Martha Elizabeth Berryhill

Elizabeth Derrisaw was a full blood Creek girl from the Broken Arrow Tribal town in the Old Creek Nation. (This was taken from a letter about John Berryhill and his children.)

It also stated: John and Elizabeth Derrisaw Berryhill went to the Creek Lands West of the Mississippi River with the First Party of McIntosh Creeks. They arrived there in February of 1828 and settled on the bank of the Verdigris River close to the Old Creek Agency. I believe they probably died there in about 1832 in one of the epidemics that hit the Creeks West at that time.
