Note: According to the 1880 census Milton Berry (sic) and his wife Mahala were listed with a son, Larkin age two, a newborn daughter, and Milton's mother Sarah all living together. Milton, Mahala, and Sarah all state that they and their parents were born in Alabama. Sarah is listed as a widow.Milton Rice BERREY Born: 1856 at: Alabama Married: 24 Dec 1876 at: Montgomery, AL Census: 1880 at: Montgomery Co., AL (Download Census Image) Census: 1900 at: Pike Co., AL (Download Census Image) Census: 1910 at: Crenshaw Co., AL (Download Census Image) Died: 2 Feb 1914 at: Burial: Petrey Cemetery, Petrey, Crenshaw County, Alabama Father: Larkin S.
