Web Notes notes for Philip DE BARRY
Camden in his Britannia states that "the name is derived from the island of Barry, co Glamorgan, and from their great riches and large estates the family have been called Barry-more, or Barry the Great." J.H. Round, however, points out that Philip's father, William, was of Manorbier Castle on the coast, west of Tenby. Philip joined his uncle in Ireland at the end of Feb, 1183. He received from his maternal uncle, Robert Fitz Stephen, about 1180, a grant of the cantred of Olethan and of two others (Muscry-Donnegan and Killhyde) in co Cork. The statements that he or his immediate successors obtained the status of a Peer, as Lord Barry, are unsupported by evidence.37

The succession of the feudal Lords of the cantred of Olethan, afterwards known at the Barony of Barrymore, has been traced, and the various pedigrees English and Irish of the different branches of the Barry family have been critically examined and collated with public and private records and the Irish annals, by the late Rev E. Barry, P.P., M.R.I.A., Vice Pres. R.S.A. Ireland, in a series of papers entitled "Barrymore," published in the Journal of the Cork Historical and Archaelogical Soc, 2d ser, vols v, vi, vii, viii (1899-1902).37

About the year 1180 Philip de Barri received from his uncle Robert Fitzstephen (the grantee of the eastern portion of the 'Kingdom of Cork') a sub-infeudation of three cantreds -- Olethan, Muskerry-Donegan and Killyde. Olethan, the former Uí Liatháin tribeland, is now known as Barrymore; Muskerry-Donegan approximates to Orrery and Kilmore while Killyde was in the south of the present Co. Limerick. In 1183 Philip crossed to Ireland to relieve his uncle who, followign the slaying of Milo de Cogan, was besieged in Cork. After a short stay in Ireland, he returned to Manorbier where he died in 1200, leaving a son, William to succeed him. Another son, Robert, had been killed near Lismore about 1185.38

Philip and Robert de Barry, sons of Angharad FitzGerald, got large estates in Cork.

Circa 1180 he received a grant of the cantreds of Olethan, and Muscry-Donnegan and Killyde (County Cork) from his uncle, Robert Fitz Stephen. G.E. Cokayne; with Vicary Gibbs, H.A.
