Enoch
Berry \ Barry
He died in 1818 at the age of 93 in Kentucky.2
Enoch was born in Hanover Parish, King Georges Co., VA about 1725. He may have
been the Enoch Berry who was living on a farm owned by Thomas Ashley in
Frederick Co. in 1752.
The name of his wife has yet to be learned, nor is it known when he married. Allowing for a marriage between, say, ages 18 and 22, Enoch probably married between 1743 and 1747. Birth year estimates are available for his sons William [c1750], George [c1751], Joel [c1754],, Enoch [c1756] and John [c1760]. Enoch also had four daughters, Ann, Mary, Elizabeth and Sarah. Elizabeth's birth has been estimated as between 1750 and 1760. If Enoch's wife was close to his age, the youngest child was probably dorn about 1765.
Enoch seems to have come up on the short end of his father's will. Enoch received 10 shillings from his father's estate. Brothers Joel, Henry and Benjamin received a share of land and three slaves each. Brother William was left a share of land, three slaves and an old still. Brother George received land and a mill, four slaves, a new still, a rifled gun, and a "Dunn horse." Even the girls came out better than Enoch. Mary, Elizabeth and Sarah were bequeathed two slaves each. Ann and her daughter, Elizabeth, were each left a slave, as was wife Sarah.
Interestingly enough, Enoch's mother refused to be executrix of the estate. Joel was then named executor. [King Georges Deed Book 6, pages 68, 69, 72]
It may be that Henry had already provided for Enoch, or there may have been a falling out between the two.
Enoch probably moved to Kentucky shortly after the Revolutionary War. He died there in 1818, probably in Pendleton or Campbell County.

Elizabeth
Berry \ Barry
She died after 1840 at the age of 90 in Pendleton Co., Kentucky.5–6 [Desc. of John Creel]
Elizabeth was the daughter of Enoch Berry. Several sources give her birthplace
as Maryland, but Virginia seems more likely. There is no evidence to date
suggesting that the Berrys made a swing into Maryland before arriving in
Kentucky.
Thomas was made a freeman in London Derry, Chester Co., PA in 1767. Crail married about 1773 to Elizabeth Berry, probably in Maryland. Thomas Crail was a private 4th class in Captain Charles Reed's 2nd Company in Lt. Col. John Marshal's 4th Battalion in Washington Co., Pennsylvania. Thomas was living near brother John in Beaver Co. [later Allegheny Co.], Pennsylvania in 1790. He was on the Allegheny Tav list for 1791.
By 1795 he was on the Campbell Co., Kentucky tax list showing 1 adult male, 2 males 16 and older, 2 horses, and 4 cattle. The 1796 Campbell Co. tax list showed 2 adult males, 2 males over 16, 1 horse, and 6 cattle.
John Grant [Grant's Lick named in his honor] sold, by agreement, an unrecorded 150 acres one the North Licking River to Thomas Crail on 14 April 1797. This land became part of Pendleton County in 1798. According to letters from E.E. Barton to local families, the Crails were among the early settlers of Pendleton County.
On 18 September 1799, Crail bought household items from the estate of Peter Horn. His name appeared on the 1801-1808 Pendleton Co. tax lists with 150 acres of land.
Thomas Crail's will was dated 10 April 1809 and probated on 15 May 1809. The will named wife Elizabeth, sons Wilson, Absalom, James and John, and daughter Elizabeth Downing. Also named are Elizabeth's husband, Edward, and children Eliza, Sally, Elizabeth, and Polly. John was to receive $1 from the estate unless he returned a power of attorney and deed for 336 acres near Chillicothe, Ross Co., OH. Thomas died on 23 April 1809.
Wilson Crail, executor and heir, petitioned the court to legalize the 1797 deed agreement [Pendleton Co. Deed Book C3]. An appraisement of the estate was entered on 17 June 1809. The inventory was made by Stephen Mullins, John Boyle and Pope Williams. Elizabeth's name appeared on the tax lists for 1809-10 with 150 acres.
Thomas was buried in the Thrasher Cemetery.

5. Joel
Berry \ Barry
He died on 28 Feb 1843 at the age of 89 in Rush Co., Indiana, United States.3–4,13–14 Joel was born in 1754 in King George Co., VA. In
his pension application, dated 4 March 1833 in Pendleton Co., KY, Berry stated
that he was drafted into the militia in early 1775. He served under Captain
Joseph Rogers and his brother, William Berry, was a lieutenant in that company.
Joel served at Hunter's Forge in Fredericksburg until the middle of 1779. The
militiamen there worked on the guns to make them serviceable for the troops.
Berry occasionally volunteered to guard the Potomac when threatened by the
enemy.
He marched to Molden under a Captain Garrett [1776] and to Howe's Ferry under his brother [Captain William Berry] to monitor British shipping on the Potomac [1777].
In 1780, Berry removed to Hampshire Co. There he served under Capt. Brunty marching to the South Branchof the Potomac to disperse a group of Tories. The Tories scattered before Brunty arrived. This combined service totalled about 24 months.
Joel recalled seeing or hearing Generals Washington, Lafayette, Greene, von Steuben, Gates, Stevens and Col. Innes. He was never engaged in any battles.
From Hampshire Co., Joel moved to Frederick Co. [1782] He was issued warrants for 500 and 1000 acres on Upper Howard's Creek and 874 and 1126 acres on Lulligreed Creek in Fayette Co., VA. Joel joined his brothers on the trip to the Kentucky territory in 1784. Berry resided in Mason Co. for 15-20 years, although tax records show him in Bourbon Co. in 1787. He had then moved to Pendleton Co. by 1804. Berry had land on the Main Licking Creek.
He appeared on the Pendleton Co. tax lists through 1814 and again from 1820-1826. The intervening time was spent in White Co., Illinois with brother Enoch.
Nancy, his second wife, died on 1 Nov 1827. Joel moved to Rush Co., IN and spent his remaining years with son Holesworth Berry, dying there in 1843. Daughter Rebecca Mullins received his pension of $80.
