Our History
Celebrating over 85 years of service to the community, Berryman Green Chapter, NSDAR, was organized in 1935 by Mrs. Martha Bedford Yancey Berryman IV in South Boston, Virginia.
Behind the Name
The Chapter was named for Captain Berryman Green, who served in the 4th troop of "Light Horse Harry" Lee in 1776, and subsequently at Valley Forge as Paymaster for the First Continental Dragoons. His home, Green's Folly, Halifax, is now the handsome setting for the Green's Folly Golf Course. Berryman Green enlisted in the Continental Army at age twenty-two and on January 1, 1776, was given the rank of Captain. When he resigned his commission in 1779, he was awarded 4,000 acres of land. While at Valley Forge, he married Anne Pritchard. After her death, he married Nancy Terry, daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Terry.
