Yes!  I knew there was another "berry" name
in the same period but couldn't think of it.
 
The Wikipedia search for Greenberrys was a
good idea.  Maybe we should look for Little-
berrys too.  The prominent local man naming
pattern has caused me no end of frustration
in looking for collateral lines that weren't
there -- when you have people named things
like Greenberry and Mareen (and HOW did he
get THAT name; I've always wondered, because I have family in that area too) the
thought comes early, but these "John Nelsons" (and I've got a "Robert Clark" in a
family without Clarks) can make you crazy.
 
Then, on both sides of my husband's family,
children were named for Sir Walter Scott
characters. . .
