Chapter 1#

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.

Died: c. 1862, Rusk County, Texas
Married: Mary Howell (married c. 1838, Fayette County, Alabama)
Parents: George Berry and Susanna Aldridge Berry

John Berry was born in Orange or Person County, North Carolina in 1815. We are positive that he is a descendant of Robert and Elizabeth Cate Berry because one of his descendant’s Y-DNA matches the Y-DNA of 13 other known Orange County Berrys. He was first discovered living in Rusk County Texas in the 1860 census but later we found him living in Fayette County, Alabama in 1840. John met and married his wife, Mary Howell in Fayette County, Alabama. They had four children born in Alabama, two daughters and two sons. We have a lot of information on the oldest daughter Sarah Berry but have not located the second daughter. The rest of their children were born in Texas. We have never found an 1850 Census for John and Mary Howell Berry.

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.

David J. Berry 1774 to 1838#

David J. Berry was the eighth child and the sixth son born to Robert and Elizabeth Cate Berry. The Regulator Movement had already been quieted by the brutal and unfair actions of Governor Tryon three years before David was born. David was in his formative years while the Revolutionary War was being waged. David was about 6 years old when his father, Robert Berry, his oldest brother, Robert Berry Jr., and brother-in-law, George Waggoner, joined the North Carolina Continental Army. George Waggoner, who married David’s older sister Mary Berry, was apparently mortally wounded in the battle at Guilford Court House. It is very hard to imagine how bad conditions were, what the family had to endure, or the effect it may have had on David as he was growing up.

William Berry 1775 to 1860#

William Berry was next to the last child born to Robert and Elizabeth Cate Berry. William was about 6 years old when Robert Berry OC enlisted in the North Carolina Continental Army in 1781. Shortly after the battle of Guilford Courthouse, the war and its fighting soon moved from the State of North Carolina to Virginia and ended at Yorktown on October 9, 1781. Robert Berry OC was definitely back home in November, 1781, because he appeared in court with his daughter Mary Berry Waggoner concerning George Waggoner’s will.

Chapter 12#

Henry Berry 1776–1858#

Henry Berry was the youngest child of Robert and Elizabeth Cate Berry from Orange County, North Carolina. Robert and Elizabeth had been married about 17 or 18 years when Henry Berry was born in 1776. Robert Berry was about 46 years old and his wife, Elizabeth, was probably about 41 years old. Their family now consisted of 10 children—two daughters and eight sons. They had been living in the new Fiddleton Plantation home for 10 years when Henry was born. Henry’s oldest sister, Mary, was about 17 or 18 years old and was already married or about to marry George Waggoner, son of Henry and Katriana Waggoner. This was the year of the Declaration of Independence and the beginning of much turmoil in the nation. Most of the fighting with the English had been done far away from Fiddleton but a lot of the political action was now taking place about 14 miles away. Two of the signers of the Declaration of Independence lived in Hillsborough, North Carolina, and much of the involvement by North Carolina was being directed and decided in Hillsborough, N.C.

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..

Parents: Alexander Howard Berry and Josephine Priscilla Gregory Berry

Leona 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, the Willie Berrys with son Alec, daughter Hettie and a second son, Willie Howell 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, WillEtta, 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 Rifle, 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 did so at that time, 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.

MARY BERRY who was Elizabeth Berry’s only child and whose father was William Riley was born in Orange County, North Carolina. Mary and her mother lived with Mary’s grandparents Robert and Elizabeth Cate Berry. Elizabeth and Mary were listed on the 1800 Orange County census of Robert Berry Snr. Mary Berry married Thomas Berry on the 7th of March 1809. Her uncle Henry Berry was the bondsman on that wedding bond. I have been unable to identify Thomas Berry’s Parents. I do know that Thomas and Mary moved into Person County and were listed there when the 1810 Census was taken. They also listed one slave in 1810. Elizabeth Berry, Mary’s mother must have moved in with Thomas and Mary sometime after 1810 because in 1815 Elizabeth Berry’s will was probated in Person County.

Parents: William Clarence Berry and Sally Bowles Berry, Orange County, NC

Roseann Frances Berry is the daughter of William Clarence and Sally Bowles Berry#

Roseann Frances Berry was born in 1833 in Orange County North Carolina. She is the daughter of William Clarence Berry and Sally Bowles Berry. Sally Bowles Berry died when Roann was born or shortly afterwards. William Clarence Berry and his brother, Thomas Person Berry, sold their jointly owned property on September 19th 1833. It is my belief that William, Thomas and their other brother, Robert C. Berry, had decided to go to Fayette County Alabama where their Uncle Robert Berry Jr and his family settled in 1824. Their half sister, Elizabeth Berry Franklin and her husband Theodrick Franklin decided to go to Alabama with Elizabeth’s three brothers. When the trip to Alabama occurred in 1834 all of the children were very young. Roann was a year old, George Rufus was 5, and Elizabeth Jane was 3. Theodric and Elizabeth Franklin’s daughter, Temperance Jane Franklin, was 2. I am not certain if Thomas Person Berry and his new wife Sarah Lunsford Berry went with this wagon train. The thing that makes me think this may have happened is the long period of time when Thomas and Sarah were married and when their first child was born. Thomas and Sarah were married 28th of September 1831 and their first son was born 5 years later in 1836. Theodrick and Elizabeth Franklin had a son, Henry Berry Franklin, born in Alabama in 1835. Hannah Cate Berry may also have gone to Alabama with her children and grandchildren. If this is what happened then Thomas Person Berry, his wife, Sarah Lunsford Berry, and his mother, Hannah Cate Berry, returned to North Carolina before 1836.

The Story of Sally Malena Berry Henderson#

Sally Malena Berry was born July 20, 1908. She was known as Malena to all of her family. The picture on the left is of Harold, Malena, and Woodrow Berry. Harold Berry is on Malena’s left and this picture must have been taken about 1915/1916 because Woodrow was born on April 3rd 1912 and Harold was born on March 9th 1914. Malena attended grade School at Meredith Grade School which was located very close to her home. Later she went to Caldwell school.

Parents: John Berry and Mary Howell Berry

She was born on April 20, 1839 in Alabama and died in

Galveston Texas on June 5th 1917. We were able to find Sarah Berry Dippold’s grave in 2006 while I was staying in Houston for medical reasons. The grave is located in the Trinity Episcopal Church Cemetery which is located in Galveston Texas. She is buried in Block # 100 plot 18 of that Cemetery. I was unable to locate her husband but he may still be buried there. This Cemetery has been raised several times, as it keeps sinking they haul in more dirt. Each family is responsible to see that their relatives headstones are

raised to the new level. If the family does not assume that responsibility the grave is covered with dirt and is no longer visible. The sinking of the Island is caused by removal of oil from the surface below. Sarah was married five times. This was during the period of the civil war and may be the reason so many of them died. She married her first husband Hiram Howard on November 24th 1853.

Sarah married her second husband, Francis M. McClure on January 5th 1859. On May 18th 1863 Sarah married her third husband Robert A. Taylor. Sarah married her fourth husband, Henry B. Stoneham on August 29 1868. She married her fifth husband Henrick Dippold on February 15th 1880.
