Following is a pass given to a young Creek Indian woman, by the United States
Agent to the Creek Nation, Benjamin Hawkins, to visit Andrew Berryhill in 
Burke County, Georgia. This is could be the Creek Indian wife and child of
one of Andrew Berryhill, Sr.'s sons.

                                Fort Wilkinson, 13 December, 1797.

Nancy and her little girl, of the Creek Nation, are on their way to ANDREW
BERRYHILL's, near Galphin's Old Town on Ogeechee; she is of a family friendly 
to white people. I request my fellow citizens to be attentive to her and
treat her with kindness, and direct her on her rout.
                                                Benjamin Hawkins

The Story of John Berryhill and Elizabeth Derrisaw and Their Descendants

This is an unpublished manuscript done by Thelma Nolen Cornfeld before
her death in 1996. Her daughter Barbara gave me permission to put her
research online.
