My Alabama Berrys were/are in Fayette Co. William Berry (1804-1881), a son of John Berry (1752-18??) and Martha Collier (c1780-c1797), was orphaned at an early age, at which time he and his siblings were parceled out to various persons in Jackson Co. GA. Sometime after his marriage to Sarah Nelson (1805-1883) in Jackson Co., he and his wife moved to Fayette Co. AL, where their children were born.
.
These children included John Nelson Berry (1823-1877, m Elizabeth
Moore), Nancy Berry (1825-1906, m George Washington Brazil), Henry B Berry (1829-1895, m Elizabeth Farquhar), Silvester Berry (1831-1852, m Sarah R Johnson), Elizabeth Berry (c1833-?, m ? Moore and then John Rainey), Robert L Berry (c1839-?, m Annie Hyder), William Berry (1842-1913, m Mariah G Culpepper), Sentha Berry (1844-1899, m Albert A Dobbs), Joshua Berry (1844-1862), Sarah J Berry (1948-1914, m J R Stephens), Wilburn T Berry (1850-1926, m Fannie Fullerton and then Dorothy E Fowler).
.
Some of these Berrys stayed in AL, others moved on to TX, OK and
elsewhere.
