Do you ever wonder if your ancestors just picked a name because they liked it? Or they were honoring a friend and not a relative? Stephen Berry (Jr.) and his wife Mary Allen had ten children: 1. John (named for Mary's father John Allen) 2. Tryphenia (named for Stephen's sister or his maternal grandmother) 3. WINGATE (named for ???) 4. Lois (named for ???) 5. Mary (named for her mother) 6.
