Now there is a Curry from the area you find the O'Sullivans in Co. Cork also Co. Clare(Thomond is in Co. Clare)  Here you go: There was a little known sept (Irish gouping of people now called clans by people. Still we were septs more than clans. This is another story so back to Curry.)  of O'Curry in the barony of Kerricurrehy in Co. Cork, where the name is now often found as Corry. This Cork sept may have been a branch of the main Thomond sept. They are recorded as a sept of Corca Laoighe and the name is found also in Kerry, presumably as a result of migration. In addition to the main sept of Ó Comhraidhe another of the same name was located in County Westmeath, where they were Chiefs of Moygoish. Curristown, to which they gave their name, (now known as Belmont) is testimony to their power and significance in that area. There is also a Curry from Ulster. Slan Seamus O'More of the Moore's of Rathkeale, Co. Limerick O'Sullivan's of Castlebeartown , (I think their coat of arms was a hand with a sword being held upright) a now scattered sept of O'Sullivan's --- On Wed, 8/12/09, Barbara Mahoney <bjmahon31@verizon.net> wrote: From: Barbara Mahoney <bjmahon31@verizon.net> Subject: Re: [BEARA] Curry To: beara@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, August 12, 2009, 4:36 AM My Curry was from Scotland.  Apparently it was a border tribe. -----Original Message----- From: beara-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:beara-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Julie Ohanley Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 9:37 PM To: beara@rootsweb.com Subject: [BEARA] Curry Is Curry of Beara origin?   Someone I know is seeking his Irish heritage - knows the family is from "County Cork."
