By the way, there is included an interesting story about Richard and Alice Tackaberry.
Richard Tackaberry was "burned in Wexford Market House in 1798" and his wife, Alice, escaped from the Scullabogue Barn Massacre with her son, Nathaniel, on her back while the guards slept.
Nathaniel(b.1792) and his wife buried their money somewhere and escaped Ireland. Supposedly Nathaniel attempted to tell his son Richard Anthony Tackaberry b. 1829 about the location of the money in his dying breath.
Richard Tackaberry was a yeoman and a banker.
