Mayo History Major John McBride of Westport, County Mayo was among the leaders of the Easter Rising of 1916. Eighteen seventy nine (1879) was also the year the Mayo Land League was founded and local Michael Davitt emerged as a leader in the land movement which had as its basis to place land in the hands of the tenant farmers. Their timing was off, because by the time they got around to doing something the British had crushed the Ulster rebels in a battle in County Down and others, two months earlier, near Enniscorthy in County Wexford at a place called Vinegar hill. users.ev1.net /~gpmoran/MRN3C.HTM
