HOLY CROSS MURDERS 1826-7
On Sat. 30 June 1826, Richard Chadwick,
eldest son of Rd. Chadwick of Perryville, nephew of Mr. Wm. Sadlier Wells [now
Kingswell] Tipperary was shot dead on the road-way between the village of
Bohernacrusha & Rathcannon, parish of Holycross, at a point where the
bridge crossing the railway was later erected.
Involved in the conspircy were - Edmond Ryan of Ballymoreen, John Walsh,
Tom Keogh & his sons, Patrick & John, Micheal Treacy, Watt
Grace, John Daniel, Micheal Luby, Thomas & Darby Bryan. They hid in the grove & joined there by
Watt Grace & Jack Walsh & Ml. Treacy brought powder. Thomas Keogh and Michael Treacy altered
their former pleas of not guilty to guilty.
In the cases of William Grace, Thomas Keogh, Michael Treacy,
Thomas Maher, Ml. Luby and James Daniel who had changed to a plea of guilty -
the sentence of death was passed on them as a matter of course. Six transported for life:- Wm. Grace, Thos.
Keogh, Daniel and Thomas Maher, Ml. Luby, and Ml. Treacy.
Tipperary
Convicts transported 1829
Tom
Maher; James Daniel; Tom Keogh; Michael Looby; William Grace and Michael Tracy
all from the general area of Cashel Co. Tipperary transported in 1829 following
the Spring Assizes in Clonmel. Maher settled around the Illawara area; Keogh
around Maitland; Looby at Ryansvale, Springfield; Grace drowned in 1833; Tracy
at Port Maquarie and Daniel was in Parramatta area in 1837 but it's not known
if he stayed there. All transported on the 'Governor Ready' in 1829. Grateful
for any information on these men, their families etc.
Thomas
MAHER sentenced to life aged 26 conditional pardon I
know all the lads were sentenced to life - the murder is still remembered
fairly vividly in Tipperary so the background information is fine; it's what
happened them when they got to Australia is what I'm trying to ascertain. Tom
Maher did well - got a cp in 1831 for shooting a bushranger; William Grace
drowned in the 'Gundaroo' river (I assume that's the Yass river) and the others
I'm not sure of as such. I'm carrying out this research from Tipperary so don't
have access to the resources available in Australia as freely as I'd like; and
ironically the little bits I discover about the lives of the men in Australia
is informing about their previous lives in Tipperary. There is no mention of
any of the men in the early part of the Colonial Secretarys index; much of
importance happened in the later years - James Daniel petitioned the Governor
in 1839 regarding his cancelled ticket of leave - I have yet to ascertain the
circumstances in which he forefeited his TL - he received a CP in 1847. I
cannot ascertain if Treacy ever got a CP or indeed what may have happened him.
It appears that he was sent to Port Maquarie because he had one leg much shorter
than the other and therefore had a pronounced limp. I am writing an article for
a local historical journal and would be grateful for any information at all on
these men. Joan Keogh 10 Mar 2006 OTHER
