• Subject: [VA-NORTHERN-NECK] Was the Spouse of Thomas Berry, Sr. (c.1659-c.1700) the Daughter of Elizabeth (Morton) Lattimore Bledsoe (died 1708)?

My ancestor Thomas Berry (1683-1743) was married to Patience (MNU) and they were parents of Patience Berry who married John Ingram (Patience Berry & John Ingram had daughter Sarah Ingram who married Christopher Dameron, son of Bartholomew Dameron & Anne Morehead and grandson to Christopher Dameron & Sarah Ball). Thomas Berry (1683-1743) was the son of Thomas Berry, Sr. (c.1659-c.1700) who supposedly married Margaret, widow of Thomas Smith. I have the following questions pertaining to Thomas Berry, Sr. (c.1659-c.1700): · Was Thomas Berry, Sr. (c.1659-c.1700) the father of Mary Berry who married in c.1709 to Thomas Harding (Mary Berry’s second husband was supposedly Royston Betts)? Some show this Mary Berry as daughter of a William Berry, but I can find no proof either way.

· Was Widow Margaret Smith the only wife of Thomas Berry, Sr. (c.1659-c.1700) and mother to all of his children including Thomas Berry (1683-1743) who married Patience MNU?

· Was Thomas Berry, Sr. married to the daughter of Elizabeth Morton who married first to Clement Lattimore and second to George Bledsoe and left a will in 1708 in which she mentioned granddaughter Mary Berry?

· If Thomas Berry, Sr. was married to the daughter of Elizabeth (Morton) Lattimore Bledsoe, was it Widow Margaret Smith who was daughter of Elizabeth (Morton) Lattimore Bledsoe or did Thomas Berry, Sr. have another wife who was daughter of Elizabeth (Morton) Lattimore Bledsoe?

relevant excerpts include:

• 1) Will of Andrew Morton;
• 2) Will of Elizabeth (Morton) Lattimore Bledsoe (notice she had a son named Richard Lattimore);
• 3) Information relating to Will of Thomas Berry, Sr.; &
• 4) Deed from Thomas Berry (1683-1743) to Thomas Gill in which Richard Lattimore is mentioned as "attorney" to Patience Berry, wife of Thomas Berry (1683-1743).
