John Jackson Berry and Alise Miles

Notice: I have several persons who contributed to this work, I have tried to verify it all thru census records, but those prior to 1840, as well as
maiden names of spouses, I cannot verify. If you should have any other verification or documents that prove this lineage in any way, please let me
know. Searching census records, I believe I have identified all of the children of John and Alise, and have them all accounted for between 1830
to 1880

Note: In some cases, when the male head of family is not listed in the census, we 'assume' he is deceased, or when he has a spouse with a
different name, we assume the previous one is deceased, but we must always remember the possiblity of divorce, which I am finding more and
more prevalent in those times. Susan BARLOW Holmes

John Jackson "Jack" Berry3 (John2, John1) son of John Berry and Edith Polk, was born April or May 19, 1803 in South Carolina, and died August 17, 1859

He married Alise "Alcy" Miles between 1825 -1827, probably in Alabama.

The daughter of William 'Hardy' Miles and Mary Powell, she was born October 15, 1807 in Tennessee, and died June 13, 1883

Both are buried in Strong River Cemetery, Pinola, Simpson Co Mississippi
*

THE SIMPSON COUNTY BERRY PATCH states that he died in August, 1860, of heart disease.
Twenty-three days later Alise Miles Berry passed away at the age of seventy-five.

The information for Alise, is incorrect, as she is enumerated in the 1860-1880 census, and her death date has been
given to me as 1883 and 1884.

Also from the Berry Patch, I find the following information, but have not verified, are the following notes:

John Jackson "Jack" Berry became well known and respected in the county as he served in the Mississippi Legis-
lature for Simpson County in 1840 ~ 1844 ~ 1846 ~ 1857 ~ 1858. The new laws of Mississippi were just published
and was their guiding tools for the next few years.

Some excerpts----

"....that all that portion of Copiah County west of Pearl River shall form and constitute the county of Copiah; and all
that portion of said county east of Pearl River shall form one county to be known by the name of Simpson, in memory
of the late honorable Josiah Simpson..."

"...the county town in the county of Simpson, shall be known by the name of Westville, in memory of the late Col. Cato
West... Approved January 23, 1824"

"...Acts for colored persons not to sell spirituous liquors, not to be employed in printing offices, nor to keep houses
of entertainment, not to act as ministers of the gospel; not to vend goods out of the limits to town..."

Alise was a granddaughter of William Miles, who died in Missouri, and the daughter of Hardy Miles, a famous Revolu-
tionary soldier who was born in 1760, and died at the age of 74 in Rankin Co Mississippi. This was testified to by
32 men, including Colonel John Berry and his brother-in-law's William Gardner, and Simon Polk. (Husbands of Mary
and Centilla Berry)

Colonel John and Alise Berry lived near old Stonewall, where Mt. Zion Baptist Church is located near Westville.

William H. Berry4 (John3, John2, John1) was born c1826-27 in Mississippi, died 1890 in Rankin Co Mississippi, burial in Steen Creek Cemetery, Florence Rankin Co Mississippi

He married 1.) Martha Courtney Kitchens c1846
*
He married 2.) Martha Bishop, after 1847. She was born c1828, and probably died before 1870
*
He married 3.) Sarah S. before 1870

As told by Mary Elizabeth Thurman Webb, gr-granddaughter of William H. (Bill) Berry was visiting relatives in Rankin County when he took ill and died. It was decided that he would be buried there due to the lack of refrigeration during that time.

While I cannot verify that William is indeed a child of Jack and Alise, or of his spouse' maiden names, I will attempt to
verify his family.

Family Circle: Martha Bishop is the daughter of John Bishop and Lucretia Taylor, and sister to Harriet E. Bishop who married William's brother, Denson Berry. Also a sister of Elisha Bishop who married Louisa Berry, daughter of William Berry and Sarah Boomer and to Hinds / Hines Bishop, said to have married Susannah Berry, another daughter of William and Sarah Boomer Berry

She married Stanhope Chandler on January 05, 1876
The son of Judge William Chandler, and his first wife, he is a half brother to Ella, who married Fannie's brother, Samuel

Thomas James Berry born January 12, 1863, and died July 05, 1863

iv.

Robert Richard Berry born August 30, 1863 in Mississippi, was still living in his parents home in 1880 Apparently Sallie became pregnant immediately following the birth of Thomas, and had Robert into her 8th month

Benjamin Briley Berry born March 25, 1865 in Mississippi

He married Addie Myers January 28, 1892

The 1870 census shows a Bennett Berry, age 1. There is not a Bennett Berry shown in the Bible records, so I feel he may be the same as Benjamin, but his age should have been 4-5 years old. If he is not the same, then the question of where Benjamin was during that census is left to face. I think most likely, this is Benjamin.
