Berry was born in Richland twp October 23, 1828. His grandfather, John Berry, a native of Virginia, emigrated to Belmont county in 1798, and located on the land now situated in Colrain and Richland twp, and erected his cabin. His nearest neighbor was a Mr.. Croy, who lived about one mile distant, and had come one year before him.

DANIEL BRANDLE The recently deceased Daniel Brandle was born in Dauphin County, PA., January 11, 1809. His father, John C. Brandle, a native of Germany, emigrated to America at the age of nineteen years, settling in Pennsylvania, this being at the turn of the present century. The son of whom we write followed shoemaking for a time and for many years he was engaged in carpenter's work, being a general mechanic. He came to Ohio in early life and in this section of the state was well known as one of the early workers at the carpenter's bench. About 1845 he settled upon a farm in Moorefield Township, Clark County, where he resided until his death, September 18, 1889. Mr. Brandle was well known as a man of strict honor and integrity and secured the esteem and confidence of all who knew him. His death was therefore mourned by a wide circle of friends, while to the family in which he had ever been a kind and loving husband and father, the loss cannot be estimated. He had served his fellow-men as Constable and School Director, performing the duties of those offices in a manner creditable alike to himself and those who had placed him in public position. In politics he was a sturdy Republican. He belonged to the Methodist Protestant Church at Pleasant Hill and had officiated as Class-Leader for many years. He was one of the first to advocate the establishment of the society in Moorefield Town ship, and always took an active interest in church affairs. The widow of Mr. Brandle is now occupying the homestead on Section 27, of the township before named, owning fifty acres of the farm on which so many years of her wedded life were spent. She bore the maiden name of Mary Hargadine and is a native of this county in which sh was born Dec. 28, 1815. She grew to maturity here, attending the subscription schools which were held during her youth and acquiring as thorough an education as possible with the facilities then afforded. On Oct 29, 1835, she became the wife of our subject, to whom she was a loving and faithful companion until his death. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Henkle, a noted pioneer preacher of this county. The golden wedding anniversary was celebrated in 1885, by a large circle of friends and relatives. Like her deceased husband Mrs. Brandle belongs to the Methodish Protestant Church and is highly regarded for her upright life and womanly virtures. She is the mother of six children, the first-born, John W., being deceased. Elizabeth is the wife of Samuel Hunter, of Springfield: Sarah is the wife of Joseph Norman of the same City: Angeline, of Springfield: Mary A. is the wife of Henry Beard, of Champaign County: Lena yet remains with her mother. The parents of Mrs. Brandle were William and Elizabeth (Griffin) Hargadine, natives of Maryland, who came to Ohio prior to the War of 1812, in which the father participated. He made a permanent settlement in Moorefield Township, Clark County, when Indians and wild animals were still plentiful here, and like all settlers upon the frontier endured many hardships and privations. He was one of the early constables of this part of the county and was an excellent representative of the class of men who opened the way for civilization in the great Northwestern Territory. He attended school after he was married, in that way securing the education which made him successful in life. To him and his wife eight children were born, of whom the only survivors are Mrs. Brandle, and Matilda, wife of Levi Hoak, of Springfield. The deceased children are: Thomas, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Harriet and John. ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Sun, 27 Jun 1999 00:54:01, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) Subject: GREEN COUNTY OHIO The cross road of our nation Records & Pioneer Families October-December 1964 Vol. V No. IV Published by Esther Weygandt Powell - NO COPYRIGHT GREENE COUNTY, OHIO WOODLAND CEMETERY XENIA, OHIO PIONEERS BURIED HERE ANDREW, James Sr. died Feb. 7, 1849 age 65y 7m 11d.
