First of all I would like to thank the list members who have responded to my query concerning the North Barry Yeomanry. Encouraged by that response I thought I might post my general interest in any information which might lead me to further information on the following families in my genealogy who emigrated to Canada in the early 19th century. Blake: Dorothea Blake (c1765-1828) born Ballinglen, Preben Parish, County Wexford , Ireland. She had at least four brothers and one sister; John, Joseph, Robert, Cuthbert and Ann and the family seemed to also have connections/relations in Counties Wicklow and Carlow. Dorothea first married (c1790) to unknown man named Richardson by whom she had at least three daughters; Mary (b. c1791), Ann (b.1792) and Elizabeth (b. c1794). In 1801 she married John Greenley/Grinlay/Greenlee/Etc. (1775-1854) born at Townland of Knockadawk, Kiltrish Parish, County Wexford, Ireland. Emigrated to Canada in 1816. Burrows: William Burrows b. c1811, Ireland (possibly County Wexford or County Carlow) and wife Jane Graham. Emigrated to Canada in the 1820s.

Served as a dragoon under Hawtrey White in the Ballaghkeen Yeomanry and wounded in 1798 Rebellion. John's apparent brother George and sister Margaret were killed in the 1798. He also had a sister Jane. In 1801 John Greenley married widow Dorothea Blake-Richardson (c1765-1818) of Ballinglen Parish, Preben Parish, County Wexford, Ireland. Emigrated to Canada in 1816. Moulton: Joseph Moulton (1784-1829) born at Barnahusk Parish, Rectory of Marragh, Bunclody, County Wexford Ireland. Married Ann Elizabeth Warren (1790-1878). Emigrated to Canada in 1819. This Joseph is a son or nephew of Joseph Moulton (b. c1760) believed to have been born in either County Wexford or County Carlow and, by an unknown wife, had children; Robert (c1781-1874), John (c1794-1870), Thomas (1801-1868 and Elizabeth (c1803-1860). Joseph Sr. may have served in the North Barry Yeomanry. He emigrated to Canada in 1817. Richards: William Richards (c1790-1854) believed to have been born in County Wexford, Ireland. Joined Royal Navy c1802, in 1817 was commanding a merchant vessel sailing London to Portugal. Married (c1816) Mary Richardson, d/o Dorothea Blake-Richardson (c1765-1818).

I don't know anything about that particular corps, but if they were made up of Wexford men, they were most likely stationed outside of Wexford, and therefore wouldn't have had anything to do with the '98 rebellion in Wexford. The Yeomen who were involved in '98 were mostly from Cork. Yeomanry corps didn't serve in their home counties to prevent loyalties from being divided.

I have an ancestor (JOSEPH MOULTON b.c1760) who emigrated to Upper Canada in 1817. In connection with a land grant application (Leeds County, Ontario Canada), he presented an attestation regarding his service in the North Barry Corps of Yeomanry. The individual was probably born in the immediate environs of Bunclody (Newtownbarry) and the attestation in question is countersigned by S.W. Peppin, Rector of Barragh (in County Carlow, I believe). In the course of some considerable research regarding the 1798 rebellion I can find not a single reference to the North Barry Corps of Yeomanry. I would like to know more of the North Barry Corps of Yeomanry and any role they may have had in the events of 1798

Jack There was a lot of sectarian violence during that period in Ireland and in the major cities of England. I know a little about the situation on Merseyside where extremists became polarised into Orangemen and Fenians. Riots broke out regularly at street level especially after processions when both elements would try to claim possession of the streets and of certain quarters in the towns. The sectarian violence that was part of life in Ireland had been transported to places like Liverpool Manchester and Glasgow along with the influx of famine immigrants. The same happened in America (Gangs of New York!) In 1858 the Irish Republican Brotherhood was formed specifically to organise armed struggle against British Rule in Ireland. In 1862 Birkenhead witnessed the notorious Garibaldi Riots. In 1867 a Fenian plot to raid the arsenal at Chester Castle and transport the arms by train to Holyhead was foiled at the last minute. Three men were hanged as a result. The Fenians were a very real threat to the establishment in this period and had a lot of support from America. Nothing is new. In 1862, during the American Civil War, Lairds Ship Yard in Birkenhead had supplied the Confederates with the "Alabama" which created havoc for the Union navy. That didn't help relations. I don't know much about the methods the Fenians used to obtain weapons, but certainly some would have come from American sources. As regards the ransom and avoiding Ulster, in those days Ulster was just a province of Ireland and the whole country was under British Rule.

One scenario about how the guns were aquired went some like the following; a) Pick up Cod, other fish in St.John's and sail to Charleston. b) Sell for the fish money, provision the ship and then on to Kingston, Jamaica c) Buy fresh fruit, molasses there and sail back to Charleston. d) Exchange the molasses and fruit for guns, e) Provision the ship, then sail on to Ireland with weapons. As ransom was on his head would he stay away from Ulster? perhaps operating out of Cork or Waterford/ Wexford? Does any of this sound legit to any of your researchers. While some of these facts may have been altered over time, there appears to be some consistency with respect to his either being hung or the ransom to be hung. If this was going on, who might be be working with in Ireland. The Young Irelanders, Fenians, or some other group at the time whose objective was the free Ireland. Any advise would be welcome, my eyes are burning trying to read old newspapers from micro-film!
