Research notes
~ Richard Barry of the Rath (Rathbarry), 1st s. of James 'Barryroe' of Ibawne, 'but illegit. according to a decision of the spiritual court', so that Ibawne and the Barry roe chieftainship passed to his half-brothers (CP I p.442); father of James FitzRichard, 4th Viscount Buttevant. His wife not wired: the CP chart at this point is not legible in the text copy. ~: CP gives this rung in its text, from the Carew MSS pedigrees as corrected by Rev. E. Barry and Burtchaell, with no dates - hence ~. Source: Complete Peerage 2nd edn vol. I (1910), 'Barry, Barrymore or Buttevant' pp.441-2 and the folding pedigree facing p.442 (G.D. Burtchaell from Rev. E. Barry's 'Barrymore', JCHAS 1899-1902, and the Carew MSS pedigrees), read 3 Nov 2026 (archive.org djvu text).
