David Berry and Rebecca Vines

**David Berry and Rebecca Vines**

David Berry 2 (John1) was born between 1770 - 1775 in South Carolina, and died 1833 in Rankin Co Mississippi.

* He married Rebecca Vines

I am unsure as to where Rebecca was living in 1840, but in l850, Rebecca is living with her daughter, Mary, and husband,
Daniel D. Webb in Rankin Co Mississippi. There were surely other children we know nothing about, that she was living with.

In 1820, David and Rebecca were enumerated in Covington Co Mississippi

They lived in Simpson Co from about 1822-1828.   They then removed to Rankin Co, where David died about 1831 or
1833.   He and Rebecca are said to be the first to be buried in the Sutton-Berry family graveyard.   The cemetery is
about 2 miles off the highway in the woods between Florence   and Brandon.    There are no stones on their graves
but the dates were supplied from printed records of their families ..... this information was submitted by Miss Mary J.
Berry in 1946

Rankin County Historical Society book has the children of
David Berry ( ** - 1833, MS) & Rebecca Vines(1780, NC-1859, MS) as:

       German Berry (I806, SC - 1882, MS) married Colon Boggan (I814 - 1849, MS) in 1829;
       Thompson Vines Berry (1808, SC - 1854) married Elizabeth White;
       Sarah Berry (1811 - **) married Nathaniel Touchstone;
       and Mary Berry (1817, SC - 1864, MS) married Daniel Dampeer Webb (I 816 - 1877, MS) c1834

Messages from the internet message boards, give reference to a David Berry, being an Indian interpreter, but I do
not know if this is our David or not. The family mentioned by Janet, does not appear to be ours, though another
researcher disputes this. Does anyone have a proven connection to this David?

Janet White
Does anyone have any information on the David Berry who served as Indian interpreter in Mississippi Territory. Or
the David or John Berry who lived in Washington Co Alabama, then Texas, (where I believe John died) and back
to Alabama? I believe one of the boys married a Mizell. Supposedly they were born in Pascagoula, Mississippi. This
is all heresay and rumor from older family members. The first David would have been in Mississippi Territory around
the 1790's. The others would have been born about 1825 or so.

David Berry and John Berry are brothers and both are the children of William Berry, Sr. and Henrietta. David Berry
came to Adams Co Mississippi in 1802 from North Carolina. He removed to Wilkinson Co, Mississippi in 1816. John
Berry was with other brothers were William Berry, Presley Berry, Anderson Berry and Garrett Berry. All came to
Wilkinson Co Mississippi in 1804 from Warren Co Georgia. John Berry removed to Jefferson Co Mississippi.

Another researcher makes the following claim:
The David Berry, interperter to the Indians is a brother to John Berry and GERMAN Berry. THEIR FATHER IS A JOHN
Berry. John Berry and German Berry descendants refer to them as the Simpson Co Mississippi set even though they
are wide spread.

* Known children of David Berry and Rebecca Vines are:

2 i.	German Berry3 born 1806 in South Carolina, and died October 17, 1882 in Freestone Co? Texas
3 ii.	Thompson Vines Berry born January 05, 1808, and died April 12, 1854 in Rankin Co Mississippi.
4 iii.	Sarah Berry born June 09, 1811, and died 1837 in Rankin Co Mississippi.
5 v.	Mary Berry born 1817

2. German Berry 3 (David2, John1) was born c1806 in South Carolina, and died October 17, 1882 in Rankin Co Mississippi,
burial in the Berry-Sutton Cemetery, near Florence, Rankin Co Mississippi

           He married Colon "Mary" Boggan
           The daughter of Joseph Boggan and Sarah 'Sally' Carraway, she was born May 23, 1814 in North Carolina, and died
           July 24, 1849 in Rankin Co Mississippi, burial in the Berry-Sutton Cemetery, near Florence, Rankin Co Mississippi

Mary Boggan's sister Louisa C. Boggan, married Major Benjamin J.F. Sutton; the family cemetery is named for him
as well as for the Berry family.

In the 1860 Rankin Co census, an Elizabeth Berry, age 44, is living in the home with Joseph and Sally Boggan as
well as several McCaskill children, and a John Jinkins, age 78.

If anyone should be interested in the Caraway family, I have a small amount of data that I extracted from Simpson
Co records and from records of the Archibald Caraway family graveyard.

1880, German is living in Freestone Co Texas, where his will was written and published.

vii.	Mary E. Berry born c1849 in Mississippi Married John W. Webb c1870 in Rankin Co Mississippi

* I am told that German next married Elizabeth "Betsy" Boggan, a sister of Mary's, who had prior been married to a
McCaskill. She was born 1817, and died 19 July 19, 1882. *

I found Elizabeth McCaskill, age 34 with her McCaskill children in the 1850 census of Rankin Co living with
her parents, Joseph and Sally Boggan, and also, Louisa Berry, age 3, whom I believe to be a daughter of
Mary and German. I cannot locate German anywhere in the U.S. on the 1850 census, nor any of his other
children. Census Image

In 1860, I find German living with his children, and Elizabeth, now a Berry, is still living with her parents,
her age is 44, and most of her McCaskill children are also still there, as well as a 7 year old, Susan, also
shown to be a McCaskill in the census, but I assume that was a census taker error.
