Scope and content

Two letters from John Kenny (born 1784), Ennis, County Clare to Dr Charles Russell concerning information on the Siege of Limerick and the 1798 Rebellion. Remarks 'In reply to your enquiry regarding John MacNamara, I was in his house when he died. This must have been before March 1799...I...have no further recollection of his having stated that he was at the Siege of Limerick than that I well remember his contrasting the mildness of the executions during the Rebellion of 1798 with the wholesale slaughter he himself witnessed in the same place.' (1 April 1863, 4pp). Gives names and ages of those he know whose age exceeded 100.
