About James B Berry
Summery
(Taken from Wiki Tree Summery for James Berry)
James Berry (Sr.) was born in Northern Ireland (possibly in County Donegal) or Scotland. He was a farmer. His wife may have been the daughter of John Davis (~1675/~1690+) and Elizabeth. Many researchers believe that she was Elizabeth Davis, but this has not yet been proven. James is one of the two oldest traceable patriarchs in this lineage bearing the Berry surname, the other being John Berry (~1695/1770-1771), who was probably his brother. John had the following children: James, William, Charles, Francis, Mary, and Rebecca. Due to the repetitive use of the given name, James, in this family group, this individual is often referred to as the elder James Berry. While there seems to be a small body of unverifiable data that speculates on certain aspects of his life, there is very little information from primary or secondary sources documenting this man, and the few sources available merely record the last several years of his life. From the available information, it appears that James Berry was probably born in Northern Ireland or Scotland, and may have been married twice. Not surprising, this data is quite incomplete and contradictory, expressing disagreement on his age, who he married, the identity of his children, where and when he emigrated to the American colonies, and when he died. Some sources claim that he moved to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, coming through Philadelphia, before 1718, while other references don't place him in the American colonies until about 1740 when he settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia. What is known with certainty is that by late 1749 or early 1750 he had moved to Augusta County, Virginia. James’ son, Thomas, died in Washington County, Virginia. He had the following children: James, Barbara, Thomas, William, Mary, Elizabeth, George, Susannah, Rebecca, John, Francis, and Esther. James had a son named James Junior. James Junior had Charles, James, William, Finis, Elizabeth, and Young. The Berry Clan is a sect of Scotland’s McIntosh clan. Ethnically, the Berry family is Scotch-Irish in ancestry, which connotes a combination of Irish and Scottish backgrounds. This family probably came to America as part of the movement of approximately a quarter of a million Ulster Scots to the American colonies from 1717 until the beginning of the American revolution in 1776 due to religious persecution famine, and political and economic reasons. While the location of this Scotch-Irish Berry family cannot be traced with certainty prior to their appearance in Augusta County, Virginia, they seem to have been part of a flood of northern European immigrants, predominantly German and Scotch-Irish, that traveled down the Great Wagon Road to the valley of Virginia and beyond from Pennsylvania. The Scotch-Irish were almost entirely Presbyterian in religion, and for the most part, consisted of middle class farmers and tradesman who had left Scotland and northern Ireland in response to economic, religious and political pressure from the English. Most arrived in the American colonies by sea in the Philadelphia area, and moved westward to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which at the time constituted much of the piedmont area between the Pennsylvania continuation of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shuylkill River. The promise of inexpensive land drew them into the Shenandoah Valley and beyond down the Great Warrior Path, eventually known as the Great Wagon Road, that lay in the basin between the rugged highlands of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains.
