Berry Questions/Washington Co., VA/
I'm a bit confused and need some help.
Thomas Berry Sr.'s (1718-1798) will was probated in Washington Co., VA on 20 Aug 1799. It it, he names his wife Esther (Esther Ward), his sons George, John, James, Thomas, William (and wife Mary), and Francis. Daughters Rebeckah, Esther, Mary, Barbara, Elizabeth, and Susannah. And grandson Thomas Dryden. By my records, this would make Thomas Sr. a son of James Berry and Elizabeth Davis, and husband of both Esther ward and Mary Buchanan. His daughter Barbara (noted above) was the wife of David Dryden Jr. (an executor of the will). I thought Barbara was from his marriage to Esther but I've seen a lot of materiel that indicates her parents were Thomas Berry and Mary Buchanan. Does anyone know which wife came first and which children went with which wife?
Secondly, the will of a John A. Berry was probated 14 Dec 1822. Will lists wife Anne, daughter Jane (wife of John G. Ustick), Sarah (wife of Mr. Fuller), and sons John, James, and William. Who was this John Berry and how does he fit in with the Thomas Berry noted above? The John Berry listed in the will of Thomas Berry Sr. was, by my records, married to Jane Temple so it should not be him.
Lastly, in keeping with the will theme, David Berry's will was probated in Washington County on 9 Feb 1836. Will lists wife as Sally, son Robert (the oldest son), daughter Sally (the oldest daughter), daughter Jane (m. Mr. Clark), daughter Susan (m. Mr. Hanson), and daughter Nancy K. (the youngest daughter). How does this David Berry fit in with the rest?
Any help would be much appreciated.
