Roddy McCorley
Roddy McCorley (died 28 February 1800) was an Irish Republican and Presbyterian from the civil parish of Duneane, County Antrim.〔 He was a member of the radical United Irishmen and claimed as a participant in their rebellion of 1798.
==Early years and the 1798 rebellion==
Roddy McCorley was the son of a miller and was born near Toome in the parish of Duneane, County Antrim. A few years before the 1798 rebellion McCorley's father is believed to have been executed for stealing sheep. These charges may have been politically motivated in an attempt to remove a troublesome agitator at a time of great social unrest.〔 Following his father's execution, his family were evicted from their home.
There is uncertainty as to whether McCorley actually joined the predominantly Presbyterian United Irishmen or the predominantly Catholic Defenders.〔 McCorley's role in the 1798 rebellion itself is unclear. In a poem written 100 years after the rebellion by Ethne Carbery, he is claimed to have been one of the leaders of the United Irishmen at the Battle of Antrim, however there is no documentary evidence to support this claim or prove that he even took part at all.〔
