Notes for Richard Barry
This is from research done by Paul C. Maroney prior to 1983. Maroney shows "Authentic records taken from the Burton Historical Collection in Detroit - as shown in the 1850-51 US Census #1465 Barry or the Township of Northfield, Washtenaw county, Michigan."
RICHARD BARRY was born in 1779 in Ireland during the Wolfe Towe Revolution. In a large book "The History of Washtenaw County" published in 1883 by C.E. Chamberlin and Sons, Paul Maroney found Richard Barry of Northfield township was one of the pioneer settlers of the township.
Paul Maroney says Richard took up a tract of land from the US Government which was located in the Township of Northfield, Washtenaw County, Michigan, being one of the early settlers in the township. The Barry home was located at 6150 Sutton Road.
Paul has a certified copy of their marriage certificate. Richard died November 12, 1834. (Obviously in error -- this date is 2 days after his marriage -- JWB).
In a letter dated February 12 1981 to Paul Maroney from Richard Barry it is stated that Richard's Uncle Lawrence who has knowledge of the family said "Richard Barry was born during the Wolfe Tone Rebellion in Ireland, and that the Barry family was involved in the rebellion, and that several of the Barry family members were declared 'ticket of leave' men and escaped from the English after Wolfe Tone was defeated and entered America through Connecticut, about 1797-1798. These men were uncles of Richard Barry -- they stayed in Connecticut except for one who went to Philadelphia."

Notes for Bridget (Spouse 1)
A copy of Washtenaw County marriage license. From 1850 Census #1145 Barry, of Northfield Township, Washtenaw County, Michigan.
BRIDGET MARONEY BARRY They were the parents of at least three sons -- William, Thomas and Daniel. Paul did not find out that any girls were born to Richard and Bridget.
"A copy of their marriage certificate states that she was married on the 10th day of November, 1834 by I.G. Leland, a Justice of the Peace, in and for Washtenaw County, Michigan. As a guess, one might think that Bridget was about 20 years of age at the time of marriage, or that she may have been born - about 1814."14
