=Leadership====1860's-1870's==* Micky Nihil (b. Carhue, Co. Clare, Ireland) +1863+** In a 2020 KLC ''Tidings'' review of ''Letters of J.N. Darby. Supplement: Correspondence with G.V. Wigram (Vol. 1: 1838-1855 & Vol. 2: 1856-1878)'', it is noted Darby's amazement while in Ottawa finding Micky Nihil there among the Brethren, a fellow he remembered as a young lad in 1828-1829 when he was ministering in Carhue, as one who they employed to "fetch mail from the post office" during an era when JND was receiving death threats from an agrarian society known as the "White Boys" as well as from certain Catholic leaders. ** JND writes in Vol. 2, p. 187: "I was glad to find him a saint. I remember his family well: his father was the first person to whom I made myself understood in Irish, when very ill and the priest would not come. I remember my joy of his (reply in Irish, "tuigim sin"), I understand that, when I told him of Christ the true high priest."** The aforementioned (and quoted from) volumes are available from the PBCC's "Bible and Gospel Trust.
