Acknowlegement

• This profile is and was a collaborative work. I had tried to find parents for both Peter Barry (this profile) and Frank Barry Barry-1283 born 1824 in Canada since April 2016, in response to an inquiry made here: http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/245723/looking-for-parents-of-frank-barry-born-1824-in-canada; we found possible parents for Peter and Frank but as of July 2020 some information is now in question.
