My gggg grandmother Nancy BEAUCHAMP was from (Somerset County?) Maryland and
married Unknown BERRY. Their son Morris BERRY was born in 1781 in Kent
County Delaware. There were other children, one of which was Grace Berry who
married ?? JANES. Morris BERRY married Peggy SIMMS in Kentucky ca 1806.

I would like very much to learn who the BERRY children's father was. He must
have died, for their mother Nancy (Ann) Beauchamp BERRY then married Day
WILLIN in Delaware ca 1786-90 and came to Kentucky ca 1790.

I recently learned from a correspondent some bits of information which
stated that Day WILLIN was born ca 1765 in Maryland and died in 1852 in Hart
County KY and that he came to Kentucky with a brother, Thomas WILIN, in the
late 1780's; that he was in Green County KY in the early 1800's and that he
died in 1852 in Hart County KY. I have no more information on Nancy after
she got to Kentucky.

Can anyone tell me anything more on any of these ancestors who started out
in Maryland and Delaware before migrating to Kentucky. ANY information on
BEAUCHAMPS, BERRYS AND WILLINS will be greatly appreciated.
