Letter from Robert Berry to the Henry Co. Indiana Historical Society, 1976
"25 March 1976
Robert D. Berry, 3637 West 7990 South, West Jordan, Utah, 84084

Dear Society, I am interested in the History of Henry County, as many of my ancestors settled in this area during the early and middle 1800's. My great great Grandfathers' name was Alex Berry (Charles A. Berry); born in Kentucky about 1835 and was married to a Martha Davis on 18 Jan 1852 in Henry County. [note: Henry County has a marriage record of Martha Davis to a different Charles Berry on this date-a Charles Pittman Berry, son of Benjamin Berry and Sarah Frank Haynes. Charles Alexander Berry was either in Daviess Co., IN or Mason Co. KY at this time.] They Settled in Liberty Township and Had four children. They were Matthew, William Madison (my great grandfather), Charles, and Luther. Alex Berry then married a Mary E. Peed and had 6 or 7 more children. William Madison Berry married a Rosetta Waymire in 1879 and settled in New Castle.

If you can help me, send me any information or proof of any information stated above about the Berry family, the Davis Family, the Peed Family, the Waymire Family, and the William M. Shults Family as they all came from the NewCastle area. These families are probably buried in the South Mound Cemetery in NewCastle as this is the Berry Family cemetery.

I am compiling a family history book and am needing information. I understand there was a fire at the Henry County Courthouse years ago and destroyed many records. Please send me any information that might help me.

Thank You, [signed] Robert D. Berry

[response typed on bottom of this letter]  Dear Mr. Berry:

I find that a William Berry enter land in Spiceland Township in 1821. That is all the information I find on him. Many years ago I knew a Hazel Shults who married a Claud Berry, son of William Berry. It could not be the one mentioned above, obviously. Her brother, William Shultz still lives here at ....You might contact him. Sorry we can not give you more information. A Wm. Berry was buried in Knightstown Cemetery Oct, 22, 1846. No information.

Sincerely,  [signed]  Mary E. Coldwell, Curator"
