Dear All Berry Descendants,
I have one for you all. I have a relative called Harriet Berry who ran away from Ireland with one of the Estates gardener's called R Rock (I think the R stood for Richard as one of is sons was called Richard).
They moved to Albany in New York and had at least three children called Richard, Harriet and Mary Ann. Mary Ann was born in 1815 and died 22nd Sep 1904 at Westgate in Margate, UK.
So I guess their mother was born around 1785 to 1795, which would make her father Thomas Berry And Mary (nee Pringle). Of course in those days if she had eloped with the gardener I am sure the family did their best to cover up that they ever had a daughter called Harriet!!
So if anyone can find anything on Harriet Berry I would be most impressed and Happy!
Best wishes,
William
