132. William Alfred Barry
(1)(2)
(3) was born in Oct 1765 in Virginia. He died on 27 May 1820 in Smith
Co., Tennessee. In all of the research that I have found the name Barry is
interchanged with Berry at the discretion of the person that has entered the
original data. In the past the census enumerator has had to spell names as best
they could, many of our ancesters could not read or write and had no idea how
their names were spelled. When researching I've tried to keep an open mind as
to the spellings of names. I am using Barry throughout this report for convience,
in many cases the spelling Berry is used as, or more, often than Barry.
The relationship between William Barry, Robert Mercer Barry and William G. Barry
is speculation on the part of Yvette McClung. There seems to be a relationship
though not proven in any way.
The information about William and his descendents (except the John Mercer Barry
line and William G. Barry) is from the LDS Family Search Site. Information on
William and Elizabeth's children from Alberta Barry: cabarry@@concentric.net.
