September 23, 2008
MARY BERRY who was Elizabeth Berry's only child and who's father was William Riley was born in Orange County North Carolina.Mary and her mother lived with her grandparents Robert and Elizabeth Cate Berry. Elizabeth and Mary were listed on the 1800 Orange County census of Robert Berry Snr.
Mary Berry married Thomas Berry on the 7th of March 1809. Her uncle Henry Berry was the bondsman on that wedding bond. I have been unable to identify Thomas Berry's Parents.
I do know that Thomas amd Mary moved into Person County and was listed there in the 1810 Census. They also listed one slave in 1810.
I know that Elizabeth Berry, Mary's mother moved in with Thomas and Mary sometime after 1810 because in 1815 Elizabeth Berry's will was probated in Person County.
Elizabeth Berry was listed on page 185 in the Person County Index of Estate Records
Person County Record Book 7, Page 185
I also know that Thomas amd Mary had one son named Josiah Berry, but I do not know where he was born.
Person County Record Book in 1862
There was a letter sent back to North Carolina from Auburn Alabama concerning an Orphan named Preston Berry. See the details in the letter listed here.
