Peter Berry Sr…..or?
« on: October 14, 2022, 06:26:41 PM »
Peter Berry Sr. Grandmaster Pennsylvania Kentucky Long rifle maker was my 6th Great Grandfather on my maternal side. My mother was a Berry, a direct descendant of Peter’s son Nicholas.
I have only had one opportunity to get close to one of my grandfather’s works in 2019 at Winterthur.
I have gathered some information about his life during a quest to find any of his pieces for viewing on an adventure from Harrisburg to Wolmersdorf to York to Lancaster back to Lebanon to Myerstown. I would be great full to collaborate with any members who admire his works and who are also curious about the mysteries surrounding his beautifully crafted personal rifles.

As I have heard,
Their out there, but where?

One of my favorite makers. Thank you
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
