Robert Berryhill was granted 202 acres of land in Richmond County, Georgia 1801.

There was a Robert Berryhill given a pass from the Georgia Governor to go 
through the Cherokee Nation to the Western Territory, of Mississippi, in 1802, 
and a Robert Berryhill who was on the Georgia Land Lottery in 1805. One
of these was probably the brother of my John Berryhill.
