All the information I sent is located either in the HOPEWELL FRIENDS HISTORY 1734-1934 FREDERICK COUNTY, VAcompiled from official records and published by a joint committee of Hopewell Friends...reprinted for Clearfield Co, Inc, by Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc, Baltimore, Md, 2003.(There are dozens and dozens of Berry inclusions in the index.)
The Ohio info is from HINSHAW'S QUAKER ENCYCLOPEDIA, which is several large volumes and found in lots of genealogical libraries all over the country.It also is out on CDGENEALOGICAL RECORDS; THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF QUAKER GENEALOGY, 1750-1930....this is a Family Tree Maker CD # 192, put out by the Broderbund Software Co.
All I have on the Thomas Berry, son of John and Catharine Horn, is that he married Sally Purcell Feb 9, 1808....The Berrys I know of are buried in the Union Cemetery, in St. Clairsville....I know nothing of a Berry cemetery, and it isn't included in a listing of Belmont Co cemeteries...where did you find this information?
The name of various Quaker meetings does not necessarily have anything to do with the geographic location....often times they are named for home places, places the new meeting members came from....the Concord meeting, in Belmont Co, was probably named for the Concord meeting in Chester Co, where so many of the members ancestors had started out in the new world....ditto for the Goshen meetings, of which there are lots...however, some ARE named for where they are.....the Back Creek meeting was located in an area named for Back Creek that ran through it.The Quaker religion is fascinating, so as you seem to have some in your family I'd suggest you do some reading up on the faith, and the followers.....really interesting.
