  • Notes 
    • County Leitrim, which means "Gray Ridge" in Gaelic, was named after the British Lord Leitrim of Mohill whose Irish residence was on the banks of Lough Rynn. He, unlike some of the British rulers in Ireland was apparently a very bad man, with local folklore telling of his pursuits of the daughters of many an Irish tenant farmer. That deserving reputation, along with high land taxes and evictions led to his murder on a trip to Co Donegal by four Irishmen from County Leitrim on April 2, 1878.
      When they found the body, Lord Leitrim was clutching the red hair and part of the scalp from one of his attackers. The police thought they had a sure fire way to catch and prove who killed Lord Leitrim. Find the red haired Co Leitrim man with hair and scalp missing and you have the guilty man. Within hours of the start of the search, every red haired Co Leitrim man had missing from his head, both scalp and a hand full of hair. They never were able to prove who killed Lord Leitrim. from: http://www.mctiernan.com/
