Family of Hezekiah Berry late 1700s early 1800s
Hello,
I am looking for the family and children of Hezekiah Berry of Charles County, Md.. He acquired some land called "Friendship" in 1798. That same land was handed down on my Berry side of the family, my grandmother owning it at the time of her death in 1994. She supposedly bought it from her parents, Thadeus Clifford Berry and Anne Gilmore Montgomery. Thadeus being the youngest child of Judge Thomas Baker Berry.
Now Thomas Baker Berry was born in 1806 and during his adult life he lived there, the community there called "Troy" in his day and "Berry", Md later. The obit of the above mentioned Anne Gilmore Montgomery says that all their 7 kids were born there and referred it as the ancestral estate. I have never been able to find out, for sure, who the parents or line of Thomas Baker Berry were. But if this Hezekiah Berry acquired the piece of land in 1798 and Thom. B. Berry was born in 1806 and lived on that land as a grown man or right in the immediate vicinity then it is a good chance the two were related.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
David Middleton Edelen II
