Norma, I agree that this Ann Cawood (if the info is accurate) is not Anne Cawood, b. about 1702, who was the daughter of Stephen Cawood, Jr., and Mary Cox. The Ann Cawood I have as wife to Samuel Berry was born about 1675. I have no parents' names for either her or Samuel Berry. My source for the information is the "Robey/Robie/Roby Family Association, Inc. Semi Annual Newsletter," Vol. 3 Issue 2 Mid May, 1999 The connections are that Mary Berry married John Robey IV (son of John Robey III and Sarah Smallwood). AND Sarah Berry's 2nd husband was Jacob Robey Included in that Newsletter article was this note, "Dr. Berry's daughter was in fact named Mary as proven in the Certificate of survey for Samuel Robey on lot #10 of Zachaiah manor, dated 31 Aug 1741. William Hanson, Deputy Surveyor of Charles County, included the following note on the certificate, "Lives to be put in the lease are said Samuel Robey and wife Sarah and Berry Robey, son of John and Mary Robey." This proves Berry Roby's parents and his birth before 31 Aug 1741." (Charles Co., MD Unpatented Certificate #519 at the Maryland Hall of Records in Annapolis) So, it seems that the Samuel Berry mentioned above was a doctor. So, David, I would expect you can probably find some other records of this Dr. Samuel Berry. Good luck.

Norma and Ken, I find it interesting that right under the will of John Wedding, Sr of Charles Co., in the Calendar of Wills book, p 200 is the will of Humphrey Berry of Charles Co., and it caught my eye because Humphrey happens to have tracts called Mt. Parradise & Hull. The same tracts that are owned by Stephen Cawood, Jr. that was married to Mary Cox. And this Humphrey Berry has a son named Samuel. Ken why couldn't Ann that married Samuel Berry be the d/o Stephen Cawood, Sr and wife Ann?
