Hi, Harold:
Glad to see your posting!!I am part of a research group focusing on the large extended BERRY family first documentable in Augusta Co, VA ca 1745, which includes William Berry/[1]Rebecca McCleary. I don't have a whole lot firm information on the children of William/Rebecca's son, James Berry/Rosana Coons, but I am happy to share with you all of our research on James' ancestors -- and perhaps together we can feret out some more info on the James Berry/Rosanne Coons children.
Our website which contains all of our research on the Augusta BERRYs can be found at url:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~berry/newupload/pages/report.htmhttp://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~berry/newupload/pages/report.htm
You are more than welcome to go to the website and use any of our research.The direct BERRY line you will be interested in is:
{A} James Berry (ca 1690 IR or Sct - ca 1756 Augusta Co, VA)
m. Elizabeth Unknown
{A.1} George Berry (? IR or Sct - 1803 Augusta Co, VA)
m. Agnes HALL
{A.1.a} William Berry (10 Oct 1755 Augusta Co, VA - d. 19 Dec 1838 St. Louis, MO)
m. [1] Rebecca McCleary (?d ca 1804 KY)

The direct url for William Berry is:

Along with other information, we have posted his Revolutionary War pension file, but I also recently obtained his Will and estate settlement papers from St. Louis -- which is not yet posted to our website, but I'd be happy to share it with you.
In the estate settlement, the children of James Berry/Rosanne Coons are identified as:
William Berry
Eliza Berry (m. James Stouse)
Catherine Berry (m. James Robb & John B. Smith)
Nancy Berry (m. Franklin Buchanan)
James M. Berry
George S. Berry
Alexander McNair Berry
Julia Ann Berry (m. William Winterton)
Rebecca J. Berry
Isabella Berry
Mary Ann Berry
I have not done any research on the children of James Berry/Rosane Coons, so all I do have is from this estate settlement.Do you have the birth dates you cited for these children from census listings?I'd love to see where you found them.
Here is one of the sections of William Berry's estate settlement which delineates the children of James Berry: “...say that is the best of their knowledge there are the following named heirs of William Berry deceased, now in being, to wit:and William Berry who is supposed to reside in Illinois; Eliza, wife of James Stouse, residing in ---?-- County, Catharine, wife of Jno. B. Smith, of Galens in Illinois, Nancy, wife of Franklin Buchannon, James, George, Alexander, Julia Ann, Rebecca, Isabella, Mary Ann children of James Berry deceased who was a son of William Berry deceased who reside in St. Louis County, Missouri ..”
Let me hear from you.I hope we can help each other.

PS:I should say that I am not a descendant of this William Berry, but am descended from one of the other earlier BERRYs and am trying to obtain as much information as possible on ALL of the early Augusta BERRYs and their descendants.
