However being the only woman meant that she was quickly forced to learn how to run the household, look after the animals and patch of land that they owned. However she possessed her mother’s natural patience and love of animals and became better at running the house than many other married woman in the village. However at the age of 16 the county of Mayo came under attack from Galway and both her brother and father left to fight them.
