Email from DeeDee Lonon, 2/6/03: My grandfather's bible listed Essic asBerry's father. We know that Berry was fair-skinned. In the newspaper, ifyou recall, we saw that his death announcement claimed that his whiteneighbors thought highly of him. Rose was in the Hampton Finley familyfor many, many years. According to one of the earlier censuses, sheappeared to be the only female in the household for a while. It seemsthat the Mrs. had passed away. I believe that she and one of the whiteFinleys were Berry's parents, but who knows which? It could have beenHampton, his dad, or even someone else who worked on the farm.
In 1880 Census, Rose's age is listed as 87, making a birthyear of 1793.

,,,Fifthly, I give and bequeath to my son David Devenport my negro girl Rose, likewise my negro girl Seal, my negro boy Tom...
Also mentioned are two adult slaves, Crismas and Selbey. This looks to be a family group. Speculation: Crismas and Selbey are Rose's parents, Seal and Tom her siblings. This would match the patttern of slaveholding I have observed in the Piedmont region.

...five negroes, one negro woman by the name of Rose age 24 years, one negro girl named Melia age 8 years old, one negro boy named John age 6 years and one negro boy called Tom age 4 years and one negro girl named Lewisa age 2 years old...
Speculation: the children are Rose's, born while she was owned by the Davenport family. This would fit the pattern of slaveholding I have observed in the Piedmont region of South Carolina.
