E'Barritt Line?

I was rereading /Jhereg/ while waiting for /Paths of the Dead/ to appear at my
local bookstore, and I came across a reference to the first Dragon-Jhereg war.
The book says that "The e'Kieron line was almost wiped out, and for a while it
seemed the e'Barritt line had been" (Jhereg, p74). This confused me. I thought
I remember it being a point of /Dragon/ that when Barritt died, his descendants
began calling themselves e'Barritt as a tribute to his greatness. So how could
there have been any e'Barritts before the Interregnum, let alone during the
first Dragon-Jhereg war? Anyone have any ideas?
