        Kinchen Cherry [C1a7f3a5], son of Levi Cherry and Sarah _____, was born in 1783 in Edgecombe Co NC. He married Polly Holloman, daughter of Isham Holloman, after the summer of 1810 (they were not in the 1810 census), but before November 1811. Deed book 14, page 439, dated 13 January 1812, said that “Polly Cherry, wife of Kinchen Cherry,” was a daughter of Isham Holloman, deceased. Deed book 14, page 154 on 30 October 1811 names Polly's daughter as Celia Cherry. And Edgecombe Co estate records in November 1811 named Sarah as the widow of Isham Holloman, and heirs Polly Cherry, wife of Kinchen Cherry. Deed book 25, page 12, dated 9 August 1849 in Edgecombe Co says that Jesse B Cherry was a son of Kinchen Cherry and his wife Mary, both deceased. Kinchen was in the 1815 Edgecombe Co tax list, owning 430 & 30 acres, and three slaves. He apparently was a guardian for the orphaned children of his father-in-law since he also paid a tax for them in 1815.

        In 1820 Kinchen and Mary were in Edgecombe Co living six doors from Kinchen's brother Eason Cherry, and had four boys and one girl under age 10. There was a second young man, age 16 to 25, living with Kinchen in 1820 (a brother / brother-in-law?). Another neighbor, thirteen doors away (Eason Cherry was in between) was the Aaron Atkinson, family. He was the husband of Sally Cherry, Kinchen's sister. In 1830 Kinchen was still in Edgecombe Co, two doors from Sarah Cherry who had married Edward Cobb, and three doors from David Cherry, Sarah Cherry's youngest brother. Kinchen's four young boys from the 1820 census were not there in 1830. Polly was born in the 1780s. On 16 August 1845(?) the land of the late Mary Cherry was divided among her children and heirs: James Barrow and wife Celia, Sally Cherry, and Jesse B Cherry; Kinchen died on 15 November 1837 at the age of 54. He was called Captain Kinchen Cherry (was he in the War of 1812?). In 1840 Polly was living with some of their children in district 17 of Edgecombe Co. They apparently had at least seven children, three living when Kinchen's wife Polly died in 1845-*

        Lazarus Cherry [unknown], was born by 1715. He was on the Pitt Co NC tax list in 1763, and was on a coroner's inquest jury on 4 December 1774 in St Michael's Parish. In 1786 he was an old man, over the age of 60. In his household in the 1786 state census was a male between the ages of 16 and 60, and three females over the age of 60. Living nearby was Nathan Cherry, five doors away. Between Nathan and Lazarus was the Hillery Cason family. Lazarus did not appear in the 1790 Federal census, so had probably died. Lazarus also was not listed in the 1775 county tax list, but since he was on the state census in 1786, and was in Pitt Co in 1774 as a juror, he must have been over the age of 60 to be omitted from the 1775 tax list. Lazarus probably had two sons-

1.     Nathan Cherry, b c1748

        Lee Jabus Cherry [C1a9c1b2c5g], son of Isaac Sidwell Cherry and Margaret Ellen Almon, was born 5 May 1884 in Washington Co AR. He died on 26 July 1907 and was buried at Yeager, OK. (90,101)

        Lem Cherry [unknown], was a witness of the 4 January 1864 will of Patrick Roach will in Bibb Co GA (will book B, page 282). Lem was likely a son or grandson of Abner Cherry of Martin Co NC. (115,JY)

        Lemuel Cherry [C1a8], son of John Cherry Jr and Rebecca Maund, was born about 1685 in Lower Norfolk Co VA. He inherited 200 acres on the head of Indian Creek in Norfolk Co from his father in 1735. Lem was married first to Mary Courtney in VA. He was in the 30 June 1730 tithable listing of Norfolk Co (shown in some printed books as one of two “Samuel Cherry” men; the Samuel was probably Lemuel's brother), but after 1730 he is not found in Norfolk Co. He sold his land in VA and moved south to Beaufort Co NC, where he had a grant for 200 acres in 1733. Beaufort Co deed book 2, page 161, records a deed dated 12 March 1733 from George Moye of Beaufort Precinct to Lemuel Cherry “of said province” for £150 a certain plantation or tract of land containing 60 acres on Tranter's Creek (usually called the Herring Run) on the north side of the Pamlico River. Witnesses were James Campen and Roger Jones. Lemuel married second to Gatsey Ann Llewellyn about 1730, probably in NC; she was a daughter of Captain George Llewellyn. Lemuel Cherry was on the 1742 Beaufort Co tax roster. In NC patent book 5, Lemuel Cherry was granted 200 acres on 20 April 1745 in Beaufort Co on the north side of Briery Branch adjoining William Congleton and the branch. His 1745 patent was with Charles Cherry and William Cherry, probably his sons. This would place Charles' and William's birth dates by the late 1720s, or before. Part of this Pitt Co tract was later sold to Lemuel Cherry's neighbor Joseph Jolly Sr, who sold it to Isaac Knox in August 1763, and he sold it to John Griffin in March 1764. In March 1771 John Cherry sold some of this same tract to Joseph Holiday.

        Lem left a will in Beaufort Co dated 14 July 1754; it was not written by him, but was clearly signed by him as “Lem Cherry.” Witnesses were William Willis, Griffin Floyd, and Peter Floyd. Lem died by early September 1754 because his will was proven in the September court, and an inventory of his estate was made on 10 September 1754 and then presented to the court. The persons who made the inventory were John Cherry and William Willis (per WD), who were also the executors. His will left the biggest share of inheritance to the first five children and to the eldest two sons of the second marriage. Also, the youngest ten children received equal shares of two slaves. Lem named his married daughters with their marriage name; daughters not married were given the Cherry name. He had five children with Mary Courtney, and ten from his marriage with Gatsey. By January 1765 his young son Willis was still a minor, and was bound to William Willis. Lem's wife was not named in his will, but all fifteen children were. The order of birth of his ten youngest children was determined from his will which named “my 10 youngest children” in the order given; some of the birth years are estimates-

Lemuel Cherry is often incorrectly called Samuel Cherry because of the similarity between 18th Century handwritten letters S and L. His signature on his will and its following probate court records make it clear that the name should be Lemuel and not Samuel. Slaves named in Lemuel's estate inventory were James, Rachel, and Maryann. (77,57,86,89, 114,DK,WD,L,4pt, 7z,5p)

        Lemuel Cherry [C1a8j], son of Lemuel Cherry and Gatsey Ann Llewellyn, was born 20 October 1736 in Beaufort Co NC. Some sources place him as a twin of Samuel. Samuel cannot be the twin because Samuel's obituary in October 1815 says “Samuel Cherry of Edgecombe Co died in his seventy-sixth year on 2 October 1815” (born in 1739). If anyone was a twin to Lemuel, it must have been Solomon; Lemuel and Solomon were the only two Cherry families in Pitt Co in 1775. Lemuel married Nancy Ann Moring at Martinsborough (now Greenville; its name was changed to Greenville in 1786), Pitt Co in 1774. Lemuel was a private in the Newbern District Militia, and was on a Pitt Co safety committee on 17 July 1775. Lemuel and his family were living in Pitt Co in 1775 because they were found on a county tax list then in Captain William Burney's district. This was the area southwest of Martinsborough. Their household in 1775 showed one male over the age of 16, one female over the age of 16, and a girl. They had no slaves. Their close neighbors were Michael Moss, George Williams, John Stocks Senr, David Mills, and Frek Mills. In April 1778 Thomas English sold Lemuel 81 acres in Pitt Co for £40. Then in October 1782 Lemuel was granted two tracts of 100 acres each from NC (Book G, pages 104 & 105) (compensation for his service in the Militia?), and his brother Solomon, on the same date, was granted a 95 acre and a 100 acre tract (Book G, pages 180 & 181). Lemuel and Nancy were living in Pitt Co in 1790 with five sons and four daughters; they had two slaves. In 1800 they had two daughters aged 16 to 25, one son the same age, four sons age 10 to 15, and four girls and one boy under age 10; they had five slaves then. He and Nancy were not found in Pitt Co in 1810; he perhaps died by then. See the biography of his brother Samuel.

        Nancy was born about 1755, daughter of John Moring Sr and Sarah Harris, and died about 1831. In October 1801 in Pitt Co (book O page 532) John Moring (written “Mooring”) gave to his daughter Nancy Cherry and her husband Lemuel Cherry four Negroes “for love and affection.” Nancy and Lemuel had twelve children-

        Lemuel Cherry [unknown], of Halifax Co NC, witnessed the 8 October 1789 will of Richard Whitaker in Halifax Co. James Jones was the other witness. Since witnesses of wills were usually well established adults (witnesses of deed transactions were often as young as 19), this would place Lemuel's birth date somewhere around 1750. And the 29 June 1804 will of James Baker, proven in November 1810, named his wife Elizabeth, and children and some grandchildren. Not all children named were called “son” or “daughter,” but the relationship was usually clear. Two persons named were “Patsy Jones Baker” (a grand-daughter?) and “Frances Cherry.” All daughters were with married names. Because the two witnesses of the Whitaker will were Lemuel Cherry and James Jones, and because of the repeated Cherry-Jones connection in the James Baker will, perhaps Lemuel's wife was Frances Baker, daughter of James Baker. (123)

        Lemuel Cherry [C1a7d4], son of William Cherry and Elizabeth Manning, was born about 1750 in Norfolk Co VA. He married Sarah McPherson, daughter of Andrew McPherson, about 1777 in Norfolk Co. They were the only Cherry family living in Norfolk Co close to the McPherson families in 1785. Lemuel died in 1829, before 29 May, in Jackson Co TN where they were living in 1820. An indenture was made in the Chancery Court of Jackson Co on 29 May 1829, by Edwin Price, administrator of the estate of said Lemuel Cherry, made receipt of a “certain tract of land lying on the head waters of Trace Creek, it being a part of the land where Lemuel Cherry formerly lived.”

        Sarah was born about 1760 in Norfolk Co, and died before 1821 in Jackson Co. Lemuel had settled in Jackson Co about 1798 (since daughter Elizabeth was born in 1800 in TN, Lemuel must have moved to Jackson Co at the end of the 18th Century, in 1798 or 1799). He was on the county tax roster there in 1802 (the first Cherry name on any TN tax list). On the way to Jackson Co they spent a few years in Edgecombe Co NC where their children Sarah and Wilson were born. Lemuel and his family settled in Jackson Co on the headwaters of Trace Creek. Earlier, Lemuel had a “sugar camp” on Garrison's Fork (Browning Creek). Lemuel's wife Sarah died before 1821 in Jackson Co. He and Sarah had nine children-

        Lemuel Cherry [C1a9p4], son of Willis W Cherry and Sarah _____ of Duplin Co NC, was born in 1779 in Duplin Co (he was age 71 in the 1850 Duplin Co census). Lemuel was named in his father's will, and at times was called “Lamb.” Lemuel married Sarah Bizzell (per source 99), his neighbor, and daughter of William Bizzell and Hannah _____, about the end of the 1790s. She was born in 1771, and must have died within a year or two, because Lemuel married Rockselena Duncan in Duplin Co on 20 January 1801 (per mg records, Duplin Co). Bond was given by Hardy Bizzell, who was Lemuel's brother-in-law when he was still married to Sarah Bizzell, and the witness was William Dickson, the county clerk. Rockselena's father may have been Isaac Duncan who lived next door to Lemuel in 1790; there were also other Duncan families in the county at the time. Lemuel in 1810 and 1820 lived close to his brother William Cherry, of about the same age. Lemuel was an ensign in the 9th Company of Duplin Co and served in the War of 1812 (shown as “Samuel Cherry” in some printed books). His wife Rockselena was born in the early 1780s. He had five children by 1810 (all under age 10) and four slaves, seven children by 1820, and then ten by 1830. Rockselena died between 1830 and 1850, and in 1850 Lemuel was living with Elender Young, probably his sister's in-law. Nancy (Cherry) Young was living with Duncan Cherry, Lemuel's son, two doors from Lemuel. Lemuel died in early 1860. Mr A R Hicks, age 46, was the administrator for Lemuel's estate. Lemuel's children were- *

b.     boy Cherry, b 1802-1804 (35hi)

e.     Duncan Cherry, b 1807 in Duplin Co NC, married Ann I (or J) _____ about 1834. In 1830 Duncan was not living in his father's home. Ann was born in NC in 1816, and by 1850 they had seven children- *

        2.   Willis D Cherry, b 1837 in Duplin Co NC. He married Narcissa(?) _____ about 1856, and they lived a few doors from his brother George in 1860. Narcissa was born in NC in 1841. By 1860 they had two daughters- *

              a.   Leah June Cherry, b 1875 (78s)

              b.   Roxanna Cherry, b 1879. Her great grandmother was Rockselena Duncan, which might explain the rare name (for the 19th Century) of Roxanna. (78s)

        5.   William D Cherry, b 1844. He was perhaps the W A Cherry, born in NC in 1845, who was living in Wayne Co in 1880. W A was married to Emily _____, born in NC in 1842, and they had four children- *

William Dickson was the county clerk in 1779, 1784, 1786, 1801, and perhaps in other years. William Parker, age 17, was living with Lemuel and Elender in 1850. A R Hicks, the administrator of Lemuel's estate, was married to Athamesia _____. She was born in 1816, and by 1860 had nine children aged between 19 years and 10 months.

        In 1784 there were only two Bizzell families, and in the same district as Lemuel's father's home. They were: William Bizzell (next door to Willis) with two males under age 21 (or one male under 21, one between 21 and 60, and one -- William -- over age 60) and four females; and James Bizzel with a boy under age 21 and two females. William Bizzell and his wife Hannah (called “Hanner” in William's will) moved from VA to Edgecombe Co NC in 1763, and on to Duplin Co in 1772. They settled on the north side of Goshen Swamp, and the east side of White Oak Branch. They had the following children: son James, born 1760, died in 1822, married Mary Bowden; son Arthur, born 1762, died in 1822, married Elizabeth Ann Turner; daughter Nancy, born in 1764, never married, and died in 1830; daughter Patty was born in 1765, married _____ Worrell; son Hardy, born in 1769, died in 1848, and married Margaret Denmark; daughter Sarah, born in 1771, married Lemuel Cherry, probably at the end of the 1780s; son Isaac, born in 1773, died before 1850, and married Nancy Hooten & Zilpha Musgrave; daughter Elizabeth, born in 1775, married William Goodman; daughter Rachel, born in 1776, married James Woodward; daughter Mary, born in 1779, married _____ Worrell. Not all of William Bizzell's children were named in his will. Son James Bizzell, not named, was born in Nansemond Co VA in 1760 and married Mary Bowden on 9 January 1781 in Duplin Co; she was a daughter of Bryan Bowden of Duplin Co. James' children were: Elizabeth, born in 1785; Elijah, born in 1787; Catherine, born in 1788; Sarah, born in 1789; Nancy, born in 1790; James, born in 1791; Samuel, born in 1797; daughter Molesey, born in 1798; and Alesy, born in 1798 (probably a twin of Molesey).

        William Bizzell patented 90 acres in Duplin Co on 22 July 1774, land on the north side of Goshen Swamp and on the east side of White Oak branch near Nicholas Boden's plantation, and joining Blanchard's and Bizzell's land (Grant 8341, page 8). Therefore, William Bizzell was of an age to be the father of Lemuel Cherry's wife Sarah Bizzell, and lived close to Lemuel's father Willis W Cherry. William Bizzell's 6 August 1800 Duplin Co will named wife Hanner, some grandchildren, and sons and daughters. One named daughter was “Sarah Cherry.” We can be sure that this Sarah Cherry was Lemuel's wife because there were only two Bizzell families in Duplin Co in 1784: James Bizzell and William Bizzell, and James was a son of William; William lived next to Willis W Cherry; Willis provided the bond for the 1781 marriage between James Bizzell and Mary Bowden. William Bizzell's 6 August 1800 Duplin Co will named his wife Hannah, daughter Sarah Cherry, son Hardy Bizzell, and other children and grandchildren. Therefore, because William was a grandfather, and most of his children were married adults, he was of an age to be Lemuel's father-in-law. And Willis provided the bond for the marriage of Sarah Bizzell to James Hurst in Duplin Co on 8 November 1781. This could not be Lemuel's wife since Lemuel's wife was born in 1771; Sarah of the 1781 marriage must have been a widowed daughter-in-law of William Bizzell, and Willis Cherry provided the bond for his neighbor's widow. William's daughter, named in his 1800 will, was Sarah Cherry, not Sarah Hurst. (68,99, 105,1088,L,35maeijnq)

        Lemuel Cherry [C1a9f2f], son of John Cherry and Mary _____ of Beaufort Co NC, was named as executor of his father's 26 July 1836 will, so was born by 1815 (to be age 21). He was probably one of the two young men living with his father in 1820, thus placing his birth date between 1795 and 1804. The 1840 Beaufort Co census placed his birth date as in the 1800s, and he was at that time (as Lamb Cherry) living next door to his father, and three doors from J R Cherry. Lamb had married Irene Woolard, daughter of Martin Woolard, about 1830. Irene was born in the 1810s. She left a 2 March 1844 will in Beaufort Co in which she named five children, and no husband. Witnesses were J R Cherry (Lemuel's first cousin) and (Mrs) Temperence Brown. Executors were “friend” Elvin Woolard and Hardy Stalions.”

        Because the children and wives of the other Cherry men in Beaufort Co in 1840 are fairly well established, the only male who could be the husband of Irene was Lemuel. He was not found in Beaufort Co in 1850, and since he was not named in Irene's March 1844 will, Lemuel had probably died in the early 1840s. Irene died within a few days of her will. Lemuel and Irene's children named in her will were- *

1.     Catherine Elizabeth Cherry, b 1831 at Trantors Creek, Beaufort Co NC, was allowed to have enough money from her mother's 1844 will to complete twelve months of schooling. Elizabeth married Durham Perry about 1853 in Beaufort Co NC. Durham was born in NC in 1830. By 1860 they had two children- *

        a.   Narcissa Perry, b 1854 in Beaufort Co NC. (4q)

        b.   Melissa Perry, b 1858 in Beaufort Co NC. (4q)

There were three young adults living with Durham and Elizabeth in 1860: Elizabeth's sister Margaret, age 26; Harmon Cherry, age 20; and Asa F Peal, age 21. (87,4kq)

2.     Wiley Martin Cherry, b 1833 (born 1825 per 1870 census) at Trantors Creek, Beaufort Co NC. He married Margaret _____ about 1858. She was born in NC in 1840. They had a daughter by 1860, and nine children by 1880, all born in Beaufort Co- *

4.     Robert Churchel (Churchill?) Cherry, b 1836 at Trantors Creek, Beaufort Co NC, was single, and living with his brother Wiley in 1860. By 1880 he was married, and living in Beaufort Co close to his brother Wiley. Robert's wife was Harriet C _____. born about 1843 in NC. They had at least four children- *

        Lemuel Cherry [C1a9k5e], son of William Cherry and Laney _____(Smith?) of Pitt Co NC, was born in 1819 in Pitt Co. In 1850 he was a farmer in Greenville District, and had married Pheny Perlinah Smith about 1841. She was born 20 November 1822 in NC. Lemuel and his son William fought in the Civil War, which cost Lemuel his life. He was buried in Alexandria Cemetery. Pheny ("Pelina" in 1870) was the head of her household at Greenville in 1870. She died on 20 September 1885. By 1850 they had five children, and ten in all, born in Pitt Co-

        Lemuel Boyd Cherry [C1a7d4c3], son of Cary W Cherry and Isabelle McAdoo, was born in 1822 in Jackson Co TN. In 1850 he was single, living in Jackson Co. He died in Rock Island, IL after 1859. (125,77,26kn)

        Lemuel G Cherry [unknown], son of William Cherry [unknown] of Stewart Co TN and his wife Polly _____, was born in NC in 1805. His parents were first recorded in Stewart Co in 1814, so Lemuel must have been no older than 9 years old when his family left NC. His father's family was listed in the 1820 Stewart Co census; there was a teenage boy of Lemuel's age in the household. Lemuel was called to jury duty in Stewart Co in February 1830, and in the summer of 1830 in Stewart Co Lemuel was the head of his home (as Lamuel G Cherry, age 20-29), married to a woman of the same age as Lemuel, and with three children. In 1840 he was not in Stewart Co, but was found in Montgomery Co, the county to the east. His wife then was born between 1811 and 1820. This was Delilah, who was born in 1815 (per 1850 census). Therefore, Lemuel's first wife had died in the 1830s, perhaps in Stewart Co, and he had moved to Montgomery Co by 1840 to start a new live. In the 1836 Montgomery Co tax list “Lemuel G Cherry” was shown with 100 acres, no slaves, and he was the only taxable person (i.e., of age). He was also a Justice of the Peace in Montgomery Co in October 1845. Lemuel ran for the office of Representative of the Montgomery Co area to the State Capitol in 1849, but lost to G A Harrel; Lemuel received 46% of the vote. In 1850 he was shown on the Montgomery Co census with his wife Delilia Dodd. She was born in TN in 1815. They apparently had nine children, but since two much older children were living with Lemuel and Delia in 1850, too old to be her children, Delia was probably a second wife who married Lemuel about 1835. She died about 1851, and Lemuel married again, to Julia _____. She was born in 1816. Lemuel died before 1870.

        The following information on son Melville, who lived in Paducah Co KY, presents more light on this family:

        "Melville V Cherry is the fifth of a family of ten children, of Lemuel Cherry and Delilah Dodd. The family is of English origin and was first represented in the United States by two brothers, one of whom settled in Virginia and the other in North Carolina, in the colonial period. Lemuel Cherry was the son of the latter, was born in North Carolina and in childhood was brought by his parents to Steward County, Tenn. There he attained his manhood, removing thence to Montgomery County, Tenn., near Clarksville, where he married Delilah Dodd, and where Melville V. was born in 1845. In that county the mother died about 1851, the father surviving until 1869, when he too, died." The Kentucky biography goes on to give more details of son Melville.

        Lemuel had thirteen children, perhaps nine with Delilah, and those born after 1851 with Julia. All were born in TN (the last ten probably were born in Montgomery Co)- *

George, son of William Riggins and Methursia Chisenhall of NC, was born 13 May 1838 in Montgomery Co, where he grew up. After a few years of farming there, he sold his 300 acre farm and re-settled at the northwestern corner of Stewart Co at Bear Creek with Isabella in January 1885. Their farm and home at Bear Creek is now under water because of the TVA's Land Between The Lakes project. George and Isabella remained at Bear Creek for the remainder of their lives. He died on 25 July 1912 of heart failure, and Isabella died on 15 March 1923; they were buried on the Tharpe Cemetery behind their house, but years later re-interred at Hillcrest Cemetery at Dover before the formation of Land Between The Lakes in the 1960s. They had eight children, all born in Montgomery Co TN- *

Powell Riggins married Ruth Trice, daughter of Edward Trice and Tabitha Harrison, and lived in Orange Co NC.

She was born in Germany in 1845. Both were living in Paducah in the 1880s and had one child- *

11.   George B Cherry, b 1846 (HD,40nq)

13.   Charles Cherry, b 1850 or 1851 in Montgomery Co TN. (40q)

14.   Clarence Cherry, b 1857 in Montgomery Co TN. (40q)

There was a third marriage of a Cherry to one of the Riggins clan: a Mary Cherry married Charles Riggins in Montgomery Co TN on 13 January 1852; she was born in 1828, and he in 1824. By 1860 they had 4 children: Delilah, b 1854, William, b 1855, Frances Henrietta, b 1856, and Sally, b 1858. (80,110,HD,40n)

        Lemuel G Cherry [unknown], served in the Indian Wars from 1873 to 1876. He applied for a pension (#13801) on 12 August 1918 for his service, and died at Winston-Salem, NC on 17 December 1931. His widow was May P _____ applied for a widow's pension (#1709058) on 28 December 1931. (M)

        Lemuel Jackson Cherry [C1a7d4c9b], son of Cary Stewart Cherry and Marinda Hestand, was born 23 February 1864 in Jackson Co TN. He married Lucetta B McGaughan on 25 October 1887 in Clay Co and they lived at Whitleyville. Lem died on 29 October 1895. (77,103,L)

        Lemuel S Cherry [C1a7d4e2], son of Wilson Cherry and Catherine Hodge, was living in Jackson Co TN in 1860, but was not found in 1850. He was born in 1816. Lemuel had married Ruth _____ (Plumlee?) about 1848. She was born in 1829 in IL. In 1870 she was the head of her home, Lemuel apparently having died in the 1860s. In Ruth's home in 1870 were four children (Catherine was missing), a 3 year old boy named Newton Shay (Catherine's son?), and 20 year old Pleasant Cherry. Lemuel had five daughters, all born in Jackson Co-*

1.     July A Cherry, b 1849 (77,26r)

2.     Catherine Cherry, b 1851

3.     Jane Cherry, b 1854 (77,26r)

4.     Mary Cherry, b 1856 (77,26r)

5.     Sarah Cherry, b 1857 (77,26r)

Note that Lemuel named his daughter Catherine the same name as the wife of Wiley Cherry, and Wiley's daughter Ruth had the same name as Lemuel's wife. Wiley was a son of Lemuel Cherry, but this older Lemuel had no known children named Lemuel. Ruth, in 1870, was living close to widow Mrs Mary Cherry (age 44) and her five children, Cary N Condra (son of Sarah Theresa Cherry), Charlotte Cherry (age 54), and J B Cherry (son of William Carroll Cherry). These close neighbors were predominantly descendants of Cary W Cherry. But Cary W Cherry had a son named Lemuel Boyd Cherry who was six years younger than Ruth's husband and who was not married in 1850. Therefore, the elder Lemuel was likely a nephew of Cary W Cherry. Of Cary's brothers, the only ones old enough to have a son born in 1816 were John (born in 1785) and Wilson (born in 1797). A (Mrs?) Rutha Cherry was living with William Plumlee (age 58) and his wife Elizabeth Moss (age 56) in 1850 in Jackson Co, with her son Thomas J Cherry, age 4/12. This Rutha was a daughter of William and Elizabeth. (77,26knr) (JY, 26nqr)

        Lena Rivers Cherry [C1a7f4e2c3], daughter of Joseph William Cherry and Pennaritta Pritchard, was born 3 January 1866 in Bertie Co NC (she was not shown in her parents' home in the 1880 census). Lena married Robert Watson Rawls on 12 January 1890. He was born 24 March 1867 in Bertie Co, son of Moore Rawls and Judith Frances Garrett, and was a brother of Frances G Rawls who married Lena's brother Ervin Cherry. Robert died in December 1928 at Ahoskie. Lena died on 29 August 1925 at Ahoskie and was buried at Woodville. They had six children- *

        Leon Leroy Cherry [C1a9k7h2a], son of Edward Augustus Cherry and Sallie Lucinda Mayo, was born 27 October 1880, probably in Pitt Co NC because his parents were living with his father's parents in June 1880 in Pitt Co. Leon died on 11 September 1951. He married Annie Lee Alford in 1910. She was born in 1894. They had two children-*

        Letitia Cherry [C1a6e2h11], daughter of Jarrard William Cherry and Susan Jenkins, was born about 1836 in Marengo Co AL. (77)

        Levi Cherry [C1a7f3a], son of Cader Cherry and Judith Burnett of Beaufort and Edgecombe Co Counties NC, was born about 1755, probably in Beaufort Co since his father lived there in 1743. Levi married Sally _____ who died in 1835 in Edgecombe Co. They had moved to Edgecombe Co by 1776 because on 19 October that year Edward Cobb of Edgecombe Co, planter, sold to “Levi Cherry of same, planter,” 175 acres on Averoy's Creek for £85. Witnesses were Cader Cherry, John Thigpen, and Jonathan Thigpen. And on 15 February 1783 William Gainer of Halifax Co sold 200 acres to Thomas Lewis of Edgecombe Co. This land was adjoining the property of James Thigpen, Levi Cherry, and Clementine Leggett, and was on the north side of Tar River on “Coneto Pocosin.” One of the witnesses at this sale was David Cobb. From these two land deeds, we know that Levi (and probably his father Cader Cherry) lived in a neighborhood of Cobb and Thigpen families on Avery's Creek, on the north side of the Tar River near the Coneto River. His daughter Elizabeth married Jonas Cobb. Levi and his family were listed on the 1790 census of Edgecombe Co: one male age 16 or older -- hired help?, or and unknown son?; two males under age 16 (Levi Jr & Eason), and seven females (wife and six daughters).

        Levi was in the 1st Regiment of the NC Militia, and died in January or February 1824 in Edgecombe Co. The principal buyers at his estate sale were his wife Sally, and Aaron, John W, & Eason Cherry. The administrators were Aaron Atkinson (husband of Levi's daughter Sarah) and Silas Everett (husband of Levi's daughter Rebecca). Sally's estate records of November 1835 named ten heirs (Rebecca Everitt, Spica Pippin, Anna Thigpen, Aaron Cherry, Lucy Crisp, Elizabeth Cobb, Sally Atkinson, Kinchen Cherry, Eason Cherry, and “the heirs of Rhoda Wilkinson, decd”); Levi Jr, who died 20 years prior without issue, was not named in her estate records. Sally's administrator was Aaron Atkinson. Their children were-

1.     Rhoda Cherry, b 1770s

2.     Spica Cherry, b c1779

3.     Rebecca Cherry, b 1776-1784

4.     Sarah Cherry, b c1780

5.     Kinchen Cherry, b 1783

6.     Elizabeth Cherry, b 1787

7.     Levi Cherry Jr, b 1785-1794

8.     Anna Cherry, b 1795

9.     Eason Cherry, b 1790-1794

10.   Lucy Cherry, b 1798

11.   Aaron Cherry, b c1800 (57,94,77,WD,5apehij)

        Levi Cherry Jr [C1a7f3a7], son of Levi Cherry and Sally _____ of Edgecombe Co NC, was born between 1785 and 1794 in Edgecombe Co. In 1815 he and his father were on the county tax list, but he died by 15 August 1815. His estate inventory was made by John Wilkerson, the administrator and Levi's brother-in-law. His father was still alive when Levi died. There is no evidence that Levi married or had children. In 1810 he was single, living near Aaron Cherry (Aaron was born by 1765). (WD,5pht)

        Levi Cherry [C1a9h1i5], probably a son of Eason Cherry and Martha _____ of Edgecombe Co NC, died in Edgecombe Co in December 1849 of pneumonia. Amos W Cobb was appointed to be “special administrator” for the estate, thus indicating that Levi had urgent business matters to be attended to which couldn't wait for the normally slow process of probate. Levi was born in NC in 1823. The 1850 census shows that Martha _____, wife of Levi Cherry of Edgecombe Co, was widowed in the 1849-1850 winter, so she must have been the wife of this Levi Cherry. Martha was the principal buyer at his estate sale in January 1850. Amos W Cobb was born in NC in 1806 and was a farmer in Edgecombe Co in 1860. (85,5nq)

        Lewis A Cherry [C1a3f2a1h], son of Lunsford Rhodes Cherry and Mary George, was born in 1848 in Edgecombe Co NC. (77,5mnq)

        Lewis C Cherry [C1a9f4g12], son of Gerrard Yarrell Cherry and Mary Ann Katheryn Edwards, was born in 1848 in Todd Co KY. (77)

        Lewis C Cherry [unknown], married L L Kelly in Hardin Co TN on 2 November 1890. (9m)

        Lewis Cass Cherry [C1a9c1k3h], son of Wiley P Cherry and Julia Etta Whitley, was born 19 November 1848 at Dancyville, Haywood Co TN. He married Statyra Isabella Coppedge in Haywood Co on 18 January 1875. She was born 19 November 1855 at Dancyville, and died there on 12 November 1937. Lewis died on 19 December 1940 at Dancyville. They had eight children-

1.     Walter Clarence Cherry, b 28 Nov 1875

2.     James Wiley Cherry, b 20 Mar 1878

3.     William Tanner Cherry, b 20 Jun 1880

7.     Allen Turner Cherry, b 29 Apr 1889

8.     Mattie Susan Cherry, b 13 Mar 1892 (79,77, 29mnq)

        Lewis Knight Cherry [C1a3f2a2], son of Aaron Cherry and Elizabeth Holmes Knight, was born 21 October 1799 in Edgecombe Co NC. He married Charity Brown, daughter of Jacob Brown Sr and Susannah _____, about 1827. In Edgecombe Co, as part of the estate settlement of his father in the May 1842 court session, there was a division of the inherited slaves of Aaron Cherry among Aaron's heirs, “namely, Lunsford R Cherry, Sally R Jones, and Henry Hyman as guardian for the heirs of Lewis Cherry, decd., April 18, 1842.” In 1830 Lewis was living in Martin Co next door to Dawson Cherry. Lewis had at least three children. Lewis K Cherry lived in Macon, GA as indicated by a Tax Digest of 1838. He was listed as owning 202½ acres of land in District 15, No. 128. He lived behind the site of an old inn near the Flint River between Fort Valley and Marshalville. There is a date of 1860 in the iron grillework around his grave, but this date is evidently the date when the fence was erected. His wife Charity remarried to John James Kaigler on 4 Mar 1841. There is an Edgecombe Co deed record (Book 26, page 382) in which “Charity Kaigler, formerly the widow of Lewis K Cherry” and Francis L Cherry, George W Cherry, James N Cole and wife Elizabeth of Russell Co AL all made deed transfers to Lunsford R Cherry on 18 January 1853. Lunsford was Lewis K Cherry's brother, and Charity was Lewis' widow who had remarried to a Mr Kaigler. Francis, George, and Elizabeth were children of Lewis. Lewis' mother's 12 March 1840 will in Edgecombe Co named her son “Lewis K Cherry, deceased,” so we know he was died by then. On 23 November 1838 the Southern Christian Advocate newspaper in GA had Lewis' obituary as “Lewis K Cherry was born in Edgecombe Co NC Oct 21 1799 and removed to this state some years past. He died the 25th ult. of consumption. Wife and three children survive.” Therefore we know that Lewis died of tuberculosis on 25 October 1838, probably at Macon, Monroe Co.

        In 1850 in Russell Co AL, Charity Kaigler was a widowed farmer, and was born in NC in 1807. Living with her were two Kaigler children, and next door were three of her children from her marriage with Lewis: Francis, George, and Elizabeth Cherry. Charity died on 7 July 1883. Their children were-

a.     Francis Lafayette Cherry, b 3 May 1828

b.     George Washington Cherry, b 17 Jul 1831

c.     Sarah Elizabeth Cherry, b 1834

Charity's child from her marriage with John James Kaigler was James Kaigler, born in Russell Co in 1843. John J Kaigler also had a son from a prior marriage, William Kaigler, born in NC in 1835. Both boys were living with Charity in 1850. (77,52n) (57,83,95,77,52n,1j,5epiq)

        Lex Cherry [C1a7d4c1f1d], son of Lawrence Huston Cherry and Nora A Spear, married Edith Moss. She was a daughter of Anthony Calvin Moss and Lucy Marshall. Lex and Edith were merchants in the Oak Grove Community of Clay Co TN for many years. He also served as postmaster at Memorial (now called Oak Grove). (77)

        Lillie Drucilla Cherry [C1a9f4g16], daughter of Gerrard Yarrell Cherry and Mary Ann Katheryn Edwards, was born 4 March 1858 at Clarksville, Red River Co TX. Lillie married “Daniel” Boone Sachse on 28 April 1873 at Pleasant Valley, TX. He was born 16 February 1856 at Wylie, TX, and died on 26 August 1934 at Dallas. He was buried at Sachse in Collin Co. Lillie died on 30 May 1935 at Dallas and was buried at Sachse. They had eight children-

        Luke Cherry [C1a6a], son of Faithfull Cherry and Patience _____, was probably born in the late 1700s, about 1709, in Norfolk Co VA. He received the lion's share (plantation and cooper's tools) in his father's 1727 will, and was the first named child. Therefore, he was likely the eldest son, if not the eldest child. The will, though, stipulated that Luke was to receive this inheritance only after Luke's mother died. Luke was under the age of 21 in July 1727. There was a Luke Cherry in Norfolk Co in 1785. (69,90,28p)

        Luke Cherry [C1a9k4], son of Samuel M Cherry and Mary Moore, was born about 1775 in Pitt Co NC. Luke died at Williamston, Martin Co on 4 July 1811. In his father's 13 May 1813 will, Samuel gave to “son Luke Cherry's heirs ten dollars in cash.” In 1800 Luke was living in Pitt Co, and was apparently married to someone born between 1775 and 1784. Because of the ages of his three children in 1800, Luke must have been born about 1775, and married about 1795. And it appears that Luke had moved to Edgecombe Co by 1810. In 1810 he was living next to James Thigpen, John Cobb, and Nathan Stancil. Then Luke had four daughters and a son all under age 10, a daughter aged between 10 and 15, and a wife of about Luke's age; he also owned four slaves in 1810, and was living in Knight's district. Edgecombe Co deed book 12, page 168, and deed book 10, page 507 named his wife as Sarah Hopkins, daughter of Lewis Hopkins. Luke and Sarah married before 14 December 1802 because on that date in the division of the estate of Lewis Hopkins, “Sarah Cherry, wife of Luke Cherry” was named as Lewis' daughter (Edgecombe Co deed book 10, page 507). Luke Cherry was one of the buyers at the December 1807 estate sale of a William Cherry in Edgecombe Co. Luke left a short will in Martin Co (Book 2, page 5), dated 27 June 1811, but it did not name his wife or children; it did indicate, though, that he did have children. Three slaves were named, though: Annie, Isom, and Isaac. “Worthy friends Joel Cherry and Darling Cherry” were named as executors. The will was proven in September 1811. Why his will was recorded in Martin Co when he had lived for years in Edgecombe Co is not known. Perhaps he lived close to the Martin-Edgecombe border, and it was an easier trip to the Martin Co court house. Sarah's youngest son was not listed in the 1815 poll tax (he was not yet age 16), but Sarah was shown to have her father-in-law as her guardian in 1815 (100 acres worth $400, and no slaves). She was not found in the 1820 Edgecombe Co census, so may have remarried or lived with another family. By 1800 Luke had three children, and by 1810 he had seven-

        Lucy Cherry [C1a9f4g9], daughter of Gerrard Yarrell Cherry and Mary Ann Katheryn Edwards, was born in 1846 in Todd Co KY. She was about 9 years old when her family moved to Red River Co TX. (77,66n)

        Lula Adelia Cherry [unknown], daughter of Robert Cherry and Edna Roberts, was born 17 November 1872 (1869 per 63s) in TN (family bible & death certificate info) (the 1880 Obion Co census had her age as 11). Both her parents were born in TN. Lula married Robert Isaac Hall on 17 November 1886 in Obion Co TN. He may have been Robert Hall, born in TN in 1867, the youngest son of William Hall and Elizabeth _____ of Obion Co. The Robert Hall born in 1867 lived in the same civil district (district #8) near the town of Kenton, as did Lula's family, in 1880. Lula's husband Robert died on 4 June 1907 at Caruthersville, MO, and Lula later married widower John William Whitwaith in Caruthersville on 13 November 1909. They left MO in 1914 and settled in Turner, AR where they are now buried. Lula died on 10 August 1937. She and Robert had six children, and with John had two- *

Lula had two brothers who lived in Blythville, AR. (L,KR,63s)

        Lula Frances Cherry [C1a9e9b6j], daughter of James Ormond Cherry and Sophy Jane Britton, was born in 1879 at Oakland, Colorado Co TX. She married Lee Williams. (77)

        Lulu Cherry [C1a9f4g2c], son of Thomas Glover Cherry and Mary Jane Farmer, was born 31 January 1866, died as an infant. (77)

        Lunsford Rhodes Cherry [C1a3f2a1], son of Aaron Cherry and Elizabeth Holmes Knight, was born 22 July 1798 in Bertie Co NC. He was single, living in his own home next door to John W Cherry in 1820. Lunsford married first to Mildred “Milly” Harry Pittman on 31 March 1826 in Edgecombe Co. Bond was provided by Reddin Pittman. She was born about 1798, daughter of Harrod Pitman and Elizabeth B Rhodes, and died early in September 1829 in Edgecombe Co. And on 5 July 1832 Lunsford married Mary George in Edgecombe Co; bond this time was posted by Charles W Knight. Mary was born about 1808 in NC. On 24 September 1835 Lunsford R Cherry gave property to Sally Ann B Harper, Wilson Harper, James R Harper, William B Harper, and David Harper, all children of Bennett Harper. Perhaps the Harper children were related to Lunsford's new wife.

        In 1830 he was living next door to his father, and was still in Edgecombe Co in 1840 through 1860. In 1840 there were four young girls in his household, but the eldest was too old to have been a daughter from either of his marriages; perhaps she was Mary George's young sister (or Mary's daughter from a prior marriage?). Lunsford was called “Major Lunsford R Cherry” in a newspaper article about his marriage. In December 1846 an Elizabeth George died and Lunsford became the trustee for James George; James (Sr?) was the administrator of Elizabeth George's estate. His home in 1860 was two doors from the Coffield Knight (age 60) family. In 1850 a 20 year old Mary Denton was living with Lunsford and Mary. Lunsford died in 1875 and had at least eight children-

h.     Lewis A Cherry, b 1848

In 1860 an Elizabeth Pender, age 64, was living with Lunsford and Mary. Edgecombe marriage records show: a Sally Ann Harper who married John T Worrell on 1 April 1852 (or 1855?); William B Harper who married Mary A S Burnes on 6 August 1857, and married Elizabeth Purvis on 2 April 1861, and married Mary E Bynum on 1 November 1866.

        Lydia Cherry [C1a9i5], daughter of Solomon Cherry and Sofia _____ (Staton?) of Pitt and Edgecombe Counties NC, was born in 1777 in Pitt Co. She was named in her father's 1808 Edgecombe Co will as “Liddy Stancil,” (she inherited 10 shillings from her father), so was married to a Mr Stancil by then. He was John Stancil, born in the early 1770s, and probably a son of Godfrey Stancil. Lydia and John had moved to TN by 1805 because their daughter Margaret was born there. John died in Stewart Co TN in 1844 before June 5 because then Philip Nolan qualified as administrator of John Stancil's estate, and after the 1840 census. Lydia was still living in Stewart Co in 1853 when she paid taxes for 300 acres and two slaves. She and John had six known children-*

a.     Nathan Stancil, b 1798 in NC, married in the 1820s, probably in Stewart Co TN. His wife was a few years younger, born in the 1800s. In 1830 they were living in Stewart Co with their two children. In 1840 there was a Nathan Stancil in Hickman Co KY. His children by 1830 were-

h.     Achziah Stancil, b 1816-1820 in Stewart Co TN, married George Lowens and died in IL. She and her husband may have been the couple living with her parents in 1840, if the young adults were not Aschziah's older brother and sister. That couple may have been the parents of a daughter under the age of 5. The man was born in the 1810s. (HD, 37ijk)

The Stancil families were well established in Pitt Co by the early 18th Century. Captain Godfrey Stancil's militia controlled a pie-shaped portion of Pitt Co spreading to the north-northeast from Martinsborough to the county borders in 1775 (in 1786 Martinsborough was renamed to Greenville). In Godfrey Stancil's home in 1775 were eighteen members: two males between age 16 and 50; no males over age 50; four boys under age 16; two women; one girl; and five slaves. A few doors away was the Solomon Cherry household of seven members: two males between age 16 and 50; two boys under age 16; one woman; and two girls.

        In 1830 in Stewart Co there were three John Stancil families: John, who married Lydia Cherry; John C, a son; and a third John Stancil born in the 1790s. The third John had three teenage boys in his household, five teenage girls, two girls aged 5 to 9, and one girl under 5. (57,WD,HD,5p,7t,37ijkn)

        Mary Cherry [C1a5c], daughter of Thomas Cherry and Sarah Willson, was born about 1710 in Norfolk Co VA. She was baptized in Norfolk Co, and was married to Eleazer Tart by 17 April 1748 when her father's will was written. Eleazer Tart Senr and his wife Sarah witnessed the will of John Johnson in Norfolk Co on 6 April 1721. Because of their names, the date of the Johnson will, and the name of Mary Cherry's daughter, it would appear that Mary's husband was Eleazer Tart Junr, and his parents were the witnesses in 1721. If Eleazer Senr was a “Senr” by 1721, then his son, the husband of Mary Cherry, must have at least been a young man by 1721. Therefore Eleazer Tart Junr must have been by 1700, and would have been a few years older than Mary since her father was born in 1670. Mary inherited a Negro boy named Robin and a feather bed. Mary had a daughter-

1.     Sarah Tart, b 1730s? (L,RM,28p)

        Mary Cherry [C1a5d4], daughter of Jeremiah Cherry and Mary Ferbee, was perhaps born in the 1740s in Norfolk Co VA. She received bedroom furniture from her father's 1754 will. She was called “Mary Cherry” in her father's will, so was probably yet unmarried in 1754. See the biography of her sister Martha Cherry. (57,28p)

        Mary Cherry [C1a7h6], daughter of Caleb Cherry, was born by the early 1770s in Norfolk Co VA. She had apparently not married by the time her father's will was written in 1788, but on 9 February 1789 she had married John Miars (Mears?) in Norfolk Co. Surety was provided by her brother John Cherry. (77,28apm)

        Mary Cherry [C1a6c1c], daughter of Jesse Cherry and Mary Riddick, was probably born in the 1760s in Tyrrell Co NC. She married Daniel _____. (57)

        Mary Cherry [C1a9k8], daughter of Samuel M Cherry and Mary Moore, was born about 1782 in Pitt Co NC. She married William Crisp, who died in Edgecombe Co in 1819. In her father's 13 May 1813 will, Samuel named “my daughter Mary Crisp,” so she was married by then. Mary's sisters Nancy and Rebecca also married Crisp men. (57,WD)

        Mary Cherry [C1a3f1e], daughter of Theophilus Cherry of Norfolk Co VA, was perhaps born in the 1760s in Norfolk Co. She received one-third of brother Theophilus' land when the rest of the heirs received more equal shares. (28pa)

        Mary Cherry [C1a6b7], daughter of Faithful Cherry and Susannah _____, was probably born in the 1760s in Tyrrell Co NC. She was named in her father's February 1787 Martin Co will, and married _____ Etheridge. Mary died in December 1812 in Martin Co. (77,1p)

She was named in her father's February 1811 will as “Mary Beach;” she had married _____ (Thomas III?) Beech between 1787 and 1790. There was a Job Beach, age in the 20s, living close to Thomas Beach Jr and Thomas Beach Sr in 1810 in Martin Co. (68,69,L, 1aph)

        Mary Cherry [C1a9p1], daughter of Willis W Cherry of Duplin Co NC, was born about 1768, perhaps in Beaufort Co, or in Duplin Co. She grew up in Duplin Co and married Samuel Bennett there on 17 December 1788. He was of about the same age as Mary. His father was probably Thomas Bennett since Thomas was the only Bennett in the county in 1784, and in 1800 was the only one who was old enough to be Sam's father. There were a few other Bennett families in 1800, but they were of an age to only be Sam's brothers, not parents. In 1810 there was no Samuel Bennett family in the county, nor a Mary / Polly Bennett. Mary and Sam had one girl in 1790, and four children (and three slaves) in 1800-

a.     girl Bennett, b 1789-1790

a.     girl Bennett, b 1790s

b.     boy Bennett, b 1790s

c.     girl Bennett, b 1790s

d.     girl Bennett, b 1790s

Thomas Bennett patented 200 acres in Duplin Co on 22 July 1774, land on the north side of Goshen Swamp between Dry Pond branch and White Oak branch, joining Willis Cherry's land (Grant 8343, page 9). Therefore, Thomas Bennett, as the probable father of Samuel Bennett, lived next door to Mary Cherry. (68,108,L,35maehp)

        Mary Cherry [C1a7f1], daughter of Solomon Cherry of Norfolk Co VA, was born in the 1730s in Norfolk Co, or in Bertie Co NC. She married John Jenkins, and died in 1798. They apparently lived in Bertie Co since John Jenkins was found there on tax rosters in 1757, 1769, 1771, and 1783. John Jenkins Sr was living in Bertie Co in 1790. Mary's sister Elizabeth Cherry married Captain Irving Jenkins. (77,NW,WD)

        Mary Cherry [C1a7f4c], daughter of Solomon Cherry Jr and Mary Eason, was born 12 June 1788 in Bertie Co NC. She married her cousin Solomon Cherry. Her line is continued under his name. (77)

        Mary “Polly” Cherry [C1a6c2c6], daughter of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Mayo, was born in the 1790s in Martin Co NC. She married Richard Medford by 1822. Mary's father named his daughter “Polly Medford” in his 24 July 1823 will, which was witnessed by Richard Medford. Jenney Cherry named “well beloved niece Mary Medfort” in Jenney's 23 May 1822 Martin Co will. The 5 January 1833 will of James Medford in Martin Co, proved in January 1834, named children and one grandchild Sally Ann Cherry. One of James' sons was Richard Medford. Who the Sally Ann Cherry was is not known; none of Polly Cherry's brothers married a Medford woman. (91, 1ape)

        Mary Cherry [C1a3f6c], daughter of Robert Cherry and Mary Worsley, was born in the 1790s in Edgecombe Co NC. She was named in her father's will (received slaves and furniture), and married Joshua Pender. (77,5aehp)

He was born in NC in 1793, and was apparently a son of William Singleton and Elizabeth _____ (26 December 1829 will of William Singleton). By 1850 they were living in the Tranter's Creek area of Beaufort Co. David died on 17 October 1863. He named his wife Polly, children, and a grandson David B McKeel in his 10 June 1861 will. Polly died after 1870 in Beaufort Co. They had about 14 children, all born in Beaufort Co (order not correct)-

1.     Elizabeth Singleton, b c1814, married _____ Roberson by June 1861. Because of her birth date, Elizabeth was likely married by the mid1830s. In 1860 in Beaufort Co there was a Joseph Roberson (born in 1828) and Margaret Roberson (born 1835) living with James Cherry (born 1836) and Nancy Cherry (born 1839).

        Mary Elizabeth Cherry [C1a6e4e3], daughter of Jeremiah Cherry Jr and Mary Rebecca Cooper, was born in 1824 at Columbia, TN. Her father made business trips to Giles Co a few miles to the south, and possibly through these visits she met Amaziah Young. Amaziah was born about 1823 in the northeast or east side of Giles Co, son of Rufus K Young of Rhode Island and Rebecca Young (a daughter of John Young and Nancy Smith) from Spartanburg Co SC. Mary and Amaziah were married at Columbia on 11 August 1842 and lived there until they moved to Williamsport. He ran for the county court clerk's office in 1848, and lost, and was a teacher in 1850. In 1859 and 1860 he was a justice of the peace, but farming was his real profession until his death.

        Amaziah and Mary moved from Columbia to Williamsport along the Duck River at the western edge of the county about 1855, where their younger children were born; Williamsport held sad memories for them, having buried three of their children in the Williamsport Cemetery by 1866. Afterwards they and most of their remaining children moved on to Collierville where Amaziah's brothers and widowed mother were living. Amaziah and Mary bought 69 acres three miles south of Collierville on 22 December 1871 from John M Fleming, land bordered on the south and west by the property of John Jarman Jr, father-in-law of Amaziah's daughter Angeline.

        At Collierville Amaziah and a brother joined the Masonic Order, and from the Masonic records we know that on 19 August 1879 Amaziah died at Collierville. He is probably buried in a Collierville cemetery, but by the 1980s there can be found no remains of his grave. Now widowed, Mary moved north to Bells, TN by 1880 with two of her sons and a daughter, but they soon moved east to Savannah where Amaziah's sister Harriet was living. Mary died at Savannah on 7 November 1896 and is likely buried in the Savannah Cemetery in one of the two unmarked graves between her son Jeremiah and his first wife Emma East (daughter Angeline is probably in the other unmarked grave). Mary and Amaziah had eleven children-

        Mary Louise Cherry [C1a9c1g1a1e], daughter of Edgar Cherry and Mary Dinwiddie Irwin, was born 10 December 1875 in Hardin Co TN. She attended school in Louisville, KY from January 1894. Mary married F Hardin Winship on 31 January 1897 in Nashville, TN. He was born in TN on 7 September 1874, nephew of Dr Robert A Hardin. Hardin Winship was a factory owner, and businessman with Dr James K Barlow before Dr Barlow bought Hardin's interest; before his marriage Hardin was a clerk and pilot for one or more of the steamboats plying the TN River. In 1900 they were living with her parents, and at that time did not have any children. They finally settled in Savannah. The Savannah Courier newspaper, on 18 September 1903, reported that Mary's father had purchased Dr Barlow's interest in the John Hardin East property and would build a residence there for Mary. When the Citizens Bank was founded in 1904, Hardin was one of the charter members. He died on 26 December 1922 and Mary died on 28 April 1960; they are buried in Savannah Cemetery. They had two children-*

        Maullene Cherry [C1a7d4c2c3b], was a daughter of John Mack Cherry and Mandy Baley Jones. (77)

        Maxey Cherry [C1a3f1f], son of Theophilus Cherry of Norfolk Co VA, was dead when his father's 1804 will was written. He did not live in his own home in 1785 (nor was he in the 1785 Federal census of Norfolk Co VA), so must have been living with his parents. Since he married Lydia Deale on 29 March 1792 in Norfolk Co, he was likely age 20 to 25 when he married; thus Maxey was born in the mid 1760s. Maxey had two children, named in his father's will-

1.     John Cherry, b 1793-1804.

2.     William Cherry, b 1793-1804. (28pam)

        McAnah Leonora Cherry [C1a9k11g], daughter of Thomas Benjamin Cherry and Emily L Bell, was born 6 June 1844 in Edgecombe Co NC, and died 27 August 1871 in Greene Co AL. (WD,22nq)

        4.   John D Cherry (77) (77)

        Mercer Cherry [C1a9f1], son of Charles Cherry and Winifred Mercer, was probably born about 1767 in Beaufort Co NC. He was the head of his own home in the 1790 census, so by then must have been in his early 20s. Mercer was alone in his home in 1810, so his wife was probably already dead. Since he probably had a daughter, born in 1805, she must have been living with a female relative. It appears that Mercer lived his whole life in Beaufort Co. He left his will there dated 5 July 1838, which was probated the following September. In it he named Jeremiah R Cherry as his executor (as did many other Cherry wills). Mercer left his estate to “Patsey Brown and her children now born being 3 in number.” Witnesses to the will were N R(?) Brown and Henry C Hoyt. Since Mercer had no sister named Patsy, nor any sister married to a Mr Brown, Patsy was probably Mercer's daughter-

a.     Patsy Cherry, b 1805 (87,4apein)

        Mercer Cherry [C1a9f4i], son of Charles Cherry Jr and Rosannah R Yarrell, was born in 1817 in Montgomery Co TN. He married Elizabeth _____. She was born in 1826 in VA. In 1850 he was still living in Montgomery Co with his wife and children, and his mother was living with them. They were not found in TN after 1850. On 24 February 1848 in Montgomery Co, Mercer provided the marriage bond for Aquilla Grant and Mariah L Cherry. By 1850 Mercer and Elizabeth had two daughters, both born in Montgomery Co-*

1.     Mary Edwina Cherry, b 1848 in Montgomery Co TN. In February 1858 Rosannah Cherry gave personal property and 46 acres in trust to her grand-daughter, Mary Edwina Cherry, also to son Charles Cherry, daughter Ruth Oldham, daughter Louisa Lowery, son Jeremiah Cherry, and grand-daughter Catherine Thomas. Why granddaughter Anita Cherry, Mary Edwina's sister, recieved nothing is not known. (Had she died in the 1850s?) (77,80, 40ijkn)

2.     Anita Cherry, b 1849 (77,80,40ijkn)

        Milley Yarrell Cherry [C1a9f4c], daughter of Charles Cherry Jr and Rosannah R Yarrell, was born in 1805. She married _____ Thomas. In February 1858 Rosannah Cherry gave personal property and 46 acres in trust to her grand-daughter Mary Edwina Cherry, also to son Charles Cherry, daughter Ruth Oldham, daughter Louisa Lowery, son Jeremiah Cherry, and grand-daughter Catherine Thomas. Milley and her husband had a daughter-*

1.     Catherine Thomas (77)

        Millie Cherry [unknown], married B F McDougal in Hardin Co TN on 11 January 1887. G C Coffee was a witness. See Alonzo Cherry. (9m)

        Milly Cherry [C1a4i1], daughter of Thomas Cherry and _____ Doctron, was born in the 1780s in Bertie Co NC. She was named in her father's September 1812 as “Milley Cherry,” not under a married name. She also was not living with her parents in 1800, so perhaps had married by the summer of 1800. (57,77,6ae)

        Minerva Cherry [C1a9f3e], daughter of Jeremiah Cherry and Mary _____, was probably born in the early 1820s in Beaufort Co NC. She had married Robert Rew and moved to AL by 1841. They were not found in AL in 1840. By 1841 they probably had not yet had children. (87)

        Minerva Cherry [C1a6b2a2c1], daughter of Daniel B Cherry and Margaret Rebecca Stancil, was born 5 June 1821 in Stewart Co TN. She married Axium Green Wallace on 30 December 1846 in Stewart Co, his second marriage. He was born in Stewart Co on 12 March 1813, son of Etheridge E Wallace and Amy Taylor. (In 1860 in Stewart Co, Green said he said he was age 31, and Minirva said she was age 27). They lived in Stewart Co. Minerva died on 1 February 1891 in Stewart Co, and Axium died on 29 May 1904. By 1870 they had six children, all born in Stewart Co-

a.     Daniel Newton Wallace, b 30 Dec 1847

b.     Augustus Henry Wallace, b 13 Sep 1853

c.     Rebecca D Wallace, b 8 Feb 1855

They had six children from this marriage: Emmit, born 1840; Margaret, born 1841; Dossie; Adeline; Jeanette, and Sallie. Axiom had two children out of wedlock with Sally Clark: Elizabeth Clark, born 1836 and who married Yeatman Cherry, and Berry Wallace, born 1838. (128,DH,L,37kmnqr)

        Minnie Bell Cherry [C1a7d4b1b4], daughter of George Washington Cherry and Tabitha Ann Young, was born in 10 December 1872, probably in MO. She died young and is buried in the Southfork Cemetery in Howell Co. (77)

        Minnie L Cherry [C1a9k7h2b], daughter of Edward Augustus Cherry and Sallie Lucinda Mayo, was born 8 August 1883, and died on 25 August 1884. (77)

        Mitchell Cherry [C1a7d4c1f1g], is a son of Lawrence Huston Cherry and Nora A Spear. (77)

        Mollie Cherry [C1a9c1e2], daughter of Eli Cherry and Nancy Wheatley, was born in 1802, probably in Davidson Co TN. She married _____ Franks. There was a marriage in Hardin Co TN between Henry T Franks and a Mollie Cherry [unknown] on 18 February 1896. This Hardin Co couple had an unnames son who was born and died in 1897 and was buried in Cherry Chapel West Cemetery next to a brother, Glen Kirkland Franks, born 23 March 1908 and died on 29 April 1917. (77,92,9M)

        Mosella Dearborn Cherry [C1a9c1i9], daughter of Daniel Cherry and Sarah Turner, was born 11 July 1827 in Haywood Co TN. She married Hiram A Partee on 24 August 1844. He was born in 1823 (age 37 in 1860 census) in NC, and was a nephew of the Hiram Partee who married Mosella's sister Louanna. In 1860 they were living in Haywood Co with their children, but not in 1870. In 1860 Mosella's mother was also living with them. Mosella died on 22 December 1882 at her son's home in Little Rock, AR and is buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Memphis. Hiram was buried near Mosella in Elmwood Cemetery. Her five children were-*

a.     Katie Partee, b 1846

b.     Sallie C Partee, b 1849

c.     Noah Partee, b 1851

d.     Hiram A Partee Jr, b 1854, lived at Little Rock, AR in 1882. (77)

See Louanna T Cherry, Mosella's sister. Louanna's husband died in 1872 and was buried at Ripley, TN. (125,57,69,77,114,29q)

        Moses Cherry [unknown], of Boone Co KY, left a will there in 1810: Book A, page 72. It was probably the same Moses who camped at Ash Emison's spring (shown as site No 1 on original land patents of early KY) in April 1776, about four miles north of McClelland's Fort. This camp came to be Emison's Station in some early histories. Since others in Moses' party were from PA, and since Boone Co is at the north side of KY, next to the Ohio River, Moses also probably came from PA. The Ohio was the main route used by settlers to KY from PA.

        Myra Crayton Cherry [C1a7d4c1e6], daughter of Harrison Wayne Cherry and Julia America Crayton Cherry, was born 30 January 1886, and died on 24 April 1886. (77)

        Myron Lee Cherry [C1a6e4h2b8a], son of Nelson Clement Cherry and Irma Henrietta Gerson, was born in 1949. In the 1980s he was living in Centerville TN. (EC)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a9k3], daughter of Samuel M Cherry and Mary Moore, was born about 1770 in Pitt Co NC. In her father's 13 May 1813 will, Samuel named “my daughter Nancey Crisp,” so she was married by then. Nancy's sisters Mary and Rebecca also married Crisp men. Nancy married Jesse Crisp (William Crisp, per WD), son of Samuel Crisp. Jesse Crisp's 30 December 1829 will in Edgecombe Co (Book F, page 129) stated “Having sometime ago given away all my property but a remnant,” gave the remnant to his son Spier (he received a Negro named Bristow), daughter Eleanor Bennett's heirs (the heirs were not named, but they received a Negro girl), daughter Nancy Bennett of TN. His will did not name wife Nancy, nor son John W Crisp, but John was named as a witness. Jesse died in or soon before August 1831 in Edgecombe Co, and Nancy died before 1829. Her children were-*

a.     Spier Crisp, witnessed his grandfather Samuel Crisp's will on 10 June 1829, so was likely born by 1800. (5p)

b.     Eleanor Crisp, married _____ Bennett, and died by 1829. She probably had children. (WD,5p)

c.     Nancy Crisp, married _____ Bennett and lived in TN in 1829. (WD)

d.     John W Crisp, witnessed his grandfather Samuel Crisp's will on 10 June 1829, so was likely born by 1800. John was also a witness of Jesse Crisp's December 1829 will. (5p) (57, WD,5p)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a9p8], daughter of Willis W Cherry and Sarah _____ of Duplin Co NC, was born about 1790 (about 1772 per L) in Duplin Co. She was not shown as a child in the state census of 1784. In 1850 she was Nancy Young, age 60 and born in NC, and was the last person listed in the Duncan Cherry household. Duncan was probably a son of Lemuel Cherry, Nancy's brother, who lived two doors from Lemuel. And living with Lemuel in 1850 was Elender Young, age 50. Perhaps she was an in-law of Nancy. Nancy was not shown living with her mother in 1810, so had probably married a Mr Young near the end of the 1800s, possibly between 1807 and 1810. (68,L,35aehnp)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a6e9], daughter of Job Cherry and Abiah Ventures, was born about 1774 in Martin Co or in Tyrrell Co NC. She was not named in her father's February 1811 will. (69,L,1p)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a9c1q], daughter of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Gainer, was born about 1794 in Martin Co NC. She was married two times: the first was to Cornelius Buck, and the second time to John H Halliburton about 1835. Cornelius was born in 1780 in Pitt Co. He and Nancy apparently moved to TN about 1808 after their daughter Frances was born (daughter Caroline was born in TN), and lived in Haywood Co in November 1827 because they sold 200 acres there at that time. Cornelius died in the early 1830s in Haywood Co and John died before 1850, probably in Haywood Co. Nancy was still living in Haywood Co in 1850 (age 56), with her son Poleman and her two youngest daughters. Nancy died in 1852; her 13 children were-

1.     Frances Buck, b 18 Sep 1807

2.     Caroline Buck, b 10 Dec 1809

3.     Franklin Buck, b 13 Aug 1812

4.     Henry Buck, b 15 Mar 1815

5.     Adlean Buck, b 16 Jan 1817

6.     Churchwell C Buck, b 1 Oct 1819

7.     Juritha Buck, b 10 Oct 1822

8.     Humphry Buck, b 25 Mar 1824

9.     Poleman Buck, b 16 Mar 1826

10.   Robert Buck, b 9 Apr 1829

11.   Albert C Buck, b 9 Apr 1829

12.   Cornelia Ann Buck, b 17 Mar 1834

13.   Elizabeth Halliburton, b c1836

John Halliburton apparently had a child born about 1836, probably from a marriage before he married Nancy, or else Nancy and John married about 1835. (57,69,77,1e, 29jq,44q)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a7f4g], daughter of Solomon Cherry Jr and Mary Eason, was born about 1798 in Bertie Co NC, and died on 5 July 1867. She married Julian Askew. He had died by 1847. In 1860 Nancy was a farmer, owned a small farm, and Sarah A Carter, age 41, was living with Nancy in Bertie Co. (77,6hq)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a6e4g], daughter of Jeremiah Cherry and Mary Price, was born on 24 November 1802 in Martin Co NC. She grew up in Columbia, TN, and married Thomas Keef there on 4 July 1829. Samuel Keef was the bondsman for the marriage. Thomas was born 20 September 1804. He and Nancy were attacked in their home on 10 November 1840 by Rufus K Polk and George W Polk, who were prosecuted for this crime. Thomas may have been a carpenter because on 11 June 1832 William Cole, age 10, was bound to Thomas Keef to learn to be a carpenter (Maury Court minutes, book 12, page 184). Thomas died on 24 August 1856, and Nancy died 6 September 1871. They lived in Columbia in April 1852, so he likely died there, although they were not found in the county on any census after their marriage. Both are buried in Greenwood Cemetery on the north edge of Columbia. In the 1860 census there was a woman named Elvira N Guest living with Nancy. Elvira was born on 22 November 1822 in TN, so may have been a daughter from a prior marriage of Thomas (or an unidentified daughter of Nancy's sister Mary, who married Joshua Guest?). (53,55,61,72,91,N,10mjknq)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a6c4a], daughter of Joel Cherry and perhaps Lydia _____, was living with her family in 1790 and 1800, but was married by 1810 and had children by 1816. Therefore she must have been born in the late 1780s, probably in Martin Co NC. (68,91,1aeh)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a9c1e9], daughter of Eli Cherry and Nancy Wheatley, was born in 1820, probably in Davidson Co TN, and died in 1837 or 1838. (77,RM)

        Nancy Cherry, daughter of John M Cherry and Elizabeth Wingate, was born in 1839 in Henderson Co TN. She was not living with her widowed mother in Henderson Co in 1860, so may have married by the summer of 1860, or died. In any case, she was living with her parents in 1850 in Henderson Co. (77, 24kn)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a6c1b1c5], daughter of Willis Cherry and Emily L Perry, was born in 1845 in Beaufort Co NC. (77,4nq)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a9c1k7d], son of Rufus King Cherry and Martha Wilson, was born in 1857. She married Whit Moore. (77)

        Nancy Cherry [C1a9c1e5i4e], daughter of Edmond Brent Cherry and Lola Brown, was born 20 October 1920 at Paris, TN. (77)

        Nancy E Cherry [C1a9c1g1i3], daughter of Eli C Cherry Jr and Viannah Kendall Shelby, was born 8 November 1869 in Hardin Co TN. She married Jerome D “Rome” Porter in Hardin Co on 16 November 1893. He was born 18 September 1863, son of William Roan Porter and Nancy E Dickson, and died on 12 March 1932. Rome was buried in Herman Cemetery, located next to the Mt Herman Church east of Savannah. Rome was a brother of Henry Luther Porter who married Nancy's sister Margaret Anna Cherry. Nancy died on 19 January 1913 and is buried in Cherry Chapel West Cemetery in Hardin Co, as are many other Cherry relatives. Her gravestone says “wife of jd porter.” After Nancy died Rome married Nora F Whitlow, and in the 1920s they moved to Savannah. She was born 1 October 1880 and died on 9 August 1965; she is buried in Hermmon Cemetery. Nora Whitlow was first married to a Mr Banks. Rome's mother Nancy E Dickson was born 30 March 1825 and died on 3 October 1898; his father William Roan Porter was born 06 August 1821 and died on 24 February 1865; they are buried together in Porter Cemetery #2, located southeast of Ward's Community. (51,52,EP,92,9m)

        Nancy G Cherry [C1a9c1g1d], daughter of Eli Cherry and Cynthia Ward, was born 28 March 1827 in Hardin Co TN. She married A C White on 2 February 1843; she was not found living with her parents in 1850, and in 1860 a 14 year old Elizabeth White was with Mary's parents. On 14 August 1843 Eli Cherry and Samuel White witnessed the Hardin Co will of Samuel Lowrey. Perhaps Samuel White was the father of Nancy's husband and grandfather of Elizabeth. There was a Mrs Nancy White of Cerro Gordo who died in 1845, and another source says Nancy died in 1868. (51,75,77,MC, 9kn)

        Nancy M Cherry [C1a8j12], daughter of Lemuel Cherry and Nancy Ann Moring, was born between 1795 and 1800 in Pitt Co NC. She is assumed to be one of the five daughters living with her father in 1810. Nancy had a son-*

a.     John Cherry (57,77,7aeh)

        Nancy Ward Cherry [C1a9c1g1k7], daughter of Henry Harrison Cherry and Sarah E Alexander, was born 12 January 1881 in Hardin Co TN. She moved to Parker Co TX with her family in the 1890s, and in 1920 was unmarried, the head of her own household. Nannie worked as a drugstore clerk, probably in the one owned by her Uncle Alexander where her brother Isham was a druggist, and was single in 1920. Her sister Emma and various nephews and nieces lived with Nannie in 1820. She died on 27 September 1954. (77,EP)

        Nannie E Cherry [C1a3f6e4b4], daughter of Scerenus Cecil Cherry and Beedie Ann Austin, was born 17 January 1890. She married Con Quinn. (77)
