Levi is AKA FR24 and was married to Barbara Mishler AKA MS3147.
Personal family information from both written sources and from family Bibles gathered over several years of travel and library research.
Original edition of The Berkey Book 1st and 2nd editions, which have many Berkeys that I personally researched as well as Line 26 which is started with Orange Grove Berkey. This is as close as our branch comes but in Line 3 appears his younger sister, Catherine Winchester Berkey who married Joseph Hochstetler who is DJH-4263. This was actually a mistake on the part of the informant named Wade Miller whose mother was a Berkey and since Catherine was in the household of Jacob Berkey he thought she was his daughter but she was not. Many of my relatives are in Descendants of Jacob Hochstetler first published in 1912 by Rev. Harvey Hostetler, D.D. long before personal computers.[1]
