Bergey Family History
Fourth Generation

At the beginning of the 19th Century, the new nation had added four new states: Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio. America was becoming industrialized, pioneers were moving west. Travel and transportation had made great gains.

With the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793 came a greater demand for cotton in the North and increased importance of slavery in the South.

This was the era in which the fourth generation of Bergeys lived.

The information contained on this page is taken from the "Genealogy of the Bergey Family."
