7. Mattie A Briggs, b Feb 1857 8. William Hardaway Briggs, b 1 Mar 1859 In Thurzia’s and Sam’s home in 1850 were five extra Briggs children. They were nephews and nieces, children of Thurzia’s late sister Rebecca and her husband Duncan Briggs (brother of Samuel George Briggs). In Samuel’s home in 1840 (census page 100) there was another family with children age 16 and older. Because Thurzia’s mother’s will requested that her children remain together until they reached adulthood, and because Thurzia’s husband had taken over the duties of running the Cherry farm, these extra people were likely Thurzia’s siblings. The extended family in 1840 were: 2 males age 20s (Willis Cherry & Samuel Briggs); 1 male age 15-19 (George Cherry); 2 males 10-14 (grandson? Haywood Cherry, and unknown); 1 female age 40s (Mrs Penelope Cherry); 1 female age 20s (Thurzia Cherry, wife of Samuel G Briggs); 1 female age 15-19 (Bythenia Cherry); 2 females age 10-14 (Sarah Cherry & unknown); 1 female age 0-4 (daughter Ann Briggs).

Titus Cherry [C1a5f], son of Faithfull Cherry and Patience _____ of Norfolk Co VA, was the fourth child named in his father's 1727 will, and was given "one gunn to be delivered at the death of his mother." He was born about 1723 in Norfolk Co, and was probably the Titus Cherry (with Joseph Biggs) who witnessed a Tyrrell (now Martin) Co four acre land purchase by John Cherry from William Swanner on 15 September 1762. None of the children of his brothers Faithful or Job would have been old enough to be a witness in 1762, so witness Titus must have been Faithful's and Job's brother from Norfolk Co, and not a son of Faithful or Job. Whether Titus married or had children is not known. (69,28p)

Tom Coleman Cherry [C1a3f6d4b10], son of Scerenus Cecil Cherry and Beedie Ann Austin, was born 15 January 1901. He married Annie Mount, and died on 28 October 1969. They had no children. (77)

Tommie Frances "Fanny" Cherry [C1a8i3b], daughter of William B Cherry and Lottie Hopkins, was born in 1785 (source C says 1788) in Edgecombe Co NC. She married Enoch Floyd (or Flood?). He was born about 1781 (source C says 1786). Since there was another sister named Frances, born in 1810, the Frances who married Enoch must have died soon before. Marriage records of Edgecombe Co show that Obadiah Cherry was the bonds- man for his sister Fanny Cherry when Fanny married Enoch Flood on 19 June 1801. Since Fanny married in 1801, she must have been born by about 1785. An Enoch Flood lived in Nash Co in 1800; there were two young girls under age 10 in his home, two young women or girls in their late teens, and an older woman over age 45. Enoch was also over age 45. This would put his birth date in 1755 or before, so may not be the right Enoch Flood. In 1800 he was the only Enoch Flood in NC, and in 1810 there was none. But in Warren Co KY in 1840 there was an Enoch Floyd family. The wife was born between 1781 and 1790, as was Enoch. They had a large family, some probably being nieces or grandchildren. Possible children of Frances and Enoch Floyd were- 1. dau Floyd, b 1811-1820 (57k) 2. dau Floyd, b 1811-1820 (57k) 3. dau Floyd, b 1811-1820 (57k) 4. dau Floyd, b 1811-1820 (57k) 5. son Floyd, b 1821-1825 (57k) 6. dau Floyd, b 1821-1825 (57k) The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 815

The 1830 Cumberland Co KY census showed in Wesley’s home: Wesley, a wife, and three sons and two daughters. The 1840 Macon Co census showed Wesley Cherry living next to Wesley Bristow (husband of Sarah Cherry [C2d2a2]). In his home then were Wesley (born 1791-1800), a wife the same age, and four sons and one daughter- 1. dau Cherry, b abt 1820.

It would therefore be easy to transport a whole family, household possessions, stock, and farm tools by boat down river to the Ohio River, then where the Ohio ties in with the Mississippi River, go north to the western border of IL, close to the counties where these Cherry families lived for the next few generations.

Wiley "Willie" Cherry [C1a8h4], son of Cader Cherry and perhaps Judith Burnett, was probably born in 1774 in Pitt Co NC. He lived in Edgecombe Co in 1800 through 1820, and his birth date was about 1774; his wife was a little younger, born between 1775 and 1784. In 1810 Willie was living between Levi Cherry and Obadiah Cherry (he was called Willie Cherry Sr then); there was another Willie Cherry living in Edgecombe Co in 1810, next to Robert Cherry. Both Willies were about the same age. The younger Willie was only found in 1810 and had four young children. Willie (Sr) was on the 1815 tax list in Edgecombe Co, and had no sons in his home over the age of 16 then. He died in Edgecombe Co in November or December 1820, and John Laurence Jr was the administrator of Willie's estate. At the time Willie died, he owed, or was owed to him, an account with Robert Hardy. Robert was Willie's step-father. A principal buyer was Polly Cherry; Theophilus Cherry also bought items at the estate sale. Willie's estate was settled in May 1825. In the 1820 census Willie had a wife and eight children- a. dau Cherry, b 1795-1800 (5eh) b. son Cherry, b 1795-1800, was in his parents' home in 1810, but not in 1815, or else was born in 1800.

Wiley Cherry [C1a8c1g], son of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Gainer, was born about 1780 in Martin Co NC. He married Nancy Seawell. His name is often written as Willie, and is the Willie / Wiley Cherry of early Wilson Co TN of the 1798 to 1806 period. NC Revo- lutionary War records show that in 1798 Walter Gibson and James Ray, both of Bertie Co, sold 274 and 640 acres to "Willie Cherry of TN." Therefore Willie probably had already gone to Sumner Co (to the part which became Wilson Co in 1799), by 1798. From Williamson Co TN records in the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville: Wiley apparently bought a land grant in Wilson Co from the heirs of Revolu- tionary War soldier James Vance, who died about 1780. Vance was a private in the Conti- nental Line and his heirs were granted 640 acres in Wilson Co TN on 7 December 1797 (NC Grant #5108). Wiley received this warrant from Silas Ballard in the name of the heirs of James Vance. Apparently under pressure of a lawsuit, Willie returned title of about half the land back to Ballard; Jesse Cherry and Daniel Cherry witnessed, and Silas "gives unto Larry Ballard and his heirs the within agreement." Wiley's brother handled the lawsuit. On 15 June 1804 an obligation of $1,000 owed to Jacob Cassellman by "Willie Cherry of Wilson Co Tennessee" was recorded in Davidson Co. This was apparently concerning a land warrant (#951) first issued to William Price. Half of this was Willie's share of 320 acres, land lying on the east side of Stones River, and being the tract where Abraham Cassellman and Morris Shean were living in 1804. Sumner Co deed book 3, page 234 shows that "Willie Cherry of Wilson County Tennessee" sold 100 acres to Robert Heaton of Davidson Co for $200. This land was pert of a 1200 acre tract on the headwaters of Drake's Creek of Big Barron. A witness was Benjamin Sewell (Seawell?). In Willie Cherry's will (his name was spelled and signed "Wilie"), written on 16 February 1804 and recorded at Lebanon, TN on 12 May 1806, he named his "beloved wife Nancy Cherry," and "four brothers Viz Isham Cherry, Eli Cherry, Daniel Cherry & Darling Cherry & Sarah Gaines four children James, Samuel, John and Jesse, Ann Kennedays five children." The two women with children were Willie's sisters. Because of old, faded records, the family name of Willie's sister Sarah can be read as Gaines or as Gainer. Brother Daniel Cherry received 500 acres in Wilson Co from Wiley. He also appointed his wife Nancy, "brother Daniel and my brother in law John Brown and brother Isham Cherry" as the executors. Wiley died in April or May 1806 and Nancy followed him in 1807, in Wilson Co. They had no children. So from this will most of a family has been put together. At the same time, this should put away the erroneous beliefs that Willie was a Revolutionary War soldier. He was born at the end of the war. Instead, Willie's only connection with that war was that he bought up land granted to Revolutionary soldiers. Perhaps his two brothers back in Martin Co alerted Wiley when a Revolutionary War soldier, or his heirs, received title to TN land, but did not want to move to TN. There are numerous land purchases pertaining to Wiley in Wilson Co as an assignee of someone in Martin Co. (125,69,75,90,WD, 1z,16z, 25z)

Wiley Cherry [C1a7d4h], son of Lemuel Cherry and Sarah McPherson, was born in 1807 in Jackson Co TN. He was not shown in his parents' household in 1820, but Wiley's uncle Wilson Cherry (William in the census) in 1820 had a boy age 10 to 14 living in 828 And NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA

Wiley P Cherry [C1a8c1j2], son of John Darling Cherry and Elizabeth Wynns, was born 7 February 1818 in Martin Co NC.

Wiley P Cherry Jr [C1a8c1j2j], son of Wiley P Cherry and Julia Etta Whitley, was born 6 December 1852 in Haywood Co TN. He married M Burford in Haywood Co on 22 June 1875 and moved to TX when he was a young man. (79,29nmq)

Willard R Cherry [C1a7d4c2c3i], son of Abraham Mack Cherry and Mandy Baley Jones, was born in 1934 in Clay Co TN. He married Georgia Black in Clay Co on 31 Decem- ber 1955. She was born in 1932. Willard was still Alive in 2010. (77,N,64xm)

William Cherry [unknown] of Luston, England sailed from the port of Bristol to the Virginia Colony as an indentured servant between 1654 and 1663. (100)

William Cherry [C1a6], son of John Cherry Jr and Rebecca Maund, was born about 1680 in Lower Norfolk Co VA. He married Elizabeth Tart (daughter or sister of Eleazer Tart who married Mary Cherry?). William received a land patent with Eleazer Tart on 5 September 1723 in Norfolk Co of 80 acres in Cyprus Swamp near the head of Western Branch. He was on a 10 June 1730 tithable list of Norfolk Co: on the Southern Branch was William Cherry Sr, and sons Solomon and Willis. William Sr left a will in Lower Norfolk Co dated 22 March 1735 (Book 1, page 22). It was proven on 20 May 1737, so William died in April or May that year. His will was witnessed by Solomon Cherry and Joseph Cherry, no doubt his brothers. William could not write. He named his wife and seven or eight children- a. Alice Cherry, b 1700s b. John Cherry, b abt 1705 c. Willis Cherry, b 1708 d. William Cherry, b 1710 e. Rebecca Elizabeth Cherry, b 1710 f. Solomon Cherry, b abt 1713 g. Eleazer Cherry, b 1715 h. Caleb Cherry, b 1720 It is not known whether sons William and Willis are the same person. (WD,PA,28apm)

William Cherry Jr [C1a6d], son of William Cherry and Elizabeth Tart of Norfolk Co VA, was born about 1710 in Norfolk Co. He married Elizabeth Manning, daughter of John Manning Jr and Ann Deal, and they probably had two sons. The will of John Manning Jr of the late 1750s in Norfolk Co VA named his daughter Elizabeth Cherry and two grandsons: "... gives to my grandson, Lemuel Cherry, the above mentioned Negro named Jack, and to my grandson, Seth, the above mentioned Negro named George ... ". Perhaps grandfather John Manning only named two sons of Elizabeth because those were the only ones she had, and other sons of William Cherry were from a prior marriage. Also, tithable records list other children besides Seth and Lemuel. They were- 1. William Cherry, b bef 1750 2. Samuel Cherry, b bef 1750 3. Reuben Cherry, b bef 1750 4. Lemuel Cherry, b 1750 5. Seth Cherry, 1750s (77,NW,PA,JA) The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 833

William Cherry [C1a8e], son of Lemuel Cherry and Mary Courtney, was born about 1728 in Norfolk Co VA. He received 400 acres on Beaverdam from his father's July 1754 will, and a Negro named Sutton. William married Sarah Pearson, daughter of Moses Pearson and Sarah _____. Will may have died in Craven Co NC (per WD). Craven Co is on the southeast border of Pitt Co. A deed dated 11 November 1760 was recorded in Beaufort Co NC from William Cherry of Craven Co to John Cherry of Beaufort Co for 400 acres on the north side of Moye's Beaver Dam for £8, land originally patented to Lemuel Cherry on 20 April 1745. William purchased 200 acres on the Pee Dee River in Craven Co from Mary Charnock on 20 July 1764. This land was later sold to his brother-in-law Aaron Pearson on 18 April 1770. William owned land in Dobbs, Pitt, and Beaufort Counties, NC. He was a merchant and a planter. According to Source 77, William's also married Elizabeth Stewart, but Sarah was the mother of his seven known children- 1. George Cherry, b early 1760s, married Susannah McTear, a widow, and died in 1798 in Marlboro district, SC. His children, from his will, were- a. George Cherry Jr, b 1785-1794, probably in Pitt Co where he was living in 1810. Soon before 1810 he had married someone of about the same age, and they had a son- a. son Cherry, b 1800s in Pitt Co NC. (WD,7h) b. John Cherry c. Elizabeth Cherry d. Catherine Cherry (WD) 2.

John Cherry, b 1766-1784, died on 5 February 1830. He was living next to William Cherry (son of Lemuel) in Pitt Co in 1810. John married Jane Bland, daughter of John Bland, and by 1810 they had two daughters- a. dau Cherry, b 1810s in Pitt Co NC. (7h) b. dau Cherry, b 1810s in Pitt Co NC. (7h) (77,7h) 9. Hillary Cherry, b abt 1770 (77,WD, 4p)

William Cherry [C1a4f], son of Thomas Cherry and Sarah Willson, was born about 1720 in Norfolk Co VA, and was baptized in Norfolk Co. On 17 April 1748 he was named in his father's will. William inherited "the plantation where he now lives on being seventy five acres" plus the remaining half of the 125 acres given to his brother Jeremiah. Therefore William was probably an adult at the time of the will. He made his will in 1737, and died about 1748. He had a son- 1. William Cherry, b 1740s? (77,C,RM,28p)

William Cherry [C2a], son of Benjamin Cherry of Ireland, was probably born in Ireland in the 1730s, by 1740. He became a professional soldier fighting in the French & 834 And NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA

Indian Wars, then in the Revolution, and later in Mexico. Many of his descendants settled in and around Dallas, TX. (FC)

William Cherry [C1a7d1], son of William Cherry and perhaps Elizabeth Manning, was probably born in the 1740s in Norfolk Co VA. (77,NW)

William Cherry [C1a5f1], son of William Cherry of Norfolk Co VA, was probably born in the middle of the 18th Century in Norfolk Co. (77,C, RM)

William Cherry [C1a8h2], son of Cader Cherry and perhaps Judith Burnett, was probably born in the 1750s or 1760s in Beaufort Co or in Pitt Co NC. (57,86,WD,4p)

William Cherry [C1a5d7], son of Jeremiah Cherry and Mary Ferbee, was not named in his father's February 1754 will, and since his father died late that year without ever making a codicil in the will for William, William must have been born in 1755 in Norfolk Co VA after his father's death. William lived in Norfolk Co in 1785. (57,28a)

William Cherry [C1a6f7], son of Solomon Cherry and Sarah Eley, was born about 1759 in Bertie Co NC. He married Susannah _____ about 1778; she was born in 1758. He was named in Bertie Co's tax roster in 1774 and in 1781. William witnessed the marriage in Bertie Co between Jesse Collins and Sarah Keen on 18 May 1802. William left his will in Bertie Co dated 18 December 1802, and it was proven there in February 1803 (or 1808?). He named his wife Susannah _____, and sons and daughters. Susannah was still living in Bertie Co in 1810. She made her will in Bertie Co on 5 March 1813 and died in April or May the following year. In this will she named her daughter Elizabeth Baker. The executors of William's estate were his son William, and his brother Solomon Cherry. William's children were- a. William Cherry Jr, b abt 1779 b. Elizabeth Cherry, b abt 1780 c. Solomon Cherry, b abt 1781 d. Wiley Cherry, b abt 1783 e. Sarah Cherry, b 1785 f. Phoebe Cherry, b 1780s? g. Polly Cherry, b 1780s? h. Martha Cherry, b bef 1775? (57,77,NW,WD,DK, C,6mt))

William Cherry [unknown], of Edgecombe Co NC, left an estate which was opened on 22 February 1808 in Edgecombe Co; Micajah Mayo was the administrator. Buyers at the estate were Susannah Cherry, Samuel Cherry, Roderick Cherry, Willis Cherry, Solomon Cherry, and Luke Cherry. Of these buyers, Luke and Roderick were brothers; who Susannah was is not known. Perhaps she was the wife / widow of a brother, a possible second wife of William, or a sister. Willis was a son of Henry Cherry Jr of Beaufort Co. Solomon Cherry was a brother of Samuel, and died within a year. (86, JY,WD)

William Cherry [C1a8f5], son of Charles Cherry and Winifred Mercer, was born about 1772 in NC. William moved to Montgomery Co TN about 1808; his brother Charles Cherry The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 835

Jr [C1a8f4] had moved there about this time. In 1809, William Cherry "of Montgomery County," bought 320 acres in Stewart Co. He was taxed for his land in 1809, 340 acres in Capt Ross’ District on Caney Fork of Saline Creek. Some of this land purchase was next to Benjamin Shepherd’s 1,000 acres. William was one of the earliest Stewart Co sheriffs. There were actually two early Wil- liam Cherry men who held these sheriff / constable jobs. The first record was on 5 May 1812 when "William Cherry" (and others) posted bonds to be sheriffs. In 1819 & 1820 William Cherry was constable for the town of Dover. On 15 January 1821, Henry Pugh, agent for Whitmill Pugh of Louisiana, sold to Wil- liam Cherry two tracts of 80 acres each on the south side of Lick Creek for $500, parts of grants #9707 & #9708; witnesses were Emanuel James and James Miller. Lick Creek is the stream just east of Dover about a mile; it flows north into the Cumberland River, and is actually a wide bay just east of Dover. But it’s southern end is an actual creek, and runs roughly southwest to northeast into the south end of the bay portion of Lick Creek. Wil- liam’s new acre purchase must have been on the south side of the creek, very close to his home. This land purchase was about 1.2 miles southeast of Dover. On 13 March 1838 William B Cherry Sr was sheriff. He held this title to 1846. On 6 April 1840 William B Cherry posted a constable bond for Districts 10 & 11; on 5 February 1821 William Cherry was elected constable for Captain Bailey’s company. Since there were two William Cherry men in Stewart Co during these pre-1830 years – the other was distant cousin William W Cherry who always used his middle initial W – then the sheriff / constable must have been the one married to Polly. The William B Cherry sheriff / constable of a generation later was a son of William and Polly. William married Polly ____ in the late 1790s or early 1800s. She was born in the 1780s. Because William’s eldest child was born in 1792, Polly was probably a second wife. In 1820 he was the "Wm Cherry" who was on census page 112. William wrote his will on 12 May 1826 and died in Stewart Co on 14 October 1826 at his home on Lick Creek. He was buried in Greenwood Cemetery at Clarksville in Montgomery Co. Settlement of his estate took about two years. His will is shown below. He named: "my wife" (no name); she received the 60 acre tract on the west side of Lick Creek where she now lives, one horse, one plow and grain, one milk cow and calf, and one bed and furniture; "my daughter Nica Hickson" received One Dollar; "the balance of my estate to be equally devided between my children" (children not named, other than Nica Hickson). Executors named were Thomas Dodd and Lemuel Cherry. William could not sign his name, but made his mark. The will was entered into probate in August 1826, after some of his assetts were sold at public auction in June 1826. Polly was still in Stewart Co in 1830 and 1840; in 1840 (page 339) she was close to Joel Biggs. Joel Biggs’ father John Biggs was from Martin Co NC and lived close to the elder of the two William Cherry men in 1820 (Polly’s husband). We cannot tell who widow Polly’s neighbors were in 1830 since the census taker alphabeticalized the names. But since the 1820 census showed the elder of the two William Cherry men living close to John Biggs, then we can assume that was the husband of Polly living close to Joel Biggs in 1840. Joel was the executor for the John Biggs estate, Joe’s father’s. In 1840 there were two young adults and two children living with Polly. A deed record of 12 November 1829 placed where the younger William W Cherry lived ("on N. side of Cumberland River). Since Polly’s husband was a constable for the town of Dover in the 1819-1820 years, then he likely lived 836 And NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA

at Dover or close by. Dover is on the south side of the Cumberland River about where the river bends northward near the western edge of Stewart Co. In 1840 in Mary’s home (she was Polly Cherry in 1840)., there was an adult child and spouse, plus a grandson age 5-9. The male (son-in-law?) was age 30s,and the female (daugh- ter?) was age 20s. William and Polly had five children, but William probably had more from a first mar- riage. The children shown here have ages that agree with the 1820 and 1830 census records, and if they lived to 1850, these ages / birth years below also agree with the 1850 census- a. Lucinda Cherry, b 1792 (mar ried by 1820) b. Vicey Cherry, b 1800 (married by 1820) c. dau Cherry, b abt 1803 (age 16-25 in 1820), married Thomas Dodd (Lemuel G Cherry married Delilah A Dodd, sister of Thomas Dodd), and died between 1842 and 1850. Thomas was living in Greene Co TN's 9th Division East in 1850, and was born in TN in 1799. He was a farmer. Their six children were all born in TN- 1. William C Dodd, b 1830 2. John P Dodd, b 1832 3. Jacob Dodd, b 1835 4. Mary Dodd, b 1837 5. McKendry Dodd, b 1840 6. Richard W Dodd, b 1842 Greene Co is at the eastern edge of TN, next to NC. Most of the other siblings of Tho- mas' wife lived in the Stewart-to-Sumner Co area of west-central TN where her father lived. The earliest marriage records from Montgomery Co start in 1838. (HD,JY, 51n) d. Lemuel G Cherry, b 1805 (age 10-15 in 1820, 45 in 1850). He had his own home in 1830. (37ij) e. William B Cherry, b 21 Jan 1808 f. Narcissa Cherry, b 1809 (age under 10 in 1820) g. Eli J Cherry, b abt 1817 (age under 10 in 1820, 10-14 in 1830, died late 1840s) h. Henry G Cherry, b 1820 (age under 10 in 1820, 10-14 in 1830, was still at home in 1830, but had his on home in 1840) i. son Cherry, b 1821-1825, age 15-19 in 1840 (he could have been a grandson). (37jk) In 1808, this part of TN was wilderness with mountain lions and bear; there were no decent roads to take families and many heavy supplies from NC to this part of TN. Hence, it was likely that William and his brother Charles Jr traveled with their families and a minium of supplies by wagon train to the Cumberland River in southeast KY. Then via the Cumberland River they could go west to the Stewart-Montgomery County area of (then) western TN. Once there, and after they set up homesteads, they could use the Tennessee River or Cumberland River to go north to Paducah, KY and further upriver eastward along the Ohio River to get other supplies at Owensboro in northern Hardin Co KY. The Cumberland River flows east to west, weaving between the KY-TN border; it passes through Montgomery Co TN and once in southeast Stewart Co TN, it heads north and ties into the northbound Tennessee River passing through western KY. John Biggs, from Martin Co NC, was born 11 Oct 1772 in NC, and died in 1837 in Stewart Co TN. The other of the two pioneer William Cherry men of Stewart Co, William W Cherry [C1a6b2a2], was a Baptist Church member. See the Skewarkey Church notes on page 892 following his biography. The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 837

In Stewart Co in 1831 there were eight Cherry people listed on an 1831 tax roster: Mary Cherry, owned 100 acres on Lick Creek (widow of William); Wil- liam B Cherry with one Black person; Lemuel Cherry; William W Cherry, owned 66 acres along Dryers & Saline Creeks; Nehe- miah Cherry; David Cherry, owned 30 acres; Charles Cherry, owned 333 acres in Capt Mar- tain's District; William H Cherry, owned 40 acres along Dryers Creek in Capt Hogan's District. In 1832 another Cherry was added to the Tax list: Henry E Cherry who owned 100 acres. In 1833 Daniel Cherry first appeared on the county’s tax roster, owning 51 acres. The next name added to the tax list was in 1838: James N Cherry in District 3. The 1838 listing had four William Cherry men: William N with 100 acres and William N again with 155 acres, William W with 100 acres, and William B with 295 acres. The 1841 tax list added Albert Cherry and T J Cherry. H G Cherry was shown for the first time on the 1842 tax roster. In 1847 Benjamin Cherry with 40 acres was added, and there was now James M Cherry in District 4, plus J M Cherry Sr, and Jas H Cherry. Bradley Cherry was added in 1848. Also in 1847 to 1851 W B Cherry was responsible for the taxable properties of the heirs of W H West. W B Cherry was the administrator or executor of the West estate, and guardian of the 838 And NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA

West heirs. The West estate owned 266 acres in District 5. Henry G Cherry was shown in the 1849 roster.

Most marriage Records for Stewart Co TN do not exist prior to the Civil War; the court house burned during that war. Note that it was not always the Union soldiers who burned The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 839

Southern court houses during the war. There have been documented cases where the court house was set fire before the Union Army reached town, and all court house records for pending crimimnal cases were burned. Hence, locals in jail could not be prosecuted without damaging evidence for their court trials. W B Cherry was responsible for the taxable properties of the heirs of W H West. W B Cherry was daughter The Cumberland Presbyterians effected an organization in Stewart County in about 1812 or 1814, yet churches were not built until a later day. Probably the first meetings of any congregations of this denomination in the county were held at the residence of William Cherry which stood one mile south of Dover, some time during the above years. For several years the meetings of this church were held at camp grounds, of which they had three, they being situated on Wells and Lick Creeks and at Duck Springs. The first Cumberland Presbyterian Church was erected about 1816 or 1818, and stood near the Kentucky line. At about the same time a log church was erected on Cane Creek, where also stood a camp ground, and a congregation also met in the Methodist Church on Bear Creek. There are but three Cumberland Presbyterian Churches in the county, they being the Bethel Church, on Elk Creek; Liberty Church, three miles west of Dover, and Mount Zion Church, in the Ninth District.

William Cherry [C1a8p3], son of Willis W Cherry and Sarah _____ of Duplin Co NC, was born between 1776 and 1780 in Duplin Co. He was living in Duplin Co in 1810 and 1820 with his wife and their children. The next door neighbor in 1810 was Elijah Bizzell, with Will's brother Lemuel Cherry just four doors on the other side of William. Will's three children in 1810 were under the age of 10. In 1820 they were between the ages of 15 and infancy, with five of them under the age of ten. Therefore it would appear that since the two oldest girls were between 10 and 15 in 1820, Will's marriage date would have been about 1805. It was not in Duplin Co. He was not in Duplin Co in 1830. His children were- a. dau Cherry, b 1805-1810 b. dau Cherry, b 1805-1810 c. Bryan Cherry, b 1801-1810 d. son Cherry, b 1811-1820 e. dau Cherry, b 1811-1820 f. son Cherry, b 1811-1820 g. son Cherry, b 1811-1820 (68,DK,35aehip)

William Cherry Jr [C1a7f7a], son of William Cherry and Susannah _____ of Bertie Co NC, was born about 1779 in Bertie Co. He married Peggy Baker there on 13 November 1801. Bond was posted by William, and a witness to the marriage was G(eorge?) Cherry. William was a graduate of the University of NC in the class of 1800. He was a trustee of the University from 1804 to 1809. "He had a brilliant career as an attorney until his untimely death hastened by intemperance, at the age of twenty seven." (93,105,C, WD, N,6m)

William Cherry [C1a8k5], son of Samuel M Cherry and Mary Moore, was born about 1786 in Pitt Co NC. He was named in his father's 13 May 1813 will as "my son William Cherry." William married Delaney "Laney" _____, probably about 1808 from the ages of the children in the 1810 and 1820 census. He died by 1829, probably in Pitt Co where they lived. The 1810 census of Pitt Co had only one William Cherry (who was living next to Lamuel Cherry, George Cherry, and John Cherry). In 1810 he had one child, a son. His wife was 848 And NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA

born between 1785 and 1794 (1790 per 1860 census). The 1820 census of Pitt Co also had only one William Cherry. He was born between 1776 and 1794, as was his wife. and had three boys and three girls under the age of 10, plus one son between 10 and 15. Therefore, the 1810 & 1820 William must have been the son of Samuel; the number of children, and their approximate ages, closely fits later census records, and agrees with other sources. On 21 November 1829 Lewis Smith gave to Laney Cherry, "now widow," land and Negroes during her lifetime and afterwards the land and Negroes were to pass to her children (Pitt Co deed book CC, page 562). Therefore, William had died by November 1829, and Laney may have been Laney Smith. She called herself "Delany Cherry" in the 1830 Pitt Co census, and gave her age as in the 30s (born in the 1790s), and had four slaves. Hence she could have been the mother of all of William's children, if she was born in the early 1790s. Census records from 1810 through 1840 indicate that she was. Lany was probably the woman who was in her 50s living with her son Samuel in 1840. On 17 April 1843 in Pitt Co she made a gift of deed to her children (Book KK, page 223), and in this deed she named her children. Lany was living with her daughter Luzina near Greenville in 1860, and was 70 years old, born in NC. Hence she was born in 1790. William had nine children- a. Samuel Cherry, b abt 1809 b. Margaret Ann Cherry, b 1812 c. Luzina Irene Cherry, b 10 Dec 1813 d. James P Cherry, b abt 1816 e. Lemuel Cherry, b 1819 f. Darling Cherry, b abt 1822 g. Julia Cherry, b 1823 h. Patience Cherry, b abt 1826 i. Daniel Cherry, b abt 1827 In Delany's home in 1830 there was an extra young male, in his 20s, who was not on the previous two census records. He could have been a close relative who moved in after her husband's recent death, in order to help with the farm work. (57,WD,7ijknzq)

William Cherry [C2d2a], son of Peterson Cherry and Sarah _____, was born about 1791 in Rowan Co NC (born 1791-1800 per 1830 census). The 1820 census of Overton Co TN is the first census where William’s name appears. William (age 26-44) was living 20 doors from Wesley Cherry (age 16-25), and next door to Elijah Cherry (age 26-44); they were on census page 259. Peterson Cherry (age 45 & older) was on census page 254, and James H Cherry (age 45 & older) was on page 256. There were 20 Overton Co census pages in 1820, so the nearness of all of these five Cherry families indicates they were close relatives. In William’s home, in 1820 were William, age 26-44, a son under age 10, four daughters under age 10, four females ages 16-25 (sisters?), and William’s apparent wife, age 26-44. The birth dates of all of William’s children, as determined from later census records and gravestone dates, was very accurately shown in the 1830 census in Overton Co. Therefore, William’s age should also be assumed to be accurate. The 1830 census showed he was age 30 to 39, or born 1791 to 1800. Since his parents had moved south to Rowan Co NC in the summer of 1790, William must have been born there. Living close by in 1830 was John Cherry, same age as William, and their father Peterson Cherry, born in the 1760s, and their mother, also born in the 1760s. William lived in GA in 1800 and 1801 (his father was on the Franklin Co GA tax list then), then lived in Overton Co TN, and died on 7 October 1836 at Palmyra, Macoupin Co IL. He married Ann Crawford in KY around 1810. The state of KY was the northern boundry line of Overton Co TN in 1810, so even though William may have married Ann in KY, that may have just been in Cumberland Co KY, a short horse ride north of his TN home. In 1810 Overton Co was at the exact north central edge of TN; the western one third of the present day state was not part of TN, but was wild, untamed Indian lands then. Anna was born 9 March 1788, daughter of Edward Crawford and Abigail Trowbridge, and died 17 October 1845 in Macoupin Co IL. She was buried in Cherry Cemetery at Palmyra, Macoupin Co. Her gravestone says "ANNA / WIFE OF / WM. CHERRY / DIED Oct. 17, 1845 / AGED /57 YEARS." The Cherry Cemetery was where many descendants of Benjamin Cherry [C2] were buried. William and Anna had nine known children- 1. Nancy Carolina Cherry, b abt 1812 2. Sarah Cherry, b 27 Feb 1813 3. dau Cherry, b abt 1814, was one of the four daughters in the 1820 Overton Co census. She perhaps died (or married?) in the 1820s since the 1830 census did not show her. (70i) 4. Matilda Cherry, b 1816 5. Pleasant Ferris Cherry, b 9 Jan 1819 6. William G Cherry, b 1821 7.

William Cherry [C1a5b2c2], son of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Mayo of Martin Co NC, was born in Martin Co, probably in the 1790s. He was named in his grandfather's 26 July 1815 will as a grandson. William was not named in his father's 24 July 1823 will, although his five youngest brothers and sisters were. So perhaps William may have already received his inheritance. (77,1aep)

William Cherry [C1a6h2a], son of Caleb Cherry Jr and an unknown mother, was born early in the 1790s. He was possibly an elder son of Caleb Cherry of Davidson Co TN. Wil- liam was shown on the 1811 tax roster in Davidson Co, although Caleb Cherry was not. Hence William was at least age 16 in 1811 (born by 1795). He married Rebecca Bell in Davidson Co on 09 July 1814. In 1820 in Davidson Co he had a young wife and just one child under the age of 10. William's wife was born between 1795 and 1804. They were not found in the area in 1830, and since brother Thomas was the administrator of father Caleb Cherry's estate, William must not have been in the area in 1825, or had died. William had one son, perhaps two since there were two boys under the age of 10 in Caleb Cherry's home in 1820 (William's sons?)- a. son Cherry, b 1810s in Davidson Co TN. (53,16i)

William Cherry [C1a8j7], son of Lemuel Cherry and Nancy Ann Moring, was born about 1792 in Pitt Co NC (born 1785-1794 per 1810 census, born 1776-1794 per 1820 census). He was married, living next to his brother George (born 1785-1794) and father in Pitt Co in 1810. In 1920 he and his family were still in Pitt Co, in a neighborhood (Capt Wallis District) of Brooks, Williams, Smith, Evans, and Tison families; Jesse Cherry (born 1776-1794) lived close by. William's wife was also born 1776-1794. William was not found in Pitt Co in 1820, but there was another younger William Cherry who was born in the 1800s (William's eldest son?). They had a son by 1810, then six more children by 1820- a. son Cherry, b 1801-1810 (7hi) b. son Cherry, b 1811-1820 (7i) c.

William Cherry [unknown], of Pitt Co NC, was born about 1808 in NC. He was a farmer in Parker's district, Pitt Co in 1850. His wife was Talitha Dudley and they were mar- ried about 1830. There was no William Cherry family in Pitt Co in 1830, so if William and Talitha married before the 1830 census, they must have lived with one of their parents. There were five Cherry families in Pitt Co in 1830: Artamipey Cherry on page 71; Delany Cherry on page 73; Jesse M Cherry on page 73; Roderick Cherry on page 83; and John Cherry on page 86. In Artamipey Cherry's home there was a couple of the ages of Williamd Talitha, plus Artamipey; in all the other Cherry homes there was no one who could be William or Talitha. Also in Pitt Co in 1830 there were five Dudley families: Enoch Dudley on page 52; Irvin Dudley on page 80; Rachel Dudley on page 80; Pulasky Dudley on page 86; and Samuel Dudley on page 89. In Rachel Dudley's (born 1770s) home there was a male and female of William's and Talitha's ages. In the other Dudley homes there was no daughter of Talitha's age. Talitha was born in NC in 1811 (age 20-29 in 1840). In 1850 they lived eight doors from Rippon Ward and his wife Mary Ann Albritton; Mary was the widow of John Cherry (born in 1805) of Pitt Co. By 1860 Talitha and William had moved to Beaufort Co, and settled among many of the Leggett families in Tranters Creek. William had ten children by 1860- 1. dau Cherry, b abt 1830 (age 1826-1830 in 1840) (7k) 2. John Josephus Cherry, b 1832 (age 75 in 1910). He married Mary J Boyd in Pitt Co on 20 November 1858.

William Cherry [C1a8c1a3f], son of John W Cherry and Elizabeth Boyer, was born between 1831 and 1835 in Howard or Linn Co MO. He may have died in the 1840s because he was not living with his widowed mother in 1850. (90,54n)

William Cherry [C2d2a5a], son of Pleasant Ferris Cherry and Martha Patsy Tosh, was born in 1841 in Macoupin Co IL. (60nq)

William Cherry [C1a8i2b11], son of Henry Cherry and Sarah Driggers, was born in October 1857 in White Co IL. He lived in Phillips Twp for at least 42 years, and never mar- ried. His mother lived with him in 1900 (using the Cherry name). (159qrs)

William Cherry [C1a8f5h1a], son of John Randolph Cherry and Mary Jane Sikes, was born 4 February 1866 in Stewart Co TN, died there on 28 May 1877, and was buried in Ralls Cemetery. His gravestone says "SON OF J R & M J." His is the only Cherry grave in this cemetery. (W,37c)

William Cherry [C1a8i3i1i], son of William Bailey Cherry and Sarah Mary E Palmer, was born in 1883 in Warren Co KY, and grew up in TX from infancy. He married Willie _____ in 1904. She was born in TX in 1887. They lived at Sherman, Grayson Co TX in 1910 where he worked in a laundry (his brother Robert Eugene Cherry's laundry?). William died 24 February 1913 at Sherman and was buried there. John C Daniel was the informant for his death certificate. They had a son- 1. George Cherry, b 1905 at Sherman, Grayson Co TX. (271v) (271vd)

William A Cherry [C1a6e6g], perhaps a son (or grandson?) of Abner Cherry of Martin Co NC, was born in 1806 (or 1808?) in Martin Co. By 1861 he was in Bibb Co GA. On January 21 that year he was named as an executor and trustee for the will of Arthur Stotesbury in Bibb Co (will book B, page 184). Stotesbury died by early summer in 1861. In the Stotesbury will, Job H (or N) Cherry was a witness. Because Abner Cherry had two unknown sons (born about 1806 and 1808), and because some of Abner's children had moved to Bibb Co and were of the only Cherry clan in the county before 1860, and because Abner also had a son Job S Cherry who did live in Bibb Co, William is here assumed to be one of the two unidentified sons of Abner. From information of Sandra Riner of Eidson, TN, this William was probably the Wil- liam Cherry, born in NC in 1804, and who married Edna Perry Heard in Bibb Co on 25 Octo- ber 1842. Edna was a daughter of James Heard and Nancy Foreman, both from Barnwell District SC. William died in GA on 2 June 1863. He and Edna had eight children, born in Hopston Co GA- 1.

William A Cherry [C1a8j4a4], son of John Cherry and Mary Ann Albritton, was born in 1838 in Pitt Co NC. He was a member of the Legislature and Register of Deeds before his death before 1883; in 1860 he was "Gentleman" W A Cherry living next door to the George A Dancy family in the town of Greenville. William had recently married M A _____. She was born in NC in 1843. (88,7knq)

William Alfred Cherry [C1a3f6d4b8], son of Scerenus Cecil Cherry and Beedie Ann Austin, was born 18 May 1897, and died on 3 March 1957. He married Virgie Moss and they had two children- a. Von Varo Cherry, b 1927, married James Cloud. b. Harvey Sue Cherry, b 1933, married Buford Snider. (77)

William Allen Cherry [C1a7f4e2a1], son of Joseph William Cherry and Pennaritta Pritchard, was born in 1860 in Bertie Co NC. He married Margaret Hargrove on 20 Decem- ber 1894, and died in 1945. They had two children- a. Ruth Hargrove Cherry, b 1895, died in 1971. She married John Milton Cullette. They had two children- 1. Margaret Bain Cullette, b 1922. She married _____ Truslow. 2. Mary Emily Cullette, b 1929 (77) b. Sally T Cherry, b 1897 (77,6s)

William B Cherry [C1a8i3], son of Solomon Cherry and Sofia _____ (Staton?) was born about 1766 in Edgecombe Co NC. He married Lottie Hopkins of NC and they had eight children, then William married Frances Taylor in Edgecombe Co on 25 May 1805. Frances was a relative of William Taylor, and a daughter of Joseph Taylor (17510-1818) and Sarah Elizabeth Best (1760-1834). They had ten children from 1806 to 1828. Frances was born about 1784 in Edgecombe Co NC. In 1790 in Edgecombe Co there were two William Cherry families; neither had a son, and both had two females. Therefore it would be likely that there was only one William Cherry family, and the census taker made a duplicate entry, skipping the William who later moved to Warren Co KY. The 1800 Edgecombe Co census had no William Cherry entries, but Bertie Co had two: one as a Jr and one as a Sr. Neither had sons to match the ages of William, born in 1766. William Jr of Bertie Co in 1800 had two sons, as did William Sr; both sets of sons were between the ages of 16 and 24. In 1790 in Bertie Co there was but one William Cherry, and that one had three sons under the age of 16. William (of Edgecombe Co) was living in Warren Co KY in 1810; there were two William Cherry families in Warren Co then, but the William of Edgecombe Co was the elder of the two, and his wife's age fit the birth date of Frances. In William's house were a second male adult over the age of 45 (a father-in-law?) and near-adult children from his first marriage, plus younger children. The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 857

William may have lived close to Big Barren River because on 20 November 1811 he (as "Wm B Cherry"), William Taylor, and Allen Taylor witnessed a 144 acre land sale from John Moss and his wife Drucilla to Joseph Taylor for £120. And on 23 August 1816 Reuben Hammett and his wife Rebecca sold 200 acres on the waters of Gasper River to William Cherry for $500. On 12 March 1817 "William Cherry and wife Franky Cherry" sold 150 acres on the waters of Lost Creek of Green River to Reuben Hammett for $400. In this transaction Franky relinquished her dower. William's land was along William Allen's property line. William B Cherry died in Warren Co KY on 22 September 1828 and was buried at Richardsville in Halls Chapel Cemetery. In 1820 he and Frances were not found in Warren Co, so may have been living with a child. In 1850 Frances was living with her son George in Warren Co. Widow "Frances Cherry," age 69 and born in "Edgecombe Co NC," daughter of "James & Sally Taylor" died 17 November 1852 in Warren Co of a fever, and was buried in Taylor Cemetery at Richardsville. William had eighteen children with both wives- a. Obadiah Cherry, b abt 1784 b. Tommie Frances Cherry, b 1785 c. Jane Cherry, b 1790 d. Samuel Cherry, b 1792 e. Lavina Cherry, b 18 Aug 1794 f.

Bailey Harrison Cherry, b 10 Jun 1827 From Deed Book 17, page 316 in Edgecombe Co NC, Eurodica Council made a gift to her grandchildren living in KY; the grandchildren were heirs of Eurodica's daughter Charlotte Cherry. And the 1805 will of Charles Council in Edgecombe Co named wife Dice, and daughter Charlotte Cherry who had children; a witness to this will was William Cherry. There was no indication, in 1805, that daughter Charlotte lived in KY then. (83,95) A "Miss Mary Ann Cherry" married Elijah Upton in Warren Co, as his second wife on 29 August 1826. Elijah was born in Wythe Co VA on 30 August 1783, but grew up in Warren Co KY. His first wife was Elizabeth Ford, whom he married in Warren Co on 4 April 1812; she died in 1826 after the birth of her sixth child. Mary died in 1850, but had no children. Elijah died in Warren Co in 1863. This Mary Cherry does not appear to be connected to the William Cherry clan, unless she was the widow of William Cherry's son Samuel.

William B Cherry [C1a8f5e], son of William Cherry and Polly _____, was born 21 January 1808 in Edgecombe Co NC (age 10-15 in 1820. He was living in Stewart Co TN in 1850 with his wife Sarah Eliza West. They married in Stewart Co on 24 March 1842. She was born in TN in 1827, thus making her 16 years old when they were married. William served in the General Assembly from 1839 to 1845, and was the county sheriff from 1837 to 1840 (his father was also a sheriff). William B was also the captain of the local militia. Living with William in 1850 was James West (Sarah's brother?), born in 1831, and William B Daniel, born in 1831. Captain William B Cherry died 27 January 1859 and was buried in Dover Cemetery in Stewart Co "Aged 50 yrs 11 mos 27 days." Sarah had no children by 1850, but in 1860 living with them in Decatur Co were (they are shown here in the order they were listed in the 1860 census)- 1. A J Cherry (son), b 1846 (41q) 2. S C Cherry (son), b 1848 (41q) 3. P Cherry (dau), b 1854 (41q) 4. Mary Cherry, b 1859 (41q) 5. J W Cherry (son), b 1856 (41q) 6. W H Cherry (son), b 1858. He had the word "Inmnate" next to his name in the 1860 census. (41q) 7. A Cherry (dau), b 1842. She was shown last in the 1860 census, as if she was a step- daughter. (41q) There were two William Cherry men born in the 1808-1810 years who lived in Stewart Co into the 1850s: William B Cherry, and William Henry Cherry [C1a6b2a2f],born in 1810. The evidence shows that William B was a son of the sheriff because he also became a sheriff and lived in the same area where the elder sheriff lived, near Dover. William H lived in the Indian Mound area of the county. Both had children, and William B Cherry died 27 Jan 1859 and was buried in Dover Cemetery. Dover is in the center of the county, on the south side of the Cumberland River; Indian Mound is near the center of the eastern edge of the county, and north of the Cumberland River William Henry Cherry died in 1866.

William was dead by 1880, and Sarah then lived at Valley, Macon Co. She has typhoid fever then, so may have died in the 1880s. William and Sarah had at least nine children by 1868- a.

William Franklin Cherry [C2d1c3b8], son of Amos J Cherry and Alice J Noe, was born 8 February 1882 in Christian Co IL, and died 27 May 1942 at Dekalb, IL. His death certificate gave his parents as "Amos J Cherry" and "Alice J Noe," and had an 8 February 1875 birth date. The 1880 census does not show this son in the Amos J Cherry home. It does show son William H Cherry, age 2, daughter Flora age 4, and Peter M Cherry, age 6. Christian Co is two counties northeast of Macoupin Co and just east of Sangamon Co. But since Alice Noe stated that she had 13 children by 1900, then this William appears to be the missing child. He worked for the railroad. His birth date was adjusted to be about 1882 since he would have been of age by 1900 to be on his own, and was also not shown in the 1880 census. (147d)

William G Cherry [C2d2a6], son of William Cherry and Ann Crawford, was born in 1821 in Overton Co TN, and died 27 October 1836 in Macoupin Co IL, probably of the same illness that took his father 20 days earlier. His gravestone says "SON OF Wm & A" and says he was age 15. (W,70j,60kc)

William Gray Cherry [C1a8c1m2], probably a son of Lawrence Cherry and Fannie Grey Thigpen, lived in Martin Co NC in 1850 with his wife Martha _____ and children. Gray was born in 1823 in NC (he was born in 1823 per 1850 census, was not shown in 1860 census although new wife Cynthia and children were; was born in 1817 per 1870 census, and was born in 1820 per 1880 census). Martha was born in 1821 in NC. In 1850 they lived next door to Eli Cherry and Eli's wife Mary E Thigpen. The name Gray, and the fact that he lived next door to Eli indicate that his parents were probably Lawrence and Fannie. In the 1850s Martha must have died, and Gray then married Cynthia Peal, but he was not shown in her household in 1860 (children Caroline, John David, Nancy, and new wife Cynthia were). Cynthia was living at Williamston then. She was born on NC in 1818, daughter of Abram Peal and Nancy _____. Gray died on 10 October 1881. He had four to six children with Martha, and probably one or two with Cynthia, all born in Martin Co- a, Mary A Cherry, b 1843, was living with her parents (Gray & Martha Cherry) in 1850, but was not found afterwards.

In 1870 she was living with 866 And NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA

her father and step-mother (Wm G & Sinthia Cherry); she was not married by 1880, and was living with her widowed father (Gray Cherry). (1nqrs) e. John David Cherry, b 1851 in Martin Co, was living with his step-mother in 1860, and was not living with his father in 1880. (1qrs) f. Nancy Cherry, b 1853 in Martin Co, was not married by 1880 and was living with her father. (1rs) g. Cynthia F Cherry, b 1857 in Martin Co, had married or died by 1880. (1rs) Gray's name was spelled with the letter "a", not "e", in two different census records, so is here left with that spelling. In 1850 a Hester Cherry, age 7, and Abram Barnhill, age 4, were living with Gray and Martha; in 1860 Hester was living with Mrs Cynthia Cherry and was the last apparent daughter listed, even though she was the eldest. Hester had apparently married a Mr Barnhill soon before 1860, but her husband was not shown. Or perhaps the 1850 census was in error and Hester's actual name was Barnhill. There is a 12 February 1861 Martin Co will written by Abram Peal in which he named wife Nancy Peal, grandson Abram P Barnhill, granddaughter Mary L Barnhill, daughter Cynthia Cherry and her husband William G Cherry. There were two grandchildren living with Gray and Cynthia in 1880: Harriet Cherry, age 13, and Retta Cherry, age 6. Because of their birth dates, they could not have been children of Gray's sons, but instead must have been children of one of Gray's eldest three daughters. (91,1nrs)

In the Saline Creek Stewart Co Baptist Church Minutes, it says, "On October 19, 1816, Wm and Lydia Cherry were admitted from the Big Flat Church in Bedford County, Tennessee." Since the pre-1850 census records show very little information compared to the 1850 and later census records, it is useful to look at church records to learn who lived in the area of one church, in order to find names not shown on the pre-1850 census records, and to also show who probable neighbors were: Saline Creek Baptist Church was created on 19 May 1810, as a branch out of the Dry Creek church just across the state line in Kentucky.

During the meetings of January through March 1818 of Saline Creek Baptist Church, John Ferrill got into a big argument with other members about a certificate or land ownership on some land that he gave to the church. John Ferrill was excluded from the church at the March meeting. Cornelius Anderson and Jesse Morris were excluded at the September 1818 meeting, and one month later, John Biggs was also excluded. In November, Robert Warren, William and Lydia Cherry, Nancy Biggs, Sally Morris, and Elizabeth Hooks all were excluded.

William Walker Cherry [C1a6e4h2], son of William Clark Cherry and Mary C Walker, was born 15 August 1836 in Maury Co TN. In 1850 he was living with his uncle Pleasant Nelson. William was a coach maker, and married Mariah W Polk in Maury Co on 6 April 1858. She was born on 24 February 1841 in TN, daughter of Gideon Polk and Mary C White. Mariah died on 22 December 1899 and was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery at Columbia. William died on 9 January 1907 and is also buried in Rose Hill Cemetery. They had five children- a.

William Walton Cherry [C1a8h3b], son of Solomon Cherry and Mary Cherry of Bertie Co NC, was born in 1806 in Bertie Co near Windsor. There were many instances of William W Cherry in Bertie Co in the 1820s and 1830s, then little after 1832; he was a State Senator in 1838. William W Cherry married Mary H Etheridge of Colerain in Bertie Co on 6 August 1827. The marriage was witnessed by Thomas G Peters, and the bond was posted by Richard Russell. William was in the mercantile business for about two years, taught school, and afterwards began the study of law. In 1838, after two unsuccessful attempts, he defeated Dr Alexander Mebane for the state senate. William was largely responsible for the establishment of free public education in NC. In 1840 he was a delegate to the national convention of the Whig party in Harrisburg, PA. In 1844 William was again in the NC legislature, this time in the House of Commons representing Bertie Co. In 1845 he was nominated as the Whig candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from the first district, but died the following week, on May 2, at age 39. In May 1845 in Bertie Co William's will was probated. In it he named Mary H Cherry, Mary Eliza Holder, and Hannah Maria Holder. Mary H Cherry, age 41 and born in NC, was living with Joseph H Etheridge (age 37) in Bertie Co in 1850. This would place William's wife's birth date at 1809. She would have been age 18 when they were married. Apparently Joseph Etheridge was Mary's younger brother. And living with the Joseph Etheridge family was Mariah C Holder, age 18 and born in TN. Since William did not mention any children of his own in his will, he and Mary probably had none. In 1840 the Bertie Co census shows three children who could have been William's (the three children were aged around 10), but there was an extra woman in her 20s (perhaps 29?) living with William and his wife. Perhaps the extra young woman was a widowed sister or sister-in-law. They lived at his plantation "The Oaks," which his widow Mary sold to William's brother Joseph Blount Cherry in 1850. Mary was still living in Bertie Co in 1860 with Joseph Etheridge, and was still in Bertie Co in 1870 (pg 179). (93,98,105,C,6mnq)

Willis Cherry [C1a6c], son of William Cherry and Elizabeth Tart of Norfolk Co VA, was born in 1708 in Norfolk Co. He was in his father's November 1736 will, and was in Norfolk Co VA in 1785. (57,77,WD,PA,JA,28p)

Willis Cherry [C1a5c1h], son of Jesse Cherry and Mary Riddick, was born in the 1760s in Martin Co NC. (77)

Willis Cherry [C1a8i2], son of Solomon Cherry and Sofia _____ (Staton?) was born about 1764 in Pitt Co NC. He was the Willis Cherry who married Charlotte Council (sister of Clary Council who married Solomon Cherry. This couple had married by late 1790s, pro- bably in Edgecombe Co, and in 1815 they were living in Warren Co KY. Charlotte was born 4 December 1777. On 12 May 1814, Clary's and Charlotte's mother Eurodica Council made a deed of gift to "the heirs of my daughter Charlotte Cherry" who lives in the state of Kentucky." A deed dated 2 June 1815 and recorded in Warren Co conveyed 200 acres on the waters of Clifty Creek from Willis Cherry and wife Lotty (she relinquished her dower here) to William Mitchell for $550; witnesses were Samuel A Bozeman and John McFadin. And on 15 March 1818 Willis Cherry and Richard Lemasters witnessed a land sale from John Laninham and his wife Marget to Jonathan Parker, land on the waters of Clay Lick Creek in The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 897

Warren Co. In Warren Co on 29 May 1820 Elijah Hammett and his wife Catherine sold 100 acres to Robert Daugherty for $500, land at the east corner of the Willis Cherry survey. Soon before 1820 Willis and family had moved four counties northwest to newly formed White Co IL. He bought 16,000 acres (25 square miles) there on 4 October 1819 for $200. He was still in White Co on 22 November 1820 when the Federal census was taken. There was a Willis Cherry in Madison Co IL in 1830 (west side of IL); that Willis was born in the 1790s. The only Cherry in White Co in 1830 was Henry Cherry, born in the 1800s, as was his wife. Willis had probably died in the 1820s, and since he was a widow by May 1814, his unmar- ried children were then taken in by neighbors and other older relatives. Son Henry did not have any siblings in his home in 1830. Hence, Henry, the eldest son, was the only Cherry name in the 1830 White Co IL census. Cherry marriages took place in the 1849-1861 years who could be of Willis’ younger children, or they were Willis’ grandchildren, children of sons Henry, and Jesse, and Howell. Willis’ children were- a. Temperance Cherry, b abt 1799 b. Henry Cherry, b1802 c. Lucinda Cherry, b 1804 d. Jesse Cherry, b 1805 e. Howell Cherry, b 1807 in NC f. dau Cherry, b 1811-1820 (159i) In 1850 the only Cherry names in Warren Co KY were Alford Cherry (pg 17), Allen Cherry (pg 31), George Cherry (pg 31), and Joseph Cherry (pg 31); these were children and grandchildren of Willis’ brother William B Cherry [C1a8i3]. (77,WD, JY,ILi,57z, 159zij)

Willis Cherry [C2d1e], probably a son of Benjamin Cherry III and an unknown mother, was born in the 1790s in Franklin Co GA. He lived in Madison Co IL in 1830. He had two boys in his home, both under age 5. Willis had no wife then; she had apparenty died in the late 1820s. His two sons were born 1826-1830. (W,78j)

Willis Cherry [C1a5b1b1c], son of Henry Cherry Jr of Beaufort Co NC, was born in 1804 in Beaufort Co NC. He married Emelia L Perry about 1835. She was born 19 December 1818 in Beaufort Co, daughter of William C Perry and Nancy L Walker. He was living in Washington Twp in Beaufort Co in 1840 and 1850; in 1860 he was at Tranters Creek. Their children, other than Julia, were shown in 1850 at Tranters Creek without parents; this is obviously a census taker's mistake. In 1860 the whole family was listed together at Tranters Creek. Emily and Willis died after 1880 in Beaufort Co. They had thirteen children, all born in Beaufort Co- 1. Julia Cherry, b 1836 2. Oliver H Cherry, b 1840 3. Marcella Cherry, b 1842 4.

Willis W Cherry [C1a8p], son of Lemuel Cherry and Gatsey Ann Llewellyn, was born about 1748 in Beaufort Co NC. He was under age when his father died in 1754, and was bound to William Willis before January 1765; William Willis was one of the executors of his father's will. By the summer of 1774 Willis Cherry owned land in Duplin Co, next to the 200 acres Thomas Bennett was granted on 22 July 1774 from the Crown. This land was on the north side of Goshen Swamp, and between Dry Pond Branch & White Oak Branch. Other neighbors at the time were John Oates, James Smith, and Joseph Wade. Willis was in the Revolutionary War on the NC Continental Line in Wilmington District (Duplin Co area), and was granted 228 acres on Barton's Creek; this land was assigned (probably sold) to James Hicks on 12 December 1801 (warrant #3386, per thigpen). If so, the transfer was done by his heirs after Willis died in Duplin Co in September or October 1801. Willis was also in the NC Militia in Wilmington District. There are three warrant numbers associated with his service: #3356, #3675, and #3799. Willis witnessed two marriages in Duplin Co about 1780: the Sarah Bizzell - James Hurst marriage on 8 November 1779 and the James Bizzell - Mary Bowden marriage on 9 January 1781. This shows the close ties between Willis and the Bizzell families (Willis' son Lemuel married Sarah Bizzell). In the 1784 state census of Duplin Co, Willis was the third from the last listed in the district of Captain Bowden's Company. In his home were one male over age 21 and under age 60 (Willis), two boys under the age of 21 (Lemuel & William), four females (his wife and three daughters), and one slave. Also in the same county in 1784 were other names with ties to the Cherry families in the counties to the northeast around Martin and Edgecombe Counties: Thigpen, Ward, Harrell, Grimes, Williams, Gray, Outlaw, to name a few. In 1790 Willis' was the only Cherry family in the county (he was in the Wilmington Dis- trict); in his home there were himself, three males under age 16 (born between1776 and 1790), and four females (Mary, the eldest daughter, married in 1788 and left her parents' home, and two more daughters were born to Willis and his wife since 1784). There were four slaves. In 1800 Willis was not found, but his wife Sarah ____ was; Willis was still alive, but since Sarah was the head of the household in the census, Willis must have been feeble, and perhaps bedridden. In her household in 1800 were two girls under age 10 (Nancy & Polly), two girls (Sarah & Rebecca) & one boy (George) age 10 to 15, two boys age 16 to 25 (William & Lemuel), Sarah, age 26 to 44, and seven slaves. The 1810 census shows Sarah living about midway between Lemuel and William, her two eldest sons (now married); she had one boy in her home, age 16 to 25 (George), one girl age 10 to 15 (Patience, Nancy now was probably married), herself age 45 or older, and six slaves. Sarah was also found in Duplin Co in 1820, living alone, age over 45. She was born between 1756 and 1765, according to the 1800 and 1810 census records, so was probably not the mother of Willis' eldest daughter. Duplin Co court records from April 1785 and July 1785 reveal that Willis Cherry was the overseer in charge of clearing the main channel of Goshen Swamp in District 14 during the dry season. The swamp was the waterway by which barges and flat-bottom boats carried supplies into and out of the northwest corner of the county. District 14 was approximately four miles southeast of the present-day town of Calypso, and four miles northwest of 900 And NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA

Beaufancus. The hands working under Willis in clearing the waterway were James Bizzell, William Stone, Arthur Bizzell, Hardy Bizzell and his negro, Thomas Bennett, William Bennett, Samuel Bennett, "& all others belonging to their families. " Willis left a will dated 12 October 1800 in Duplin Co, and he died in September or October the following year. His will named "beloved wife Sarah Cherry" (she received "one negro wench by the name of Juda" and a negro named Tess, plus household furniture and one-third of the plantation where Willis lived), his six daughters Mary Bennett, Elizabeth Millard, Rebecca Cherry, Nancy Cherry, Sally Cherry, Polly Cherry, and sons George Cherry, Lemuel Cherry, and son William Cherry (William received the plantation Willis bought from John Bradley on the north side of Pond Branch). Near the end of the will he named another daughter Patience Cherry, but also said he only had six daughters, and re- named them. Polly's position from the first list of daughters was replaced with Patience in the second listing. The two youngest sons, in addition to land, each received "one horse creater." Son George was under age 21 when the will was written. Witnesses were Hardy Bizzell, William Cherry, and Rebecca Cherry. Executors were Hardy Bizzell, and Willis' eldest son Lemuel; Lemuel was often called "Lamb" in the will. Willis could not sign his name, so made his "O" instead (he also made an "O" when he witnessed the two Bizzell marriages of about 1780). His nine children, all named in the will, were- 1. Mary Cherry, b abt 1768 2. Elizabeth Cherry, b abt 1775 3. William Cherry, b 1776-1780 4. Lemuel Cherry, b 1779 5. Rebecca Cherry, b 1784 6. Sarah Cherry, b abt 1785 7. George Cherry, b 1785-1790 8. Nancy Cherry, b 1790 9. Patience Polly Cherry, b 1795-1800 (68,99, 108,WD,5p,35maehijnypz)

Col. Willis W Cherry [unknown], married in Lawrenceburg TN to Miss Frances Weir, according to the 6 September 1828 National Banner and Nashville Whig newspapers. (72,80)

Wilson Cherry [C1a7d4e], son of Lemuel Cherry and Sarah McPherson, was born in 1797 in Edgecombe Co NC. He, with his brothers John and Cary, were in the Battle of New Orleans on 7 & 8 January 1815. They served in Captain Henry West's Company, 3rd Regi- ment, Tennessee Militia (Infantry). Wilson married Catherine Hodge and they lived in Jack- son Co TN in 1820 (census had his name as William in 1820), and was shown in Jackson Co in the 1830 census. Catherine was born in 1792 in NC, and apparently died before Wilson (but after 1850) because he also married Adaline ____ late in life. Adeline was born in 1843. The William Cherry living in Jackson Co in 1820 was born between 1795 and 1804. This was probably Wilson; brothers John and Cary lived in Jackson Co in 1820 also. The wife of the 1820 William in Franklin Co was born 1775-1794, which matches Catherine Hodge’s age. Their sons in 1820 were one boy age 10 to 15, and two were age under 10. Wilson died in 1862 in Jackson Co. Wilson and Adaline lived in Jackson Co in 1850 with four of their children. There were at least eight or ten; because Wilson’s wife was about 5 years older, two of the eldest sons in the 1820 census may not be Cherry sons, but could easily be sons from a prior marriage of Catherine. -
