MY LINE TO ROBERT BERRY THROUGH WILLIAMWILLIAM BERRY MARRIED HANNAH CATE ON AUGUST 12, 1799
William and Hannah listed one son in the 1800 Orange County Census.
As of 2/24/2005 I do not know the name of this son.
If William and Hannah used the conventional naming pattern to
choose their first son's name it would have been Robert after the father's father.
In the period of time between 1799 and 1807 I have found no
evidence of
any children being born. It may mean that when William left he took some
children with him. This may also account for the extra unidentified male
listed in the Hannah Berry's 1810 census. Thomas Person Berry was born in
1807. Thomas Person Berry identified his father and mother on a marriage
license that was filed in August 1871, when he married his second wife.
Hannah and William must have separated
shortly
after Thomas P. was born.
Hannah listed head of household in 1810. She listed four males and three females
in that census. There were two adult females and the rest were children under 10
years old. Speculation has it that Hannah and Sarah (her sister) were living together
with their young children. Sarah had a son and a daughter, Hannah had two sons.
This leaves one male listed that was unaccounted for.
More about Sarah Cate Berry will be found on the Thomas Berry
Family Page
and on the search for two John's Page.
No record of what happened to
William
has been found to date with
two exceptions. Thomas Berry and William Berry bought some land
from uncle Henry in 1830 for $500. I do not know if William was Thomas
Berry's father or cousin. Three years later they sold the same land to
Samuel Wilson for $450. Times had apparently taken a turn for the
Worse in the mid 1830's. Another Interesting fact about this transaction.
Sixty Two years later Samuel Wilson's gg granddaughter Ida Ann Wilson
married Thomas Person Berry's grandson Wiley P. Berry Sr.

In 1812 Hannah had another child, this time by John Berry according
to a Bible page record. Elizabeth Berry was born in Orange County N.C. in 1812.
We do not know if this John is the son of Robert Berry or a different John Berry.
We know that when Elizabeth Berry married Theodoric Franklin
in 1832
Thomas Person Berry signed the marriage bond. We also know in 1860
Elizabeth Franklin was listed in Thomas Person Berry's household. We also
know that Theodoric died (Age 46) in 1858. This is the same year that
Hannah Berry (age 88) died. There was a worldwide flu epidemic in 1858.
Two other members of the Orange County Berry's died that year. One was
a grandson of Hannah, William H. Berry (Age 22) who was the son of
Thomas Person Berry. The other was a son of Joshua Berry,
Lewis Berry (Age 53).
Hannah was living with Henry Berry as listed in the 1850 Orange County
Census. In 1855 when Henry died he left some household items and farm stock
to Hannah but left the house he was living in to Thomas and his wife Mary
(Polly) Ashely King. There was no mention of Hannah being his wife or
of any children. I think Hannah had lived with Henry since Henry inherited
the Robert Berry plantation in 1816. This Plantation was named Fiddleton,
the name of the plantation was found in some records after Thomas Person
Berry had died.
