Disputed Identity and Associations

Biography
Edward Berry married Elizabeth Hardy.
Elizabeth (Hardy) married Edward Berry previous to October 10, 1668 as on this date deeds were recorded transferring to one another certain rights including the Gafford property, "land and housings at Gafford's point, 18 acres, a point almost entirely surronded by water; on the northeast only by land of Osmund Trask." Edward Berry was a seaman and weaver. He had a son, Edward, also a seaman and weaver, who came from Painton, Devon, England about 1677 (conflicting dates 1668 and 1677. RMS), and resided in Salem from that year until 1716. Edward the elder moved to Marblehead in 1679 and stayed there until he went to live with his stepson, Mark Haskell.
