Notes

Abraham Beery was born in 1736 near York, PA. He was a farmer and owned many acres of land in Winchester township, York Co, PA. In 1781, in accordance with his religious principles, Abraham refused to take an oath while paying his property taxes and was taxed double. He and his brothers were each fined 3.10 pounds because they refused to serve with the military forces during the Revolutionary War. The Mennonites did not believe in war; today they would be called conscientious objectors.

Abraham married Elizabeth Gochenour (also spelled Gochenauer). (Elizabeth's brother John married Abraham's sister Barbara.) Abraham and Elizabeth had seven children; Abraham, Nicholas, John, Jacob, George, and Magdalena and Christian who were twins. Sometime after 1790, Abraham and Elizabeth moved to Rockingham County, VA and settled near Cross Keys. Their sons had previously followed their uncle Nicholas to very fertile land there. Abraham died in 1799 and is buried there in the Union Church Cemetery. Elizabeth then made her home with her son Abraham. She died in 1800 and was buried in the Lindale Mennonite church cemetery near Edom, VA. Her tombstone says, "Mother of John Beery, died 1800."
