I have gathered data from various postings on GenForem, Rev. War records,DAR records, J.H. Beers History of Franklin Co. and Washington Co., PA.,Mrs. Sanders of Pine Bluff, AR.,a direct descendant, Mrs. MamieShindledecker, Jere Keefer and John Auten E-Mails, and others.

This is what I have on Capt. William Berryhill b 1750 PA. d 1804 inFranklin Co., PA. married Ruth McLean (McLene) b 1752 PA. d 30 May 1836in Washington Co., TN. 1

Mamie (above) went to Washington Co., and recorded the Cross CreekCementry information. 1

Mary Linn (wife) d 22 Oct 1850 b 1785.

William Berryhill d 30 Jan 1848 b 1804.

(son of Alex and Mary.

Sariah Marshall (wife) d 7 Jul 1848 b 1803.

Moses L. Berryhill d 29 May 1830 b 1806.

( son of Alex and Mary).

Ruth Steele Berryhill d 30 May 1836 b 1752.

This record and Beers History of Washington Co., PA. are incorrectaccording to direct descendants of Ruth McLean and verification of b andd dates. 1

Jere states William b 1750 in Lancaster Co., PA and d 2 Sep 1804 InFranklin Co., PA. He is the son of William b 1720 and killed by Indiansin Franklin Co., PA sometime after 1750. This William b 1750 was the sonof William b 1689 in Ireland, one of the sons of Alexander and JaneCartwright that came to America.

The children of William and Ruth McLean are:

Alexander S. Berryhill b 1775 d 1846.

Wm. McLene Berryhill b 1784 d 1835.

Samuel Gettys Berryhillb 1785 d 1823.

Mary Berryhill b 1789 Unk.

Ruth Berryhill b Unk m ??Noble.

Isabelle Berryhill b Unk.

Elias Berryhill b Unk.

Isabelle or Elias married Rev. Blackburn.

I have 6 generations of the children of Alex and Mary Linn, Wm and SariaMarshall, Alex and Catherine Shipley, and Thomas and Jane Griffith, ifanyone wants a copy. 1

A following post will cover Lt. William R. Berryhill b 1738 in NC whomarried Ruth Steel and Elizabeth Whiteside. 1
