Sometimes people genuinely forget due to life's other distractions...work, children,etc

Incidently on the edge of Teievenadarragh Wood in Loughinisland there is a grave of a Brian McCormick who was a volunteer in the Killinchy contingent of the United Irish men. He was killed by Royalist forces as he tried to make his way home after the Battle of Ballynahinch and was buried where he fell. Bit of a local story, not too many know about it, a headstone was erected some years later.
