I'd love to chat with anyone who is also researching BERRY's of north eastern MA. My Berry's lived in Suffolk Co., Essex Coo. & Middlesex Co. Thaddeus Berry is the earliest that I'm SURE is my Berry. He arrived in the early/mid 1600's. There is much chatter about my Berry's and the Berry's of William of Strawberry Bank, NH. I DO NOT believe my Thaddeus Berry is a product of William(son of Johan Berry of England)William of Strawberry Bank had a large family and much is out there on his line. I find no documentation to support him having a son named Thaddeus. I actually lean toward the theory that Thaddeus was Irish, being the much written about Thaddeous..Teague O'Barry that first lived in Boston/Lynn area: Rumney Marsh, MA. Thaddeus' son John had a son Samuel Berry b. 1699 who is often confused with Samuel b.6-25-1697(son of Thomas, john's brother)and died before 1720. The two Samuels were cousins! Anyway my Samuel married Moriah Ingalls of Lynn, MA. Their son Nathaniel b. 1736 married Susanna Esty.
I have much documentation on this family. I'd love more. A family bible would be a desirable source of information if anyone has one. If you have info to change my mind or to expand my beliefs PLEASE contact me. I'm willing to listen to anything about this Berry family. MY Berry FAMILY!
Thanks for you help.
