In the 1800s there were a lot of men named Green Berry or Greenbury. Was there someone famous by this name? Why was this name so popular?

I too find this name on the family tree. Greenberry and Greenbury, and my last name is Atteberry which makes it very strange! There are places in Mo. and Ill. that also relate to the name...

Have no idea why Greenbury/Greenberry got popular in the l800's, one of my wife's GGF's was Greenbury Cuthbert Owens, b. l837. In the LDS there are something like 18-19 Greenbury Owens born about that time none of the listings are him. Did notice that he didn't stick that name on any of his sons.

I usually find my Green Berry's ( I have a number on both paternal/maternal and my husband's)in the lines I am hoping to proove Native Ancestry esp. SE=cherokee/choctaw

I dont have a Greenbury,but,I have a Little Berry.Seems like Little Berry was an Upchurch family name and upon marriage it passed to my Phillips family.I have heard that there is a Green Berry in the Upchurch family as well,but,as of yet I have not run across it.April

this name also appears in my family but i can't seem to find his parents or his wife's. his full n. is talbert greenberry ellis bn. ca. 1865 d. ca. 1911 md. nancy janney edens bn. 1872 d. 1962. i have found nancy's headstone in ark. she remarried after tal. past away. i think they were from ill. or ind. i'm not sure they have 5 chrildren. elzy lee, john william, henry bryant, henry cass, richard oran augusta(my line).

I too am looking for information on......"Greenberry" Miller, who married Mary Tate. I am also researching the Native American proof of Cherokee, Choctaw, or Cree. Do you have any information on these people? quapaw@gte.net

I have several Greenberrys in my tree as well. Found it interesting that some believe it connected to Native Americans. Anyone have any more info on this name?
