John was born 31 Aug., 1784 in Lincoln county, Kentucky. We have references that John moved to Monroe county, Indiana, and that Patsy (nickname for Martha) was John's sister. You are right about this family being in Virginia before going west. The Berrys were in Frederick and Augusta counties in Virginia as well as in Bath county, North Carolina. The Allens and Moores were in Frederick and Augusta counties as well. There is a Givens family history by Jane Tyler Craig Reichlein that covers descendants of Samuel Givens that includes the Berry surname. The title is "The Samuel Givens Family and Kin". It may be of value in your research. We would be glad to share what we have on our Allens and Givens. We look forward to hearing from you, Yours truly, Bill and Loydean Allen ballensr@home.com end
