GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF BAKNSTABLE FAMILIES. 139
From these two sons of Richard, John and Samuel,
)joth of whom sustained good characters and were useful
citizens, the numerous families of the name of Berry on the
Cape appear to descend. As it is not a Barnstable name I
shall not trace the family farther. Among the descendants
of Richard, are many active and successful business men,
and shipmasters, and they probably would not have succeeded
any better in the world if their ancestor had been
one of the most pious and distinguished among the Pilgrim
fathers.
