Karen, thanks...prob fr Jack Pope's book eh? He was a desc from Betsy Smeathers and John Berry thru their son, Andrew Jackson Berry. Big controversy STILL over OUR John Berry's parents. But the dates listed below are for OUR John Berry..those dates of birth/death are documentated in Tx. thats why I just said what I did in the message, as no one can really prove who his parents were.

Wm, Enoch, Elizabeth also had a brother name John Berry. >I am not sure if its our John Berry that marr Betsy Smeathers or not. >I am not sure who the parents of these kids are. Nena, I have a book on John Berry that lists some families........In this part of the book it says they there is still a question as to the parents of the Texas John Berry, who married Betsy Smothers. Below is a list of kids that match your description above, although we still do not know if it is the same John Berry. Karen Parents: James Berry (b. ca 1747, d. 1782) m. Christina Wilson Children: Elizabeth Mary Ann (Polly) John b. 1786, d. 1866 Enoch Clarissa William (Billy) Sarah (Sally) Susannah (Sukey) _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
