GUEST,Maureen (Mary Bridget) Cooke | Rocks of Bawn - Meaning? (138* d) | RE: Rocks of Bawn - Meaning? | 07 Aug 20 |
My father Terence Cooke (grandson of the master 'The Widow Bawn') was the eldest son of Patrick and Bridget Cooke of Bawn. He worked the farm with his mother as a child and grown man. His father in America for about 15 years and so he had to become the man of the house at a very young age. He was the last man to plough the rocks of Bawn with shire horses. He was a very proud, kind and generous man with enormous dignity and wisdom. |
