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?
