JOHNSON -
I am looking for a James B. Johnson's father, I do not know the father's name. I only know through records that James B. Johnson's father was born in Virginia. James B was born 1832 in Ohio. He had a brother Asa Johnson born in Illinois in 1867. But the records say their father was born in Virginia. I do not have a first name? I have searched all through census records, can't find a father's name. Connie Knight

Am looking for brothers Moses, Isaac and William BERRY. Clay County, Illinois history states that a Moses BERRY came there from Virginia about 1820 and was later joined by his brothers Isaac and William BERRY. Moses BERRY went west and was never heard from again. Isaac BERRY went to Northwestern Illinois and William BERRY went to Wayne County, Illinois where he later died.
William BERRY is my direct family line. His oldest child, Joseph Smith BERRY was said to be born in Washington or Wythe County, Virginia between 1825 and 1827.
I'd like to find out what part of Virginia this BERRY family came from. Who are the parents of Moses, Isaac and William BERRY?

BROWN, YOUNG -
I am trying to connect my great-great grandfather/grandmother with their Virginia ancestors - so far to no avail.
The censuses say they were born in Virginia, but I've not been able to find anything that connects them to parents or siblings. Here is what I have:
Evan Price Young b. Jan 8, 1810 in Virginia d. Dec 25, 1879 in Lucas County, Iowa
Amanda F. Brown b. Apr 6, 1815 in Virginia d. Feb 10, 1866 in Lucas County, Iowa
They were married Aug 5, 1832 in Guernsey, Ohio . At least 4 of their 8 children were born in Ohio, according to censuses, but I've not been able to prove this.
Any available information would be greatly appreciated.
