Person:Marvil Berry (1)

"[Hon. Cabell Rives Berry's] father was Dr Marvelle Lee Berry, a graduate of the Philadelphia Medical College, and in his day the leading physician of Amherst county, who passed away in Virginia in 1896 at the age of seventy three. Up to the Civil war Dr Berry was a Whig but after the dissolution of that party he became a staunch Democrat. He was a communicant of the Episcopal church and a member of the Masonic fraternity. His parents were Addison Lee Berry and Sallie Shannon Berry, who were natives of Maryland. The mother of the former was a Miss Lee prior to her marriage, a member of the same Virginia connection from which Robert E Lee was descended. The mother of Sallie Shannon Berry was a Miss Layne as a maiden. Dr Marvelle Lee Berry wedded Eliza Ann Huckstep, daughter of Col Richard Huckstep who served as colonel in the Mexican war, and Naomi Dillard Tyler Huckstep, the latter of whom was born in 1800 to James and Elizabeth Dillard Tyler William Dillard. The father of Elizabeth Dillard Tyler lived in Amherst county Virginia near the James river. There were ten children in Dr Berry's family."
