120T. 1 David de Barry was Lord of Buttevant (not "Viscount," as so often 

 stated), and the family spread, fighting the Mac Carthys generation after 

 generation, with little support from the Government. 2 In 1301 John de 

 Barry appears as holding Obaun (Ibane, round Dundeady) with iluscry and 

 Olethan, and the Obaun property of John Fitz Philip de Barry is also noted. 3 

 In 1316 David de Barry held Thamelag (Timoleague) and Bath (Bathbarry, at 

 Dundeady and Dunoure); his plea was judged at La Britasche (Brittas, 

 between Clonakilty and Dundeady). Another suit regarding the same land 

 and Lislea (near Seven Heads) was heard in 1326. i This group of places is 

 frequently met with in documents from the fourteenth to the seventeenth 

 century (1316-1624) in almost the same words. 5 Dundeide was a mearing 

 of Tuath on Aenghusa in Corcalaidhe, before 1360, along with Gaiblin an 

 ghaith, Goilin na gaethneamhdha, or Goleen Bay at Divnowen. 6 In the 

 reign of Elizabeth, Baptist Boazio's map shows Can Donnledi and the 

 Hardiman map, 1590, Can Donnededy; Speed, 1610, marks Can Dondody. 

 Some of the Barrys' retainers, Donell Hicken of Downdedy, in 1601, and 

 Fynan mac Carte of Downdeody, were pardoned in the war of 1602 and 1603.' 

 David Barry, Viscount Buttevant, in January, 1599, made a long settlement 

 of his lands with a strict clause that if any of his sons became rebels their 

 rights should lapse to the next loyal brother. 8 It was fatal prescience. 

 He and several of his sons died in peace. His son John " long before the 

 rebellion " mortgaged Liscarroll and Downdeady in Ibaune to Sir Philip 

 Percival (actually in April, 1640). Percival is recognized as the owner, 

 in 1655, of Downedeady, Liscarroll, Dromcarbud, and Dunowre, and is 

 mentioned at Dundeady in the Book of Distribution, p. 60. He was confirmed 

 by the Act of Settlement in 1667; and his son John is named as joint 

 owner. 9 1 keep the notices of the Barrys together, so far, for clearness, 

 but must note a few other facts. After the cruel sack of Baltimore by 



Charter Roll, is John, m. 5, "the Cantred of Cork given to his father Philip 

 (de Barri) by Robert Fitz Stephen," dated at Woodstock, May 8th, 1207.
