...
Another family of Berrys may be noted, to wit: Samuel J. Berry's family.
...
The Samuel J. Berry's family, mentioned above, was a direct descendant from either John or Andrew. Samuel J. Berry died some years ago, leaving a family of three sons, Madison, Wilson and Stephen, and perhaps some daughters ; he was a volunteer soldier in the Florida Seminole War, in a company from Marion, commanded by Captain and formed a part of the battalion commanded by Major W. W. Harllee. The writer procured a pension for Samuel J. Berry's widow, which she yet, if living, receives from the United States government. Samuel J. Berry was an unpretentious man, a quiet and peaceable citizen, honest to the cent, but little known outside his neighborhood ; his three sons, Madison, Wilson and Stephen, are of like character, honoring their departed father and perpetuating his name and many virtues. ;

!NOTE:She was named as neice of Abraham Dew (d 1851), but her parents were not given, but she was listed with other children of Wilson Dew, and named one of hers "Wilson" so seems reasonable that she was Wilson's child;
