David de Barry, 5th Viscount Buttevant

David, born 1550, was the second son of James de Barry{{Sfn|McGurk|2004|p=[https://archive.org/details/oxforddictionary04matt/page/121/ 121]|ps=. "Barry, David fitz James, de facto third Viscount Buttevant (1550–1617), was the second son of James fitz Richard Barry Roe (d.1581) ..."}} and Ellen MacCarthy Reagh. His father was the 4th Viscount Buttevant. His father's family was Old English and owned much land in southern County Cork.

His mother was an illegitimate daughter of Cormac na Haoine MacCarthy Reagh, 10th Prince of Carbery. Her family were the MacCarthy Reagh, a Gaelic Irish dynasty that branched from the MacCarthy-Mor line with Donal Gott MacCarthy, a medieval King of Desmond, whose sixth son Donal Maol MacCarthy Reagh was the first independent ruler of Carbery.{{Sfn|Gibson|1861|p=[https://archive.org/details/historyofcountyc01gibsiala/page/84/ 84, line 9]|ps=. "There were at this time [15th & 16th centuries] four distinct chieftainships of the Mac Carthys; the Mac Carthys Mor, or lords of Desmond, and their off-shoots, namely, the Mac Carthys Reagh of Carbery, the Donough Mac Carthys of Duhallow, and the Mac Carthys of Muskerry."}}

David had four brothers and five sisters,{{Sfn|Barry|1902|p=[https://archive.org/details/barrymorerecords00barr/page/99/ 99, line 31]|ps=. "James FitzRichard Viscount Buttevant had five sons and five daughters by his wife, Ellen, daughter of Cormac na haoine McCarthy Reagh."}} which are (as far as known) listed in his father's article. David was the de facto 5th viscount as his elder brother Richard, the de jure 5th viscount, was deaf and dumb and was passed over in the succession.

Barry married firstly Ellen Roche, daughter of David Roche, 5th Viscount Roche of Fermoy by his wife Ellen Butler, daughter of James Butler, 10th Baron Dunboyne.{{Sfn|Cokayne|1910|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo01coka/page/442/ 442, line 31]|ps=. "He m. [married], 1stly, Ellen, da. [daughter] of David (Roche), Viscount Roche of Fermoy [Ireland], by Ellen, da. of James (Butler), Lord Dunboyne [Ireland]."}}

{{Anchor|chldrn}}

David and Ellen had a son:

1. David (died {{Circa|1604}}), married Elizabeth Power, daughter of Richard, 4th Baron le Power and Corroghmore; He died predeceasing his father;{{Sfn|Cokayne|1910|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo01coka/page/442/ 443]|ps=. "David Barry, s. [son] and h. ap. [heir apparent] by his 1st wife. He m. [married] Elizabeth, 3rd da. [daughter] of Richard, 4th Lord le Powir [Ireland], by Catherine, da. [daughter] and coh. [coheir] of James Fitz John, 3rd Viscount Barry abovenamed. He d.v.p. [predeceased his father], in 1604 or 1604/5]."}} but had a posthumous son, who became David Barry, 1st Earl of Barrymore

—and six daughters:{{Sfn|Lodge|1789|p=[https://archive.org/details/peerageirelando00archgoog/page/n338/ 294, line 36]|ps=. "His Lordship's issue by his first wife were one son David, and six daughters ..."}}

1. Honora, married (1) Gerald FitzGerald of the Decies as his m2nd wife; (2) Patrick Browne{{Sfn|Burke|1866|p=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_K3MaAAAAYAAJ/page/n41/ 25, left column, line 35]|ps=. "Honora, m. [married] 1st to Gerald FitzGerald, of the Decies, by whom she had no issue; and 2ndly to Patrick Browne, Esq. of Molmnkin. co. Wexford, by whom she had William, Walter, and several daus. [daughters]."}}
2. Helen, married (1) John "Oge" Power; (2) in 1601, Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormonde;{{Sfn|Edwards|2004|p=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_0198613598/page/224/ 225, left column, line 6]|ps=. "At some time between 2 and 24 June 1601 Ormond married Helen (d. [died] 1642), daughter of David Barry, Viscount Buttevant ..."}} (3) in 1631, Thomas Somerset, 1st Viscount Somerset
3. a daughter whose name is not known who married James Tobin of Kumpshinagh{{Sfn|Lodge|1789|p=[https://archive.org/details/peerageirelando00archgoog/page/n339/ 295, line 11]|ps=. "... married to James Tobin of Kumpshinagh, in the county of Tipperary, Esq."}}
4. Ellen, married John Fitzgerald of Ballymaloe
5. Catherine, married Richard Burke, Esq.
6. Margaret, married (1) Sir Dermot O'Shaughnessy; and (2) Robert Dillon, 2nd Earl of Roscommon

At the outbreak of the First Desmond Rebellion in 1569, his father, the 4th Viscount Buttevant, supported the rebels. This rebellion ended when Fitz Maurice, the rebel leader, submitted to John Perrot, Lord President of Munster, at Kilmallock in 1573.{{Sfn|McCormack|2009|loc=4th paragraph|ps=. "... and eventually (23 February 1573) he submitted to the lord president at Kilmallock ..."}}

Barry succeeded his father in 1581.{{Sfn|Cokayne|1910|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo01coka/page/442/ 442, line 6]|ps=. "He [James, the 4th viscount] d. [died] 10 Apr. 1581."}}

Buttevant, as he was now, married secondly, Julia MacCarthy (also called Sheelagh), daughter of Cormac MacDermot MacCarthy, 16th Lord of Muskerry by his wife Mary Butler.{{Sfn|Cokayne|1910|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo01coka/page/442/ 442, line 34]|ps=. "He m. [married], 2ndly, Julia, 2nd da. [daughter] of Cormac MacCarthy, of Muskerry."}}{{Sfn|O'Hart|1892|p=[https://archive.org/details/irishpedigrees00unkngoog/page/n161/ 123, right column, line 21]|ps=. "Julia, who married twice: first, to David Barry of Buttevant; and secondly, Dermod O'Shaughnessy of Gort, in the county of Galway."}}

David and Julia had three sons and four daughters but nothing more seems to be known about them, not even their names.{{Sfn|McGurk|2004|p=[https://archive.org/details/oxforddictionary04matt/page/122/ 122, left column]|ps=. "With his second wife, Sheelagh, daughter of Cormac MacCarthy of Muskerry, Lord Barry had three more sons and four daughters."}}

In the subsequent confiscations of his estates, the friary in Buttevant, together with its glebe, passed into the hands of the poet, Edmund Spenser.

Buttevant was noted for his long and bitter feud with Sir Florence MacCarthy, the MacCarthy Mór, whose loyalty to the Crown was always suspect. Buttevant did great damage to his reputation by spreading rumours about MacCarthy's alleged acts of treason, in particular his links with Patrick O'Collun, whom Florence MacCarthy had once employed as a fencing master. In 1594 O'Collun was executed for conspiracy to kill Queen Elizabeth I. As a result, MacCarthy spent much of his later life in custody.

In 1601, during the Nine Years War Buttevant sided with the new President of Munster, Sir George Carew. In the wake of the Battle of Kinsale, he was granted large estates in Munster which had been forfeited by the MacCarthy Reagh.

Buttevant died at Barryscourt Castle 10 April 1617.{{Sfn|Austin|1885|p=[https://archive.org/details/dictionarynatio07stepgoog/page/n328/ 314, right column]|ps=. "He died at Banysoourt, near Cork, 10 April 1617."}}{{Sfn|Cokayne|1910|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo01coka/page/442/ 442, line 35]|ps=. "He d. (in the lifetime of his elder br., the de jure Viscount) 10 Apr. 1617, at Barry's Court."}} His title and estate passed to his grandson, who became 1st Earl of Barrymore in 1628.
