BERRY OF BOVEY TRACEY

Joseph Berry may have been a son of William Berry who married Eleanor Hayward at Lustleigh on 21 January 1646/47. Records of the manor of Wreyland show that Joseph Berry succeeded William Berry in 1697.[1]

Although several events involving Joseph Berry are recorded in the Lustleigh parish registers, he is stated in more than one of the entries to be of Bovey Tracey.
