Berry Family Cemetery
Rye, Rockingham County, New Hampshire
This listing was contributed by James McCoomb (now deceased) of Newnan,
Georgia.

Joseph W. Berry, where are you? This listing of the Berry Family
Cemetery is a by-product of my beginning search for my maternal great
"grampa" and great "gramma", Rosey, or, Rosa.
Rosey is listed as being from both NH and Ireland on her two known children’s
birth certificates. Their first child William Henry, (my Grandfather)
and his sister Ruth A., were both born in Lowell Massachusetts on Sept.
2, 1870, and Dec. 26, 1871, respectively. Since Rosey may be from
NH, it might be that Joseph may have met her there and therefore a descendant
of the early Berry settlers in the southern New Hampshire region.
He was employed as an "Operative" and also as a "Spinner"
when my grandfather and his sister were born.
Please contact me by if you have any information about Joseph W. Berry,
his wife, Rosey (or Rosa), or daughter Ruth A. Berry, or, know of any
published Berry family genealogy book. I have over 400 Berry descendants
in my computer file and will share this information with you on request.
Most of the Berry information on file and listed below came from the
book, History of Rye.
From the history book, ….. John Berry is said to have been the
first settler in Rye or Sandy Beach. He probably was the son of
William Berry, one of those sent out by Mason for his plantation, and
who was at Portsmouth as early as 1631 (Savage). William died
before June 1654. His widow, Jane, married Nathaniel Drake.
January, 1648/49, at a town meeting held at Strawberry Bank, "Granted
that Wm Berry shall have a lot upon the neck of land upon the South
side of the Little River at Sandy Beach."
The Berry Family Cemetery in Rye, NH is located on Breakfast Hill Road
approximately 0.3 miles from Route 1. A stone fence about three
foot high surrounds this well kept family burial ground. The gate
is six foot wide and built of tubular steel and fence wire that opens
to the road. The enclosed area is approximately 30 X 40 feet in
dimension and sits surrounded by a wooded tract of land. It’s
a perfect setting for the final resting place of a few Berry families
who lived in that area.
