1. Your kit number ____107994_________ 
2. Your name _Living___________________ 
3. Why did you join the Lost Colony project? Interested in seeing if he (I) may be related to the early colonists. 

James Lowry Jr. settled in Southern VA and was in the fur trade. He learns Indian dialects including Cherokee and Tuscarora. His son, James III helped the Cherokee with the Treaty of 1705 as an interpreter. He married Priscilla Berry who was supposedly a direct descendant of Henry Berry of White's lost colony. She was supposedly 1/8th Tuscaroran.

You may note in the Berry ancestry (which is also mine) we have an ancestor, Ann (Nancy) Smith who was the daughter of John Smith IV (1710-1802).  This research was done by my late uncle, a retired librarian, without the use of computer technology.  He has traced the Smith line back to the 1500's in England.  Don't know if this is of interest to the TLCGP project.

9. Do you have history to share? If so, paste here or send separately. 

Family tales said we are mixed with the native American tribe in the NC/SC area around the Pee Dee river. (they are supposedly the “lost” Croatans0. Our ancestor, Henry O. Berry, was granted land next to James Lowery, in 1730/2 which is now the Lumbee Indian land. There are some research documents that list Henry O. Berry as being part Tuscarora but the Lumbee tribal office thinks that he was probably croatan since the Tuscarora would probably have killed his family not cohabited with them. Some of the Berry family moved about 10 miles south into South Carolina. Henry Berry had a relative, Priscilla, who married the son of James Lowery. They had a grandson, Henry Berry Lowry, who is known in the Lumbee tribe as “Robin Hood”. He is idolized in the tribe and has many buildings etc. dedicated to him. His actual house has been moved to the site of a park named “Strike the Wind” where there is an amphitheater showing the history and actions of Henry Berry Lowery. His family and “gang” were all killed but he escaped through the swamps in 1872 and was never seen again. Reports are that his wife, Rhoda, made trips to Tennessee and Alabama several times after 1872. 
I am excited to report that I have been visiting the tribal office and am close to getting a Berry surname Lumbee Indian to donate his DNA for our project. 

10. Are you willing to have your e-mail address and first name listed as a contact for your kit? If so, what is the e-mail you want listed? 
YES - [email protected]  
  
11. Are you willing to be a coordinator or resource for any of the Lost Colony surnames? If so, which ones? Berry

Notes for Andrew Berry:
Some say Andrew Berry came to the "New World" thru Charles Towne SC and that he came with two brothers one of whom went to Virginia. None of this is proven. More likely is that they came from VA to NC and then to SC. Henry Berry and James Lowery were given land grants in 1730 in the Lumbee area of NC on the SC border. One of the descendants of Henry was Priscilla Berry who is purported to be the mother of an infamous Lumbee named Henry Berry Lowery. This info is in the book "The Only Land I Know". Andrew settled at Sandy Bluff on the Pee Dee RIver above what is now FLorence SC, at or near the SC/NC state line. He was small of stature. His was one of six families in the original colony at Sandy Bluff on the Great Pee Dee River, Provence of Carolina in 1735. The families were Berry, Crawford, Crosby, Keighly, Murfee, Saunders. They came from England and Ireland to Charles Town, to George Town and up the Pee Dee River to Sandy Bluff in Queensborough Township, Craven County. Latter this was a part of Liberty County which became Marion County and is now Dillon County.
