    "In a “Miscellaneous Abstract from a Pre-Civil War Cheraw newspaper” there is listed under “SHERIFF’S SALES” (pg. 2). 400 acres of land, more or less on Little Black Creek, bounded on the North by Burgess Hubbard’s land, on the east by McNairs’s land, on the west by John Cato’s land, and on the south by lands of unknown, levied on as the property of Samuel Berry at the suit of Daniel McLaughlan, vs. Samuel Berry. The said land to be sold subject to the general and poor tax for the year 1822. These sales were done by A. McDonald, S.C.D. sheriff’s Office, Chesterfield District on Dec. 6, 1823 and recorded Dec 12, 1823."

    The name of Samuel's wife in the Biography posted to a Family Tree in Ancestry.com is undocumented, and lacks consistency with documentary evidence for the name of his wife. Similarly, middle names have been given for Samuel and several children, without, in most instances, any documentation or evidence.

  8. Samuel Berry of 1820 and husband of Ann Meador as the same person as Samuel Berry in 1830 in Greene, Alabama:
    The most common migrations routes for people from Chesterfield families associated with the Meador family during this period seems to be to Georgia and then Alabama, or directly to Alabama, with the possibility of migration to Tennessee. Of the Samuel Berrys in the 1830 US Census for those states, only one, the Samuel Berry in Greene County, Alabama, was of age to be the same Samuel Berry in 1820 in Chesterfield, South Carolina. The Greene County, Alabama family also has a family structure that is consistent with that of the 1820 South Carolina family.
  9. Samuel Berry in the 1820 US Census as the husband of Ann Meador:
    This is the only Samuel Berry in census records at a time and place to be Ann's husband. It is also consistent with the claim that he owned land adjacent to that of Ann's brother-in-law, sold for back taxes in 1823.
