Slaying of the "Innocent" boy by Yeos, May 1798

Various writers tell of an event that took placeat Scarawalsh Bridgenear the time ofthe Boolavogue incident. Some writers say that the innocent/idiot/retarded (depending of the sensitvities of writer's era) boymurdered by theYeoswas thenephew of a local priest. Later writers suggest the priest to beFr. Thomas Clinch, and that this murder precipitated Fr. Clinch's entry into the rebelliion.Perhaps it was the case that pursuit of this subject did not fit within the scope of these writer's histories, or perhaps even as early as 1803 this was a faint memory. I am wondering if any members of this group have local knowledge of the event. As a descendant of the Clinch line, I would like to learn the names of family members of the boy and any details that might yet circulate in Wexford. Ido notknow whether said Bridge is evenwithin the parish of Ferns, but thought i would start the thread here.
