CARLOW POTATO FAILURE OF 1845
Letter from Thomas Kinsella to Lord Frankfort's Dublin agents, dated November 11, 1845, enclosing a letter of credit for his considerable rent, £79 -13s, he writes "with many thanks and would have sent it sooner but waiting for the Fair of Carlow..... I am sorry to tell you half of my potatoes are completely rotten".
During the 1840s in Co. Carlow, Lord Frankfort owned about 630 statue acres at Rathrush, where Kinsella was one of his prominent tenants. [Mary Hogan, born Kinsella and resident at Rathrush House in recent years is a descendant of Thomas].
