Ira and Nancy Wynn Berry’s Children 1870 Census Page 2
Nancy Wynn Berry listed as head of Household in 1870 and she listed her youngest as 5 Years old. This would probably mean that Ira Berry was alive in 1864 but was not alive in 1870. This coincides with the Civil War years and Ira was probably killed in that War.
James Waggoner married Nancy E. Berry in Orange County, North Carolina on June 11th 1849. They left North Carolina with Nancy’s brother, Ira Berry in 1854 and went to Morganfield, Union County, Kentucky in 1854. See the 1860 census above in this page. In the 1870 census below James Waggoner did not list his wife Nancy E Berry Waggoner. He did list a baby Sally E. Waggoner who was one month old. The census was taken on June 25 1870 which means that nancy E Berry Waggoner probably died soon after childbirth sometime between May 25 and June 25 1870.
Sally E. Waggoner was named for her grandmother Sally Toler Berry who lived with her daughter and son-in-law, James and Nancy, after her husband, Lewis Berry, died in 1858 back in Orange County, North Carolina.
