Kelly). William was a member of the Fenians and was imprisoned in the spring of
1866 for drilling with pikes. Imprisoned with him were ten others,
seven of whom were also from Aughadown parish. Family tradition
states William was imprisoned a second time due to his Fenian activities
however to date we have found no record to prove this true. William later owned
a fishing boat named the Water Hen. She was a two
masted 50 footer and had a crew of five. The crew included William’s brothers
Dan and Mike, his nephew Jerry Shanahan, Andrew Hegarty of Lahertanvally and a
Hegarty man who was later killed in a brawl with some men from Caheragh. In the
1880's this
boat was used to draw stone from Cape Clear Island to Skibbereen to refurbish
the Cathedral. When the bottom fell out of the fishing market she was moored
beside Aughadown graveyard. The hillside beside the graveyard caught fire and her
mooring ropes burnt. She ran aground in the mud beside the graveyard. No attempt
was made to salvage her and the remains of her keel can still be seen in the
mud. William purchased his land in Big Marsh in 1914.
