General Notes: Husband - Thomas Marshall Berryhill


He was born in Cross Creek township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where his boyhood was passed, excepting an interval of seven years which he spent in Ohio. His early education was obtained in Knox County, Ohio, and in 1848 he returned to Cross Creek village.
He and his wife first settled in Hickory, Washington County, where he followed the blacksmith's trade until 1863. He then moved to Jefferson County, Ohio, where he bought a farm and remained until 1867, when he sold out, and returning to Washington County, settled on the farm of 162 acres. He then followed dairy farming exclusively for six years, milking from twenty to twenty-four cows daily, and raising enough stock to supply the dairy.
In politics he voted with the Republican party. He and his wife were members of the U. P. Church at Hickory, of which he was a ruling elder.

He attended school in Knox County, Ohio, and also in Cross Creek village, Washington County, Pennsylvania, after which he learned the blacksmith trade at Hickory, and for some ten years worked at the same as a journey-man, between Pennsylvania and Iowa. In 1859 he returned to Hickory and continued in the blacksmith business until 1863, when he bought a farm in Jefferson County, Ohio, on which he resided until 1867, when he moved to a farm in Mt. Pleasant Township, which he continued to cultivate until he moved to Hickory, in 1901.
In politics, Mr. Berryhill was a Republican. He served in all the elective offices in the part of the township in which his farm was situated, a part of which was now included in the village of Hickory, 100 lots being known as the T. M. Berryhill addition. He was a stockholder in the Guardian Trust Company of Pittsburgh, and for some years was vice-president of the Farmers' National Bank, of which he was a charter director and large stockholder. He was a member of the United Presbyterian Church at Hickory.
Civil War: He was working at Hickory when the battle of Antietam was fought, and his enlistment followed. He was a member of Co. K, which was organized at Hickory and served as State militia.
