**
A portion of this lineage comes from the book, "Wilkes Family History and Genealogy", by Ivan Ernest Bass, 1965,
whom I have been told is very well researched and very reliable, having been used by many family members as a key
source for entry into the DAR. The book has many more interesting facts, such as their education, occupations and
places of residence, but because of copyright, I will not publish them here. I highly recommend it for those research-
ing these lineages.Berry-Wilkes Family Bible

Martha and Mattie must have been the same daughter. She was probably like many others during this time and started using the name Mattie. However, I did find in the cemetery listing a Martha F. Russell, b. nd - d. November 6, 1873, age 16, daughter of James & S. J. Russell. If the date is indeed the death date and not the birth date, she could not have been their daughter. She would have been the daughter of James Bassel Russell's parents, James & Sabra A. Russell who are
also buried in the cemetery. (The difference would only be between the S. J. & the S. A.) If the date for Martha F. Russell was her date of birth, there could have been a daughter named Martha and also a daughter named Mattie. It does make sense that Sorena Jane would have named a daugh-
ter Martha after her mother, Martha Jane Wilkes.* v. Ora Russell born June 30, 1882, and died February 11, 1967. She married Percy Earl Dumas. He was born July 18, 1883, and died July 04, 1932.

Kendall Berry xii. Myron Berry Hanson and his sister Susannah's dates of births are recorded in the Wilkes - Berry Bible, on the top edge of the page, apart from their own children's births. It does not state that these are children of William, that information comes from researchers, and I know of no way to prove their parentage. If these are indeed children of William, then I would assume that William and Richard had a close relationship, and thus it makes me wonder if the Harrison Berry, aged 18, found in Richard Talley Berry's home in 1850, may also be a son of William Berry. One researcher tells us that Hanson and Susan were raised by Richard Talley Berry, but I think that may be based on the fact that their births are shown in his Bible record.
