HI:
I'm researching my ancestors MOSES BERRY and his wife MARIAH PRYOR.
JOANNA (CLIFT) BERRY, widow of THOMAS BERRY of MASON COUNTY, KENTUCKY,
emancipated Mariah's father SEYMOUR PRYOR in 1838.
I have read that Joanna's family came to KY from VA. Her brother NEWTON CLIFT
of Mason Co., was also a slave owner.
I would like to know whether Joanna owned any of these slaves: Moses, Mariah,
JUDAH and Mariah's mother PARMITIA.
Thanks,
Kberry

As you say, the second Samuel sounds very likely to be the one I'm looking for and I would be very, very grateful for any and all details. The Charles' continued down in to the 20th century so I'm sure this is the right line.
You can reach me direct at kmarsh(a)iol.ie
thank you

Hi Kathryn,
If your Samuel originated in Hampshire then he is almost certainly related to someone in my family though unfortunately not on my direct line. I’ve checked through my data base and have found two Samuels who could be the one your looking for. They are:
Samuel b. Bramley 13 March 1789, son of Daniel Clift and Elizabeth Hester Wyburd
Samuel b. Stratfield Turgis 21 July 1791, son of Charles Clift and Ann Goodchild.
Given that he called his first-born son Charles I think it is most likely that he is the second Samuel rather than the first.
If you think that either is the Samuel you are looking for then they are certainly related to my tree and I can give you all the details I have which go back (speculatively) to 1538.

I know its years after your post but I've recently found that my own Clift family, who I thought came from Lincolnshire or Cambridgeshire, actually moved there from Hartley Westpall, Hants via India. Which I suspect makes them probably related to the Bramley Clifts though I haven't found the connection.
The earliest proved I have is Samuel Clift who married Jennett(a) Lavington/Levington in Hartley Westpall. They had two children that I know of - Charles, born in 1833 and Jane, born in 1835. Jenetta was married several times and I haven't managed to disentangle her full history - don't know whether Lavington is her birth name or the name of the husband before Samuel - last husband was James Debenham but she also has a son call James Hughes in one census.
