Hi Paula, I checked my BERRY database & did not find a Melvina or Lavina BERRY. Did the 1850, 1860 or 1870 Census says she was born in MD or DE? Melvina & Ephraim BREECE were most likely deceased by 1872. Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) In a message dated 6/22/2 12:12:55 AM, paulaj@netdirect.net writes: << Do you happen to know if any of these Berrys had a daughter MELVINA/LAVINA BERRY b. abt .1796. Melvina married Ephraim Breece 1816 in Butler Co. Ohio, were in Randolph County IN for a short time. They then went to Hancock Co IN were they seem to have dropped of the face of the earth after 1872. Thanks , Paula >>

I was hoping I could find a family connection for Melvina at least. Ephraim has been a thorn in my side for awhile now.
