May 15, 1808 These 26 persons purchased flax seed from the Monteagle estate in the Shanagolden area of Limerick in 1808. It is from the correspondence of Stephen Edward Rice (National Library of Ireland Ms 605A). The heading on the list states that 124 pottles of flax seed were sold at 1 shilling 7 pence halfpenny per pottle on 15th May 1808. (A pottle is an old measure of liquids equalling a half-gallon). Each purchaser bought between 2 to 7 pottles. They were probably tenants of the Monteagle estate. Thomas Hanly Molly CROWE Cate FLANNAGAN Cate SHEA Peggy O'BRIEN M.
