family? The only other piece of information about them is that Mrs. B.
had a niece named Susan BRANFORD of Charleston

I have wills for Jacob and Catherine recorded in Charleston Co. on 2-12-1800
for Jacob and recorded on October 30, 1801 for Catherine. They had 2 daughter
Catherine and Susannah. Catherine married __BERRYand Susannah married __WESTNER.
The BERRY that Catherine married is my ggggrandfather, but I am unable
to find his given name. They had one child, Alexander BERRY born 1797.
There was an Alexander BERRY in Charleston that had a shop at 35 King St.
in The 1796 city directories and he was listed as shoemaker. I have been
unable to find a connection between the two Alexander BERRYs, but it seems
they must be father and son. The father of Alexander born in 1797 must
have passed away soon after his son was born. Alexander son of Catherine
Nuirt And unknown BERRY is mentioned in the will of Jacob NUIRT. Anyone

and died 1942 and was buried in Summerville, SC at the Zion Baptist Church.
He was never married. He also had a brother who lived near him much of

resided in McClellanville at one point. He was also born in NC 1866 and
died 1932. Birth was listed wrong as well on his death certificate as 1864.
Married to Florence SCOTT last who was his 3rd marriage. Why were the births
wrong? The names of the parents were wrong on C.O.'s not even knowing the
mother's name. Same with John. The children apparently didn't know who
their grandparents were who gave the info. Parents were Richard S. PAGE
(1832-1912) and Sarah Elizabeth BENNETT (1834-1908), both from Clinton,

since been in contact with a great grandson in the SC area, but he may
not know more than myself. Benjamin married a Joanna or Johanna BATY, and
they had 8 children all in Alabama by 1873. I would be grateful to learn

b.1860 in SC married to Anna Elizabeth SCHRINER
b. 1872 in SC married in Charleston (I think) by a Rev.
Lewis NICHOLS in 1893. I think they were Seventh Day Adventists.
Anna's parents are listed on her death certificate as Henry SCHRINER
from Scotland and Mary McGEE from USA but
her wedding invitation lists a Cecile LEWIS
who lived at 12 Henrietta Street in Charleston as her mother. The wedding
reception card lists Richard's uncle J.T. WILLIAMS
( who also worked for the railroad I think) as hosting the event which
was held at 147 Grand Street Charleston. Richard worked for the B&
O Railroad as a valet to the President of B&O until his death in 1912.
Richard and Anna moved to NJ about 1897 and had 3 children. I am searching
