Which child of Mary's do you belong to? Elizabeth married John Lafayette Berry. My father was their son John. Any information would be so welcome about Mary Francis and family. What information we have was traced down by Allen Gentry. I know you have heard from him because he forwarded his message to you on to me. Also, you probably have heard from my second cousin. Dollie Myers. Her grandmother Mary, was my father's sister and one of six daughters of John L. and Elizabeth P. Thanks for your inquiry.
