This is my great grandfather, but we have no idea where exactly he came from or who his parents were.
I also am looking for the parents of James Polk BERRY, born 1845 in Jackson County, GA.
He married his adopted first cousin, Carolina BERRY (born Rebecca SHEDD). He had a brother named Van Buren and one named Dallas. Carolina's adopted father was Ludwell BERRY.
I think James Polk BERRY's father was named Milton BERRY but have no proof. These people claimed to be Black Dutch and/or part Indian.
Any information would be appreciated.
