I believe they came to Texas as well but have not been able to track them past my great grandmother Lydia Berry Clements Jackson. Her grand father was Col. William Berry who lived next door to George Washington in Virginia but moved to Alabama to live with his daughter Ellender Berry Clements. Lydia married J.W. Jackson and died in Arkansas before the family moved to Texas. So I lose trace of the family with her death. Are you related to these Berrys? Jody Dillard
