Thomas J. Berry witnessed a deed dated May 14, 1818 in Claiborne County, Tennessee, where Harmon Hurst and his wife Elizabeth sold 40 acres in the Limestone Valley for $30 to Thomas Berry (probably the father of Thomas J. Berry). On September 21, 1824 in Claiborne County, Tennessee, Thomas J. Berry sold his interest in a slave boy named Penkney to Delila and Winney Hurst. This was actually Mary’s interest in the slave, which she inherited when her father died in 1822. In the estate settlement of her father John Hurst, there was a receipt dated October 29, 1825 for $173.20 from Thomas J. Berry and Polly Berry.
Starting in September of 1828, Thomas J. Berry, along with his father Thomas Berry, were taken to court a number of times. Some of these involved incidents where a Peace Warrant was taken out against the men. One of these Peace Warrants was taken out by James Jenkings, March 20, 1828. The Court ordered Thomas J. Berry, along with his wife Mary Berry to be good toward Jenkings for 1 year and 1 day and post a bond of $200. Delila Hurst sued Thomas J. Berry, probably over a debt, on September 23, 1829. In 1830, Thomas J. Berry and Mary Berry witnessed a bill of sale in Claiborne County where Elijah Hurst sold a slave girl named Darcus to Delila Hurst. Thomas J. Berry was listed on p.149, line 8 of the 1830 census of Claiborne County, Tennessee. He was listed one line above Nancy Hurst, aged 60-70, who was his mother-in-law.
According to the minutes of the Big Spring Primitive Baptist Church, William Hurst was excluded from the congregation on the second Saturday in April 1837 for “killing Jefferson Berry.” The minutes said “Hurst said he thought it was the only means he had of saving his own life and not having a proper travel of mind on the same.” William Hurst is undoubtedly the brother of Jefferson’s wife.
