Hi Nena,

Mark me down for future reference. I have, I think, a
BERRY ancestor, and I'm related to most of Simon
Kenton's party, so there's a high probability that
Elijah Berry will be part of my family tree. One
source told me that Mary BERRY was married to a Berry
rather than being a Berry daughter, so who knows?

Tim hasn't posted for a long time but he was quite
active on the list for a long time - you might want to
check the archives if he doesn't speak up. I had not
remembered that he had an interest in the Berry's.

K Berry has done a lot of work on the Berry's of Mason
County. She was working on her African American
ancestors in Mason County and was quite interested in
Elijah and his household. The last email for her was K
Berry <> She has a lot of information in
the list archives, too.
