Betsy Gray ‘If through Killinchy’s Woods and Dales
You searched a summer’s day
The fairest maiden to the found
Was bonnie Betsy Gray’ Betsy Gray was a Scots Presbyterian peasant girl from outside Lisburn in Co. Antrim in what is today Northern Ireland, who was killed as part of the 1798 Rebellion of the United Irishmen, and is the subject of many folk ballads and poems about her written since her time down to the present day. She fought in the Battle of Ballynahinch against the Yeomanry, and was killed in retreat along with her brother and lover, having her right hand cut off before being decapitated. She is a folk hero to all in Ulster, with both loyalists and republicans claiming her as their own, as typified by the centenary celebrations where the locals broke a monument to her sooner than let Nationalists have a ceremony in her honour. 
The 1790's were not pleasant times in Ulster. Sectarian strife was now rampant, especially in Ulster, with secret oath-bound societies springing up everywhere. The Protestants had the ‘peep-o-day boys’ and the Catholics had the Defenders. Following a fight at Loughgall in Co. Armagh in 1795 the Orange Order was founded to protect the rights and interests of the Protestant community. These were made up mainly of men from the Orange Lodges while most of the Defenders enlisted in the United Irishmen. Similarly, in Ulster, the birthplace of the Society and once its greatest source of strength, there was no sign of rebellion. Only a week later did the Belfast Executive, led by Henry McCracken and Samuel Orr commit to the uprising. The ideals of the United Irishmen joining republicans of all religions did not succeed to a great extent as distrust between Presbyterians and Catholics prevented a close alliance of forces. Towns like Randelstown and Ballymena were captured but keeping them proved difficult to the rebels. Other towns like Ballynahinch and Newtownards fell to the rebels but as with what was happening elsewhere, the British Army armed with Cannon made short work of lines of advancing pike men. Many of the rebels were killed and the remainder forced to retreat including Betsy Gray a United Irish volunteer who rallied on the pike men on several occasions.
