Thank you both for the great help. Obviously this marriage is for another John Berry because the John whose household includes Catharine Deeds much younger. The IGI has two other possible marriages for John Berry to an Elizabeth in Fairfield County--neither appears to have any connection to the Deeds family of my interest: John Berry and Elizabeth Close 25 DEC 1831 John Berry and Elizabeth Blazier 23 FEB 1847 (The census has older children so this would have to be a later marriage.) Again, thank you for the help. This has been interesting because I descend from another prominent Beary/Bieri Family that lived in Lehigh County, PA, then skipped over Ohio to Indiana, Iowa, then MO.
