Swan Quarter
You may recall that I have a Swan Quarter Berrys (I liked the name) database of Hyde Co., NC Berrys that I gleaned from the various censuses from 1850 through 1930 supplemented with information from the Hyde Co. GenWeb pages. I can't recall now whether we have more than one Swan Quarter Berry tested but I do know that Johnny, #117, from that group has and matches the Spartanburg Co., SC Berrys. There were and are so many Berrys in Hyde Co. that I can't tell which direction the migration may have gone - the two areas are not that proximate.

You may also recall (or not) that during Berry Beach Week last year I traveled to Fulford Cemetery in Hyde Co. to photograph the Berry gravestones there. I now have that online here. It is very strange that both the Soule Cemetery and the Fulford Cemetery are overrun with Berry gravestones while the Amity Church graveyard just a short distance away contained nary a one.
