Less than a year later, the family moved to Washington County, Indiana, followed by their final move to Jackson County, Indiana. On April 19, 1828, Berkey married Evaline Henderlider. Their children included Susan, Frederick Norton, Jonas Wright, Isabelle, Elizabeth, and Delilah. In 1845, Berkey opened his Berkey merchandise store, known as Berkey Brothers after his sons took over the business, in Salem, Indiana. He died on October 21, 1886. Sources:Stevens, Warder W.
