I sent this to another surname list and forgot to send it on to you guys...hope it helps make a connection... Suze John Berry married Frances Baird/Beard in Va, or possibly NC (I don't know if they "moved" because NC became a state), they had possible children named Robert/Richard, William and for sure John Berry, who married Catherine Fisher. both were born in Meeklenburg County, NC (which leads me to believe they "moved" to NC when it became a state...rather than physically moved to NC from Va). > > John and Catherine's children were: > > Henry Berry, born 1817 in NC, m Sarah unknown; > John Hamilton Berry, born Feb 28m 1793 in NC, m Charity Radar; > John Mathias Berry, b 3/3/1796 in NC, m Nancy Downing; > Ann Margaret Berry, b 3/15/2799 in NC; > Catherine Berry, b 9.4.1801 in NC, m Henry Cloninger; > Mary Berry, b 1803 in NC, m Henry Cloninger; > Solomon Berry, b 1805 in NC, m Elizabeth Myers; > Adam Berry, b 1807 in NC, m Mary M. Kimberlian; > Barbara Berry, b 1809 in NC, m Solomon Huit/Hewitt Dec 16, 1829 in Lincoln County, NC at the home of her uncle, William Berry with Henry Berry as witness (I've seen him listed as 'mulatoo'); > Elizabeth Berry, b 1811 in NC, m Henry Hartsock. > > William Berry likely is the brother to Barbara's father, John...he later moved to Georgia, to Indiana and back to Georgia, while other family members migrated and settled in Ky and Tn. My Barbara Berry/Solomon Hewitt and John Mathias Berry moved to Knox County, Indiana in 1830; Barbara's father and mother with the other brother named John Hamilton migrated to Monroe County, IN. The elder John Berry died in Monroe County, IN in August 1850; will probated in Bloomington, Indiana. His wife, Catherine, survived him. > > Another sibling to William and John, Robert, served in the Rev War and settled in Tn and perhaps later in Ky. That's unclear. > > A Berry descendent, Robert Berry, was the uncle/guardian to Nancy Hanks Lincoln and sponsered her marriage to Thomas Lincoln.
