WAGON WHEELS - 1934 - RANDOLPH SCOTT - RARE DVD

I felt like I was watching my family as I saw this story. Jacob Bergi traveled from Switzerland to England to board a ship chartered by William Penn that landed in Philadelphia in 1733, along with many Swiss folk who came to America to practice their Mennonite lifestyle without persecution.He purchased farm land that later became Berks County, Pennsylvania as the Bergi last name became Berkey. Part of the family slowly spread west to Somerset, Pennsylvania and on towards the Ohio border. My great-grandfather Stephen was a discontented wanderer who traveled by covered wagon from Western Pennsylvania to Kansas with his family, and my Grandfather David King Berkey was born in a sod cabin in Kansas.Great-Grandfather Stephen had more than twenty children, but the tough life in Kansas took several of them before he gave up on the West and headed back East to the Ohio-Pennsylvania border area. My dad grew up in Canfield, Ohio where his father David and his Uncle John farmed, dug and sold coal
