Message Board Post:
My Berry ancestors in Union County Indiana were David and Susannah (Dawson) Berry who came
from NJ. David was in Whitewater MM by Sept. 1813, and it looks as though the family
members were rec in mbrp in Nov 1816. They were later in Silver Creek-Salem MM in Union
County.
They had daughters Elizabeth, Hannah and Eunice, and sons David, Samuel and Thomas.
Thomas is my line.
I believe the birth date and birth place shown for Thomas Berry in several entries of
Search Family Trees is in error. His birth date year is given as 1816 and his birth place
as Indiana. The census records give his birth place as New Jersey, which I believe is
correct. My maternal grandmother was born 1858 in IN, the granddaughter of Thomas and
Phoebe Cook Berry. My grandmother left written records naming her parents and
grandparents and giving their birth dates. She gives the birth date for Thomas Berry as
"Feb 18th 1810". Having known my grandmother I trust her information.
Who were your Berry ancestors in Union County?
