"Elisha died between Aug and Oct 1839 (Will)
Probate: His will was dated 1 Aug 1839, and it was probated in Oct 1839 Caswell Co. (Book N p379) His will names his wife Frances Berry and "her brother Artiochus Boswell", as executors and asks that his property, " be equally divided among all my then living children", whom he does not name. The will has a number ,0521 stamped on it."
"Elisha Berry was bondsman for the 8 Dec 1819 Caswell Co marriage of Frances Berry to Clemmons Nance . Was Frances a sister to Elisha ? There was also a Nancy Berry who married Johnston Sertain on 20 july 1830 in Caswell Co ( Marriage Bonds) she might have been a sister of Elisha Berry. Elisha Berry also has a younger namesake in Elisha Berry Gibson , who may have been a son of Frances Berry's sister Margaret Boswell Gibson"
"Elisah Berry was administrator for the estate of William Berry (Caswell co.) in 1823. (LDS microfilm ) I have seen one small document and do not know what relationship Elisha was to William; I have not seen enough to assume that Elisha was William's son."
Frances Boswell Berry ;
"No death record has been found. She was alive when the 1840 census ewas taken, and she was deceased by April(term of 1853), when another document in the protracted probate process of her father was recorded before the court.Not found on the 1850 cenusus for Caswell or in Rockingham Cos. and I find her proable children living with other relatives. This inplies she was deceased by 1850 "
