In 1832 Andrew Berryhill, Jr., made a claim to the United States Indian 
Department for helping with the Creeks emigrating from the Old Creek Nation, 
Georgia, to the Western Creek Lands.

To services of One Wagon and One Horse in transporting Baggage &c for Creek 
Emigrants from 6th of October to the 26th of November 1827, making 52 Days at

     I do hereby certify upon my word and honor that the foregoing account,

received payment for the same or any part thereof.

I believe the next claim is POLLETT BERRYHILL, the son of Andrew Berryhill, 
Jr., who was listed in Thomas Berryhill's Will as his brother Andrew's
son. I haven't been able to make out all of the letters in his name on
his claim but it is P???y, either Penny, Perry or Polly.


The United States Indian Department			#16
	To Perry Berryhill

To services of One Wagon, Three Horses and One Teamster in Transporting Baggage 
&c for Creek Emigrants from the 6th of October to the 26th of November, 1827 
making 52 days at $3.00 per day 		
	$156.00

I do hereby Certify upon my word and honor that the foregoing account, 
amounting to $156.00 is justly due me from the United States and that I
have not received payment for the same or any part thereof.

Given at the Creek Agency this 11 Day of December 1834.
