Notes
a. Continued:   Notes From Marvin Berryman:
  John Berryman "Berry" Turner had brothers Henry Turner & Jarrett Turner - in 1806, [Note: This further supports the theory that Berry Turner was a son of, and not a brother of, Micajah who lived 1777-1871.]
  Randolph Wren, Smith Co ,TN, witnessed will of Berryman Turner (of NC) - also see Berryman Turner Parr Sr., married Martha George (born 1796, Lincoln Co., TN; died 1852, Barry Co., MO.) THIS IS LIKELY A RELATIVE, BUT NOT THE SAME PERSON AS, BERRY TURNER OF GA.
  From 1880 Census:

  Berry's will was filed in Lumpkin Co., GA, though the area he lived in was probably part of White Co. These counties disputed the boundary for years. He was nevertheless buried in White Co.
  Notes From Ms. Leila Turner:
  "Berry" is listed also as John Berry Turner. His will and Justice of the Peace records say "Berry Turner". Then his headstone says "John Berry Turner."
 "Berry Turner's birthday was listed in the Samuel Etris Family Bible as 4 May 1798, (page 4, first line.) But his grave stone says 1 May 1798."
  NOTES FROM MS. GLENDA ETRESS BLACKERBY (received 5 Dec. 2005):
  I have been working some on Berry Turner, trying to figure out the 16 persons included in the 1838 census of his. In 1834 there were 9, then in 1838 there are 16 persons, (2 males aged 6-16, and 3 females aged 6-16.) I wonder where the others came from??? Or rather Whom? In 1840 there are only 9 children and the parents; 11 all total. 5 are missing.
  I also have been searching for data on the daughter Sarah, who married the Ellison / Allison. Also the line of Duncan McCrary who married Berry's daughter Mary. Need to check for later marriage records for her. But she was listed as living with Wm. Joseph Etris on the 1870 census.
