EIGHTH GENERATION


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.

"I have on my notes that William Alfred Barry b. 1765 SC and d. before 14 Aug. 1820. Elizabeth Mercer b. @@ 1766 SC and d. 1853." email from Alberta Barry, April 27, 2000.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. He was married to Elizabeth Mercer in 1795.
