ISAAC BERRY PAGE
Isaac Berry was
described in his fathers will as being retarded.
The portion of his fathers will that describes Issac condition reads as followers:
I will and bequeath to my son Isaac Berry one negroe woman named Lydia also one horse to the value of
30 dollars and two cows and calves. This my son Issack Berrys legesey to be left in the care of my son
Henry Berry so as for the aforesaid Issac to the benifit of if but so that he can sell or dispose of it without
Henry's approbation also this my son Issac Berry legesey at his death to be devided among my heirs equally
provided he has no heirs born after this will is wrote also this my son Issack Berry legesey to be given to
him for his own disposal provided if he comes to proper reason., if he does not come to right reason to
be kept as above mentioned.
I will and bequeath to my son Henry two negroes named Young Jack and Nicy and two cows and calfs
also my possesions of land at his mothers death provided he gives to my son Issack Berry one hundred dollars
fifty to be paid one year after his mother's death and the other fifty two years after his mother's death
It seems to me That Robert Berry was a very kind and considerate man from reading this portion of his will.
He made it perfectly clear that he wanted Isaac Berry's needs to be taken care of. I am impressed with his apparent
love and concern for a son that apparently could not take of himself. I think this speaks well of Robert Berry's
character.
