1. He died on 7 Dec 1695 at the age of 43 in St. Mary's Parish, Henrico, Virginia, British America. 1 A tract of 550 acres located between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers in Stafford Co. was surveyed for Henry Berry Sr. on 10 May 1671. This land was left to Henry Jr..
On 11 Dec 1673, Henry Berry sold land to William Harper, brother of his wife, Sarah. This may have been part of Sarah's inheritance. Her father died the same month.
Henry and his father were named as executors of the estate of John Butler of Westmoreland Co., VA in 1676.
On 12 March 1693/4, Henry, then of Richmond Co., relinquished his right and interest in a tract of land that had been taken up by his father to his brother Richard. Richard sold the land to Ralph Whitton. [The Berrys were of Old Rappahannock Co., which was divided into Essex and Richmond in 1692.]
According to the Van Gundy Family Tree site, Henry and Sarah had the following children: Elizabeth, Jane, John, Martha, Rebecca, Sarah, Thomas, Henry, George Pley, and Mary. The births given for George Pley [c1696] and Mary [c1700] make the list suspect.
Early Colonial Settlers of Southern Maryland & Virginia's Northern Neck offers only six children for Henry and Sarah. Deeds and wills cited on the page for Henry confirm relationships by parentage or sibling relationships. Estimated births for the six: John [c1685], Martha [bef 1689], William [13 May 1691], George Pley [c1693], Mary and Henry [c1694].
Other sites, the Gerald Berry Tree, for example, suggest an earlier birth for Henry - 1689.
