Sarah Berry was born about 1718 in Virginia and is believed to be the the daughter of Joseph Berry and Catherine Bunbury. It is also believed she died in 1720 in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
JOHN2 PRINCE (REV. JOHN1) was born February 02, 1717/18 in Richmond, Westmoreland County, Virginia, and died December 26, 1782 in Spartanburg S.C.. He married SARAH BERRY 1738 in Frederick County, Virginia, daughter of JOSEPH BERRY.
John was the illegitimate son of Rev. John² PRINCE and MARGRET PROU.
John moved to the northwest corner of South Carolina and built "Princes Fort." This fort was later overrun by the British and renamed Fair Forest. I have tried to trace two of John C's Sons, William and Henry, both of whom ended up in Caldwell County Ky.

[1] The following is an excerpt of a letter from [Mrs. E. J.] Louise Pullen Niedermaier, member of the Huguenot Society via her ancestor Cyprian Prou. The letter was sent to me in 1996 and I have the full letter.
“I am a member of the Huguenot Society, Founders of Manakin in the Colony of Virginia proving I am a descendant of Cyprian Prou father of Margaret Prou Rymer, and I submitted a supplement on Cyprian Prou through my Prince line and the papers were accepted.”
In addition, Mrs. Niedermaier sent me the following Prince Family Chart.

[4] Even the Wikitree Biography of Sarah [ Berry-3388], states that her husband was John Prince, son of John Prince and Margaret Prou. --- The sources under Sarah, do not appear to support her marriage to John Edmund Prince.
As per the Biographical Directory of the South Carolina Senate (which lists sources in images to show on this profile under images)/all of the information below:
John Prince (1710-1782) Father in law of THOMAS BENSON 9d. 1843), BAYLIS EARLE (1734-1825), and THOMAS FARRAR (1754-1833).

His SECOND WIFE, Mary, whom he married circa 1751, was the mother of the following issue: William, Catherine, Margaret (m. Thomas Farrar), Thomas, Robert, and Martha (m. Thomas Benson).
