This map, scanned from the 1999 Rand McNally
shows the eastern portion of Kansas where the Berrys
and Foys settled. Mary Foy Mullin thought the
Berrys settled in Marion County,near Newton, about
half-way to Wichita, but we have no record of their
homesteading there. But the Berrys may have been headed
there along the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fee railroad
by advertisements and inducements provided by the
AT&SF. It seems more likely that they
soon settled near Vine Creek, or just north of present
route 70 from Salina to Junction City. William
and Anne Foye's pictures were taken in Miltonvalle, and
their chldren's pictures were taken in
Minneapolis, KS. All of our relatives
left Vine Creek, which now is only a cemetery, some
settling in Salina, others in Junction City, and others
in Kansas City. |

Briody, wife of William McCue, mother of Paul
Peter McCue. From the hairstyle and style of
dress, Margaret Phillips judges this portrait to
be a wedding portrait (circa 1870). Margaret
