Barry (Leamlara)
At the beginning of the 18th century the head of this family was Standish Barry, son of David Barry of Leamlara, county Cork and Catherine Grady of Elton, county Limerick. In 1708 Standish Barry married Eleanor Quin of Adare, county Limerick and had a number of children. Their grandson, Standish Barry, married Margaret Roche in 1787 and their daughter Penelope purchased Leamlara from her brother, Garrett S. Barry. In January 1851 the estate of Garrett Standish Barry amounting to over 2,500 acres in the barony of Barrymore was advertised for sale. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Penelope Barry held an estate in the parish of Ballycurrany, barony of Barrymore. In the 1870s she owned 672 acres in county Cork. Other purchasers of the estate sales in 1851 and 1852 such as Richard Butler, William Dutton, Edmund Burke Roche and Robert Morrogh are given on the askaboutireland website. see http://www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/history-heritage/big-houses-of-ireland/leamlara-house-co.-cork/index.xml
