        Daniel P Cherry [C1a9c1b3i], son of John W Cherry and Elizabeth Boyer, was born between 1836 and 1840 in Linn Co MO. He must have died in the 1840s since he was not living with his widowed mother in 1850, nor with any brothers. (90,54n)

        Darling Cherry [C1a9c1k], son of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Gainer, was born in 1787 in Martin Co NC. See John Darling Cherry .

On 10 October 1791 in Martin Co NC his father gave power of attorney to Jacob Cherry of SC to pay all just debts against the estate of David Cherry, and to collect all debts due him. David had no spouse or children because his father was described in the Martin Co court proceedings as “father and next heir to David Cherry.” This power of attorney was proven in Kershaw Co SC. (DK)

        David Cherry [C1a9c1p], son of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Gainer, was born in 1793 in Martin Co NC. He probably moved to Hardin Co TN in the late 1810s or early 1820s since he had land surveyed there. In 1830 and 1840 he was listed on the federal census in Hardin Co.

        David Cherry, was born 23 July 1798 in NC. He married Nancy ____ in TN on 2 November 1816. They apparently lived in TN for a while since his children were born there, then moved on the Winston Co MS after 1840. (Winston Co is in the center of the state, and is south of the western end of TN.) Nancy was born 19 February 1800 in NC. The only David Cherry in TN in 1840 was in Hardin Co; Benjamin F Cherry lived nearby. There was a David Cherry in Hardin Co in 1830, but he was born in the 1780s, and there was no young man age 32 in his home. Nancy died in Winston Co on 21 April 1869. David died on 5 February 1872 in Winston Co; both he and Nancy were buried there. They had at least six children-*

        David Cherry [C1a9i11], son of Solomon Cherry and Clara Council of Edgecombe Co NC, was born after his father's 29 October 1808 will was written, or in 1809, in Bertie Co. David inherited three Negroes from his father's will. David's 29 January 1833 will (Book F, page 71), proven in May, named his wife “Sary” who received the whole estate, and named nephew James Barrow, son of John Barrow (husband of David Cherry's sister Tabitha Cherry ), who received $400. No children were indicated. David married Sally Taylor on 3 November 1829 in Edgecombe Co. In 1830 David and Sarah lived next door to his sister Sarah Cherry and her husband Edward Cobb in Bertie Co. David's wife was a few years younger than he; she was born between 1811 and 1815. She later married George W Tyson of Pitt Co by 1 March 1837 (deed book 21, page 576). (77, 82,83,95,WD,5jp)

David married Maggie _____, who was from TN. Amanda had apparently married a Mr Spence (brother of J S Spence?) before her marriage to Henry C Cherry. She had two sons from her first marriage: Henry Spence, born in TN in 1847, and William Spence, born in TN in 1851. (125,77)

        David T Cherry [C1a6e4h11], son of William Clark Cherry and Elizabeth P Thompson, was born in May 1856 in Maury Co TN. He was a house painter in Columbia in 1880, and a mover in 1900. On 10 May 1883 David married Nannie Ida P Walker in Maury Co. She was born in April 1858. David died in 1923 and is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Columbia. He and Nannie had four children-

        Dawson Cherry [C1a6b2c7], son of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Mayo, was born about 1800 in Martin Co NC. He married Nisey Edmondson in Edgecombe Co on 26 February 1829; bond was provided by Eli Howell. In 1830 they were living in Martin Co next door to Lewis K Cherry and had two young boys in his home: one was under age 5, and a second child was between the ages of 5 and 9. The oldest boy was not likely their son, and since Dawson had no younger brother of that age, the elder boy may have been a young relative of Nisey. In 1840 Nisey was still in Martin Co, but without a husband. Dawson appears to have died in the 1830s after 1836. Nisey lived in Martin Co for the rest of her life; in 1860 she was in district 9 (Hamleton), and probably died in the 1860s. She had three children after 1830-

a.     boy Cherry, born in 1830, was not in his mother's home in 1850.

b.     Howell Cherry, b 1831

c.     Patsy Cherry, b 1836

He died on 23 February 1924 in Trigg Co. In 1850 Elizabeth was found living in Trigg Co with the Greg W McKinney (age 34) family, next door to Elvin McKinney (age 57) and his wife Elizabeth (age 56). It would appear that Elizabeth Shelton was actually Elizabeth McKinney, previously married a Mr Shelton, then married Reed Cherry. They had three children-*

        Doctron Cherry [C1a3f9h], son of Thomas Cherry and Rachel Outlaw, was born in 1808 in Bertie Co NC. He was named in his father's will, and was no doubt named for his father's first wife. Doctron was living in Bertie Co in 1840 as the head of his own home, with his widowed mother. He married his cousin Sarah Ann Outlaw in Bertie Co on 12 May 1849; his brother Aaron Cherry provided the bond. Sally was born in NC in 1828. By the summer of 1850 they had no children. Doctron probably died in Bertie Co between 1858 and 1860; Sally Ann was the head of her own household in Bertie Co, with four young children, in 1860. (See Theophilus Cherry, Doctron's brother, who married Keddy Elizabeth Outlaw.) Doctron had four children, all born in Bertie Co-*

        Edmund Cherry [C1a6e6c], son of Abner Cherry, was probably born in the late 1790s in Martin Co NC. He was not living there in 1830 or in 1840. (121,1aep)

        Edward Cherry [C1b], son of immigrant John Cherry and Elizabeth Faithful, was born about 1643 in Norfolk Co VA. Nothing else is known of him. (69)

        Edward Augustus Cherry [C1a9k7h2], son of Marcus Cicero Stephen Cherry and Arcena Virginia Best, was born 12 June 1851 at Bethel, Pitt Co NC, lived some of his youth in Martin Co, then moved back to Pitt Co in the 1860s. He married Sallie Lucinda Mayo about 1880, and soon after their marriage they lived with his parents in Pitt Co. She was born 25 July 1855 in Edgecombe Co, daughter of Reuben Mayo and Lucinda Best, and was a sister of John Mayo who married Edward's sister Sallie Louisa Cherry .

        Effie Cherry [C1a7d4c2d1], daughter of Boyd Cherry and Crayton Short, was born 30 October 1886. (77)

        Eleazer Cherry [C1a7g], son of William Cherry and Elizabeth _____ of Norfolk Co VA, was born in 1715 in Norfolk Co. He was named in his father's November 1736 will, and was named in his father's household in the 10 June 1736 tithable list. Therefore Eleazer was at least age 16 in 1736. Eleazer was living in Pitt Co by 1762 since he was on early tax records. “Eleazer Cherry, cooper,” bought land in Pitt Co NC from William Speir on 24 July 1774 (book F, page 86), and on 21 April 1777 bought six acres from Hiliary Cason (book F, page 210) in Pitt Co for £7. Pitt Co tax records show Eleazer living there in 1762 and 1763. The 1785 census of Norfolk Co has no listing for Eleazer. He died in 1788, probably in Pitt Co. There is a Pitt Co deed record (book M, page 493) of Hillery Cason selling land next to James Barrow and Eleazer Cherry to James Langley on 10 November 1791. This does not necessarily mean that Eleazer was still living; it does indicate, though, that neighbors still commonly referred to Eleazer's property line as “Eleazer Cherry's line.” Eleazer was the father of two or three sons-

        Eli Cherry [C1a9c1e], son of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Gainer, was born about 1774 in Martin Co NC. He married Nancy Wheatley, daughter of Samuel Wheatley III and Isabel Crisp, in Martin Co about 1799. Since he was not shown as the head of his own household in 1800 in Martin Co, he and his family may have already moved to TN; he was living in Davidson Co in March 1817 because he was on jury duty then. He was also in the 1820 and 1830 census. Nancy was born in 1775 in Martin Co, and died between 1842 and 1850 in Davidson Co TN; Eli died in 1842 in Davidson Co. In the 1820 census there was no one of Nancy's age with Eli.

        There was a widow Nancy Cherry who died in Davidson Co of cholera in June 1849, age 66. Therefore she was born about 1783, too late to be Eli's wife unless the age given on the mortality schedule was wrong (it often was). Or perhaps the information that Nancy Wheatley's birth date was in 1775 was wrong. Eli and Nancy Wheatley had ten children-

Isabel Crisp, wife of Samuel Wheatley III, was named as a daughter of Francis Crisp and his last wife in Francis' undate Martin Co will (Book 1, page 107). Other wills of the same era were written in 1784. (59,69,77,91,122,BH, L,1e,16in,21kn)

        Eli Cherry [C1a9c1g1], son of Isham Cherry and Silva Harrell, was born 31 January 1800 in Martin Co NC. Eli moved to Hardin Co TN when he was a boy, and moved to Cherryville (now called Lowryville, in Hardin Co) in 1819. He married Cynthia Ward on 12 March 1820 in Hardin Co. She was born 9 July 1806 in SC, daughter of Swain Ward and Nancy Rawlings Clifton. (The 1880 Hardin Co census and the 1910 Parker Co TX census for son Henry says both parents were born in NC). Eli and Cynthia lived the remainder of their lives in Hardin Co where he was a wealthy man. He was on the Hardin Co list of jurors in July 1822, was an election judge in December 1834, a farmer in 1850, and a Hardin Co Justice in January 1867. Eli was a guardian of the minor heirs of his brother Noel Cherry, deceased, in 1846. On 29 November 1849 Eli sold for $1000 to Harrell L Cherry and Isham B Cherry (sons of Noel), all of Hardin Co, five tracts of land on the waters of Turkey Creek (Deed Book J, page 536). On 1 December 1851 Harrel sold to Isham all of his ½ interest in these five tracts for $500. Eli died on 11 July 1870 at Lowryville, and Cynthia on 31 January 1876 in Hardin Co. They had eleven children, all born in Hardin Co-

In Martin Co NC, Elizabeth Swain, widow, made her will on 5 May 1777, and mentioned a John Ward who had a son named Swain Ward. Swain was named as a son of William Ward in William's 20 February 1793 will. William Ward also named daughters Sarah Biggs, Hannah Biggs, and Milly Biggs. (51,52,77,91,MC,EP,9ijknqry)

His name in the family bible was given as “Eli Cherry Junior.” He lived in Lowryville, and was active in local politics. He married Viannah Kendall Shelby about 1860, and they lived with his parents just afterwards. She was born 3 December 1842, daughter of Levi Shelby and Margaret _____. Eli and Viannah lived in Lowryville in the 1880s, and were living in Hardin Co in 1900 where he was a farmer. Viannah died on 30 October 1902, and Eli died on 16 January 1924 at Lowryville. Both are buried together in the Cherry Chapel West Cemetery in Hardin Co. They had six children, all born in Hardin Co-

        Eli Cherry [C1a9c1n5], son of Lawrence Cherry and Fannie Grey Thigpen, was born in 1828 at Williamston, Martin Co NC. He married Mary Elizabeth Thigpen in Edgecombe Co on 27 November 1848; she was the widow of Allen Renn Dupree Jr. Mary, born 4 Aug 1828 in NC, was a daughter of Susan Patience Penelope Cherry and William Little Thigpen. Eli was a farmer. In 1850 Eli and his small family were living next door to his probable brother Grey Cherry in Martin Co. Eli left a will in Martin Co dated 3 October 1857, and died on 15 October 1859. William A Thigpen was the executor and the guardian for Eli's sons. In his will (book B2, page 465), Eli named his wife “Mary E Cherry,” and sons “Wm Samuel Cherry” and “Lawrence E Cherry” (both under 21). Eli was buried in Skewarkey Cemetery in Jamesville, NC. Mary continued to live in Williamston into the 1860s; she was financially well off. Eli and Mary had two children-

        Eliza A J Cherry [C1a7d4c1c], daughter of William Carroll Cherry and Mary Crawford, was born in 1845 in Jackson Co TN. She was not found in 1870 with her family, so may have married or died in the 1860s. (77,26nqr)

        Eliza E Cherry [C1a6e4e7], daughter of Jeremiah Cherry Jr and Rebecca Cooper, was born about 1833 in Columbia, TN. She married Samuel Patterson McGaw in Columbia on 10 October 1850. He was born in Maury Co 24 May 1825, son of Benjamin F McGaw and Jane Cochran (Jane was a daughter of Mrs Margaret Cochran who died by 12 July 1855). They lived in Columbia, and by 1860 had no children. Sam was for a while the circuit clerk. He died on 22 September 1864. (55,72,N,L,10nqm)

        Eliza O Cherry [C1a6e4h1], the eldest daughter of William Clark Cherry and Mary C Walker, was born in 1835, after June, in TN, probably at Columbia in Maury Co.

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1c], daughter of immigrant John Cherry and Elizabeth Faithful, was born about 1648 in Norfolk Co VA. She married Joseph Miller. Joseph left a will (book 5, page 207) which was dated 4 January 1689, and proved on 15 September 1693 in Norfolk Co. It was probated in December 1693.

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a8a], daughter of Samuel Maund Cherry and Frances Ballentine (per thigpen), was probably born in the late 1710s in Norfolk Co VA. (57,69)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a3d], daughter of John Cherry III and Sarah Spring, was born about 1711 in Norfolk Co VA. She received “Twenty Shillings” from her father's 1754 will. (69,57,WD,28p)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a9g], daughter of Lemuel Cherry and Gatsey Ann Llewellyn, was born about 1733 in Beaufort Co NC. She was apparently still single when her father's will was written in July 1754. She did marry Howell Hodges. (57,77,WD,4p)

She was named in her father's 1808 will as “Elizabeth Manning” and inherited 10 shillings. Elizabeth married John Manning by 29 October 1808. (57,77,WD,5p)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a7h4], daughter of Caleb Cherry, was born around the mid-18th Century in Norfolk Co VA. She had apparently not married by the time her father's will was written in 1788. (28ap)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a6b2d], daughter of Jonathan Cherry, bricklayer of Martin Co NC, was born in the 1760s-1780s range in Martin Co. (1pz)

        Mrs Elizabeth Cherry [unknown], was born around 1765 and was apparently widowed by 1810. She was living in Bertie Co in 1810 with a daughter, and grandchildren. She was the head of her home, and owned nineteen slaves. If the young man in her home was the owner, he would have been the head of the household. Therefore the young couple in Elizabeth's home was probably a daughter and son-in-law. Elizabeth's daughter was-*

1.     girl Cherry, b 1785-1794, had married in the early or mid-1800s to a man a few years older. He was born between 1766 and 1784. If they were a typical couple, the wife was two or three years younger than the husband, so her birth was likely about 1786 and his was about 1783. They had children by 1810-*

        a.   girl _____, b 1801-1810

        b.   boy _____, b 1801-1810

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a7f10], daughter of Solomon Cherry and Sarah Eley, was born 10 April 1776, probably in Bertie Co NC, and died on 31 October 1827. She married Captain Irving Jenkins on 24 December 1794. He was born 28 November 1775 at Hickory Chapel, Hertford Co NC, and died on 27 February 1827. His parents were John Jenkins and Mary Willoughby. Elizabeth had nine children. Six known children are-

a.     John Jenkins

        Elizabeth “Betsy” Cherry [C1a9p2], daughter of Willis W Cherry and Sarah _____ of Duplin Co NC, was born about 1775 in Duplin Co NC. She married Jesse Millard on 21 December 1795 in Duplin Co. Jesse was born by 1775 (early 1770s?). He was in Duplin Co in 1800 through 1820, and died in September or October 1822. Jesse left a will in Duplin Co dated 17 July 1822, which was probated in the following October. In the will he named his “beloved wife Betsey Millard” (received the land next to John Bennett), three sons, and four daughters; all daughters were named with Millard as a last name. Jesse signed his name on the will. Witnesses were Peter Wooten and John Bennett. In 1830 Elizabeth was still in Duplin Co, with four boys/young men in her home; she was not there in 1850. Since Jesse named only three boys in his will, and Kenan was already living on his own, the two youngest must have been grandsons, perhaps children of her son Charles. Her children were-

a.     Kenan Millard, b 1796-1798

b.     Charles Millard, b 1799

c.     Sarah Millard, b 1795-1800

d.     Caty Millard, b 1800

e.     Nancy Millard, b 1805-1810

f.     Mary Millard, b 1805-1810

g.     Isaac W Millard, b 1814 (68,L,35maehijp)

        Elizabeth “Betsey” Cherry [C1a9k6], daughter of Samuel M Cherry and Mary Moore, was born about 1778 in Pitt Co NC. She was named in her father's 13 May 1813 will as “daughter Elizabeth Taylor,” and was probably dead by then since her father's will gave to her heirs, and not to Elizabeth. She married John Taylor of Martin Co by 23 January 1808. John was a son of Richard Taylor and Nancy ____. Elizabeth may have died in AL. (57,83,77,WD)

        Elizabeth “Betsy” Cherry [C1a7f3b], daughter of William Cherry Sr and Susannah _____, was born about 1780 in Bertie Co NC. She married Richard Baker and lived in Bertie Co. According to the 1820 census, he was born before 1776, as was Betsy. If so, her parents must have been born a few years sooner than previously thought. Betsy and Richard had seven children by 1820-

1.     girl Baker, b 1795-1804

2.     girl Baker, b 1805-1810

3.     boy Baker, b 1805-1810

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a9f6], daughter of Charles Cherry and Winifred Mercer, was born between 1775 and 1784 in Beaufort Co NC. She probably was not married in 1805. (87,4ape)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a7f4a], daughter of Solomon Cherry Jr and Mary Eason, was born in about 1785 in Bertie Co NC. She married William Spivey before the summer of 1810, probably in 1808, since she was not a child in her parents' household then. William was born about 1782. Elizabeth was named as the eldest sister of all of Solomon's daughters by Ralph Outlaw in August 1830.

The second wife of Ralph Outlaw was Elizabeth's sister Celia Cherry . (77,79,105,121,6hi)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a9j10], daughter of Lemuel Cherry and Nancy Ann Moring, was born between 1795 and 1800 in Pitt Co NC. She married Stephen Ewell, probably after 1810. Elizabeth is assumed to be one of the five daughters living with her father in 1810. (57,7ae)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a7f3a6], daughter of Levi Cherry and Sarah _____, was born about 1787 in Edgecombe Co NC (she was age 75 in the 1860 Edgecombe Co census). Elizabeth married Jonas Gray Cobb, son of John Cobb and Winifred _____ (see the Relate Family page for more Cobb information). He was born in 1781. In 1810 they lived in Edgecombe Co and had four girls and a boy by then. In 1820 the young boy was not there, the three girls born in the 1800s were gone, and the oldest girl was missing; there were, though, four more young daughters born in the 1810 decade. In 1850, 3 year old granddaughter Mary Walston was living with Jonas and Elizabeth. She was still with her grandmother in 1860. In 1830 in Edgecombe Co the Jonas Cobb family had six children, and about twelve or thirteen children in all-*

1.     girl Cobb, b 1795-1800, married or died by 1820; because of the birth date of Elizabeth Cherry, this girl may be a young sister and not a daughter.

2.     boy Cobb, b 1800s, missing in the 1820 census, was back in 1830 age 20-29.

3.     girl Cobb, b 1800s, probably died in the 1810s.

4.     girl Cobb, b 1800s, probably died in the 1810s.

5.     girl Cobb, b 1800s, probably died in the 1810s.

6.     girl Cobb, b 1811-1815

8.     girl Cobb, b 1810s

9.     Eliza Cobb, b 1820 in Edgecombe Co NC, married Littleton Walston in Edgecombe Co on 17 June 1845. The bondsman was Josiah Walston. This was Littleton's third marriage. They were not together in 1850 (perhaps he died?) because Eliza and her daughter were living with her parents; Eliza was using the Cobb family name, but the daughter was not. Eliza and Littleton had a daughter-

        a.   Mary Walston, b 1847

Littleton first married Delpha Cherry in Edgecombe Co on 28 January 1841; bond was by John Walston. He married second to Zilpha Smith on 14 November 1843, with the same bondsman. There was a Littleton Walston living in Edgecombe Co in 1860, age 70. He appears to be a generation older than the husband of Eliza. In 1860 the elder Walston's wife was Polly, age 75, and Eliza's daughter Mary was not living with this elder Walston. Therefore, he may be Eliza's father-in-law, or uncle-in-law. The older Littleton Walston and his wife Polly were in Edgecombe Co in 1850 (he age 61, she age 65). One of the people in their 1850 household was Sally Cobb, age 15; Sally and the elder Walston couple were born in NC. (82,5jnq)

10.   girl Cobb, b 1821-1825

11.   Elizabeth Ann Cobb, b 1825

12.   Levi E Cobb, b 1829 (5jn)

13.   Jonas G Cobb, b 1834 in NC, married Elizabeth Owens on 8 May 1855; brother Levi E Cobb provided the bond. She was born in 1835, and was illiterate in the 1860 census. Jonas and his family were living next door to his mother in 1860 in Edgecombe Co, and was a farmer. His children, by 1860, were-*

        a.   Mary E Cobb, b 1856 in Edgecombe Co NC.

        b.   James E Cobb, b 1858 in Edgecombe Co NC.

Living with Jonas and Elizabeth in 1860 were Robert Owens, age 17, and Eliza Corbitt, age 9. There was an 18 December 1849 marriage between a Jonas G Cobb and Martha Ann Shelton; David M Cobb provided the marriage bond. In 1860 that Jonas, called Gray Cobb, and his wife Martha A, were living a few doors from the John Walston-Margaret Cherry family in Edgecombe Co. Gray was born in 1825 and Martha in 1834, both in NC. They had three children by then: William, born in 1850; Mary L, born in 1853; and Keturah, born in 1855. (L,5nq)

Eight doors away in 1850 was Sarah Cherry, age 32 and apparently a widow, and her 4 year old daughter Sally R Cherry. In 1860 three teens were living with Elizabeth: Mary Walston, age 18; Martha Edwards, age 18; and Frank Corbitt, age 17. Perhaps Martha and Frank were grandchildren. The children of John Cobb and Winifred were Amos W Cobb, Stephen Cobb, Louisa Cobb who married Ezekiel Crisp in 1835, Lydia Luella Cobb, Lucinda Cobb who married Levi Crisp in 1841, Fanny Eliza Cobb (married Archibald McMillan in 1834?), Epohraim Edward Cobb who married Emily Harrell in 1849, David Monroe Cobb, and Jonas Gray Cobb. (95,L,5phijnq)

        Elizabeth Cherry [unknown], married Jacob Robertson on 6 July 1805 in Sumner Co TN. Therefore she was probably born by 1790. (77)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a6e2i], daughter of Joshua Cherry and Martha R Keene, was born in 1797 in either Bertie Co NC or in Davidson Co TN. She married Elihu Willingham, probably in TN. (77,78,LJ)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a6e4f], daughter of Jeremiah Cherry and Mary Price, was born 15 December 1799 in Martin Co NC. She was only about nine years old when her parents moved to Columbia, TN, where she spent the rest of her life. Elizabeth married Pleasant Nelson, a businessman, on 21 September 1815. He was born 29 June 1792 in VA, son of John Nelson and Mary _____, and moved to Columbia about 1812. Upon the death of Elizabeth's father, her brothers and sisters inherited the tavern which her father had build in Columbia about 1811. Elizabeth and Pleasant bought out her brothers and sisters, and the tavern was then run for years by her and Pleasant. They eventually re-built the tavern into a large inn, which was still standing one block north of the town square in 1986.

        From the number of nephews who were named after Pleasant, he must have been well respected by the extended family. He was the city recorder in 1830-1831, and an alderman in 1831, 1833, and 1839. In 1860 he was the clerk of the circuit court. Pleasant died 27 July 1862 in Columbia and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery on the north edge of town. Elizabeth wrote a will on 28 November 1867, which was witnessed by N R Wilkes, Thomas M West, Mary B Cherry, and Nancy Keef. She died on Wednesday, 16 March 1870 and her will was proven on the 7th of April. She is also buried in Greenwood Cemetery. They had two children-

1.     Adeline A E Nelson, b 5 Jan 1818

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a7d4f], daughter of Lemuel Cherry and Sarah McPherson, was born in 1800 in Jackson Co TN. She married Hiram Denton, probably by 1820 since she was not a child in her parents' household in Jackson Co in 1820. (77,26i)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a9c1g4], daughter of Isham Cherry and Silva Harrell, was born 27 May 1806 in Martin Co NC. She spent most, if not all her life in Martin Co and died on 3 August 1819. (51,52)

b.     James Hinson, b 1852

c.     Martha Hinson, b 1856

d.     Rebecca Hinson, b Nov 1859

Robert Hinson had four children from a prior marriage: William Hinson, born 1839; Richard Hinson, born 1843; Clarissa Elizabeth Hinson, born 1845; and Sarah Hinson, born 1847. The only Hinson famliy in Stewart Co in 1840 was John Hinson, but he had no sons older than five years old in 1840. (HD,37kmnq)

        Elizabeth Cherry [C1a6e2h7], daughter of Jarrard William Cherry and Susan Jenkins, was probably born in the 1830s in Marengo Co AL. Orphan's Record (Book 29, page 122) of Sumter Co, on 8 August 1871 for the then-living heirs of Jarrard W Cherry named Elizabeth Cherry who lived in Sumter Co at that time. (78,77,LJ,22np)

        Elizabeth E Cherry [C1a9k7b], daughter of Roderick Cherry and Jennette Cherry, was born about 1808 in Pitt Co NC. She married Thomas Howell on 3 February 1833 in Pitt Co. There are a few will records mentioning a Thomas Howell in Martin Co of the 1830s and 1840s. Perhaps this is Elizabeth's husband. On 22 June 1835 “Roderick Cherry of Pitt Co” deeded to “Thomas Howell, who intermarried with my daughter Betsy E four Negroes;” this was recorded in Martin Co (Book P, page 315). Betsy was buried in Martin Co. (57,77,1p)

d.     Albert Turner (69,77,L)

        Elizabeth L Cherry [C1a9c1g1b], daughter of Eli Cherry and Cynthia Ward, was born 30 June 1824 in Hardin Co TN. She grew up in Hardin Co and married Elijah Harbour on 12 February 1839. He was born in TN in 1814. In the 1850 census Elizabeth gave her age as 24, and was age 35 in 1860. They moved to Titus Co TX after the summer of 1860. Since their son Isham was buried in Hardin Co in 1873, they may have gone to TX after then. Elijah died by 20 October 1892, but Elizabeth was still living then. She had eight known children-*

1.     William L Harbour, b 24 May 1840, md Cynthia _____ about 1860. In 1860 they were newly married, living near his parents in Hardin Co. Cynthia was born about 1840. (9nq)

2.     Samuel Eli Cherry Harbour, b 23 Feb 1843. In 1870 in Titus Co TX, two doors from Samuel's parents' home, was a (William?) Lewis Harbour, age 27, and his wife Cyntha _____. Lewis was born in TN in 1843, so fit the age of Samuel. Cyntha was born in AL in 1843. Samuel's brother James H Harbour was living with Lewis and Cyntha in 1870. Lewis was probably Samuel; in 1850 “Samuel L” Harbour was the 7 year old son of Elijah and Elizabeth. Samuel and Cyntha had four children by 1870, but in 1880 in Tiutus Co Samuel had a different wife: Nance E _____, born in TN in 1846. If Samuel and Lewis were the same, then Samuel married Nancy about 1870 and had two more children by 1880-*

He was born 20 December 1826 in Monroe Co, son of James Lyon and Rachel Harrell, and died on 11 November 1892 in Upson Co. Elizabeth died on 11 February 1898 at Yatesville in Upson Co.

        Elizabeth West Cherry [unknown], b 8 August 1823 in NC, married Calvin Austin Hall in Benton Co TN. He was born 19 March 1818 in KY (1850 census; Source DS says SC). In 1850 they lived in Benton Co, but moved to Burnet Co TX in the Fall of 1860. Where they lived in the summer of 1860 is not known; perhaps they were en route to Burnet Co then. They had nine children-*

1.     Mary Elizabeth Hall, b 1841

2.     Henry William Hall, b 1843, md Margaret J Evans. They had at least one child-*

        a.   Sarah Agnes Hall, b 6 May 1874. (124,JC,DS)

3.     Benjamin Franklin Hall, b 1846

A Mr Calvin Hall, born 20 September 1883 died in TX in June 1963 (who was he?). And another Calvin Hall, born 10 October 1924, died in June 1979 in TX. (Z). A William Alexander Hall, son of T P Hall & Zilphe _____, was born 15 December 1873 in Burnet Co TX. (124) (DS) In Benton Co TN in 1850 were John S Cherry, born in NC in 1817, and a Mrs Catherine Cherry, born in VA in 1752. Mrs Cherry was living with the Henry Clay family; Henry's wife Nancy was born in MC in 1795. She was probably Nancy Cherry, or a Mrs Nancy Cherry from a prior marriage. Henry Clay and his wife Nancy were next door to Calvin and Elizabeth. There was a third Cherry family in Benton Co in 1850: widow Minerva (Brewer) Cherry, born in TN in 1819, so her late husband would have been of the same generation as John S and Elizabeth W Cherry. John S Cherry and his family were still there in 1860; the youngest child then was Benjamin Cherry. A first speculation would place Henry Clay's wife Nancy as a former Mrs Cherry, mother of John S Cherry, Mrs Elizabeth Cherry Hall, and Mrs Minerva Cherry's late husband. (58nq)

        Ellah Amanda Cherry [C1a9e9b3], daughter of Henry Ormond Cherry and Clementine Edwards, was born in 1822 in Pitt Co NC. Since there was no daughter aged 15 to 19 in her parent's household in 1840, she must have married by then (or had died?). Her older sister Sarah Ann was listed as the daughter aged 20 to 29. (77,7k)

        2.   Frances Cherry (77,Z) (102,77,37nqs)

        Ephram Dwight Cherry [C1a7d4e5c6], son of William Jackson Cherry and Mary Lou Dalton, was born 12 July 1904 at Arcott, TN. He married Nellie Rhea Arms. (77)

        Erastus Cherry [C1a3f2], possibly a son of Aaron Cherry and Mary Pierce, probably lived in Bertie Co NC, as did most of his brothers. There were no records found of him as an adult in Norfolk Co VA, where he was probably born. When he was born is not known, but was likely in the 1740s, considering the known birth dates of his brothers. Where Erastus lived during his lifetime is not known; his brothers lived in Bertie Co. Erastus was not on the 1790 Federal census, nor was he in the 1787 state census or the county tax lists. He would have been an adult in 1787 when the state census of Bertie Co was taken, so perhaps he died soon before. Since there were tax rosters in Bertie Co in 1757, 1760, and in 1769, and Erastus was on none of them, he must have been under the age of 16 in 1760. If he was born in the 1740s after 1744, then he would have shown up in the 1769 roster. Therefore he must have either left the area, or died by 1769.

        Because the children of Erastus' father and brothers, other than brother George (if he had any children), are known, and because there was an Aaron Cherry born in Bertie Co in 1760 with an unknown father, and because Erastus' brother Robert Cherry had a son Theophilus who had a son named Erastus, it is here assumed with only circumstantial evidence that the Aaron born in the 1760s was a son of Erastus-

        Erastus Cherry [C1a3f6e6], son of Theophilus Cherry and Julia Grimes, was born 18 August 1833 in Edgecombe Co NC. He married Mary Della Savage on 22 February 1859 in Halifax Co.

Both are buried in the John Cherry family cemetery on New Beaver's Road with his parents, four miles from the town of Speed. In 1860 in their home in Edgecombe Co were his mother Julia, sister Caroline Catherine Cherry, and their baby boy. In 1870 they were living at Upper Coneto in Edgecombe Co.

        Ezekiel Cherry [unknown] was on the 1781 Bertie Co NC tax list. (6t)

        Ezekiel Cherry [C1a6e2e], son of Joshua Cherry and Martha R Keene, was born 6 September 1792, probably in Bertie Co NC. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, enlisting on 11 November 1812, and became a 2nd Lieutenant. Ezekiel married Jane Wilson in Sumner Co TN on 5 November 1812, just five days before he enlisted; bond was posted by Robert Collier. Ezekiel sold land in Marshall Co (three counties south of Sumner Co) to Joseph Brittain. Joseph left his will, dated 5 August 1823, in which he gave 218 acres known as the Scott Tract, to Joseph's daughter Sally, “land I bought of Ezekiel Cherry Esq.” Since Joseph Brittain had adult children when his will was written (it was probated in Bedford Co on 15 February 1832), he must have been over age 40. Hence he could have bought the land from Ezekiel by 1823. Therefore Ezekiel must have been an adult by 1823 also. In 1820 Ezekiel and his wife were living in Bedford Co, the county just east of Marshall Co. She was born 24 August 1792. He died at Mansfield, LA on 5 December 1854 soon after moving from Sumter Co AL. Jane died in 1863. They had six children in their houshold in 1820, but the three eldest were too old to be sons. They had eleven children altogether-*

        Ezekiel K Cherry [C1a6e2h1], son of Jarrard William Cherry and Sally Holland, was born in 1817 (in KY, per 1850 census, or in AL, per 1860 census). He was living in LA in 1871. He married his first cousin Martha Keene Cherry about 1837. She was born 24 December 1816 in TN, daughter of Ezekiel Cherry and Jane Wilson. They lived in Sumter Co AL. There were six children with Martha before she died before the summer of 1860. Because of the ages of Ezekiel's children in 1860, it would appear that Martha died in or soon after 1851, and Ezekiel then married Martha's sister Mary Jane Cherry after 1851. She was born 5 October 1827 in TN. Ezekiel and Mary Jane sold her father's patented land to a Mr Patton in 1859 and they moved to Caddo Parish LA after the summer of 1860. There he later sold land to John Alexander Anderson of DeSoto Parish (Book T, page 41, Caddo Parish). They had two children. Ezekiel and Mary moved from DeSoto Parish to Kerens, TX after 1875 where he died on 7 April 1900, and Mary on 9 September 1900. They are both buried in Kerens. His eight children were-

a.     Jared W Cherry, b 1838

        Faith Cherry [C1a5g], daughter of Thomas Cherry and Sarah Willson, was born about 1725 in Norfolk Co VA and was baptized in Norfolk Co. She was named in her father's 17 April 1748 will as “daughter Faith Cherry” while her sisters were named with a married name. Therefore, Faith was not yet married by April 1748 (or had married a Mr Cherry?). She inherited the other half of the land on the north side of Deep Creek which her sister Martha did not receive, a Negro girl named Nan, and household items. (77,28p)

        Faithfull Cherry [C1a5], son of immigrant John Cherry and Rebecca Maund, was probably born about 1678 in Lower Norfolk Co VA. He married Patience _____ (Culpepper?). His will was written on 28 July 1727, and entered into probate in Norfolk Co on 16 February 1728; therefore Faithfull must have died between mid-January (the previous court session) and mid-February 1728. In 1722 Faithfull was a witness to a land sale concerning his brother Thomas Cherry (see below). He signed his name as above written with two letter l's, but in his will the name Faithfull was written with one letter l. Faithfull probably lived along the South Branch of Elizabeth River, and may have been a cooper since this profession was taken up by his son Faithful, and Faithfull Senior left his cooper tools to his son Luke. Faithfull was an overseer for Thomas Willoughby in 1710. The will of Faithfull Sr, witnessed by Thomas Culpepper in Lower Norfolk Co, stated that his wife was still living (but didn't name her), and named his son Luke (under age 21), daughter Ruth, son Faithfull Jr (under age 18), son Titus, daughter Patience, and son Job . Because he did not mention an approximate age for Job or Luke does not indicate that they were adults. Rather, they were young boys, and not nearly of an adult age. Faithful's six children were-

a.     Luke Cherry, b a1710

b.     Faithful Cherry Jr, b c1710

c.     Ruth Cherry, b c1713

d.     Patience Cherry, b c1715

e.     Job Cherry, b c1720

f.     Titus Cherry, b c1723 (69,90,WD,JY,28p)

        Faithful Cherry Jr [C1a6b], son of Faithfull Cherry and Patience _____ of Norfolk Co VA, was under age 18 in July 1727, thus placing his birth date after July 1709, and probably about 1710. From the date of his son Jesse's birth, Faithful must have been born about 1710, and in Norfolk Co. His father named Thomas Culpepper to help raise young Faithful. The boy inherited one heifer and two sheep “to be delivered to him when he becomes of age eighteen years.” When he moved to NC in unknown, but it wasn't until after he became an adult in Norfolk Co VA. By 5 November 1751 he was living in Tyrrell Co (in the part which is now Martin Co) NC as he was a juror in the coroner's inquest concerning the drowning of a Negro man in the Roanoke River. In 1755 he was listed on the Tyrrell Co tax list (as was younger brother Job Cherry and (son?) John Cherry). On 8 October 1774 Faithful Cherry sold 60 acres to “Benjamin Wheatley,” both of Martin Co, land next to “Cherry's line thence along Cherry's line to Thomas Wheatley's line the land whereon William Anderson lives.” Witnesses were Jesse Cooper and Benjamin Kennedy. Faith made his “C” mark. Also, Faith sold 100 acres in Martin Co NC on 27 August 1777 to Isaac Cherry; witnesses were Jonathan Cherry and Jesse Cherry. He signed his name “Faithful Cherry.” On 26 May 1778 “Faithful Cherry, a cooper of Martin Co NC,” sold to Jesse Cherry 100 acres “beginning at the head of branch that runs out of the wild cat swamp at the main road called the Wild Cat” and also bounded by Matthew Harrell's land; daughter Apsile Cherry witnessed with her “С” mark, and Joel Cherry witnessed. Faithful Cherry signed. On 15 September 1778 Faithful Cherry and “Susanah his wife” sold 47 acres to Jesse Collins, land “beginning at an ash on the run of Cherry's Branch” and bounded by Margaret Collin's line and Yarrell's line. Faithful was on the county tax list in 1779. On 14 March 1782 Faithful Cherry bought 200 acres “beginning at the main road called the Wild Cat road” in Martin Co from Charles Whitley.

        Faithful married Susanah _____, possibly his second wife, by 1778, and was living in Williamston, Martin Co in 1787. He also left a 9 February 1787 will in Martin Co which was proven in December 1788; sons Jonathan and Joel were named to be the executors. Witnesses were Jesse Cherry and Miles Hatfield. Faith made his “С” mark as his signature. He named ten children in his will, but his son Isaac Cherry's 17 October 1788 Martin Co will (Book 1, page 151) named Jesse, Joel, and Jonathan as brothers. Jesse must have received his inheritance early, and therefore was not named in his father's will as an heir (but was named as a witness). Or possibly Jesse was from a first wife of Faithful since Jesse's birth date was years before the third child's birth date; son Jonathan may have also been from a possible first wife of Faithful. Faithful's children were-

1.     Jesse Cherry, b 1731

2.     Jonathan Cherry, b 1734

3.     James Cherry, b 1740s

4.     Joel Cherry, b 1750s

5.     Apsile Cherry, b c1750s/1760s

6.     Isaac Cherry, b a1760

Jesse Collins, who bought Faithful's land in 1778, married Sarah Keen in Bertie Co on 18 May 1802; this marriage was witnessed by William Cherry of Bertie Co. Will had married Peggy Baker in Bertie Co in 1801. (28ap,1zpae,6m)

        Fannie Cherry [C1a9c1n8], daughter of Lawrence Cherry and Fannie Grey Thigpen, was born in 1832 at Williamston, Martin Co NC. She married John W Flood in 1854. (57,69,1ecj)

He married Mary Wood in the early 1840s, but they were not found in the Jackson Co censuses of 1850 & 1860. Mary was born in TN in 1826. In 1870 Mary and her four (or five?) children were living together in the Gainsboro area of Jackson Co, without Fines. He apparently died in the 1860s. The fifth and youngest child living with her was Beauregard Cherry, age 8, and born in TN. Perhaps he was their last child. They had four or five children, all born in Jackson Co-

He was born 22 February 1872, son of C H Gillock Sr. Charles and Flora lived in Nashville for a time after their marriage, but moved to Savannah in October 1892, where they remained for many years. Charles bought Flora's father's grocery business in October 1892. Charles died at Louisville, KY from a self-inflicted gunshot on 27 June 1913. He was buried in Savannah City Cemetery.

        Henrietta Cherry [unknown], of Edgecombe Co NC, married Henry Cutchen in Edgecombe Co on 21 October 1866. (L)

        Henry Cherry [C1a6c1b], son of Jesse Cherry and Mary Riddick, was born in the 1750s in Tyrrell Co NC. He married Sarah Griffin and had children. They moved to Beaufort Co, the county to the south of Martin Co, by 1800 since the only Henry Cherry on the 1800 NC Federal census was in Beaufort Co. In 1802 in Martin Co, Henry was one of eight owners of 125 acres which was sold to Joshua Griffin of Martin Co for £25 to each grantor. Of all eight sellers, Henry was the only male who could not sign his name, but made an “Χ” instead. The sellers were “James Griffin, Daniel Robeson & Elizabeth Robeson his wife, William Perry & Marthy Perry his wife, Henry Griffin, Jacob Perry & Cloe Perry his wife, Jesse Robason and Nancy Robason his wife, Noah Perry & Milly Perry his wife, Henry Cherry & Salley Cherry his wife of NC in the Co of Martin.” Since Henry was “of the Co of Martin” in 1802, and in Beaufort Co in 1800. he must have lived just south of the county line, close to Martin Co. He was not the head of his own home in 1810 or in 1820, but his son Henry Jr was, living next door to a Samuel Cherry of about the same age. In Henry Jr's home in 1810 there was an older man, who could have been Henry Sr. In 1820 there was a Henry Cherry living in Beaufort Co, age over 45; he had a large family, some who could have been grandchildren. This Henry was likely Henry Jr. Henry Sr served in the Revolutionary War and received bounty grants in TN of 228 acres (grant #3386), in Wilson Co. In a Beaufort Co deed of 3 October 1840 (book 20, page 443), Henry Cherry Sr passed title to 150 acres to Henry Cherry Jr, 150 acres to Joshua Cherry, and 70 acres to Willis Cherry (see Wiley Cherry, son of Jesse Cherry of Martin Co). Henry sold his property and moved from Beaufort Co or died. Since Henry left no reecords naming all his children, we have to speculate with little evidence. From this land deed, and because of who son Henry Jr was living next door to in 1810, some of the children of Henry were probably-

1.     Henry Cherry Jr, b 1778

2.     Joshua Cherry

3.     Willis Cherry, b 1804

In the 1802 land sale of 125 acres, buyer Joshua Griffin was the brother of the Griffin sellers, including Henry Cherry's wife Sally. (57,L,1z,4en)

        Henry Cherry Jr [C1a6c1b1], son of Henry Cherry and Sarah Griffin, was born in 1778 in Tyrrell Co or Beaufort Co NC; the 1820 census puts his birth date a few years older, perhaps at 1775. He was living in Beaufort Co in 1810 through 1850; in 1850 he lived with his apparent son-in-law Daniel W Reddick and Daniel's six children, if these six children were Henry's grandchildren. Henry's wife in 1820 was born between 1776 and 1794, and in 1810 she was born 1765 and 1784. Therefore her birth was probably between 1776 and 1784. She was not living in Henry's home in Beaufort Co in 1840, so had probably died between 1820 and 1840. In 1810 Henry's father was not found in Beaufort Co or the surrounding counties, so was likely living with a child. Henry Jr's household in 1810 had an older man in the house; perhaps Henry Sr. Henry was living next to Willis Cherry in Beaufort Co in 1840. Henry Jr's children (the youngest could be grandchildren) were-*

Henry married Jane Jones, daughter of Humphrey Jones of Martin Co NC, about 1837. She was born in NC in 1817, and died between 1850 and 1858. Henry married Mrs Amanda M F Spence about 1858, probably in Dyer Co. Mandy was born in VA about 1816. She was the head of her household in Dyer Co in 1870, so Henry had apparently died in the 1860s. Upon his death, son David's guardianship was taken over by J S Spence in Dyer Co, and on 4 January 1872 Spence made a settlement as guardian. Henry and his two wives had five children-

1.     Robert Arnold Cherry, b 1838

He was living in Stewart Co in 1840 next door to John Stancil (husband of Lydia Cherry ), and appeared to be married; he was not found in 1850.

        Hillary Cherry [C1a10b], probably a son of Solomon Cherry of Norfolk Co VA, was born about 1724 in Norfolk Co. He left a will there dated 29 March 1761 (Book 1, page 68) in which he named his wife Susannah as executor, and named his brother John Cherry (received Hillary's 92 acre plantation next to John Richardson's property, plus cooper tools), and named two daughters who received the plantation where Hillary was then living. Witnesses to the will were Joseph Cherry, Paul Cherry, and John Richardson. Hillary signed his will with a “+” but both Cherry witnesses signed their names; John Richardson made his “Χ.” The will was proven in the September 1761 court. Hillary's known children were-*

1.     Elizabeth Cherry, b 1740s?

2.     Lydia Cherry, b 1740s?

There is a Norfolk Co marriage record of a Hillary Cherry who married Anna Brown on 22 May 1787. The surety was Abel Brown. A Hillary Cherry appears in the 1810 Federal census of Norfolk Co. (WD,28pmh)

        Hillary Cherry [C1a9e9], son of William Cherry, was born about 1770 in Pitt Co NC. He was probably named for Hillary Carson, a neighbor, and possibly a relative. Hillary Cherry was probably born about 1770 since he witnessed a land sale on 19 January 1789 from John Cason to James Albritton (Book M, page 114). Witnesses, although often not adults, were usually at least age 18 or 19. Hillary married in the late 1790s and settled near Nathan Cherry. He later witnessed a bill of sale from William Cason to Nathan Cherry on 24 October 1796 (Book N, page 429). And on 28 June 1797 John Cherry (the politician?) sold 100 acres to Hillary Cherry for £75; witnesses were William Cherry and John Whitehead (deed book O, page 247). Hillary purchased his first land on 28 June 1797 when John ("Χ") Cherry sold 100 acres on the south side of Briery Branch (Book O, page 247) for £75 to Hillary Cherry; this was witnessed by John Whitehead & William Cherry. And on 14 January 1799 Hillary bought a negro from Joseph Moore and Joseph's wife Clotilla for £60. This was witnessed by Josiah Cherry and Nathan Cherry (deed book O, page 262). On 26 January 1799 Hillary Cherry and Rebekah Cherry were witnesses to a deed from John James to John Cherry (Book O, page 234). Hillary later sold this land to Charles Rollins on 12 Mar 1804 (Book T, page 95), witnessed by John Ward and William ("Χ") Ward. So in a few deed records we find five Cherry names, probably all close neighbors, and possibly all closely related: Hillary, John, Joshua, Nathan, and William Cherry.

        There was a male age 16 to 25 living with Hillary in 1800; the young male would have been too old to have been a son, so was likely Hillary's younger brother. Hillary married Alvana Ormond, probably about 1798. They were found in Pitt Co in 1810. In the 1820 Pitt Co census they were living between Nathan Cherry and Ormond Cherry. Hillary died before 29 May 1823 in Pitt Co. They had eight children-*

        Isaac Cherry [C1a6b6], son of Faithful Cherry and Susannah _____, was probably born in the 1750s. He was the last named child in his father's February 1787 Martin Co NC will. Isaac bought a tract of 100 acres in Martin Co from his father on 27 August 1777 for £50. This land sale was witnessed by Jonathan Cherry and Jesse Cherry; Faithful signed his name. Because of the land date, Isaac must have been at least 18 years old, hence he was likely born by 1759 in Tyrrell Co NC. He left a 17 October 1788 will in Martin Co (Book 1, page 151) which was proven in June 1789. In it he named brothers Joel, Jesse, and Jonathan, but no wife or children. (1zpae)

        Isham Cherry [C1a9c1g], son of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Gainer, was born in 1778 in Martin Co NC. He died in Hardin Co TN soon before 15 September 1834. (Hardin Co court minutes on 15 September 1834, executor Eli Cherry made a settlement; fifty acres belonging to the estate of Isham Cherry was divided between Jesse Cherry, Eli Cherry, and the heirs of Noel Cherry, deceased.) In the Haywood Co TN will of Isham's brother Daniel, Daniel mentions “my brother Isham, now deceased, who was my business manager.” (Daniel died on 3 November 1843.) Isham was one of the early pioneer settlers of Hardin Co (as were his sisters Talitha and Lovey, and their husbands), having settled in Hardin Co in the second half of the 1810 decade. He settled in Wilson Co TN after 1811, and later Isham and some of his brothers moved into West TN, and to the part which became Hardin Co. In 1820, Isham and his son Eli were the only Cherry families in early Hardin Co.

        Isham was active in early Hardin Co politics for four years, but apparently dropped out of holding public office in 1824 because he disagreed with the laxity with which the political rules were followed. He operated a ferry across the Tennessee River in 1824. Isham married Silva Harrell. She was born about 1780. He and Silva had five children-

1.     Eli Cherry, b 31 Jan 1800

2.     Noel Cherry, b 13 Mar 1802

3.     Jesse Cherry, b 27 Apr 1804

        Isham Barnett Cherry [C1a9c1g2e], son of Noel Cherry and Margaret Lilley, was born in 1830 in Hardin Co TN. He was a farmer in Hardin Co in 1850, and was single, living with his brother Harrell Cherry. Isham married Louisa Elizabeth Margaret Johnson about 1852 in Hardin Co. There was a bill of sale recorded in Hardin Co (Deed Book J, page 28), executed 14 October 1852 by Temple C Johnson of Hardin Co to “Luiza Elizabeth Cherry my daughter,” sold a Negro girl named Judy who was 14 years old, for $700. Louisa apparently never paid off this $700 note because in her father's 1871 will he indicated that the $700 was to be subtracted from her inheritance. Louisa was born in 1830 in Hardin Co, daughter of Temple C Johnson and Letitia Rayburn, and died before 1869 in Titus Co TX, probably in the Grey Rock area where they lived in 1860. They had moved to Grey Rock before their two eldest children were born, and had three children. Isham later married Josephine _____. She was born in 1847 in VA. On 23 September 1867 Isham bought 240 acres, called the Windsor Tract, on the west bank of the Tennessee River in Hardin Co for $1,500 from W B Windsor and his wife America J of Devalls Bluff in Prairie Co AR. On 22 & 23 October 1867 (Hardin Co deed book O, page 75 & 74) “Isham B Cherry of Hardin County” sold 31¼ & 33 1/3 acres of the Windsor Tract to J H Hawkins and W P Alexander, & W M Jones. But then on 25 November 1867 (Hardin Co deed book O, page 33) “Isham B Cherry of Titus County” TX gave title to the 240 acre Windsor Tract to John A Smith of Hardin Co. Isham “placed my three children under the care of said John A Smith” ... “to maintain & educate” them. On 17 September 1869 (Hardin Co deed book O, page 309) John A Smith sold to “Isham B Cherry of Titus County” TX 240 acres of the Windsor Tract “including and excluding land previously sold to J H Hawkins & Wm Jones.” Isham died in 1873 at Mt Pleasant, Titus Co; John A Smith was the administrator for his estate in Hardin Co. His four children were-

1.     Sarah M Louise Cherry, b Mar 1853

2.     Temple Johnson Cherry, b 28 May 1858

3.     Harrell Cherry, b 1860

4.     girl Cherry [I8427], born between 1870 and 1872 in Titus Co TX. (77) (77,EP)

Temple C Johnson was born in 1788 and died in 1873; his wife Letitia Rayburn was born in 1797 and died in 1863 (see Daniel Cherry of Haywood County TN.) They also had other children (from the1850 census & his 1871 will): son L D, Thomas J, William, Henry R, Sarah Jane (born about 1836, and married John A Smith and lived at Economy in Hardin Co), Matilda Tennessee, and Mary A Johnson. Temple sold two tracts of land totalling 177 acres to N F & W H Cherry for $150 on 8 October 1851 (Deed Book I, page 192). This land sale was witnessed by H L Cherry and Thomas J Johnson.

Court records then reported that a slave named Joseph belonging to David Cherry took a horse from David and rode off. The horse was injured, and it was found and returned to David at this time. These SC counties and districts are at the northern edge of the state, just below the NC border. (107,DK)

        James Cherry [C1h], son of immigrant John Cherry, was probably born in the 1650s or 1660s in Norfolk Co VA. Nothing else is known of him. (133)

        James Cherry [C1a7f5], son of Solomon Cherry and Sarah Eley, was born in 1758, probably in Bertie Co NC. He was on a Bertie Co tax list in 1774 (all males named are at least age 16); he was the only son of Solomon who was on that list. James married Elizabeth _____, and died in Bertie Co soon before February 1826, but was not in the 1800 Federal census (per First Census Of The United States). William Spivey, John Robbins, and William Hendrixon were the executors of James' 3 February 1825 will (Book F, page 92). His will said he had children, but did not name them. There was a James Cherry Jr in Bertie Co in 1790, plus a James Cherry. The James Jr was at least 18 years old in 1790, or born by 1772. This would place his birth date too soon to be a son of James (Sr), who was born in 1758. James (Sr) did have a daughter-

a.     Sarah Cherry, b 1780s? (57,77,NW,WD, 6tae)

There was an Elizabeth Cherry in the 1810 & 1820 Bertie Co census. Perhaps she was James' widow, and the 1825 will was for another James?

        James Cherry [unknown], of Bertie Co NC, was in the 1820 and 1830 census. He was born in the 1790s, and his wife was a few years younger. Because of the ages of the children in 1820 and 1830, it would appear that James and his wife took care of younger brothers and sisters. They lived close to Mrs Elizabeth Spivey and Mrs Elizabeth Cherry. James had four to six children-

1.     girl Cherry, b 1811-1820, may have been a younger sister who married in the 1820s. (6i)

2.     girl Cherry, b 1811-1820, was not in the 1830 census, so was a younger sister who married in the 1820s, or perhaps was an older child who died in the 1820s. (6ij)

3.     girl Cherry, b 1816-1820 (6ij)

4.     girl Cherry, b 1821-1825 (6j)

5.     boy Cherry, b 1826-1830 (6j)

6.     girl Cherry, b 1826-1830 (6j)

In the 1820 census in James' home were a boy born between 1802 and 1804; he was still there in 1830. Also in 1820 there was a girl born between 1805 and 1810, but was not there in 1830 (married?), and two boys born between 1811 and 1815 whre in James' home in 1820 and 1830. (6ij)

        James Cherry [C1a6b3], son of Faithful Cherry Jr and Susannah _____, was born prior to 1765 in Tyrrell Co NC, and likely by the late 1740s. He was not found in the 1785 state census of Martin Co, but his father's household had so many people in it that James, his wife, and two sons could easily have been four members in Faithful's home. James left a Martin Co will dated 24 May 1785 (Book 1, page 356) in which he named his wife Sarah, and gave his “two sons John Cherry & James Cherry” what their mother left after her death. Most wills in Martin Co of this period do not have the date in which the will was entered into court (i.e., the probate date), but they are recorded in roughly the sequential order in which they are presented to the courts. The prior will went to probate in September 1797, and the few wills before that one were written in 1797 and 1798. Therefore, James's will was written about a dozen years before he died. The will following James' will was written in March 1800, and a few wills after that one the probate date was in April 1801. James must have died sometime after September 1797 and by April 1801. Furthermore, since he was not in the 1800 census, he probably died between 1797 and the summer of 1800 when the census was taken. James was named in his father's 9 February 1787 will as if James was still alive.

        The only James Cherry households in these years were the James Cherry taxpayer in Hertford Co (just north of Bertie Co) in 1779 and in 1784, and the James Cherry taxpayer in Bertie Co in 1774 (son of Solomon Cherry .) There were two James Cherrys in Bertie Co in 1790, and one in Hertford Co. The Hertford Co James Cherry house had one adult male, one boy, and two females. In Edgecombe Co in 1790 the James Cherry with two boys and three females in his home was James, son of James . In Martin Co in 1790 the James Cherry (living near Jesse, Joel, Harrell, and Jonathan Cherry; i.e., in Williamston) had two adult males (James and one of his sons) and one female in his household. Because of the early census and tax records of the Williamston area in Martin Co, it appears that James's sons became adults in the late 1780s, and by 1790 one had married and settled in Bertie Co (James Jr), while the other was still living at home. James had two sons-

a.     James Cherry Jr, b c1768

b.     John Cherry, b c1772 (91,77,1ape,6at,46t)

        James Cherry Jr [C1a6c3a], son of James Cherry and Sarah of Martin Co NC, was born about 1768 in Martin Co. He lived in Bertie Co in 1790. He was not found in NC in 1800. There was a James Cherry “of Martin County” who sold a Negro to Richard Williams on 22 January 1808 (Book E, page 31). (5a,1pz)

        James Cherry Jr [unknown], of Bertie Co NC, was in the War of 1812 (in 1814), in the Detached Militia, 1st Regiment. James was also in the 1820 Bertie Co census, aged between 26 and 44. Therefore he was born between 1776 and 1794. In 1820 in his household there were no females, but there were two young men between the ages of 16 and 25. There was another James Cherry (without a “Sr” or “Jr” title) in Bertie Co in 1820. This other James was of the same age range, but was married with seven children. (105,6i)

        James Cherry [unknown], had moved to Hardin Co TN between 1815 and 1820. By October 1820 he was a large land owner in the county. In order to set up a new county capital, James sold 50 acres at Hardinsville to Hardin Co in 1822. He lived to a very advanced age. (51)

        James Cherry [C1a3f9e], son of Thomas Cherry and Rachel Outlaw, was born in 1798 in Bertie Co NC (1796 per 6kn), and was named in his father's will. James apparently died by February 1854 because David Outlaw was the executor of James' estate in Bertie Co then. James did not appear to be married in 1850, but had probably married years earlier. In 1840 he was living in Bertie Co without a wife, but apparently had a son-*

1.     boy Cherry, b 1821-1825 (57,L,6knm)

        James Cherry [C1a7f4e2], son of James Rufus Cherry and Esther Duers, was born in the 1810s in Bertie Co NC. (77)

        James Cherry [C1a9c1b3a], son of John W Cherry and Elizabeth Boyer, was born in 1820 in Howard Co MO. He married Frances J Hines on 16 February 1843 in Linn Co. She was born in MO in 1824. Frances probably died in the 1850s, because James' new wife in 1860 was Sarah Woods; they married in Linn Co on 21 April 1857. She was born in 1838 in MO. And in 1870 James was married again, this time to Mrs Isabella McCrary (nee Routen?) on 21 December 1865 in Linn Co. She was born in 1845 in IL. James' children were-*

1.     John A Cherry, b 1844 in Linn Co MO, married Sarah Shohonce on 8 September 1865 in Linn Co. She was born in 1844 in MO. They had three children by 1870-*

        James Cherry [C1a9c1k7c], son of Rufus King Cherry and Martha Wilson, was born in 1855. (77)

        James A Cherry [C1a6c1b1c13], son of Willis Cherry and Emily L Perry, was born about 1861 in Beaufort Co NC. (He was not in the 1860 census as a child, but his 3 month old sister Mary was. Therefore James must have been born after the summer of 1860.) (77,4q)

        James Abraham “Abe” Cherry [C1a9c1b2c1], son of Joel Lilley Cherry and Mary Ann Hines, was born 22 February 1842 in Linn Co MO. He married Elizabeth Priscilla Rose on 17 March 1861. She was born in AR in 1838, daughter of James Rose and Mary Cohea. Abe was wounded in the Battle of Prairie Grove on the Confederate side, only a few miles north of the family farms. He died in Little Rock on 5 April 1863, probably from infections from his wound. In 1870 in Washington Co AR Elizabeth was living with her parents-in-law. Abe and Elizabeth had a son-*

a.     Spencer C Cherry, b 1862 in AR, married Viola _____, and family tradition says he moved to CO. (90,101)
