His brother, Stephen, also lived to a great age - perhaps as old as his brother, Henry. I do not know whom he married; he raised a considerable family, only two sons, and several daughters ; his sons were Henry (known in later times as Cross Roads Henry), and Andrew Stephen Berry; he was a good citizen, an honest man, bore a good character through life, but not as useful a man as was his brother, Henry - perhaps, not so well educated; he died about 1862.
...
Andrew Berry, a grand-son of the first Andrew, and brother of Cross Roads Henry, lived to the advanced age of eighty-nine, and died only a few years ago; was a harmless, inoffensive man; raised by two wives several sons and daughters- Captain Stephen F. Berry and Bright Berry by the first marriage (the latter of whom is now dead, leaving a considerable family, sons and daughters, names unknown), and by the second marriage, Henry, Nathan, Joseph and two other sons, nicknamed "Close" and "Tight." Nathan married a daughter of Daniel A. Platt, and died, leaving a son named David. Joseph Berry married his brother Nathan's widow, and' has a considerable family. Of the brothers, "Close" and "Tight," the writer knows nothing, and can, therefore, say nothing more. Andrew Berry had several daughters, but knows not to whom they married ; no doubt but that there is a numerous progeny from Andrew (second) Berry, but they are unknown to the writer. ;
