Vass, Carol. "McCORD GENEALOGY from Scotland to Edgar Co, 1600s to 1900s" dated 7 March 1978, [Transcription made July/August 2001 by David W. Hinde, Roscoe IL, (removed email per Wikitree guidelines) ] Author: Barbara Louise McCord Carter. Email from Carol Vass to PPH, 9 Sep 2012.
Note: "Louise McIntyre sent Florence Fancher the copy of the Berry/McCord bible page explaining that 'The earliest personal record I have of our Berrys is a document which was copied in the early 1880's from a McCord Bible. A cousin of my mother's, Annettie Coolley, had gone to Paris, Edgar County, Illinois, to atend a Teacher's Institute. She was quite young and it had been arranged for her to stay with this McCord family because of their Berry relationship (somewhat distant but recognized)." This letter and the transcription of the bible record is on deposit in the Leslie Dryden Genealogy Collection, Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture at Salisbury State University, Salisbury, MD. Notebook labled: "DRYDEN, Shenandoah IV", pages 79, 85-96. "Carol Vass Notes: Esther Berry was a daughter of Thomas Berry [Sr] (who died in 1799 in Washington Co, Virginia). Esther was married to David McCord 8 Dec 1795 in Washington Co, VA. The transcription of the children of Thomas Berry [Sr] by both of his wives, is a second hand copy of one of the bible pages of Esther Berry and her husband David McCord. Research into the area of the Paris, Edgar Co, IL where Louise McIntyre said that the copy was obtained " by her 'mother's cousin', indicates that the bible record was probably in the hands of Thomas McCord who died in Paris, Il in 1886. Thomas McCord was the second son of Esther Berry/David McCord." Repository: #R27
