Denson Berry and Harriet E. Bishop

39.

Denson Berry  / perhaps Samuel Denson4 (John3, John2, John1) son of John Jackson Berry and Alisie Miles, was born April 19, 1827 or 1831 in  Mississippi, and died  October 05, 1865, in Simpson Co Mississippi, burial in Strong River Cemetery, Simpson Co Mississippi

He married Harriet E. Bishop  on December 30, 1852 in Simpson Co Mississippi
A daughter of John Bishop and Lucretia Taylor, she was born November 30, 1832 in Simpson Co Mississippi, and died February 13, 1926, burial in Strong River Cemetery, Simpson Co Mississippi

Several  persons also named a Samuel as a child of JJ and Ally, the age the same as Denson, I think he may have been named Samuel Denson.

Family Circle:  Harriet was a sister to Martha Bishop who married Denson''s brother, Wm H. Berry,  to  Elisha Bishop who married Louisa Berry,  and to  Hines Bishop, who married Susannah Berry,  both daughters of  William Berry and Sarah Boomer

I have not seen the military record of Denson, but have a note that his wife, Harriet, filed a Confederate pension application, stating that he was in the 39th Mississippi
