The following descendants are verified as children of Garrett by marriage documents from Madison County, KY:
Berry, William Baxter, Sally Sep 2 1805
Berry, Elizabeth Thomas, Peter Nov 11 1812
Berry, Frances Webber, Phillip May 22 1823
Berry, Polly Wray/Wry, Samuel Jun 23 1827
Berry, Patsy Kidwell, Levi 20 Mar 1812
Berry, Sally Baxter, Sylvester 14 Apr 1809
While there is no direct documentation the following are also believed to be children of Garrett Berry based on indirect documentation and supported by y-DNA test results:
John Berry m. Mary Grimes
James H. Berry m. Kitty Elder
Peter H. Berry m. Elizabeth Ashbrook
The documentation is discussed in the General Notes for each of these three descendants. [ceb 27 Mar 2015]
Family lore is that Garrett is the brother of James H. Berry (married to Sarah Grubbs), and Thomas Berry (marriage unknown), and they were the sons of Thomas Berry -- see the source. Notwithstanding, there is NO direct primary documentation to link these fellows. It does seem (from their proximity in Madison County, KY.) to be a reasonable conclusion. It also seems reasonable that the other Berrys that appear at the same time and place (James W. married to Margaret, William married to Rhody Crews, and John married to Elizabeth Harris) would be in some way related to them as well (see John Calvin Berry 1870 census: Overton Harris). 2

[While there was only one Garrett Berry in Madision County, there was usually more than one John Berry reported in the tax lists between 1799 and 1810.
One John Berry would have been married to Elizabeth Harris. Elizabeth Harris was related to the Grubbs family. Perhaps this John was involved with Garrett in the case vs Grubbs. This John and Elizabeth moved to MO in about 1809.
The other John Berry (my ancestor) m. Mary Grimes in 1808, and moved to Clark County in about 1809. Was it he that was involved with Garrett in the Grubbs case? This John was also involved in a Madison County case vs Thomas Taylor.
