added wife est. her birth but add marriage date, Thanks I was hoping I could connect him, I believe he is a grandchild to my Berry's I'm working on I will keep looking.
George Washington Berry and Elizabeth South might be mom and dad. They had land next door to Philip who might have been Elizabeth South's brother.

I thought I had a document but my ancestry went down. Circle just spins and spins, won't lock down. Anyway, maybe try George ?

On some records he is called Wilson William on others William Wilson or Willis or Wilkerson. His birth listed as Maryland in 1860& 80 and PA in 1870.

 She is Dorothy Macrum and Dorothy Terry Markham and/or Doritha born in Georgia.

Probate Record 47 pages: Source: "Alabama Estate Files, 1830-1976," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VNTJ-25Z : 12 December 2014), William Wilson Berry, 1879; citing Russell County courthouse, Alabama; FHL microfilm 2,180,180. 

This is a petition/court case by William and Dorothy Berry, Benjamin F. Marcum and Lucinda Summerkamp?  and others heirs, regarding the division of 5 acres of land in the estate of and  previously owned by Elizabeth Marcum, deceased.

Then starting on page 27 is William Berry's will, written Feb. 17,  1886 naming wife Dorothy Terry Berry,  p. 32 looks like his will was submitted for probate April 5, 1889. Died on Feb. 20, 1889, and p. 33-34 names all the heirs. p. 38 again the heirs, easier to read.

I am interconnected with these folks.  The Berrys came to Blount County, Alabama from Spartanburg along with French, Copelands.  The Berry, French, and Brookshires, who came from North Carolina, are connected

My Ggg grandfather was a French and married margaret Berry, who is probably your William's Aunt.  They named one ot their sons William Hunkapiller, who was killed at Chickamauga in 1863.  Have lots more on this  Berry family and their is a Berry Reunion in Oct. here at the Berry-Brookshire Cemetery at Red Hill near Blount County line.
I'm still trying to get all my lines together got a brother in law Brookshire, I live in Anderson, S.C about 20 minutes from Spartanburg but I'm from Greenville, never been to Alabama but it seems I got lots of kin that moved that way,

Thanks I will try and work on this line more tonight
