Burke's shows this John DeCourcy as son of the Patrick DeCourcy mentioned in 1221 as leading noble.

Tucker's "The County & City of Cork Remembrances" suggests John and Patrick were brothers, but refers to John as Baron of Kinsale. (however, also suggests battle and death were 1301).

Walter de la flaye, the king's Escheator in Ireland,
took possession of the De Courcy property, and made
it over, for a composition, 12 12s. per annum, on
James Keating, " for the use of the heir of the said
John Lord Courcy."

According to this deed, the De Courcy property con-
sisted of " The manor of Kilbrittan, Ringrone, with
the mills and fisheries ; the lands of Carrotsheran,
Holderness, Liffynin, Fathax, Lyside, and Kingsale, in
the county Cork ; and the country of Glynardall and
other lands in the county of Kerry."
