If anyone can find any information if Joseph Berry / Beary / Beare .... was a colonel in the military .. I could lay wager that this many be one of their children . She is buryed in the graveyard that many of those family members are buried . I have not found any sources as of yet to identify her more completely .
Also noting that Elizabeth and her second husband Richard Dowse / Douse died on the exact same day .. and the person buried in this find a grave site was buried May of the same year . Would be interesting to know what was going on in Boston in 1759 as for these death dates to be so close together . Thinking there might be a story here .

here is a timeline . It appears that a war was going on in that period . Would like to be able to find more information . But for now this is all I can find . So I am moving on to the next child of Josiah . If anyone finds anything please let me know .

Here is another thought and that is that I noticed with Elizabeth that She married Richard Dowse /Douse .. in the exact same year that it seems that Joseph Berry died .. getting remarried so soon after widowhood implies in my mind in those days .. that their may have been dependents children to attend to . Being she had a large family .

Strike the above discussion . the grave site could not have been a daughter of Joseph Berry ... I did the math and the person in the grave was born way after Joseph Berry had died . . .. .
