We know four

1 male 10 to 16
1 male 26 to 45

These two
Census enumerations of Joshua and Robert Berry Jr.
leads me to believe that Robert Berry Jr. was the oldest son of Robert
Berry Sr. I think Joshua was the second son from his name (naming
patterns)and the enumeration of the 1800 Orange County Census.
We know that
there were six Berry. families to list in the 1810 Orange
County Census.
Robert Berry
(no Sr. denoted in this listing indicating that Robert
Berry Jr had died or removed from the County)
2 males 26 to
45 (Henry and Issac)
1 male 45 and
up Robert Berry Sr.
1 female 45
and up Elizabeth Cates Berry wife of Robert Berry Sr.
There was no
Robert Berry Sr. denoted in the 1810 Census which probably
means that Robert Berry Jr. had removed for Orange County
North Carolina
. We know that Robert Berry Jr was still alive in 1812
when Robert Berry Sr. wrote his will.
1810 census
B Berry
(could be the son of Robert Berry Jr.)
2 males under
10
1 male 26 to 45
2 females
under 10
1 female 26 to
45
The other
Berry families in the 1810 Orange County Census were:
Hannah
Berry (Grass widow of William Berry),
J Berry,
David
Berry
Roda Berry****** widow of John Berry and mother of John Berry the
Architect
In the 1820
Orange County Census There were five Berry families
listed
Henry Berry
(Robert Sr Died in 1814)
Robert Berry
whose oldest male was 25 to 45 (not Robert Berry Jr.)
Joshua Berry
David Berry
Roda Berry
******widow of John Berry and mother of John Berry the Architect
In summery
Robert Berry Jr disappeared from Orange County by 1810 but was not dead
in 1812
he was not listed as deceased in his fathers will.
In 1850 when
the enumeration stated children's names and ages. I found
only one Berry family that was not related to
Joshua or
William Berry.
This family
was John Berry the Architect
I have never
found a marriage bond on Robert Berry Jr. and I simply do
not know where his family is. He could be in Person County
but I have
made a feeble search there and have not found him.
This is one
area that I need to research further
