BARRY COMPLETE PEERAGE 447 de Castries, husband of his wife's sister. (") Admon. Dec. 1829. His widow d. 6 May 1832, in Paris. Will pr. July 1832. On the Earl's death in 1823, the Earldom () certainly, and the Viscountcy (") (if it ever existed) and Barony probably, became extinct. BARRY OF SANTRY BARONY [I.] I. Sir James Barry, of Santry, co. Dublin, s. and h. , ^. of Richard B., Alderman and sometime (1610) Mayor of Dublin, by Anne, da. and h., or coh., of James Cusack, was b. 1603, ed. at Trin. Coll. Dublin. B.A. 27 Apr. 1621 ; M.A. June 1624; incorporated, Oxford, 10 July 1627, and Cambridge, same year. Admitted Line. Inn., 11 July 1621 ; barrister 1628, and King's Inns, 15 Apr. 1630. He was made Prime Serjeant [I.] 6 Oct. 1629; second Baron of the Exchequer [I.] 5 Aug. 1634; M.P. for Lismore 1634; was Knighted [I.] Aug. 1640 ; was Chairman of the Royalist Convention which met at Dublin, 7 July 1659, in defiance of the then Government, and, in reward of his services, was, at the Restoration, made P.C. [I.] and Chief Justice of the King's Bench [I.] in Nov. 1660, and was cr., 18 Feb. 1 660/ 1, BARON BARRY OF SANTRY, co. Dublin [I.], taking his seat 8 May 1661. He w., Catharine, ist da. of Sir William Parsons, Bart. [I,], uncle in the proceedings as to her husband's administration, which her mother, and guardian, Phillis Chapman, formerly Goulding, wife of William Chapman, renounced. The notorious " Lady Barrymore " (mentioned in iJ. & Q. as above), who ri. of drink, in poverty, 30 Oct. 1 832, in Charles Court, Drury Lane, was (probably) mistress (not wife) of this (the 7th) Earl. (*) At his death his sister, Lady Caroline, assumed the title of Baroness de Barry. (*") The extinction of the Earldom of Barrymore was acted upon as one of the three used, is accordance with the Act of Union [I.], for the creation of the Viscountcy of Guillamore. Had the Viscountcy of Buttevant (or any other peerage [I.] which was hdii at the time of the Union by the then Ear!) continued, the Earldom would not have been such an extinction as could have been used for a new creation. This point was decided (as regarding the Earldom of Mountrath and the Barony of Castle Coote [I.] which, at the time of the Union, were united) at the creation of the Barony of Fermoy [I.] in 1856. C^) The Viscountcy of Buttevant was assumed by James Redmond Barry, of Donoughmore, co. Cork, as h. male of the body of James, 4th Viscount. His claim to vote at the election of an Irish Rep. Peer was before the House of Lords in 1825. He was only s. and h. of James B. (d. v.p. 1800), the only s. who had issue of James B., of Mount Barry, co. Cork [d. 1802), said to be s. and h. of William Fitz James B., of Ballymacraheen, co. Cork {d. about 1760), s. and h. of James B. of the same, said to be only s. and h. of William B. of Lislee, co. Cork (living 1656), s. and h. of James B., who was s. and h. of William B., both of the same, which William (who d. before 1594) was said to be the same as William Barry, 3rd s. of James, 4th Viscount, who d. 158 1.
