Captain Joseph Atkinson convened Protestant landowners and Catholic priests as numbers swelled before the battle.
By Friday 18 September 1795, the numbers on both sides had increased so much that Captain Joseph Atkinson, a local magistrate living about a mile north of The Diamond, called for a peace conference between four Protestant landowners and three Catholic priests: Fathers Taggart, McParland, and Trainor. The supplied passage gives no explicit venue for the conference itself; it is placed in the area of Atkinson's home near The Diamond.
