Autobiography of Marsha Berry
6 March 2005
My closest genealogy is my husband George, and our daughter
Camille and our favorite son-in-law Gabriel Jaque and our 4
grandsons: Alexander, Adrian, and twins Denver and Hunter.
I began researching my genealogy in the summer of 1962.
My father had a book that is now in my possession about our
family that cousin Cora Champ Munns compiled and published
on 1 May 1932, "Family Record," which has Genevieve Funk
being the daughter of Franklin Pierce Funk and Ida Belle Bobbitt.
My Philson cousin Mae Daws Behrendit compiled and included the
Cora Champ Munns book: "Family Record," and Lynn W. Philson
book: "Our Ancestors," published in 1978. In December 1999 Mae
published her book: "The Ancestors and Family of the Philson's,"
of which I had assisted Mae in the process and was among the
cousins that contibuted, a book which has Genevieve Funk being
the daughter of Franklin Pierce Funk and Ida Belle Bobbitt.
With the combined research and work of Barbara Curley,
George W. Stevens, Joyce Maxwell, Donna Adamson and
Marsha Berry, in June 2000 we published the book: "John Crabb
chr 1450 Callington, Cornwall, England and His Descendants,"
which descends to each of us [Marsha's mother's side] and other
cousins.
