John Berry (Royal Navy officer)
Admiral Sir John Berry (1635 – 14 February 1689 or 1690) was an English naval officer of the Royal Navy, and was in 1675 the captain of the annual convoy to Newfoundland that took place during the years of the colony's founding. Berry's advocacy of the right of the small number of settlers to remain in Newfoundland, which was opposed by the British Committee for Trade and Plantations, was an important factor in determining the future course of European settlement in Newfoundland.
==Origins==
Berry was born at Knowstone, North Devon, the second of seven sons of Rev. Daniel Berry (1609-1654), vicar of Knowstone ''cum'' Molland in North Devon by his wife Elizabeth Moore, daughter of Sir John Moore of Moorehayes, Burlescombe, Devon.〔Prince, John, Worthies of Devon, 1810 edition, pp.68-73, biography of Sir John Berry〕〔Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitation of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.573, pedigree of Moore〕 Daniel Berry held the benefice freehold and had inherited it from his father, but was violently deprived of his position and livlihood during the Civil War. Sir John in 1684 erected a mural monument in Molland Church, which survives, which relates the injustices suffered by his father in this regard. Daniel's eldest two sons, thus deprived of their prospective patrimony, sought a career at sea, as was common for West-Country youths seeking their fortunes. The Berry family had been established from the reign of King Edward I (1272-1307)〔Risdon, Tristram, Survey of Devon, 1810 edition, p.347〕 near the north coast of Devon as lords of the manor of ''Nerbert'' or ''Narbor'', which manor took their name and became known as ''Berry Narbor'', today known as ''Berrynarbor''.
Younger branches settled at Braunton, Eastleigh and Chittlehampton,〔Vivian, pp.74-80, pedigree of Berry〕 but from which branch the Knowstone family descended is not recorded in the Heraldic Visitations of Devon.〔Vivian, pp.74-80, pedigree of Berry, in which no mention is made of the Berry family of Knowstone〕
