After evaluating the records for 1830, the only one that matches the age of Elizabeth Tapp Barry (age 3) is the family of Suclee or Juclee or Juche or Luclee or Tolas or ? Berry. Upon evaluating the records for 1840, there are two records that match the age of Elizabeth (age 13), Robert M. Berry and James Berry Jr. This James Berry Jr. is not the same as James Berry Jn. in 1840, nor the same as either James Berry in 1830. Page numbers sometimes reflect a relative geographic location. Both Robert and James appear on page 28 separated by several pages from the rest of the Berrys. Neither appears on the 1830 record. This may mean that they are related and traveled together. But the question is, who is James Berry Jr. The oldest male in the family is 15-20 years old and the next oldest male is 10-15. There are several children, many too old to be the children of this oldest male. The oldest female is 20-30. Does this mean that the head of the household is dead and the oldest male child is taking care of his brothers and sisters? Or is it simply that the census taker entered the number in the wrong column. And where were they in 1830? If Robert and James are related, are they brothers? What about James Berry Sr., is he Robert's father?

In the 1840 census for Robert M. Berry, he is listed as being between 40-50, the entry for what I assume is his wife is between 30-40. Then there is an interesting entry for a female between 40-50. This could be a boarder, a servant, a sister, her mother, or other relative. There are eight children listed. Could some of them belong to this other woman? The children include male one between 10-15, female two under 5, three 5-10, one 10-15, and one 15-20. The nearby families are named Pace, Bareman, Reynolds, Alfred, Ellison, and Brown.

The AIS Index for 1820 lists 5 Berry men in Georgia. Charles in Ogelthorpe Co., James in Gwinnette Co, James in Putnam Co, James in Jones Co, and T. L. in Ogelthorpe Co. The AIS Index is only an aid. I have found people that were listed in the actual census record but were not included in the AIS.

The 1850 census for Blount County Alabama was taken in November of that year. It is on Microfilm Number 2344.
