The 1820 household of Joseph's father was enumerated at Dryden, Tompkins Co., New York. The census count is 120201-20110. The young male age 0-9, or born ca 1810-1820, is believed to be Joseph Berry.
Joseph's family migrated from Tompkins Co., New York to Bradford Co., Pennsylvania in the mid-1830s. Joseph's name appears on the Bradford County tax rolls in the 1836 and 1837 book years. His property was located in Springfield Twp., Bradford County.
Joseph married Caroline GALUSHA on 08 Feb 1838 at Bradford Co., Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Oliver and Abigail CURTIS Galusha. She was born in New York, circa 1823.
The Bradford County tax roll for the 1839 book year indicates Joseph was a non-resident of Springfield Township and his property had been transferred to Alvin Parmenter.
Joseph, wife Caroline and their children are enumerated in the 1850 census at Athens Twp., Bradford Co., Pennsylvania. He is aged 37 years and born in New York. His occupation is Laborer.

Family history relates that Joseph died of disease on 08 Dec 1864 in a hospital at Chattanooga, Tennessee. A publication titled "Memorial of the Grand River Valley" states “Joseph Berry; 25th I., Co. B Nashville, December 15, 1864.” A study of the 25th Infantry Regiment history relates the regiment participated in the Battle of Nashville that occurred December 15-16, 1864. The history of the Nashville National Cemetery states "Established in 1867, the original interments were the remains of Union soldiers removed from temporary burial grounds around Nashville’s general hospitals,". Perhaps, Joseph Berry's family history erred regarding the location of the hospital where he died. The distance between Chattanooga and Nashville is about 135 miles.
