- James Ranson Berry
- Theodor Berry
- Placedia Berry
- Julia Ann Berry
- (From Sandra Hodge:)
- It is believed that his middle name was Ransom.
- From Sandra Hodge to Gordon E. Jones, Jr. (March 2008):
- "What is interesting for Emily (the daughter of James R.) is that in the 1900 census she lists her father as being from Ireland. In the 1910 census she has him from Ireland-England.
- In the 1880 census he is listed as from SC. None of James R other children ever listed him as foreign born, but I believe I mentioned before that South Carolina enumerators were not the best at listing places of birth. I think it perfectly plausible though, that James R. Berry was born in Ireland, -- most from the Sumter area were Scots Irish -- but they usually had emigrated much earlier. Again though, no proof. "
- The 1840 Sumter census (Image pg 25, pg 13) lists four males and four females in the household. In addition, there were 31 slaves, 15 of which were in Agriculture.
- James R. Berry died intestate. His estate was divided among his eight children and wife. Dorcas remarried Dr. Washington H. Brown and had four more children. After Dorcas died, the Brown children brought suit against the Berry Children for partition of their mother's portion of James R. Berry's estate. It went up to the Supreme Court of SC. I have only (writes Sandra Hodge) bits pieces of the suit, so I do not know the exact issues, nor the exact date, but I think it was sometime between 1870 and 1880. I think the Berry's contention was that Dorcas was had only a lifetime interest, and at her death her share reverted to the Berry children. the Brown children probably argued that the land was their mother's outright, and that they were entitled to their share of it. I think the land dispute was over 450 acres, and I do not know who won the case.
- James R. Berry was buried on his own land near “Dead Man’s Curve” in Hodge’s Corner, SC. the grave and tombstone were vandalized and the surrounding area allowed to grow up in weeds. The family of his son, James J. Berry, therefore, placed a memoria marker at the site.
