Edgar, This appears to be the family of Benjamin (Jr.) and Mary Ann DeBerry who were enumerated in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census of Hardin Co., living in the 3rd Civil District. In addition to those listed below, there appears to be one other child, Dicy, m, b. 1858.. In 1850 Benjamin was listed as head of household, age 24 TN, living with his mother Disha, 64 NC, and perhaps a sister Peniuat H. Deberry, 19 TN. Benjamin's father was also named Benjamin Deberry and was shown in the 1840 census of Hardin Co. TN as follows: Benjamin DeBerry 00012001-00100001 6th C. D. Benjamin (Sr) died before 2 June 1845 when Henry D. DeBerry was appointed administrator of Benjamin's estate. Commissioners were appointed to lay off a dower for Disha DeBerry, the widow of Benjamin DeBerry, the same date. There is one other DeBerry family enumerated in the 1850 census of Hardin Co. TN: 101-101 Lemuel W. DeBerry 32 AL 4th Civil District Elizabeth 27 TN Henry 5 TN Mary 3 TN Benjamin 2 TN It might be considered that Lemuel W., Henry D., Benjamin, and Peniuat H. Deberry were probably the children of Benjamin (Sr.) and Disha Deberry. Disha DeBerry, the oldest child shown on your list below, married Dr. Willie J. Reynolds, the son of Redden Washington and Sarah Isabella McCain. After Sarah died, Redden married Nancy Kiser. These are my g/g/grandparents. David ________________________________ Edgar D.
