Note 6 — Chapter XXI · MUNSTER AND CONNAUGHT, 1641-1642
Reading edition
Deposition of Goldsmith in 1643 in Hickson, i. 375. Other witnesses in 1653, ib. i. 387-399 and ii. 1-7. Henry Bringhurst’s evidence, as being rather favourable to Lord Mayo, has been chiefly followed for the massacre. See also Hardiman’s Hist. of Galway, p. 110, and the letters in Clanricarde’s Memoirs, 1757, pp. 77, 80. The Galway men tried to throw the blame on their Mayo neighbours, for fear of Clanricarde.
