Added info on John Berry/ wife Hannah
The 75 acres that John Berry patented near Arcadia Va in 1771
was actually opposite Rocky Point ,and if a person googlesSolitude farm you will get a bit more info,esp that when older Pres Thos. Jefferson used the ferry at Rocky Point and crossed what used to be John Berry's farm and mentioned his trips somewhere. By that time the Skidmores owned the land.
The 75 acres that John Berry patented was surveyed for John Jones in 1765.
So far I have not found that John Jones owned any land, other than his 75 acre survey.
