Using the English naming pattern the first son would be named after his Paternal grandfather the first daughter would be named after the Paternal grandmother. Robert Berry (OC) parents were Robert and Mary Williamson Berry (PAC)
Using the same naming pattern one would believe that Robert Berry’s (PAC) father might be Richard Berry because
they named their first son Richard Berry. Robert and Mary Williamson Berry only had two sons.
Robert Berry (OC) was just a baby when his father died in 1730.
