Madison Co. Will Book Abstracts, book A, pp 266-267:
CYNTHIA DERRYBERRY, April 1874-Oct. 7, 1878. Nephew H. H. Vinson entire est except to niece Martha Vinson "a room of
the house" as long as she is single. Wits A. W. Fuller, T. J. Fuller.
Secondary sources state Cyntha's maiden name was Vinson, which is supported by the probate abstract above.
Furthermore, Cyntha and her parents were from North Carolina, and the Vinson family of Madison Co. seems to have
originted there as well. Her nephew is probably the Henry H. Vinson (1838-1913) buried in Maple Springs Cemetery.
