Berry, John Jr. - Hyde County, NC - Miscellaneous Submitted for use in the USGenWeb Project Archives by Hyde County NCGenWeb (jmack@bbs.carolina.net) DAY BOOK of JOHN BERRY, JR. Below is the Day Book for John Berry, Jr. (1817-1898) for the years 1841-1849. He lived in the Juniper Bay area of Hyde County and was a farmer. He was also the captain of a boat used for carrying produce to markets in nearby Washington, New Bern and Beaufort, NC. It is a list of accounts for various goods which he obtained for his friends and neighbors to bring back on his return trip. Among the most popular items were molasses, whiskey, tobacco and boots and shoes. Below I have listed the names on each page and the corresponding date, if there was one. This small book is very fragile and the writing is often dim and difficult to read. However, if anyone would like to know what the account of a particular person was, I will send them the information. Email me for the person you would like information on, giving the page number and date. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Mis Stergils Washington, N.
