Garrett Berry ²

  General Notes:

Family lore is that Garrett is the brother of James H. Berry (married to Sarah Grubbs), and Thomas Berry (marriage unknown), and they are the sons of Thomas Berry -- see the source. Notwithstanding, there is NO 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 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).
