Posted on: Tioga Co. NY Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Tioga/10228 Surname: BERRY, ALLEN, ELLIOTT, CLEVELAND ------------------------- I am searching for information on the family of John S. and Elvira (Allen) Berry who lived for a spell in Tompkins County, NY during the early 1800s. They migrated through Tioga County, NY in the 1830's. John S. BERRY was born 1806 in Guildhall, Essex, Vermont, married Elvira ALLEN about 1828 in Virgil, Cortland, NY and died about 1842 near Berrytown, Bradford, PA. John is the son of John S. BERRY and Elizabeth ELLIOTT. Elvira ALLEN was born about 1808 in NY and died after 1880. Elvira is reportedly a relative of Ethan Allen but the relationship has not yet been established. John and Elvira (Allen) Berry settled for a short time in Dryden, Tompkins, NY before moving through Tioga County, NY to the Berrytown Settlement in Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Their first male child, Cevilius Stocking BERRY, was born in Dryden 12 December 1832. John and Elvira (Allen) Berry may have been migrating with a larger family group consisting of the families of John S. and Elizabeth (Elliott) Berry and Ephraim and Polly (Cleveland) Berry. Reportedly, some of the Berry family settled near Richford, Tioga, NY. Any information on the aforementioned families of Berry, Allen, Cleveland and Elliott would be much appreciated. The children of John S. and Elizabeth (Elliott) Berry are reported to be: James, Alvin, Esther, Benjamin, John, Eliza, Luther, Joseph, Lydia, Amanda, and Clara.
