Considering that we all began ignorant of the finer points of when, where of genealogy as well as a lot of other things, suggestions to those who get it a wee bit confused would be greatly appreciated by most. I have no proof of the following statements, but I do trust Craig to be outstanding in his genealogical endeavors. He stated the two following things in regard to John Berry: "He died in Culpeper County, Virginia in 1779." "His will was written on 10 MAY 1771, in which says is [he] lives in Bromfield Parish, Culpeper County[, Virginia]. It [the will] was proved 5 JULY 1779 and recorded in Culpeper County[, Virginia]." Thus, is I was writing about John Berry, I would use the following: "John Berry wrote his will 10 May 1771 while living in Bromfield Parish, Culpeper County, Virginia. John probably died and was buried just before 5 July 1779 when his will was proved and recorded in Culpeper [now Madison] County, Virginia. Of course, I am assuming that Bromfield Parish, Culpeper Co., VA, is now in Madison Co., VA. Also, if there is land owned by John Berry, it would be easier to describe where he probably died. I hope this helps a bit for the person who first wrote requesting assistance re John Berry. Cary

Where is Bromfield Parish? As one expounds, one must be specific in their statement of fact. Accuracy is most important. I venture to say, on a wild guess, somewhere around Criglersville, Lots of Berry's lived in this area, with my relatives. or North of Madison ,city, along hwy 29 toward Culpepper.
