Unreferenced for years, tagged for 5 months. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. After several Google searches, I found very few potential sources, including one administrative law case, but lacks significant coverage.

@Bearian Checked County website and comp plan - couldn't find anything. Support PROD. JuxtaposedJacob (talk) | :) | he/him | 03:09, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

It was deprodded. AfD? Bearian (talk) 03:13, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

It now has one source. Bearian (talk) 03:27, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

(edit conflict) That's probably not needed. The place is now known as Berrys but has a lot of history as Berrys Ferry. There's a lot of returns when searching with that latter name, especially when looking at Virginia-specific databases like Virginia Chronicle (see here).

Project members are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to $2680 in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:08, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
