Joel Berry b.abt 1810 Rockingham VA.
I am researching my Berry family,I would do the DNA testing but, I descend down through the only daughter so this leaves my family completely out concerning this project.
I am trying to find a descendent of Joel Berry b.c 1810. I have found where he bought land in Senaca Co. Ohio in 1835 then abt 1840 moves on into Indiana,from there into Wis,to Boone Co Neb. where he eventually dies.I have acquried ahistory of one of George Berry's wife Magdalena's sister that may connect him to my own ancestor,(there is just a mention in this history).George Washington Berry that followed a simular route moving North & West.George and his family ended in Mich.where he and his wife finally died in the cemetery where they are buried are one or two of Joels children these two families were ritht around each other in one way or another.What I,m looking for is anyone who may know the fathers of Joel & George Berry.I have dug around in Rockingham VA. there were Berry's there early on with the right spelling of Berry.By a write up in Neb.Joel Berry was b. in Rockingham Va.But, George Berry was b. according to his obit on Wills Creek,Muskingum Co,Ohio,1809 and George's death Cert. states his parents were from VA.If anyone can help me untangle this family please e-mail me:[email protected] you.
