General Notes: Husband - Alexander S. Berryhill

---

He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and was educated in the schools of the neighborhood. In early life he came to Uniontown, Pennsylvania, where he was married. After marriage he moved to West Virginia, and conducted a tan-yard for some time, and then opened a general store at West Liberty. He finally sold out, and became one of the pioneer boatmen of that vicinity, making trips from West Liberty, to Nashville, Tennessee. He exchanged the northern produce for cotton, sugar, and other articles raised in the southern states. While returning from one trip, he met the first steamboat that was ever on the Ohio river, and challenged the crew for a race to Short Creek. They accepted, and he won the race. In 1830 he came to Cross Creek township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he made a permanent home. In politics he was first a Whig, afterward uniting with the Democratic party. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church.
