I might be connected to those Berrys. I am not sure which Berry line I am connected to. I have wondered if my gr gr grandfather Thomas Baker Berry came from Va to Md, since I can't find a definate connection to the Charles Co. Berrys or who his parents or line were. I have seen some Thomas Berrys listed in amongst siblings of families, but no Thom. B. Berrys.
