John Berryman's guardian was Willoughby Newton and his wife Sarah Eskridge. This John Berryman married, first Martha Newton of Westmoreland Co, ca. 1761 (daughter of Willoughby & Sarah), and second Sarah Brent of Lancaster Co, ca. 1776.
I believe he is the John Berryman who signed the Leedstown Resolves (Stamp Act). Several of his in-laws, the Brents, also signed.
He was a Capt. in the Rev. War, a Representative in the Virginia House of delegates and a Sheriff of Lancaster Co. ca. 1782-1786.

PREWITT PAPERS Re: Berryman
Packet found among the papers of Hon. Richard Hickman Prewitt, Lawyer of Lexington Kentucky, born 1833, died in 1888.
1. 24 November, 1664, Westmoreland County, Virginia. Certified (this word is crossed-out and a hand-written Attached is written in it's place) copy of grant from Sir William Berkeley to Thomas Dios [Dies, Dyess? MB] for "Five hundred acres of land being in Westmoreland County on the south side of Potomack River buthing on the north east side towards the head of Quantiko Creek ..."
[MB note: This may have been the land where Benjamin Berryman jr. was living when he died in 1748.]
2. 2 April, 1697, recorded 10 August 1698. Stafford County. Attested by "V. Peyton C.S.C." Will of Andrew Gilson.
[MB Note: Andrew Gilson and his wife Beheathland [Bernard?] were the parents of Thomas Gilson. Thomas Gilson's "only daughter" was Behethland Gilson. This daughter, Behethland Gilson, married John Berryman, see # 4.]
3. 8 May, 1707. Stafford County. Inventory of the estate of Thomas Gilson, recorded 14 May, 1707.
[MB Note: Thomas Gilson's last wife was Elizabeth Newton the only daughter of John Newton and his 4th wife, Rose (nee?) Tucker Gerrard Newton. Elizabeth Newton married second, Benjamin Berryman sr.]
4. 21 August, 1720, recorded February 13, 1722, Stafford County, last will and testament of John Berryman.
[MB Note: John was Benjamin and his first wife, Sarah Butler Berryman's son and the first of two sons with the name John. There was a court case involving John's will. It pertained to his not having changed it after the birth of Gilson. Gilson won vs. his stepfather Thomas Booth (who married Behethland Gilson Berryman). The case was Berryman vs Booth (I've used circumstantial evidence to identify the parties in the court case since only last names are used in Bardahal's)]
5. 13 February, 1722, Stafford County, deed of gift from Behethland Berryman to her son Gilson Berryman.
[MB Note: A daughter of Thomas Gilson (probably by his 1st wife) she married the first John Berryman mentioned in # 4. I believe John and Behethland lived on Thomas Gilson's property which was on the northern shore of Upper Machodoc Creek near it's mouth. This land was in Stafford County until the "final reshaping" of the boundaries of King George, Stafford & Westmoreland Counties.]
6. 20 November, 1722, Stafford County, deed of slaves from Behethland Berryman to Benjamin Berryman.
[MB Note: These were probably slaves inherited from her father Thomas Gilson, unless some were a wedding gift from Benjamin Berryman. The slaves were named in the deed, but I have not been able to acquire a full copy.]
7. 28 July, 1748, recorded 12 June, 1750, Stafford County, will of Gilson Berryman.
[MB Note: He was the only child of John and Behethland Gilson Berryman, see # 4. Gilson married Hannah Berryman, the only child of his uncle, Benjamin Berryman jr. and his wife Sarah Bushrod. Gilson and Hannah were probably living on his grandfather Thomas Gilson's Stafford County land, see # 5.]
8. 30 April, 1775, Stafford County. "Indenture tripartite". John Berryman of Lancaster County and Martha his wife, Nehemiah [Richard,?] Blackstone Mason and Sarah his wife, and Daniel McCarty of Westmoreland County. Also names of Robert Washington and Townsend Dade.
[MB Note: This John Berryman was the 1st child of Gilson Berryman and Hannah Berryman. Gilson's other children were Behethland Gilson Berryman and Andrew Gilson Berryman by Hannah Berryman and Rose Berryman by Gilson's second wife Sarah Taliaferro. Sarah was the daughter of Rose Berryman and Richard Taliaferro]
9. 16 February, 1786, Lancaster County. Will of John Berryman.
[MB Note: This John was the son of Gilson Berryman & Hannah Berryman. He was sheriff of Lancaster Co, VA at the time of his death.]
10. 12 August, 1790, Lancaster County. Deed from Robert Clark Jacob of North Hampton (sic) County to John Haggaman of North Hampton County.
11. 10 November, 1798. Bill of sale for one negro girl from Richard Lancaster of Orange County to Gilson Berryman of Spotsylvania County.
[MB Note: This Gilson Berryman was the second son with the same name by John and Martha Newton Berryman. The first son, Gilson Newton Berryman, was b. March 28, 1762 in Stafford Co, VA and is listed at St. Paul's church. This second Gilson was born June 24, 1773 and is the Gilson who died in Fayette Co., KY.]
12. 15 August, 1808. Scott County, KY. Indenture from Gilson Berryman of Scott County, Ky. and Sarah Berryman of same county.
[MB Note: This is the # 11 Gilson, and (I believe) this Sarah Berryman was the wife of Benjamin Berryman (son of William & Rebecca). Gilson's stepmother Sarah Brent Berryman, John Berryman's 2nd wife, died in Cople Parish, Westmoreland Co, VA in 1819. Her will was written March 4, 1819 and witnessed by Francis Self and Catherine (X) Ennes (Ennis?). She mentions the children of her deceased son, Richard Berryman of KY. At her death, she was probably living with her son-in-law George Glascock, sr.]
13. 8 March, 1808. Agreement between John Berryman and Wm. Monroe both of Scott County, Ky.
[MB Note: Not sure which John this is. William & Rebecca's son Francis married Elizabeth Newton Barr Mar 8, 1786 in Fauquier Co, VA and was the Frank mentioned in Gerrard B. Berryman's 1838 letter. This John Berryman may have been their son. John Monroe married Winifred Berryman daughter of William & Rebecca Berryman; the above, William Monroe was probably their son.]
14. 10 April, 1815. Lancaster County, Virginia. Judgment of the Superior Court of Law. "In suit of John Hunt against Richard Berryman for slander".
[MB Note: This Richard Berryman was the younger half-brother of Gilson Berryman by John & Sarah Brent Berryman.]
15. 10 April, 1815. Lancaster County, Virginia. Appears to be an execution on the aforesaid judgment.
16. 5 April, 1820. Fayette County, Ky. Inventory of the estate of Richard and Ann S. Berryman, his wife both deceased. Richard married Ann Steptoe of Lancaster Co.
17. 14 May, 1821. Receipt from Thomas Wallace to Gilson Berryman.
[MB Note: May be receipt for Gilson's payment vz. the judgment in # 14 and # 15.]
18. 24 June, 1828. Letter to Gilson Berryman and James P. Ellis of Lexington, Kentucky, from Jno. Meridith of Kilmarnock, Virginia.
19. Accounting from 1826 through January 1, 1831 of Gilson Berryman, Andrew Scott, and George Ware as guardians of the heirs of David Wilson, Fayette County, KY.
20. 25 April, 1831. Letter to Gilson Berryman, Chilesburg, Fayette County, Ky. from his son Thomas A. Berryman of Owenton, Ky.
21. 26. March, 1835. Bill from ____ D. Wynn to Gilson Berryman
22. 16 December, 1835. Contract between William Moxley and Rice McDonnald.
23. 1 January, 1877, Fayette County, Kentucky. Inventory of the estate of Richard Berryman, deceased.
[MB Note: Richard jr?]
24. Undated letter, no addressee, stating "This is Col. John Taylor's opinion respecting the title. I am yours, Jas. Berryman". It appears from this letter that the legal question concerns items 5 and 8 above listed as the property was entailed, and John Berryman's authority to convey was questioned.
[MB Note: Gilson's youngest brother was named James.]
