Do you know of Berrett ???

Our sources for Berrett (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Berrett other than they indicate that Berrett would be found somewhere in Carroll County, Maryland.
