Notes

[1] Intermarried: The Barrys intermarried with the Bourkes; the Raleighs, of Rawleystown; Fitzgeralds and Molonys of the co. Clare; Hartwells of Bruff; O'Shaughnessys, a branch of the Gortensignara family; Grenes, of Cappamurra; etc. The principal seats of the Bourkes (mentioned in this genealogy) were Brittas Castle; Bilboa Court, Caherconlish, Castle Connell, Ballybricken Court, Ballynegarde, and Kilpeacon. A large grant of the lands of Rawleystown, which was part of the Desmond Estate, was in 1609 made by King James the First to James Raleigh, uncle to Sir Walter Raleigh.

[2] Vault: The inscription on that vault is still legible, and reads as follows:—

"Nobilis admodum Dulamus Barry In honorem suorum Parentum sui ipsius, Uxoris Joannae Bourke, et filiorum suorum, hoc sepulchrum fieri curavit.

"Antiqua Genitus Barri de stirpi Dulamus

Quique Appolonea Doctus in arte viget.

Quique fide plenus nusquam languentibus agris,

Defuit et Potriam qualibet auxit ope

Haec pius extinctis monumenta parentibus affert,

Quae sibi quaeque deinsint monumenta suis

Tu qui cernis opus mortis memor esto futurae,

Dic praecor hac vivant qui tumulantur humo.

A.D.1633."

[3] Ingoldsby: Sir Henry Ingoldsby, governor of Limerick, got large grants of the confiscated Estates of the Bourkes, in the Barony of Clanwilliam, co. Limerick; including Ballybricken, Fryarstown, Luddenmore, Ballyhoudan, etc. Sir Henry Ingoldsby's mother was Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Oliver Cromwell, Knight of the Bath, eldest brother of the Protector's father. Lord Massy represents this family at present.

[4] Sandville: Sandville is a part of Fryarstown.

[5] Grene: The Grenes of Cappamurra are descended from a brother of Sir Thomas Grene, of Bobbing, Kent, who settled at Corstown, co. Kilkenny, in 1608. This family have retained the old spelling of the name Grene.
