Arthur P Berry

Other Events:

Notes:

[Arthur had the condition called " tetralogy of Fallot " , or by its common name, " blue baby syndrome " . He died in his early twenties. The cure for this involved a shunt to the heart and was devoloped in 1944 at John Hopkins. May 30, 2004 HBO released the movie that tells this fascinating story:

" SOMETHING THE LORD MADE is the story of two men - an ambitious white surgeon and a gifted black carpenter turned lab technician - who defied the racial strictures of the Jim Crow South and together pioneered the field of heart surgery. "

Notes:

[Sources indicating Wm III Berry is father of this GW Berry and husband of Ann Wyatt Plummer Berry Tarney:

1. Bio of Nathan Wyatt states Ann Wyatt married " James P. Plummer " , then " William Berry " , and finally, Samuel Tarney, Sr. It lists children as given here.
2. Mauer marriages, according to Mike Walters, gives Ann married to Wm " III " Berry.
3. Inscription on family photo of George's mother says " Ann Berry Tarney. ".
4. Family knowledge - Fanny Wyatt and George W. Berry were first cousins.
George W.'s mother was Ann Wyatt [Plummer] Berry Tarney, sister to Sedric Wyatt.

I believe this Wm III Berry of Allen Co, Indiana is the son of Wm Berry, Jr of Virginia as researched by Jim Jackson, et al. at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~berry/

An April 28, 2004 post by Sally Brown to genforum/Wyatt states :

" I recently sent for a copy of the document that Nathan's wife had filled out when she tried to get a widow's pension for his service in the War of 1812. After much scrutiny and using a magnifying glass, I realized her last name was Felton. It DOES look more like " Foltsie " at first glance, but looking closer and comparing it with other written words on the paper, it can be deciphered. I invite other interested descendants to check it for themselves."


I also looked at this document. Her name definitely is not "Pelky." I strongly agree that "Felton" is the most reasonable reading of it. She is said to be 93 on the date the pension application was filed, 31 Jul 1871.

There is also possibly a babtism record 15 Jun 1777 here:

In the Mercer Co. Archives Vol. I (Deed Book I) is the following entry:

A-1-186 Aug 10, 1804. Thomas Felton to Nathan Weyate, $110.00, a tract in Mercer County on Shenango creek inteh 4th districk of donation lands. 100 acres bounded east by "corner of my track, on which I now live", west by Thomas and John Cannon. Ack: Thomas Felton and wife Mary. Rec: Jan 5, 1805.

In the Mercer Co. History, 1888, I see Nathan Wyatt mentioned on page 592 as an early settler in Shenango Twp., and on page 632 as a Shenango Twp. official (an overseer) in 1813.

On page 148, Thomas Felton is in the list of taxables for 1800, and is a township official (an appraiser) for Shenango Twp. in 1806.]--Lynne Nuibe at http://genforum.genealogy.com/pa/mercer/messages/684.html
