"My Aunt (by marriage) Ruth Morrison, who is still living in Coldspring, told me the "H" stood for "Henderson." I also confirmed Sherman was a Texas Ranger in the 1850's. It was a short career however, as he was shot in the hip by a Kiowa Indian arrow about 28 days into his service. He survived obviously, but was said to have limped for the rest of his life."

Descendants of Elizabeth Newton 1 Elizabeth Newton had 21 children +Benjamin (Major) Bennyman

"She signed a will on 14 Jun 1762 in Westmoreland Co., VA. She died before 22 Feb 1763 in Westmoreland Co., VA.

The full Will is courtesy of, and abstracted by, Mary Love Berryman, op. cit.

In the Name of God Amen I Elizabeth Berryman of the County of Westmoreland being weak in body but of sound and disposing mind and memory do constitute and appoint this my last Will & testament in manner following. Whereas my husband Benjamin Berryman by his last Will authorized me to make distribution of all his slaves to his six sons or the survivors of them and whereas three of the said Sons viz Newton, John and Henry died before they came of age and was not possesst of any of their fathers estate and whereas William, James and Maximilian are the surviving sons I give all the slaves with their increase to be divided as follows, Imprimis I give to my son William Berryman Old Negro Jack and Grace and their ten Children and Bob which in his possession and Sall which I delivered to him as part of his fathers estate some years past but being a little Negro girl, that attended me I desired my son William to let her stay and wait on me which is now with me, as also I give him Rachel and Nel & Beck their Mother, to him and his heirs and assigns forever and allso my fathers Old Silver Tankard without a lid and also my fathers coat of arms. Af also I give to my said son William Berryman all the lands I bought of Cossom Bennett in the County of Westmoreland which I have given him by a deed and do confirm to him his heirs and assigns forever,
Item I give to my son James Berryman, Negro Georgi, Jack, Anthony, Ben, Aaron, Suke, Nace, Mary, Tim, Ned, Jude, Peg and her youngest Chile Gerrat, Winney, and Bettey to him his heirs and assigns forever.
Item I give to my son Maximilian, fourteen Negroes which he has in his possession as also Salley, Lilla and Frank which are yet in my possession, to him his heirs and assigns forever.
Item my will and desire is that my stock and household stuff of what kind --- Tobacco Corn Money --- shall be equally divided between my three children this is to say William James and Katherine Nowles,
Item my son Benjamin Berryman had his part of his fathers estate before his death,
Item my daughter Rose Taliaferro had her part of her fathers estate before his death.
Item my Daughter Frances Foot has her part since her fathers death according to his Will and gave a receipt for it.
Item my daughter Sarah Douglas has had her part of the negroes and my daughter Katharine Nowles has had her part of the Negroes, the reason of my giving son William Seventeen Negroes and my son James but sixteen is because some negroes that my son William is possest of are very Deficient for old Jach & Grace are almost past labour, and one negro fellow with One eye and one hand, and another cripled and of very little use, therefore I think the division I have made will make them equal according to quantity and quality.

Item I appoint my sons William and James Berryman executors to this my last will and testament In withness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 14th day of June 1762 -Elizabeth X Berrymen (her X mark)
Signed
Sealed and delivered In presence of Gerrard Blackstone Causeen
