According to James William Middleton Berry, 1848, this John Berry, who was disinherited for marrying Miss Sweetman, a Catholic, was father of Thomas Berry. However, Lorton Wilson indicates that he was the brother of Thomas.

G3

Thomas was a landowner in the Parish of Killucan.,Co. Westmeath, Ireland. He is the first family member for whom I have documentary evidence. According to  family legend he was descended from John Berry of Middleton in Wales and the Berry family of Berrynarbor, Devon. There is documentary evidence that the Berry family of Berrynarbor, owned property in the 16th and 17th Centuries  on the Gower Peninsular, South Wale, where there was a place called ‘Middleton’.

G4

John lived at Killenlehan (Broadwood) in  the Parish of Castletown-Kindalen, Co. Westmeath.

The claim of the Berrys to descent from Oliver Cromwell has been disproved by Sir Edmund Bewley. In fact the family was descended from Thomas Fleetwood of Kilbeggan Co. Westmeath, who was a Royalist uncle of the Cromwellian General and Lord Deputy, Charles Fleetwood.
