> I have sprung for this book, compiled by Brian Mitchell. It contains two

> PRONI as T808/15176, from the National Archives in London, State Papers,
> Domestic, Commonwealth Exchequer Papers, bundles 120 and 121). The second
> is
> from "The Fighters of Derry Their Deeds and Descendants..." by William
> Young, published in 1932. It covers the period 1688-1691. It also names
> those of the Enniskillen campaign as well as the harrying of Jacobite
> forces
> in Connaught and Ulster by locally raised regiments out of Enniskillen,
> Battle of the Boyne, Battle of Aughrim, and the final Irish surrender 23
> Sept. 1691. It includes the list of 921 people declared traitors by James'
> II's parliament in Dublin in 1689.
