I9548: Eliza R ALVIS (9 Feb 1847

Notes

"William Berry as the son of our original Va Berry emigrant, Henry Berry, who arrived as a headright in a land patent issued to Epharaditus Lawson, dated May 22, 1650. Thus, Henry arrived, probably from England, and after paying Lawson the land allotted him from the Colony of Virginia to pay for his passage, started out his life a free man. By 1656 he received a land patent for 140 acres, and from then on appears often in the records of old Rappahannock County. He lived ont he south side of the Rappahannock River, in the county of what is now Esex, upon the Occupacia Creek. His wife's name was Ann, perhaps Saunders, but that is unsure, These 2 had the following children;

Henry Jr. who died in Richmond County, in 1696
William , of whom I have written
John
Richard
Henry Sr. died in 1677, and his wife was alive at the time of his death, for she receives her "wives third" of his estate, in his will. This will leaves several interesting and unanswered questions; mainly, who was the girl Jane Stowe and was there, perhaps, something "wrong" with her? Was she a ward, child of a dead friend or neighbor? And, why does "him that shall have the girle named Jane Stowe" have "2 cows more than the rest"? Was she somehow handicapped, and Henry wanted to make sure she had a husband to care for her? Why were his children cautioned to care for her "so long as she lives"? These are the little things one would LOVE to know, but probably never will!

I will and bequeath to William Herton one hundred acres of land. I will that all the rest of my reall and personall estate be equaly divided amongst my children except my wives thirds. To him that shall have the girle named Jane Stowe to have 2 cows more than the rest.

I will that John Rolt have one heiffer two yeares old.

I will that all my children may have a great care of the keeping of the said Jane Stow soe long as she lives.
That my sone Richard may have learning as well as the rest, as witness my hand this 30th of March 1672.

The background for this page is St. Paul's Parish Church, in King George County, where many of the Berrys belonged, married, had their children christened, and are buried in the adjacent cemetery."
