Welcome! This site is about my family and ancestors, the Barry family, who have been residents of Westfield since 1849. This was the year my great-great grandfather's brother arrived in America and settled in Westfield. My great-great grandfather, Michael Barry, arrived in New York City in 1851 and came to stay with his brother, John, in Westfield. Michael left the small town of Knockakeen, Parish Lisgoold in County Cork, which is just outside of city Cork. He was 16 years of age, his brother being a year older, and like his brother appears to have come across the ocean alone. This branch of the family also includes the surnames POWERS, BARUFFA, NAGLE, PIERCE, FOX, KING, CONDRON, FOX, GROFFANI and TUTTLE (Yes, those infamous Tuttle's from New Haven, Connecticut) To save space I have only included the main tree on this page.
