John Berryman, III

John Berryman/Berreman, immigrant, came to Virginia, as a headright of Major Miles Carey of Westmoreland Co, VA by 1654.

John's first wife and the mother of his children died around 1677/78. The only surviving child of this marriage was:

1. Benjamin, born 7 Dec 1670, died 1729, VA; married 1. Sarah, 2. Elizabeth NEWTON John was a farmer and raised tabacco. He apparently owned and operated a mill located near the head of the Upper Machodoc Creek in Westmoreland County, VA.

He married Jane BUTLER, the widow of Thomas BUTLER, in 1678. There were no children by this marriage. Jane married John Harvey before Benjamin came of age.

Part of the inventory account of John's estate included burial charges for "Mr Berriman and two sons." John and his sons must have died about the same time in 1679/1680 in Westmoreland County, VA.
