Description: Rossa's Recollections 1838 to 1898 by O'Donovan Rossa Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In the Old Abbey field of Ross Carbery, County of Cork, is the old Abbey Church of St. Fachtna. Some twenty yards south of the church is the tomb of Father John Power, around which tomb the people gather on St. Johns eve, "making rounds" and praying for relief from their bodily infirmities. On the tombstone it is recorded that Father Power died on the 10th of August, 1831. I was at his funeral; I heard my mother say she was "carrying" me that day. It is recorded on the parish registry that I was baptized on the 10th of September, 1831; that my god-father was Jerrie Shanahan, and my god-mother Margaret ODonovan. When I grew up to boyhood I knew her as "Aunty Peg." She was the wife of Patrick ODonovan "Rua," and was the sister of my mothers father, Cornelius ODriscoll. Jerrie Shanahans mother was Julia ODonovan Rossa-my fathers uncles daughter. She is buried in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Her granddaughter Shanahan is the mother of nine or ten children of the Cox family, the shoe manufacturers of Rochester, N. Y., who by "clounas" are connected with the family of ex-Congressman John Quinn of New York, as John Quinns mother was the daughter of Denis Kane of Ross, whose wife was the sister of John Shanahan. I dont know if John Quinn knows that the Coxes of Rochester are cousins of his; I dont know would he care to know that his mothers first cousin, Jerrie Shanahan is my second cousin, and my god-father. There were forty men of my name and family in my native town when I was a boy; there is not a man or a boy of my name in it now. One woman of the name lives as heritor of the old family tomb in the Old Abbey field. And that is the story of many another Irishman of the old stock. Families scattered in death as well as in life; a father buried in Ireland, a mother buried in Carolina, America; a brother buried in New York, a brother buried in Pennsylvania, a sister buried in Staten Island. The curse that scattered the Jews is not more destructive than this English curse that scatters the Irish race, living and dead.
