Circa 1871-1880 something happened to John BERRY and his spouse Elizabeth or Ethelinda. Im not sure what transpired. They are listed on the 1870 Jackson Co census. But in 1880 their children are living in different homes in Perry Co. as 1) Adopted. 2) A border. The youngest adopted was only 5 or 6 years old. I cannot see Mrs. Berry abandoning her child if something happened to John. Something tells me that maybe tragedy struck Mr. and Mrs Berry. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
