Robert Berry

The earliest known ancestor of this line is Robert Berry. While Robert's birth date is also unknown, a land survey was entered for him in 1753 in Orange County, North Carolina. Assuming that Robert was at least 21 years of age at this time would indicate he was probably born before 1733. Robert Berry was a private during the Revolutionary War serving with the North Carolina Continental Line. His will was dated 16 April 1812 and was recorded in Orange County, North Carolina. Robert married Elizabeth Cate about 1760 and produced at least 10 children. The children named in his will were: Mary; Robert, Jr.; Joshua; William; Thomas; Henry; Isaac; David; John and Elizabeth. Some descendants of this line remained in North Carolina while others migrated to Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas.
