I found the name Theobald Barry on "A list of the Rebel prisoners held in Limerick Jail following the Rebellion of 1798, with their sentence", which was reproduced on p. 301 of the book Irish Records: Sources for Family & Local Historians by James G. Ryan (Flyleaf Press, 1988). You can see this page of Ryan's book (p. 371 in a later edition) online here. http://books.google.com/books?id=2zON979t8o8C&pg=PA371&lpg=PA371&dq=%22theobald+barry%22+limerick&source=bl&ots=ctcY5DsMUV&sig=CfAk7a8pxyUbBkS1oDpAOt8ZI2c&hl=en&sa=X&ei=2YqlT6XrDOjWiAKLi73mAg&ved=0CEsQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=%22theobald%20barry%22%20limerick&f=false This list, which includes many more names than Barry's, was originally printed in North Munster Antiquarian Journal 10 (1) (1966). In trying to learn more about this Theobald Barry, I Googled "Theobald Barry" 1798. One of the hits was from a period newspaper called "True Briton", edition of 13 July 1798, p. 2, image online at http://newspaperarchive.com/true-briton/1798-07-14/page-2/ The article mentions other men too, so I thought I would share it with the list. Here is my transcription of the newspaper article above from True Briton (13 July 1798, p. 2): === LIMERICK, JULY 4. William Ryan Stephen [called William Ryan Stephens in most places - GWB], convicted of breaking into several houses in the county of Limerick, and taking thereout arms, and also swearing several people; was yesterday taken to Cahirconlish, by a detachment of the Royal Limerick cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant BRISCOE, and hanged pursuant to his sentence. His body was brought back and thrown into Croppies' Hole, in the New Jail Yard, appropriated for the interment of Rebels. Messrs. John O'Hogan, William Crowe, -- M'Knight [called Thomas McKnight on the list in Ryan's book - GWB], Andrew Kenny, and M. Considine [called M. Considine in Ryan - GWB], were ordered by the General Court Martial to be liberated from prison, on giving bail, which was complied with, and they were discharged. Yesterday Thomas Madigan was released without bail. Theobald Barry to be liberated, on giving bail for future good behaviour. John Quinn acquitted, and liberated. Patrick Wallis [called Patrick Wallace in Ryan - GWB] was yesterday convicted, on the most unequivocal of testimony, of raising a subscription to pay for the assassination of Charles S. Oliver, Esq. and conspiring against the life of ---- Barret, who had given Mr. Oliver the information; also with a deep plan of subverting the Constitution. He is to be hanged to-morrow at Kilfinan, and his head to be affixed on one of his own pikes, and placed on the Castle of Kilfinan [sic, Kilfinnane - GWB]. === To use newspaperarchive.com, you need a subscription (which I have), but it seems anyone is allowed to view two newspapers per day there as a guest user without a subscription. With a little more research, I discovered that the name Theobald Barry appears in Griffith's Valuation as an occupier in the townland of Cloongowna, civil parish Kilnamona, County Clare (printing date 15 September 1855). Whether he was related in any way to the Theobald Barry of 1798, I cannot say. However, some of the other surnames appearing in the above paragraph with Barry also appear in the civil parish of Kilnamona. Were they perhaps all perhaps from Clare (rather than County Limerick) and arrested together in the same "event"? I have so far not found out any more... If anyone happens to know more about this Theobald Barry or the reason he was arrested, please let me know. Most of the references I have found to the names in the article above concentrate on those who were hanged.
