BERRY My records have a Samuel Berry, b. about 1664 in England and died before 1753 in Charles County, MD About 1689, in Charles Co., he married Ann Cawood, who was born about 1675 In my records, they had 2 daughters Mary Berry, born about 1718 and Sarah Berry, born about 1717, died 22 May 1777 Mary Berry married John Robey IV before 1734 in Charles Co. (John Robey IV, b. 1714 in Charles Co., d. 1804 in Iredell Co., NC) this couple had 9 children Sarah Berry married John Wynn, 24 Aug. 1738 (John Wynn, b. 1720) This couple had 15 children None of this gets you closer to Judge Berry, but the Berry name was present in Charles Co. Perhaps Samuel Berry and Ann Cawood had more children than just the two daughters.

I don't think Samuel Berry married Ann Cawood, unless she was a different one than the d/o Stephen Cawood and Mary Cox. She is given in her father's will as Anne Thomas, the widow of William Atchison. In a 1737 deed issued by her mother, she is named as the wife of John Thomas. In the 1745 probate of John Clubb, her mother and brother are given as his next of kin, and wife Anna is named. Her oldest son, William Atchison, was the surety of the estate. If there is other proof that she married third, John Clubb, I don't have it. She died sometime in 1745 before Mathew Clubb is given as the "surviving" executor of his father. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Wedding" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 12:38 PM Subject: Re: [MDCHARLE] MDCHARLE Digest, Vol 2, Issue 168 > BERRY > > My records have a Samuel Berry, b. about 1664 in England and died > before 1753 in Charles County, MD > > About 1689, in Charles Co., he married Ann Cawood, who was born about > 1675 > > In my records, they had 2 daughters > Mary Berry, born about 1718 > and > Sarah Berry, born about 1717, died 22 May 1777 > > Mary Berry married John Robey IV before 1734 in Charles Co. > (John Robey IV, b. 1714 in Charles Co., d. 1804 in Iredell Co., NC) > this couple had 9 children > > Sarah Berry married John Wynn, 24 Aug. 1738 > (John Wynn, b. 1720) > This couple had 15 children > > None of this gets you closer to Judge Berry, but the Berry name was > present in Charles Co.

Hey Ken, Someone a few years ago sent me some info on a Berry who lived in Virginia. He married a woman by the name of Baker and they moved to Charles Co.. Once years and years ago I asked my grandmother about the Charles County Berrys and she commented that they were no kin. I thought that funny, but perhaps the story of the one coming up from Va makes more sense now. Perhaps we will never know. Y'all spoke of Lord Calvert. I recall my great aunt, Margaurite Berry (Mrs. Benj. Tubman) remarking that we were kin to Lord Calvert. Now I forget what all she said or what branch of the family she meant. I am sure it was one of her Berry branches. I dearly wish I had've paid attention and asked more questions back when all those dear ol' souls were alive!
