Williamsons, Fosters, Berrys & Kemps#

I have been researching the Robert Berry family from Orange County since 1997. When I first started researching, I found that the Census forms from 1790 to 1840, only listed the head of household’s given and surnames. Sometimes they would be listed alphabetically, which was not totally useless but not very helpful either. When the families were listed in the order of farms and plantation physical location, the information became more valuable. I would search the census forms from the very early years and become familiar with as many of the surnames located near one of my known ancestors as possible. Soon I learned that a cluster of surnames in one county would often vary greatly from the surnames listed in the very next county. Since the population was small, clusters of surnames in a close proximity were often related to each other. As our ancestors relocated from one state to another, the pattern was repeated over and over. When I located a family surname who seemed to be a relative from a previous community, I started looking at the surnames of his neighbors. I always paid particular attention to these very close neighbors. This is a very important tool; since there were really not very many people in these early settlements, many of them migrated there together. Many of them were friends and a lot of them were relatives and children who had known each other their entire lives. They had grown up together and when the time came to relocate, they chose to go together.

Chapter 6#

Joshua Berry 1766–1838#

Joshua Berry was probably the fourth child of Robert and Elizabeth Cate Berry. He was named for his mother’s oldest brother, Joshua Cate. I think Joshua was born around 1766, and I know his wife, Nancy Ellison, was born in 1775 based on census information taken from the 1850 Orange County, North Carolina, census. Joshua Berry, with his family and most of his descendants, is one of the four brothers whose families remained in Orange County, North Carolina.

FREDERICK M. BERRY was born 28 February 1874 in Palo, Linn County, Iowa to Harrison and Henrietta (Havens) Berry. When Fred was four years old in 1878, his mother Henrietta died. According to the newspaper article in the Vinton Eagle: “Her husband was cutting a large tree down close to where they lived, when Henrietta attempted to go near where he was to tell him that she was going to a neighbors, having her babe in her arms and a little girl running along with her, when the tree fell, crushing her almost into a jelly, while remarkable as it may seem, the baby still lives, though probably fatally injured. The little girl too, narrowly escaped.” RosaBelle did survive, but Henrietta died instantly and baby Eliza died within three days.

James Berry was born in 1800 in Orange County, North Carolina. James Berry and Mary Parker were married in North Carolina about 1829. Their first three daughters were born in North Carolina. The oldest daughter, Nancy, was born in 1830. The youngest daughter, Delila, was born in North Carolina in 1836 and was 14 years old in the 1850 Smith County, Tennessee census. The oldest child born in Tennessee was, Martha, who was 11 years old in 1850. This means James and Mary were in North Carolina in 1836 and in Tennessee in 1839. I have no absolute proof that the James Berry on this page is related to us but all the facts indicate he was..
