Son of John and Rose McEncroe, My Great, Great Cousin Barlow. At 15 years he lost his right arm upto the elbow, from a 12 gauge shotgun blast. He went on to be an excellent shot and using the same gun, he'd rest the barrel on his stump. He was also a skilled footballer, and managed to carry on with his life of farming and milking as any able bodied person.
