OT - Aye me hearty, that I have! Those White Boys must've been "beyond the pale". As I understand it, the English crown instituted the penal laws which basically said that the Irish are not human beings and we English can do anything we want; which they proceeded to do forthwith. The "White Boys" (known by white shirts, not skin<g>) said F U, not in my country you don't, and proceeded to tear down all fences set up by the English, kill their cattle, and generally raise hell. They had contemporaries all over Ireland, such as the Oak Boys, the Steel Boys, etc and so forth. These were all "secret societies" designed to thwart the will of the English Crown and it's henchmen. Kind of like early versions of the IRA. <g> Now, don't keep me in suspense one minute longer - what was William Fants' part in all this! <g> TIA OSX Boy Bull <g>
