      •Name: John J. DERRYBERRY
      •Surname: Derryberry
      •Given Name: John J.
      •Sex: M
      •Birth: ABT 1710 1
      •Death: ABT 1789 in Morganton, Burke Co., North Carolina

      [Derryber.ged]
      He is not listed as Sr. in records found, but is shown as Sr. here to
      diffrentiate him from the younger John that was in Burke Co. at that time.
      The use of Jr., at that time, simply meant the younger of two people with
      like names. John, Jr. is not proven, but assumed, to be John, Sr's son.
      Hisparents are not proven. Here are the clues. Until such time as
      conclusive proof is found, then his parents are subjective. The known
      clues
      are presented here for those who care to decide for themslves who they
      believe the progenator to be.
      The J. could stand for Jacob and the name tranlated from Hans Jacob
      Durrenberger or Johann Jacob Durrenberger. According to Daniel Debus, an
      Alsatian who may prove related, who lives in France, says that in
      Alsatian pronunciation Durrenberger (with
      the umlatted u) would sound like Derryberry orDerreberri. The
      Durenbergers of Mertzweiller or Griesbach, Alsace are welldocumented.
      Some Derryberry researcher, believes that John's father's last name
      was Dewsbury, changed to Derryberry. The name Dewsbury is found in
      Essex, Elizabeth City, Isle of Wight and in Scurry, Sussex, Middlesex,
      York and and Brunswick, England. The
      Dewsberry in Essex Co., VA is shown only one time found as something like
      Derryberry. It could well be a mis-spelling by an illiterate clerk since
      it is found only one time. Without better proof, subjection only, I
      doubt any connection between those
      and my Derryberrys.
      A list of imagrants lists the emigration of Stefan, Jan/Hans Michael
      and Jon/Johann Jacob Dürrenberger who arrived on the Robert and Oliver
      (ship) 11 Sep 1737-38,out of Rotterdam with German Palatines. The
      surnames as shown variously as Durabary,
      Durenberger, Tiereberger and Derryberry. George's will listed a son
      caller John Tiereberger. He is also referred to as John Durenberger.
      There are currently Terryberrys in the Sussex Co., NJ area. They may, or
      may not, be related. However, it
      appears that the will filed in Sussex Co., NJ in 1767 tends to indicate a
      strong probability.
      No proof has been found that widow Derryberry in Burke Co, NC in late
      1700s was John's widow or that she wasAnna; however there is strong
      evidence to her name being Anna. Various records show her as Ann. It is
      therorized that John was not a son
      of George Derryberry, but was a son of Joseph Dürrenberger and Anna
      Margaretha Bastain fromAlsace area that was then Germany but now in
      France.
      Three brothers arrivedin Philadelphia, PA from Rotterdam on the *********
      Robert and Oliver on 11 Sep 1738,Jacob b 1717, Stephen b. 1711 and
      Michael b. 1716, sons of Hans Peter and EvaCatherine Dürrenberger,
      according to D. A. Kastens.. Mr Kastens has
      researched extensivly in the German Palatine, and some in Straubourg and
      published several books on Palatine church records, Their last names have
      been recordedas Dürrenberger, Durnberger, Dureberry, Terryberry and
      possibly others varaiations. 'One
      Hundred and Eighteenth Anniversary of the Settlement of New Jersey by the
      Germns and the Sesqui-centennial of German Valley 1713 - 1893', a small
      book found in the Morristown, NJ Library, states that the Robert and
      Oliver arrived Philadelphia 11 Sep
      1738, Walter Goodman, Commander, last from Dover with 320 passengers,
      that among the passengers were Stephan Durabercher or Steven 'Stoffe'
      Terriberry and Hans Mich. Torenberger. It does not mentionJacob,
      leading me to believe he settled elsewhere,
      possibly Lehigh, PA, where Jacob and Anna Bastain were supposedly
      married.in the Jordan Lutheran Church. Descendants have been found in
      northwest NJ using the name Derraberry upinto the mid 1800s. Found on
      the Terryberry web site that Hans Peter
      Dürrenberger (Terryberry) married Eva Catherine ______ 25 Sep 1708 at

      Note:
      John died about 1789, Morganton, Burke Co., NC. He is not listed as Sr. in records found, but is shown as Sr. here to differentiate him from the younger John that was in Burke Co. at that time. The use of Jr., at that time, simply meant the younger of two people with like names. John, Jr. is not proven, but assumed, to be John, Sr's son. His parents are not proven. Here are the clues. Until such time as conclusive proof is found, then his parents are subjective. The known clues are presented here for those who care to decide for themselves who they believe the progenitor to be.
      Some Derryberry researchers believe that John's father's last name was Dewsbury, changed to Derryberry. The name Dewsbury is found in Essex, Elizabeth City, Isle of Wight and in Scurry, Sussex, Middlesex, York and Brunswick, England. The Dewsberry in Essex Co., VA is shown only one time found as something like Derryberry. It could well be a mis-spelling by an illiterate clerk since it is found only one time. Without better proof, subjection only, I doubt any connection between those and my Derryberrys.
      It is noted that there were people referred to as Derraberry in both Morris co., NJ and Burke Co., NC in the late 1700s. Those in Burke Co. got referred to by other variations, such as Derriberry and Derreberry, the latter of which is still used by many NC family members. This stronger clues to me of the origin of the name, but not proof until better information is discovered.
      No proof has been found that widow Derryberry in Burke Co, NC in late1700s was John's widow or that she was Anna; however there is strong evidence to her name being Anna. Various records show her as Ann. It is theorized that John was a son of Joseph Dürrenberger and Anna Margaretha Bastain from Alsace area that was then Germany but now in France.
      Our John was in Burke Co., NC before 1778. He may have lived in Essex and Surrey Counties, VA before going to Burke Co. He is possibly the John Derryberry who had land in Cape May, NJ, found listed in a deed there of land joining that owned by John Derryberry.
      This John owned land in Burke Co., VA in 1779, according to deed records. The Journal of Burke Co., NC Genealogy, Vol. 4, p. 50, item 388, lists him receiving 100 acres on both sides of Kennedy's Fork of the Silver Creek joining land owned by Michael Derryberry, recorded 28 Oct 1782.
      Ron Jones in his book on the Derreberry branch refers to Ann as "Widow Derreberry".
      There was a John Derreberry in the 7th Regt., Burke Militia re: page 446 of Revised Edition of The History of NC 1777-1920, probably his son John.
      Some give an eighth child, Hannah, but Guy Derryberry believes this is John Jr's. widow.
      There is controversy and doubt that all the children attributed to this couple were actually their children. Some may actually belong to other Derryberry families of the area, such as his brothers, or their children.
      Various lines of the family voice the belief that there is American Indian heritage in the family. The strongest seems to come from the Adam, Jacob and Daniel lines. No proof has come out of the source of these beliefs that have been passed down through the generations. However, with the sketchiness of the NC 18th century records, the unproven but strongly indicated family groups and the relating that the ones from that generation or series of generations spoke very poor English, indicates that if there is genuine American Indian heritage it may well have come through John's wife Anna, according to Guy Fay Derryberry. There were many marriages between frontiersmen and Cherokee women. They were seldom recorded as Indian women.
      Another indication is in the fact that Derryberrys of that era were described as having dark complexions, dark brown to black hair and about 5 feet 10 inches tall, a total absence of light complexions, blonde or red hair. This tends to point to one of two heritage sources: American Indian or Black Dutch origin. Black Dutch

      Note:
      "to have George go to VA and his son back to NJ, before going to NC does not fit the normal migration pattern. Further, only one time has been found where reference to him or his (possibly adopted) son used Derryberry, and in
      that case, the name being written in longhand and then not well formed letters, leaves it questionable.
      I refer to "Essex Co. Deeds and Wills", #13, page 430 - 431; "Index of Marriages of Old Rappahannock & Essex Co., VA", Book 2, page 52. I have looked at the originals referred to in those books and the spellings to me are far from Derryberry."

      I am quoted verbatim, including errors in this disertation in which I state emphatically that John's parents are not proven. Yet he is shown with parents, grand parents and great grand parents here. If anyone has proof, other than what someone has listed with LDS, I beg of them to present the proof. Otherwise, not it as suspect. Thank you.

      •Sex: M
      •Birth: 1710 in Essex Co., Virginia 2
      •Note:
      [Hutchins.FTW]

      John died about 1789, Morganton, Burke Co., NC. He is not listed as Sr. in records found, but is shown as Sr. here to differentiate him from the younger John that was in Burke Co. at that time. The use of Jr., at that time, simply meant the younger of two people with like names. John, Jr. is not proven, but assumed, to be John, Sr's son. His parents are not proven. Here are the clues. Until such time as conclusive proof is found, then his parents are subjective. The known clues are presented here for those who care to decide for themselves who they believe the progenitor to be.

      Some Derryberry researcher, believes that John's father's last name was Dewsbury, changed to Derryberry. The name Dewsbury is found in Essex, Elizabeth City, Isle of Wight and in Scurry, Sussex, Middlesex, York and Brunswick, England. The Dewsberry in Essex Co., VA is shown only one time found as something like Derryberry. It could well be a mis-spelling by an illiterate clerk since it is found only one time. Without better proof, subjection only, I doubt any connection between those and my Derryberrys.

      It is noted that there were people referred to as Derraberry in both Morris co., NJ and Burke Co., NC in the late 1700s. Those in Burke Co. got referred to by other variations, such as Derriberry and Derreberry, the latter of which is still used by many NC family members. This stronger clues to me of the origin of the name, but not proof until better information is discovered.

      No proof has been found that widow Derryberry in Burke Co, NC in late 1700s was John's widow or that she was Anna; however there is strong evidence to her name being Anna. Various records show her as Ann. It is theorized that John was a son of Joseph Dürrenberger and Anna Margaretha Bastain from Alsace area that was then Germany but now in France.

      Our John was in Burke Co., NC before 1778. He may have lived in Essex and Surrey Counties, VA before going to Burke Co. He is possibly the John Derryberry who had land in Cape May, NJ, found listed in a deed there of land joining that owned by John Derryberry.

      This John owned land in Burke Co., VA in 1779, according to deed records. The Journal of Burke Co., NC Genealogy, Vol. 4, p. 50, item 388, lists him receiving 100 acres on both sides of Kennedy's Fork of the Silver Creek joining land owned by Michael Derryberry, recorded 28 Oct 1782.

      Ron Jones in his book on the Derreberry branch refers to Ann as "Widow Derreberry".

      There was a John Derreberry in the 7th Regt., Burke Militia re: page 446 of Revised Edition of The History of NC 1777-1920, probably his son John.

      Some give an eighth child, Hannah, but Guy Derryberry believes this is John Jr's. widow.

      There is controversy and doubt that all the children attributed to this couple were actually their children. Some may actually belong to other Derryberry families of the area, such as his brothers, or their children.

      Various lines of the family voice the belief that there is American Indian heritage in the family. The strongest seems to come from the Adam, Jacob and Daniel lines. No proof has come out of the source of these beliefs that have been passed down through the generations. However, with the sketchiness of the NC 18th century records, the unproven but strongly indicated family groups and the relating that the ones from that generation or series of generations spoke very poor English, indicates that if there is genuine American Indian heritage it may well have come through John's wife Anna, according to Guy Fay Derryberry. There were many marriages between frontiersmen and Cherokee women. They were seldom recorded as Indian women.

      Another indication is in the fact that Derryberrys of that era were described as having dark complexions, dark brown to black hair and about 5 feet 10 inches tall, a total absence of light complexions, blonde or red hair. This tends to point to one of two heritage sources: American Indian or Black Dutch origin. Black Dutch refers to a human strain produced by the invading Roman Army intermarrying with Germanic or mid-European women. The resultant children had mixed Roman and Germanic features. These are areas that future family researchers may find revealing with the advent of more information available that was in the past.

      John probably married Anna before coming to NC. If he is the Hans Jacob who arrived in 1738, then he married her in Alsace and she was Anna Margareta Bastain, instead of Anna Buck as has been surmised.

      In "Tenacity and Adversity...", by Edward D. Roundtree, found in the VA State Library, it tells about the great road in the early 1700s. "There was one road 435 miles long leading from PA into NC. This great road lead out of Philadelphia in a westerly direction by" Lancaster and York to Winchester, VA, through Shenandoah Valley to Staunton and Roanoke, where it turned southeast to cross the Blue Ridge Mountains (probably following the Staunton River through the mountains), then divided with a branch leading to Winston-Salem, NC. There it connected with the "Trading Path" just north of the Yadkin River at Trading Ford (east of Salisbury a few miles) continuing to Salisbury, then southwest by Concord to Carlotte and on to Columbia, SC. The Trading Trail was not wide enough for a wagon, but was used by pack animals to move trade goods. The Derryberrys probably came that way.

      Anna's maiden name is believed by some to be Buck, since a son carries Buck as a middle name. This was a custom of the time, on up to early 20th century, in which case, her father may have been Andrew Buck. It is possible that she was Anna Margaretha Bastain, wife of Jacob Durrenberger, brother to Hans Michael/Michel of NJ. Teresa Jones has strong clues that Jacob Durrenberger was our progenitor. She hopes to find records that will prove or disprove her theory in her lifetime.

      Dee Ann Shipp Buck, a Derryberry researcher, believes that John's father's last name was Dewsbury, changed to Derryberry. The name Dewsbury is found in Essex, Elizabeth City, Isle of Wight and in Scurry, Sussex, Middlesex, York and Brunswick, England. Our John was in Burke Co., NC before 1778. He may have lived inEssex and Surrey Counties, VA before going to Burke Co. It appears to me thatour

      I challenge you, or anyone who claims this ancestry for John Derryberry, to prove it. The only evidence I have ever seen is very questionable. I would welcome proof of this claim.
