Teague BARRY

Notes:

Name:
Very little can be discovered about him except that on June 12, 1672, he bought of Samuel Bennett thirty acres of land at Rumney Marsh; at that transaction his name was signed "Teague-a-barrow". At a later date, he is called "Teago Up Barrow". Again still later, "Tugo Barry"; in 1701, it is "Teago Berry" and in 1681, "Teago Up barrow". Again in 1687, it is "Teageo Bary" and in 1688, "Teago Barry". In 1695 the land was in the possession of "Thaddeus Barry", presumably his sonm showing that the father had probably died between 1688 and 1695. In a letter of William Jenks of Boston, to Alonzo Lewis, dated Jan. 8, 1844, and printed in the N.E. Reg., 9, pp. 201-209, in speaking of his grandfather, Capt. John Jenks, he says: "in 1720, he married his first wife, my grandmother, in chelsea. She was of a family that called themselves Berry, several of which English name was respectable in Lynn. But her family name was, in fact Barry, and the father of her father, Thaddeus, came from Ireland, a man in humble life. His son, Thomas, however, my great-grandfather, by a blessing on his good habits, was able at his decease to bequeath his daughter, Elizabeth, on hundred pounds."
