In 1863, W. J. Berry was united in marriage with Miss Anna Coates, a daughter of George I. Coates who came to California in 1862. Of this union six children have been born: Hugh Franklin, residing in San Francisco; Clarence J., one of the best known oil operators in California who is living in San Francisco ; Henry, a well known oil man of Los Angeles ; Frederick, a successful fruit-grower near Selma ; Cora, who married R. J. Skelton of Los Angeles ; and Nellie, who became the wife of Harry Smith, a Klondiker, but now an oil man at Taft. Mrs. Anna Berry, the mother of these children, now past eighty, survives her husband ; now in the evening of life, she can look back upon a life given to worthy deeds.

Thee Coates family moved to California with cousins the Frosts with whom a feud had started over the killing of a Frost dog. The feud would end October 16, 1867, in the streets of Willits, CA, when two of Anna's brothers and four other family members would die in a famous, fifteen second shootout.
