Chapter 18#
Some Berry Family Stories#
In the August term of 1803 Orange County Court, William Cate’s inventory sale of personal property was recorded. The Berry family was well represented as purchasers of many items. Robert Berry Sr. and his wife, Elizabeth Cate Berry, both bought items. Their sons William, Thomas, Joshua, and Robert Berry Jr. are all listed on this document. It is very clear why Thomas and William Berry should be at this sale. William was married to Hannah Cate and Thomas was married to Sarah Cate. William Cate was their father. A very interesting purchase made that day was a pair of cotton cards that Thomas Berry bought. This was of interest because of what happened many years later. Thomas paid 2 schillings, 1 pence for the pair of cards.
Thomas and his brother William left their wives, the Cate sisters, in Orange County about 1808 and went to Tennessee searching for some land. Neither of them returned to stay in Orange County and when Robert Berry Sr. wrote his will on April 16th, 1812, Thomas Berry was deceased. William only inherited one pound in his father’s will. William Berry must have returned to Tennessee with Thomas Berry’s widow, Sarah Cate Berry, to claim the land that Thomas had staked out. Soon after Sarah Berry got to Tennessee, she married John Pigg.
About 170 years later, John Allen Berry inherited a pair of cards from his mother that belonged to his great-grandmother, Mary Pigg Berry, in Tennessee. Are these the same cards? It is certainly possible that they are the same pair of cards that Allen’s 4th great-grandfather, Thomas Berry, bought in Orange County, North Carolina, in August of 1803. There is no reason to believe that Sarah Cate Berry would not have taken these cards with her when she left for Tennessee. After all, the cards were bought by her deceased husband at her father’s estate sale. Cards would also be a prized procession because of their function. Mary Pigg Berry was Sarah Cate Berry’s great-granddaughter.
NOTE: Cotton cards are two flat thin boards with a lot of sharp spikes driven through them extending through the boards on the other side. These cards had round wooden handles attached to them. A person using the cards would hold a card in each hand by its handle and place raw cotton between them to comb the seeds out of the cotton fiber. This was necessary to prepare the cotton fiber for spinning into thread. After 1794 when Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, the demand for these cards would have been reduced to home use only. I am sure the family would pass these cards down from generation to generation. These cards were also used to prepare wool for spinning.
Covered Wagons and Boxcars#
From Texas to Colorado and Back#
In 1917, Alexander Howard Berry was 53 years old. Jobs were hard to find, so Alexander and some members of his family loaded up in covered wagons and headed to Colorado, where there were supposed to be some jobs. There were 10 adults and 9 children who made this trek from Texas to Pueblo, Colorado. Below is the story as written by a member of the A.H. Berry family:
“LEONA BERRY, daughter of Alexander Howard and Priscilla Gregory Berry, was born on November 19, 1894, in Indian Territory. Leona Berry married Ben Summers Jan 4, 1911. He died in the 1917 flu epidemic in Colorado. The family heard there was work in Colorado so the A.H. Berrys, their son Willie Howell Berry with son Alec, daughter Hettie and a second son, Willie Howell Berry Jr., born June 2,1917; the Ben Summers family with three children, Newborn, born 1913, J.C., born 1915, and Maggie born 1917; the Hal Johnsons and seven children, Myrtle, Edith, Lula, Matthew, Albert, Will, Etta, and Leola; and the C.L. Johnsons all loaded into covered wagons and went to Pueblo, Colorado. When they arrived at Pueblo, the Hal Johnson and Ben Summers families loaded their belongings into boxcars and continued on to Rifles, Colorado. A.H. Berry was not well and decided to continue on in the wagons. He was accompanied by the Willie Berry family. The C.L. Johnson family stayed in Pueblo. Rifle was across the mountains from Pueblo, and when A.H. and his group reached Salida, Colorado, the altitude was too high and he could not breathe. They backed the wheels of the wagons into the river to turn around as the road was too narrow, and returned to Pueblo. When they arrived, there was a message waiting for Willie from Hal Johnson asking them to wait as they were returning on the same train they had gone on. They had unloaded nothing but the horses. After they returned to Pueblo, the group found jobs and went to work. In a few months, A.H. became homesick and wanted to return to Texas. The A.H. Berrys and the Willie Berrys returned to Texas in August, 1918, but the Johnsons and Summers families did not return with them. Those who stayed in Colorado all came down with the influenza and Ben Summers died. So many people were dying that it was almost a week before he could be buried in Pueblo. A few months after Ben Summers death, Hal Johnson and his family and Leona (Onie) Berry Summers and her children loaded their livestock and belongings into a boxcar and rode the train back to O’Donnell. That was December, 1918. When they returned to Texas, they again settled in Borden County. Leona and her three children moved into the house with her parents. On November 27, 1920, Leona (Onie) Summers married Montgomery (Dick) Simpson in Tahoka, Texas.”
Hunting and Fishing#
My grandpa, Wiley P. Berry, was an avid hunter and fisherman. He also had a trap line that he walked every day. I can remember the boards hanging on the west side of his house with small animal skins stretched and turned inside out to cure in the sun. He would catch fox, mink, rabbits and beavers for their fur. This was in the 1930’s and people were buying furs for collars on garments and fur neck wraps, which were fashionable in those days. I can remember that Grandpa always had killed three or four turkeys by Thanksgiving each year. This was during the depression years and money was scarce, but Grandpa would always take a hunting trip to Eastern North Carolina each year after farming season was over and he had sold his tobacco crop. His favorite place to go was Lake Mattamuskeet in Hyde County, North Carolina. This lake was about 175 miles from where my grandparents lived in Orange County, North Carolina. The Canadian geese wintered there each year and many serious hunters would gather there in the fall to hunt them.
With this information as a background, I would like to share the story of my fishing trip to Lake Johnson in Raleigh. I was about 12 or 14 years old and Grandpa Berry came to stay a few days with us at our home in Raleigh, North Carolina. I know this was after an automobile had killed Grandma Berry in May of 1941. Grandpa never stayed with us for any length of time until after that fatal night. I was 11 years old when that accident occurred. Anyway, there was a good size lake about a half-mile east of where we lived. The lake was owned by, and supplied water for, the city of Raleigh. The Raleigh Parks and Recreation department had a boathouse on the north side of the lake. They would rent you a boat and charge a small fee to fish in the lake. Grandpa wanted to go fishing in Lake Johnson, so we rented a boat and paid the fees. We were using cane fishing poles to fish with. I knew very little about how to fish, but as beginners luck would have it, I was the one who started getting bites. Grandpa was telling me to keep the line tight and bring the fish up to the side of the boat where he could lift it out of the water. The fish that were biting were big mouth bass and each time I hooked one I would lose it, trying as hard as I could to do what Grandpa was saying. You can imagine how frustrating this was to my Grandpa and to make matters even worse, he wasn’t getting any bites. Needless to say, after about an hour of this, Grandpa rowed us back to the boathouse and my fishing trip with Grandpa Berry was over. This is, and has been, one of my favorite memories of my young life. Grandpa never took me fishing again but that may very well be because he moved in with his oldest son and never spent very long visits with us again. I would really like to think that was the reason.
Making Butter & Memories#
I was about eight years old when Grandma Berry asked me if I wanted to churn some butter. I had never done this before, so I was excited about doing something new. Grandma had a container of milk that had clabbered. This is the natural process where milk is allowed to sour and becomes very thick and rich. The churn was a wooden one with a wooden dasher that could be moved up and down. The clabbered milk was poured into the churn and the dasher was placed in the churn. Grandma then placed a lid on top of the churn. The dasher had a handle like a broom stick that came through the hole in the lid and extended about a foot above it. I was told to move the dasher up and down slowly and continually. This went on for about 30 minutes, and when Grandma came back out on the porch beside the kitchen where I was doing my thing, she looked into the churn and saw a lot of little yellow clumps of butter floating around on top of the buttermilk. She told me to keep churning a little longer and when she looked in the next time, we had much larger chunks of beautiful yellow butter ready to be removed from the buttermilk. Grandma placed the butter in a bowl and let it drain for a while. She poured the buttermilk into a container with a rope tied to the handle and lowered it into the well to keep it cool. She then squeezed the rest of the milk out of the butter with her hands and placed the butter in a butter mold. The butter mold also had a hole in the bottom and a round plunger attached to a push rod. She placed the plunger into the mold and filled the mold with fresh butter. She packed it down very hard so it could take the shape of the carving inside the wooden mold. The next step was when she placed the mold upside down in a plate and pushed the butter out of the mold. The result was a beautiful sculptured yellow cake of butter just ready for the hot biscuits Grandma was cooking in her woodstove.
My uncle Wiley Harold Berry once told me that some of our family went to Texas. Little did he know just how many of our distant relatives would eventually be located there? He was the only member of my family that ever made a statement declaring this fact. I’m sure this information was passed down from his grandfather, John Robert Berry, Orange County, North Carolina. The reason for this is that John Robert Berry was 16 years old when Elizabeth Berry Franklin returned to Orange County, after her mother, Hannah Cate Berry, died in 1858. Elizabeth was staying at her half-brother’s house, Thomas Person Berry, when the 1860 Orange County census was taken. After the war was over and Elizabeth Berry Franklin was able to rejoin her children, they were living in Texas.
Chopping in the Moonlight#
My mother told me that her grandfather, John Robert Berry, had an argument with his wife, Elizabeth Bowling Berry, after they retired for the night. Mother did not tell me what the disagreement was about. Apparently John Robert and his wife did not resolve the issue, because he got up out of the bed, put on his clothes, and went outside. It was a clear moonlight night, so he picked up his ax and proceeded to chop down trees in a tract of land he was clearing. He continued chopping down trees all night long until the sun came up the next morning. I suppose he ate a good breakfast and then went back to bed. I have no idea who ran the store the next day. I do remember mother saying that he had an employee who helped him in the store. Most likely the employee did most of the work in the store that day.
Three Lightning Strikes and You’re Out#
I know you have always heard that lightning never strikes the same place twice. This old wives tale has been disproven by lightning strikes on my Grandfather’s farm. Grandpa Wiley P. Berry was a tobacco farmer and because he was, he built a tobacco barn about three hundred feet from his house. Sometime after he built it, lightning struck the barn and burned it to the ground. Grandpa built the replacement barn using the old stone foundation, flues, and chimney of his original barn. Some more years passed by and his new barn was struck by lightning and also burned to the ground. I know that my grandfather built another barn about the same distance from the house but I don’t know if it was on the same spot as the first two. It was a wood fired barn that had to be constantly monitored to maintain the proper temperature to cure the tobacco to a golden leaf that would sell for the highest price on the tobacco market. In order to do this, the farmer has to check the thermometer hanging inside the barn about every hour.
There was a flue that ran the length of the barn, across the back of the barn and back to the front of the barn, with a chimney that was located in the center of the flue at the back of the barn. The flues were built of rock and were shaped like an upside down U which provided an upside down U shaped opening on each side and at the front of the barn. Once the fire was started in both flue openings, long logs could be fed into the fire a little at the time, which allowed the farmer a way to control the temperature inside the barn by how fast the logs were burning. As the fire burned down, the farmer would push the logs a little further into each flue opening at the front of the barn. This was usually done each time the farmer checked the temperature inside the barn. This process continued for a couple days with each curing.
My grandfather built a shed in front of his barn that was about 8 deep and across the width of the front of the barn. The roof of this shed extended from the barn and was far enough away from the front of the barn that a wagon could enter between the barn and the shed. The shed was floored and enclosed on three sides with the open side facing the front of the barn. As a little boy of about seven, I spent the night with my grandfather, sleeping on some quilts as he attended the tobacco he was curing. You could feel the heat from the two fires that were burning in each flue opening. This was the only night in my life that I spent curing tobacco but I am so very glad I experienced that one.
Mother told me that they would roast corn in the shuck on coals that were raked from the fire at the tobacco barn when she was a little girl.
Grandpa sold his home and farm after my Grandmother was tragically hit and killed by an automobile on May 4th, 1941. Grandpa never farmed again. The family who bought my grandparent’s home and farm lived there for about 62 years. One summer day all of the household members who were living in Grandpa’s old homeplace were away from home and a thunderstorm came up. You guessed it; but this time lightning did not strike a tobacco barn. On August 17th, 2005, lightning struck the W. P. Berry homeplace and burned it to the ground. My mother relayed the story to me about the two tobacco barns, but she did not live to see the third lightning strike because she died on March 19th, 2002.
Grandpa built this home with timber cut from the land his father gave him shortly before Grandpa married my Grandmother on June 2nd, 1895. Pictures of the W. P. Berry homeplace can be viewed on page 270. Nothing has been built where the old homeplace stood for so many years. With the lightning history, I am not sure that a building should ever be built on that beautiful knoll again, which is very sad to me. (See Pictures of homeplace on Page 270)
Who Were the Pioneers?#
Before I became interested in genealogy, I can remember wondering: Who were these daring souls who settled the American wilderness? How did they have the nerve to face wild animals, hostile Indians, no doctors, no medicine, and environmental hardships? What would their lives have been like? How were they able to survive the punishment on the trails as they migrated by the thousands in wagon trains? I now know that many of them didn’t. Why would anyone attempt this? The answer is clear. They were all seeking a better life for themselves and their families.
The Pioneers worked very hard and faced many uncertainties, but their efforts were often rewarded. The opportunity to have a life where they were able to contribute to their own fortune was wonderful, a life where natural resources were abundant and readily available. Many of them lost their loved ones and even their own lives as they traveled across the country. They traveled much more than I would have believed.
As I have learned, Orange County was like a hub in the explorations of our new country. Orange County was centrally located on an old Indian trail that was used by pioneers coming from the early settlements all along the east coast of early America.
This is an area where both sides of my maternal family pioneered. Both Samuel Wilson and Robert Berry Sr. were in Orange County in the 1700’s. Our Robert Berry was in the Orange County area in 1751, while it was still part of Granville County. By the early 1800’s, many of the second and third generation Americans began their migration from this very county. A very large number of them were my relatives and friends of our Berry family.
I figured that a few of my family might have been here as pioneers, but I literally had no idea there were so many of them and that they arrived in America at the very beginning. It never occurred to me that my family were some of the very first to explore and establish so many of the frontiers of America. Our family is a cross section of America that built the plantations, ranches, schools, churches, institutions, served in the wars, dug our coal, built our stores, and factories. They were our folks and we have every right to be very proud of them.

Surnames and Locations#
The similar names appearing in the table above show how groups of families migrated from England and across the colonies and states in America. The fact that so many families with the same surnames are living so close to our Berry family, in so many locations, tends to indicate that they traveled together and knew each other over long periods of time.
This is an alphabetical list of 24 states where we live today.
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
Orange County Map of County Formations#
This is a map showing the original size and the breakup of Orange County that ended in 1881 with the creation of Durham County. The Western part of Orange County was used to create parts of Randolph, Guilford, and Rockingham Counties in 1770. Caswell County was formed from Orange in 1771. Also parts of Wake and Lee Counties were split from Orange County in 1770. Alamance County was formed in 1849. Person County was created in 1791 by splitting Caswell County in half.

Identifying Some Smith and Cate Family Connections#
John Kemp from Princess Anne County, Virginia, named his sister Elizabeth Kempe and his brother-in-law Will Smith in his 1753 will.
Conrad Messer Smith named a daughter, Elizabeth Bates, in his will. It is my belief that this was a spelling error. Elizabeth Bates was really Elizabeth Cates. As far as I know, there was not a Bates family living in the Orange or Person County area. There is definitely no Bates listed in the Orange County Grooms list.
On the 13th of June, 1777, George Smith of Caswell County sold to John Cate 76 acres of land for 105 pounds, lying on the Flat River, land that joins John Cate’s own property. Witnesses: Elizabeth C. Berry, Robert Smith, John Cate Sr. (Deed Bk A, Pg 43)
From Nellie J. Berry’s book “JAMES E. & ESSIE DAVIS BERRY Ancestors, Descendants & Kinfolks” on page 2, I find that “Robert Smith purchases land at tax sale on Big Harpeth, joining the Berry pre-exemption Tract” in Tennessee in 1802.
William Cate died intestate around 1893 and his 200 acre plantation in Orange County, North Carolina, was inherited by his wife, Elizabeth Smith Cate, and their 5 children, Benjamin Cate, John Cate, Hannah Cate, Sarah Cate, and Charity Cate. When their mother died, each of the children owned 20% of William Cate’s property.
Sarah Cate Berry Pigg sold her 20% ownership in her father’s plantation in Orange County, North Carolina, to her brother, John W. Cate, in Maury County, Tennessee, on January 1, 1828. Stephen Smith was a witness to this deed.
Hannah Cate Berry and John Cate deeded their 40% of this property to Thomas Wilson in Orange County, North Carolina, on November 19th, 1825. (Deed Bk. 22, pg.007)
This information seems to validate that William Cate’s wife, Elizabeth Smith, was the daughter of Conrad Messer Smith. My guess is that the Messer Smith family changed their names to Smith.

Was George Berry named for George Waggoner? (Mary Berry’s first husband)

Peter Aldridge married Judith Waggoner on February 4th, 1786.
Robert Berry Jr. was their bondsman.
William Aldridge was living in Prince George County, Virginia, in 1704.

Robert and Elizabeth Cate Berry OC chose the name Mary Berry for the name of their first child. She was born about 1758 in Orange County, North Carolina, at Fiddleton.
Mary Kempe Williamson from Princess Anne County, Virginia, was Robert Berry’s PAC maternal grandmother.
Mary Williamson Berry would be Robert Berry’s OC mother.

John Berry was in Texas and George Berry was probably killed about 1837. Susan Aldridge Berry and her youngest son, James Berry, also listed in the 1850 Fayette County, Alabama, Census.
NOTE: Cookie Paulson information on George Berry’s death:
“I still believe the death record I have is for my George Berry - it says discharge by death on 28 Aug 1837. I know that he was still listed on the census for Fayette County, AL in 1840 but I think that was an error. His widow may not have gotten notice of his death before the census. Or maybe it was a neighbor who said that he still lived there. The probate record for George Berry shows up in Fayette County Co, AL on Sept 1851.”
Several of Robert Berry Junior’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren migrated to Texas in the 1850’s as Texas was being settled. They are known to be in Lampasas and Rusk County, Texas. The families are Berrys, Howells, Farquhars, Trawicks, and Kizziahs, to name a few. There were probably two routes from Fayette County, Alabama, to Texas. One was through the state of Mississippi and across the Mississippi River to Texas; the second route was down to Mobile, Alabama, and into Galveston, Texas, by boat.
