My line of Barry's are from Cross Barry, Co Cork.Some other "Barry" places in Co Cork are:Cork City, Bandon, Buttevant, Innishannon, Barry's Path, and Barryroe.Remember that "boutez-en-avant" "was the Barry's rallying cry in their many battles," it meant "to strike forward" in old Normand French, hence the Buttevant.Also, there were so many Barry's that to distinguish between them, they had different septs or branches of the family.One, among the 5 branches was "Barry Roe" (the Red), hence Barryroe.Well I hope this helps.
