Research notes
✓ CHRISTOPHER RYE, one of the ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF CORK; SHERIFF OF CORK 1661; MAYOR OF CORK 1667 and 1668; m. ANNE, dau. of GEORGE EVANS, ancestor of LORD CARBERY; ONLY SON George of Ryecourt. THE DOCUMENTED FLOOR of the Rye line - a Cork civic figure, so the Council Book of the Corporation of Cork should carry him and may push it further.
