If you can, please help!

Hi!  

I am also from a line of Green's MS, but in Copiah.  Do you have any other info on Berry -- year born or parents or spouse?  I did a quick look-up on Ancestry and found several things.

Carmen, 

The only thing I could find with that information was a census.  I'm pretty sure this is him:

 

"United States Census, 1860", database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M6GD-SR7 : 18 February 2021), Berry Green, 1860.

In 1850, a person with that name is living with a couple by the name of Meeks.  Looking at the ages, this might be his sister:

 

 

"United States Census, 1850," database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M4LZ-TVC : 22 December 2020), Berry Green in household of Herbert Meeks, Jasper, Mississippi, United States; citing family , NARA microfilm publication (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.).

Also, are you confident with Mary Ann's last name?  I did find a marriage record but the spouse is Mary Roberts.  They are married in Fulton, MS in 1849.

I hope this helps!  Happy hunting!

Denise,

That's interesting that you found a record of Fulton, MS when all this time I thought they were married in Campbell County, GA! There is a record that I've found that says this as well and it is listed as a source online too. I've seen the hand-written document that was scanned into Ancestry.
CAn you help me to track the one with Fulton, MS? I'd like to compare it with the other one I've found. The date is in January of 1849.

Also, I've found lots of my kinfolks that have Mary Waldrup listed as his wife and I even have some ancestry links to DNA with Waldrups from the Jasper County area in MS.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I must have found something else -- this time I'm only finding the one you have.  I started going down a rabbit hole and, well, you know ... :-)

I found some of my Green's in Georgia, so we might be related - you never know!!
