    1. [WEXFORD] North Barry Corps of Yeomanry

    3. 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
