For anyone related to the BERRY, KIMBERLIN, or MEEKS family who might be
interested, I have scanned the pages of the original Bible, printed in 1844,
which originally belonged to Clarissa BERRY MEEKS KIMBERLIN. Clarissa was a
daughter of Seymour BERRY and Kesiah DURBIN, Seymour being born in Virginia,
and Kesiah in Kentucky.
I have further information about the BERRY family, since I descend from
Clarissa's brother, William Riley BERRY, but I'll just list the information
pertaining to Clarissa here.
