Old Niall Cashen, of Shanbogh, Rosbercon [DD Notebook 2, interview of Nicholas Forristal, the Mill, Graiguenakill, Glenmore in February 1970]
Old Niall Cashen is thought to have been the first of that family in Shanbogh. He came from around Ballyneale. The family is all buried in Ballyneale. Tom Cashen is buried in Glenmore because he went with his wife’s people. Old Niall Cashin was a bailiff for ?? over the Shanbogh land. The Cashins of Shanbogh were related to the Greenes of Jamestown. It was believed that old Niall was married to a Green or she was closely related to the Greens. Old Niall Cashen thought a lot of himself and when his son Tommy Cashen was getting married to Anty Roche, of Jamestown he said to one of the old Malones of Shanbogh, “Did you hear the latest? A son of Niall Cashen is getting married to Maizhe Horseshit’s daughter.” Maizhe (the local way of pronouncing Maura) or Maura Roche used to have an ass and cart going around the roads collecting the horse droppings for sowing the spuds on the hill. Nicky Forristal remembered seeing her collecting the horse manure. She died when he was about 6 years old.

When Tom Cashin went to pay the year’s rent that was owed, Strangemen refused to accept it an instead evicted him. This occurred in 1894 or so.
Thomas Cashin, (c. 1861-1951) of Shanbogh [Obit New Ross Standard, on Friday the 23 of February 1951]
Ex-Guardian’s Death.—The death occurred at Shanbogh on Wednesday of last week, of Mr. Thomas Cashin, one of the last survivors of the New Ross Board of Guardians and Ida Rural Council that came into existence after the passing of the 1898 Local Government Act. He had reached his 90th year and, during a long spell of useful public service, he commanded the esteem of his fellow members.
The late Mr. Cashin had vivid memories of his youth and was a young boy when the bridge spanning the Barrow between Rosbercon and New Ross collapsed and was carried away by a flood on January 18th, 1867. He could recall the ferry float that was put into service after that occurrence, for the conveyance of cattle, sheep and pigs to the New Ross fair. He also had stirring memories of the Land League and of evictions that occurred in his district. He was in attendance at the Leinster football final played at Talbot Hall in 1888, when Kilmacow, representing Kilkenny, defeated the Wexford Blues and Whites. That was the first Leinster final played in Co. Wexford, and the field, for the purpose, was made made available by, the late Very Rev. John Furlong, 0.S. A., and the late Dr. Ml. Walsh, who were trustees of the property at the time.
The late Mr. Cashin took a keen interest in the salmon fishing industry, and was a member of the Waterford Conservetors for many years. His death is greatly regretted and deep sympathy is extended to his relatives. On Friday, interment took place in Glenmore cemetery after Requiem Mass in Glenmore Church. There was a large attendance of mourners present. R.I.P.

Cashin Family of Shanbough [Comment submitted by Adam J. Cashin on 17 Oct. 2020 to Glenmore-History Post]
Thomas was Vice Chairman of Ida Rural District for 25 years (1899 to 1924); he had 14 children (10 surviving to adulthood) I’m descended from his third son Murtagh (1889-1978) whose only surviving son, my Grandad, (Patrick) Jim Cashin (1925 – 2019) emigrated to England in 1945. My Grandad died last year a couple of months shy of his 94th birthday. The last of Thomas and Anastasia’s surviving children was Nicholas Cashin, who died in London in 1996 at the age of 91; whilst their daughter May Mernagh (Mary Cassin) was 94 when she died in 1992. It seems many of the Cashin’s have a certain longevity
Thomas Cashin is the Tommy Cashen mentioned in the section on his father “Old Niall Cashen, of Shanbogh”. Old Niall’s official name was Michael and this is the name used in all official documentation; his wife was Catherine Green. I have not established that Catherine was definitely related to the Green’s of Jamestown; but it is pleasing to see that Nicholas Forristal thought so even though he did not know that Catherine was a Green. Catherine’s estimated birth year of 1830 predates the Glenmore baptism records but she is not mentioned on the Green’s memorial stone
Michael/Niall and Catherine were also the parents of Big Murt (Murtagh) of Shanbough (1871-1961) another long lived Cashin, who served as clerk of works. They were also the parents of Mary and Margaret Cashin, who were material witness’s in the murder of Charles Boyd (Shanbough, 1880). As key witness’s for the prosecution the authorities moved Mary and Margaret to Dublin for ‘their safety’. Michael was able to secure their liberty over a month after their detention; through both legal and personal action and travelled to Dublin to liberate them in person. The Cashin sister’s plight was raised in the house of commons by John Redmond (MP for New Ross and later leader of the IPP), but was ignored.
The other great landlord murder in Shanbough, was the murder of Joseph Leonard in 1834, it also involved a Cashin; James Cashin was an active participant in the murder (though armed with stones rather than firearms), but became a prosecution witness (approver) to avoid conviction. James’ 7 year old brother Michael also testified at the trial. I do not believe this Michael and Old Niall to be the same person, Nicholas Forristal assertion that Old Niall moved to Shanbough from Ballyneale seems likely; the 1834 Shanbough Cashin’s featured many first names that were not recorded in future generations; whilst Michael, Thomas and Murtagh all appear in the earliest records of Ballyneale.
