Biography

Berryman Hicks was a Baptist preacher in South Carolina and Tennessee. He married Elizabeth Durham in 1799 and "reared a large and interesting family" (Jackson 1933). He acquired some fame as a revivalist preacher. He wrote a number of hymns and spiritual songs, which he often sung at meetings or with his family, accompanying himself on the violin, of which he was proficient from youth (John Logan 1887, quoted in Jackson 1933).
