Hi Terry, Where are your McGarry's from? Where did you get the Coat of Arms, is it an actual ancient one or photo, tell us more. There's a lot of us out here, just lurking, we need to get the ole Clan fires burning and join up to help each other's research along. Anyone's more than welcome to correct me or add on. Always keep the McGarry humor, "Some family Coat of Arms tie in the back." Searching COLL, CARNEY, EGAN, MURRAY, NOONAN, SHARKEY, O'RORKE, DALY, BEIRNE, MANNING, REDMOND, CASSERLY, and all McGARRY's. 1838 (so far) Boyle, Frenchpark, Castlereagh, Roscommon, Ireland to Fairfield, CT & Essex, NJ, USA 1890 McGarry - Mag Fhearadhaigh, Mac Fearadais Fear Garbh Ar Maith - A good blunt man here Argent a lion rampant between four trefoils slipt vert, in chief a lizard passant vert. Crest: A fox's head couped gules holding in the mouth a snake proper.

Snake in mouth represents attacking evil. Our Motto reads, "The McGarry men are good." The Oak leaves represent that it is an ancient and strong family.
