I thought I'd share that I did find a Berry "JONSON" in 1850 Roane Co. as follows:
1850 Roane Co., TN. Census - 20th Sub - Pg 327B - 24 Aug 1850 - 80/87:
Elizabeth JONSON - Age 75 - F - NC
BERRY- Age 40 - M - NC
Nancy- Age 38 - F - NC
Rebecca- Age 29 - F - NC
James- Age 10 - M - TN
As you can see, this Berry was b. abt 1810, which is the right age. There is no "Sarah" in the home, but what is interesting is that 4 houses away (House #84) is Mark RENTFRO & family (Sarah's brother). Could this Berry be the one that married Sarah in 1837?
Elizabeth is probably his mother. Is Nancy or Rebecca a 2nd wife or a sister? 10 yr old James may be his son. Could he be Sarah's?Could Berry have married after Sarah, become widowed again, and ultimately married Delia Munsey in 1865?I'd really like to be able to determine if Sarah's "Berry", Delia's "Berry" and the "Berry" in this 1850 census are the same person.
