Berry is the #242 most common surname in Clan McFarlane in Scotland.

Around 1700 the surname Berry is by far most common in France followed by Massachusetts and Virginia.

Which William Miller is referred to below - ASSUMING William “Millor” noted is actually a William Miller given this is the ONLY “Millor” noted in the index in the back of the source book noted below so could be a transcription error and should read “ William Miller"; (if any of these William’s are William “Millor"):

William Miller-14617; 1710 Lancaster Co., VA -7/20/1777 Goochland Co., VA; husband of Mary Heath.

William Miller-58616; 1715 Lancaster Co., VA - unknown; son of William Miller & Martha Taylor; grandson of Randolph Miller

"Middlesex County, Virginia Wills, Inventories & Accounts, 1673-1812" - by William Lindsay Hopkins - 1989:

4/4/1750 (John Berry has 24 acres surveyed near a Churchill property so likely close to my Miller's properties): "(p.4) 4 Apr 1750...JOHN BERRY...24 acres. Adjoins Philip Grymes, Col. Churchill. Surveyor: Benjamin Smith."

1740's to 1760: John Berry is noted a guardian to at least five children (same source as noted above)

4/2/1755: “John Lewis against Robert Price.

William Taliaferro and William Collier, executors of William Tuggle, decd., against Eusebius “Saby” Lewis and Richard Allen. Wit: Zachariah Shackleford.

James Gibbs, ship carpenter, states that he helped build a sloop for Zachariah Mason. Wit: John Kemp Stone, John Gordon, Thomas Whitley, Robert Murray, Gawin Lowry and Thomas Parmer. Jury: Massey Yarrington, JOHN BERRY, Henry BATCHELDER, John Stamper James Bristow, WILLIAM MILLOR, Robert Daniel, John Taylor, John Thurston, Thomas Brumwell, John Murray and Needles Hill.”

Several of the Jury surnames are tied to my Miller’s:

Mary (Miller) Berry b- 9/26/1715 was the daughter of John Miller, son of Patrick Miller A male Miller married a Dorothy Berry b- Abt. 1750 The juror, Henry Batchelder b- 7/3/1725 (Christ Church) is likely the Henry who was the brother of Joseph Batchelder who married Michael (Miller) Batchelder b- 9/19/1734.

The witness JOHN BERRY in the document above likely IS the John Berry on this WikiTree profile (Berry-11341). It is possible it is his son, but his son would only have been about 20 in 1755.

12/9/1766 (John Berry's will; not sure if daughters noted are adopted or his own children since he was guardian of several children): "(p.291) John Berry... 9 Dec 1766 / 5 May 1767....Wife Mary Berry. Sons John Berry and Robert Berry. Daughter Mary Dudley. Daughter Susanna Marston. Exors: Wife and son John Berry. William Churchill to be gurardian to Son Robert Berry. Wit: Dorothy Davis, John Jackson and John Smith."
