Surnames: Berry, Parker Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CkB.2ACI/1945 Message Board Post: Thomas Leander Berry was reportedly born in Tennessee in ablut 1828. He joined the Confederate forces in Bell County, Texas. He was in Company D, 18th Texas Cavalry. According to available information, he was captured in Arkansas and taken to the Union prison camp at Camp Douglas, Illinois, where he died in 1863. His widow and daughter married into the Parker family. There were a number of other Berry families in Bell County in the 1870 census. Is there anyone out there who can tell me if there was a relationship between Thomas Leander Berry and the other Berry families? Can anyone tell me what happened to his widow, Elenor Berry Parker? I find her on the 1870 census, but lose track of her from there. Regards, Zen
