EV. WILLIAM J. BERRYMAN was present at the General Meeting of the North Carolina and Virginia Christian Conference, in Orange (now Alamance) county, [179] in 1834. At this Conference it was ordered that he be ordained to the office of Elder in the Christian Church.

      In 1839, he was present at the Conference at Lebanon, in Surry county, Virginia. From lack of records, we are unable to trace the history further. The family belonged to the upper southside counties of Virginia.
