Sabrina Cherry [C1a6c2c8], daughter of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Mayo, was born after 1800 in Martin Co NC. She was mentioned in the 23 May 1822 Martin Co will of her aunt Jenney Cherry, and was named in her father's 24 July 1823 will. Therefore, Sabrina was probably still unmarried by 1822 and mid-1823 since she was named as a “Cherry” in those two years. A Sabra Cherry married Henry Carney in Edgecombe Co on 1 December 1823. This was probably Sabrina. (91,L,1epz)

       Sallie Louisa Cherry [C1a9k7h3], daughter of Marcus Cicero Stephen Cherry and Arcena Virginia Best, was born 17 May 1854 in Pitt Co NC. She attended Salem College from 1868 to 1870, and married John Mayo on 18 November 1871 in Pitt Co. He was born 15 June 1848 in Edgecombe Co, son of Reuben Mayo and Lucinda Best, and died on 4 May 1926 in Pitt Co. She died on 5 July 1947. They lived north of Bethel on land adjoining Sallie's parents' land. They had five children-

a.    Azella Mayo, b 1875

b.    Lizzie Elnora Mayo, b 1870s?

c.    Exum Lafayette Mayo, b 1870s?

d.    Blanch Mayo, b 1870s?

e.    John Mayo Jr, b 1870s? (88)

John Mayo was a brother of Sallie Lucinda Mayo who married Sallie L Cherry's brother Edward Augustus Cherry. (57,88,89,L,5q)

       Sally Cherry [unknown], married George W Tison in Edgecombe Co on 25 November 1834. (L)

       Sally Cherry [unknown], married Joel Gardner in Edgecombe Co NC on 18 November 1852. There was a J D Gardner and his wife Sarah living in Pitt Co, near Sparta, in 1860. That Sarah was born in NC in 1805; her husband was born in 1807 in NC. They had no children by 1860, but others were living in their home: David Barrow, age 14; S A (girl) Cherry, age 12; M A (girl) Barrow, age 4. See Jesse B Cherry concerning Sally Cherry and the Barrow name. (L,7q)

       Sally Cherry [C1a6b2a2c8f], daughter of Yeatman Whitman Cherry and Elizabeth Clark, was born in April 1860 at Tobaccoport, Stewart Co TN; she must have been the unnamed daughter just 2/12 years old in the 1860 census. Sally married Andrew J Bumpus on 11 May 1883, probably in McDonald Co MO where she was living with her parents in 1880. (77,37q,83s)

       Sally Cherry [C1a9e9b9i], daughter of McGilbra Longstreet Cherry and Nancy Winniford Weathersbee, was born 4 March 1876 and died on 20 September 1876. (77)

       Sally Louisa Cherry [C1a9f4f], daughter of Charles Cherry Jr and Rosannah R Yarrell, was born in 1811 in Montgomery Co TN. She married _____ Lowery. 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. (77,40i)

       Samuel Cherry [C1e], son of immigrant John Cherry and Elizabeth Faithful, was born about 1657 in Norfolk Co VA. He married a daughter of John Moye and _____ Wheeler of London. Sam had two sons, and died in 1733. (EG,133)

       Samuel Cherry [C1a3g], son of John Cherry III and Sarah Spring, was probably born by 1720 in Norfolk Co VA. He was not named in his father's will, and died in 1795 in Orange Co NC. Samuel had three children-

a.    William Cherry, b 1740s?

b.    Samuel Cherry, b 1740s?

c.    Jonathan Cherry, b 1740s? (69,77,NW)

       Samuel Cherry Jr [C1a8d], son of Samuel Maund Cherry and Frances Ballentine, was born about 1721 in Norfolk Co VA. (He was Lemuel Cherry, born about 1685, per 77; i.e., source 77 has Samuel as a generation older. Source WD has Samuel Jr as a nephew of the Lemuel of source 77. Source 114 has Samuel Jr as shown here, son of Samuel Maund.) He received from his father's 1733 will 200 acres of land lying at the head of Deep Creek. (PA,WD,114)

       Samuel Cherry [C1a7d2], son of William Cherry, was probably born in the 1740s in Norfolk Co VA. (77,NW)

       Samuel Cherry [C1a6b2b], son of Jonathan Cherry, bricklayer of Martin Co NC, was not named in his father's 26 July 1815 will. Samuel must have been born by the 1750s because of the dates of some of his land purchases in Martin Co. There are numerous early land sales in Martin Co dealing with a Samuel Cherry; Samuel does not seem to fit any other Samuel in the area, so must be the deceased son of Jonathan. On 15 February 1775 Samuel Cherry bought 150 acres from James Storey and (wife?) Ann Storey, land which was next to other land belonging to Samuel, and which “was granted to John Williams by a deed of Earl of Granville” on 6 November 1760. On 17 September 1779 Samuel received 267 acres “beginning on the head of the Grape Vine Branch in Capt. Mayo's line” and also bounded by Williams' line and Cherry's line, from the state of NC. On 14 June 1780 Samuel sold 140 acres to John Barfill (i.e., Barfeld), land bounded by the Grape Vine Branch, Mayo's line and William's line. Samuel signed and the sale was witnessed by Nathan Mayo and Jethro Howell. On 3 January 1781 Samuel Cherry sold 200 acres to Jethro Harrell (Howell?), both of Martin Co; on 24 July 1781 Samuel Cherry sold 150 acres to Nathan Mayo, both of Martin Co, land next to Jackson's line and “including houses, cleared grounds, woods & underwoods which lands was granted to John Williams by a deed from Earl Granville” on 6 December 1760; It was signed “Samuel Cherry & his wife,” and was witnessed by John Davis, William Barfeld, and Charles Barfeld. On 25 August 1781 Samuel Cherry witnessed a sale from Samuel Gates and wife Vinay to John Rogers, 100 acres in Edgecombe Co. On 14 February 1784 “Samuel Cherry & Mary his wife” of Martin Co sold 200 acres to Blake B Wiggins of Martin Co, land next to Needham Bryan's; on 27 October 1784 Samuel Cherry received two more tracts of land, 200 acres and 105 acres. Samuel signed his name.

       On the 1787 state census of Martin Co, there was no Samuel Cherry in Martin Co. He had either died or moved from the county between 1784 and 1787. In the 1786 state census, the only Cherry names in Pitt Co were Nathaniel Cherry and Lazarus Cherry; Tyrrell Co had no Cherry names in 1786, and there is no existing Edgecombe Co state census. But because children and grandchildren of two of the above mentioned names -- Nathan Mayo, born 1742, and John Williams, died in 1761 in Halifax Co (Nathan married Julia Williams, daughter of John Williams) -- lived in Edgecombe Co, and Samuel witnessed a 1781 land sale in Edgecombe Co, he probably lived very close to the Martin-Edgecombe county line and/or had family ties in Edgecombe Co. In the Raleigh Register newspaper on 13 October 1815 there was an announcement of the death of Samuel Cherry on October 2 in Edgecombe Co.

       On 9 April 1816 a Mary Cherry (Samuel's wife?) of Martin Co sold to Abner Cherry a ¼ undivided ownership of 50 acres, land Mary inherited from one of her parents. The land was apparently inherited by four brothers and sisters from John Smithwick Sr, deceased. It was along Smithwick's Little Creek and next to the edge of Great Creek Swamp. Mary Cherry signed and the sale was witnessed by _____ Biggs and _____ Smithwick (see Joseph Biggs in the Relate Families page). In 1787 there were a cluster of nine Smithwick families living outside of Williamston, and a David Smithwick in town. Of the families outside of town, one was John Smithwick Sr.

       Samuel was not named in his father's July 1815 will (was he dead by then?), but two of his children named in Jonathan's will who were given “the land and plantation where on I now live” were named. A granddaughter “Sinthy Luster” was also named, and may also be a child of Samuel's son William. In the 1800 censuses of NC, the only Samuel Cherry was in Pitt Co, but in 1810 a Samuel was in Edgecombe Co. According to his father's 1815 will, Samuel had two sons, and perhaps a daughter-*

1.    Frederick Cherry, b 1780s?, was not found on any NC census. (68,1p)

2.    William Cherry, b 1780s?, on 6 June 1808 witnessed a land sale between Daniel Leggett and John Leggett. And on 25 August 1810 sold 118.75 acres to James Taylor of Martin Co, land next to Leggett's property and Robason's property. This would put his birth date by the 1780s. The William Cherry in the 1800 census of Martin Co was married and with a boy and girl under the age of 10. (68,1e)

3.    Cynthia Cherry, probably a daughter of Samuel Cherry, had married _____ Luster by July 1815. She was named in her grandfather Jonathan Cherry's will. (68,1p)

Nathan Mayo was a witness to many wills in Martin Co in the late 18th Century: the Hardy Brown (of Halifax Co) will of 16 November 1773; the Thomas Watson will on 26 January 1775; the Robert Savage will on 13 September 1788; the Britton Savidge will on 11 September 1789; the Charles Philpott will on 7 September 1789; and the Robert Sherrod will on 25 December 1800. And Nathan was named as an executor in the: 14 April 1780 will of James Mayo, but was not named as a son of James; the 4 August 1781 will of John Griffin; the 29 July 1775 will of William Jackson; the 19 September 1786 will of Savidge Loveless; the 18 February 1783 will of Arthur Barden, with Micajah Mayo as a witness; the 5 March 1790 will of Jethro Howell, with John Mayo named as a witness and Samuel Cherry was mentioned in the will; the 28 April 1789 will of John Davis; the March 1791 will of Thomas Best, with Solomon Cherry as a witness; and the 18 October 1792 will of Marcom Manning. (68,84,91,1pze)

       Samuel Cherry [unknown], live in Beaufort Co NC in 1790 through 1820. He was born before 1765, as was his wife. In 1790 he lived next to John Cherry Senr, was married, and had two sons. In 1800 he lived next to Charley Cherry Sr and Henry Cherry (Henry was a son of Charley). In 1810 in his household Samuel had a wife and five children; they lived next door to Henry Cherry, who was about the same age. In 1820 Samuel and his wife, and a possible daughter and her children were in Beaufort Co. Samuel's wife was too old to be the children's mother, but the younger woman was of an age to be a mother. She was in her 20s, and had a son about 10 years old, and a daughter and two sons under the age of 10. (4aehi)

       Samuel Cherry [C1e7b], son of Samuel Cherry of Norfolk Co VA, was born by 1795. (69,77,NW)

       Samuel Cherry [C1a9i10], son of Solomon Cherry and Clara Council of Edgecombe Co NC, was born about 1807 in Edgecombe Co. His father's 29 October 1808 will gave the 242 acre plantation where his father was then living to Samuel. This Samuel Cherry was one of the 29 men who established the Farmer's Exchange in 1815. He moved to Pendleton Co SC from Edgecombe Co. He had no children, and died by 3 February 1852. On that date his Edgecombe Co land, given to him by his father, was transferred to his two sisters Sarah and Tabitha, and to brother David Cherry. (57,83, 77,WD,7a,5p)

       Samuel Cherry [C1a9k7i], son of Roderick Cherry and Jennette Cherry, was probably born in between 1828 and 1830 in Edgecombe Co NC. He never married. (77)

He was not married (i.e., was not the head of his own home in 1830, but was in 1840 in Pitt Co). In 1840 he was in his late 20s, as was his wife, and had two children under age 5. Also in his home were a young teenage boy (brother Daniel?), and an older woman in her 40s who was probably his widowed mother. Samuel's children by 1840 were-*

       Samuel Jesse Cherry [C1a9c1n4], son of Lawrence Cherry and Fannie Grey Thigpen, was born in 1827 at Williamston, Martin Co NC. He died about August 1847 in Martin Co. His 4 July 1847 will left most of his estate to his brother Eli Cherry of Martin Co, and to brother “William P Cherry of the state of Tennessee” Samuel left $50. (57,77,DK,1j)

       Samuel M Cherry [C1a9k], son of Lemuel Cherry and Gatsey Ann Llewellyn, was born in 1739 in Beaufort Co NC. Samuel married Mary Moore on 12 November 1756 in Onslow Co (Onslow Co is two counties south of Pitt Co on the Atlantic coast). She was born on 18 August 1739, daughter of Samuel Moore and Mary Nixon. Samuel Cherry was a lieutenant in the NC Militia. He was on the Pitt Co 1764 tax roster, and lived in Pitt Co in January 1773; on that date Samuel Cherry “of Pitt Co” bought a 200 acres tract in Halifax Co from Samuel and Elizabeth Edwards. This was witnessed by Nathan Mayo, Solomon Cherry (probably Samuel's brother), and Mary Edwards. And in June 1773 John Kennedy of Beaufort Co sold Pitt Co land to Samuel for £20 (Book E page 131). The 1775 Pitt Co tax roster (which was carefully done) does not show Samuel, so perhaps he had moved to Halifax Co between 1773 and 1775, and moved back a few short years later. But in the Minutes of the County Committee of 17 July 1775 is the following: “Captain John Hardees Comp'y meat & Choose Different Officers." One of the officers was “Samuel Cherrie, Lieutenant.”

       The 1786 state census does not show Samuel, but he was no doubt there. The 1786 census takers in Pitt Co were lax in their job; some takers just gave a total of the numbers in each age group without listing the heads of the households. And some of the census pages did not completely survive the past two centuries. In 1790 there were two adults over the age of 16 in his house, three boys under age 16, five females, and eight slaves. In 1800 there was one teen / young woman in Samuel's and Mary's household, two males of the same age range, and two girls between the ages of 10 and 15.

       Mary died on 20 August 1800 in Pitt Co, and Samuel began selling / giving property to his children: On 15 February 1801 he sold to Roderick a Negro for £100, witnessed by Frances Crisp; On 10 March he sold to William 100 acres for £60, witnessed by Arnold Hopkins and William Crisp; On 24 October 1801 he sold Roderick 300 acres for $100, witnessed by Samuel Crisp; On 7 August 1807 he sold to Roderick 300 acres for $225, witnessed by Samuel and William Crisp. And on 31 August 1812 Samuel gave to his son John some land “for love and affection.”

       Samuel married second to Clary _____ about 1802 when he was 63 years old (Edgecombe Co deed book O, page 280). Sam and his new wife lived in Pitt Co, near Bethel for a few years, and had two sons. Bethel is much closer to his brother Solomon, in the northern part of the county. By 1810 Samuel and Clary had moved to Edgecombe Co. The 1810 census of Edgecombe Co shows Samuel, over age 45 (born before 1765), a wife born between 1766 and 1784 (Clary was born in March 1771), a male of about the same age as Clary, and a girl born between 1795 and 1800, and two girls and a boy under age 10. Since only the young boy would fit the age of Samuel's younger children, the young man and three girls must have been a son or son-in-law and grandchildren. Also, Samuel had seven slaves in 1810 and lived quite close to Willis Cherry, his nephew.

       Samuel wrote his will on 13 May 1813 in Edgecombe Co (Book E, page 110), and it was proven in the November 1815 Court. His estate was still in probate court in February 1816. Samuel's will granted to his wife “Clarah Cherry the land and plantation whereon I now live” ... “known by the plantation whereon John Maning formerly lived.” John Manning was the husband of Samuel's niece Elizabeth Cherry of Edgecombe Co; she was a daughter of Solomon Cherry. Samuel's will also gave “all the cattle that come by Sollomon Cherry should go to the use of his three youngest children.” Samuel also left his wife Clara “the use of my copper still every year [_____] to still her own Leekor.” The only child Samuel's will did not name was the eldest, John; Samuel's will also gave $50 to Dorcus Smith (Solomon Cherry's daughter), and named a slave Everett. Son Roderick and Benjamin Whitfield were named to be executors, but Administration was granted to Clary with a $3,000 bond posted by Dempsey Eure, William Council, and Benjamin Whitfield. Sam's obituary said “Samuel Cherry of Edgecombe Co died in his seventy-sixth year on 2 October 1815.” Samuel's son Roderick was named as his executor. After Samuel died, Clary married Benjamin Whitfield in 1817, before August. Sam and Mary had nine children, and with Clary he had two-

1.    John Cherry, b 1760s

2.    Sarah Cherry, b c1768

3.    Nancy Cherry, b 1770

4.    Luke Cherry, b c1775

5.    William Cherry, b c1786

6.    Elizabeth Cherry, b 1778

7.    Roderick Cherry, b 11 Apr 1780

8.    Mary Cherry, b 1782

9.    Rebecca Cherry, b c1784

10.  Charles Cherry, b c1804

11.  Thomas Benjamin Cherry, b 19 Apr 1811

Samuel Moore and Mary Nixon were married in Perquimans Co on 5 December 1734; he made his will in Onslow Co on 11 October 1750 in which he named sons Thomas and Samuel Moore, and daughters Sarah, Aletha, and Mary Moore. When Samuel Moore made his will, his wife Mary and son Joshua were already dead. Executors were Obadiah Moore and Theophilus Williams. Clary first married Willie Brown, a son of Abner Brown. Clary and Benjamin Whitfield had no children. He did have three children from his marriage with his first wife Susannah Wilkinson: Joel, Benjamin, and Arcena (per Will Daniel}. Captain John Hardee's wife was Susannah Tyson. Captain Hardee died 12 December 1784, aged 77 years, 8 months, 25 days. (57, 77,83,95,104, WS,WD,5hmp,7aeht)

       Samuel Maund Cherry [C1a7], son of John Cherry Jr and Rebecca Maund, was born about 1682 in Lower Norfolk Co VA. He married Frances Ballentine, daughter of George M Ballentine Jr and Frances Yates, about 1710. Samuel lived along the south branch of the Elizabeth River. He was on the tithable list in Norfolk Co on 10 June 1730, as was his brother Lemuel. Hence they were between the ages of 16 and 60. The 10 June 1734 tithable listing is the last one for Samuel, until June 1751 when his son Samuel was listed (the lists from 1737 through 1750 are missing). Since Samuel Jr wasn't named on any Norfolk Co tithable list until after 1736, he couldn't have been born before 1721, thus placing an approximate marriage date of about the 1710s.

       Samuel Maund left his will, dated 19 January 1733, and proven on 16 May 1734, in Norfolk Co (it is now at Portsmouth, VA). It was witnessed by George Ballentine and Solomon Cherry. Samuel left 200 acres to his wife, land along Indian Creek. He only named the eldest and youngest two children in his will. Youngest son Dunson received 80 acres on the north side of Deep Creek, and son Samuel Jr received 200 acres lying at the head of Indian Creek. Samuel did not name his wife in the will, but her father did in his 14 November 1733 will. Samuel signed his will with a mark “M” which would be a very poor letter M, or just a scribble of an illiterate person. Samuel's sons listed in his will (Sam Jr and Dunson), and others claimed to be children by Thigpen, were-

a.    Elizabeth Cherry, b c1710s

b.    Patience Cherry, b c1710s

c.    Frances Cherry, b 1710s?

d.    Samuel Cherry, b c1721

e.    Dunson Cherry, b 1721-1735

Frances Yates was a daughter of Richard Yates and his wife Joan. George Ballentine, called “Senr” in his 14 November 1733 will which was proven four days later in Norfolk Co, named his son George as the executor, his daughter “Frances Cherry” (received “one looking glass”), “son Sam'l Cherry” 200 acres of land, and named other children (George Ballentine, Mary Deale, Susan Bishop, and Dorothy Tucker) and grandchildren. It was not uncommon then to name a well beloved son-in-law as a son. George Ballentine Sr of Lower Norfolk Co left a will in 1703 naming his son George.

There was only one Samuel Cherry on the 10 June 1730 tithable, and for many years afterwards. Many printed versions of that tithable list show two Samuels in error; one was Lemuel Cherry, and one was Samuel Cherry. (57,69, 114,WD,28p)

       Samuel N Cherry [C1a9j9], son of Lemuel Cherry and Nancy Ann Moring, was born in 1796 in Pitt Co NC. He was living with his father in 1810 in Pitt Co. Samuel married Charlotte Coor of Wayne Co NC on 5 December 1822 at Waynesboro, Beaufort Co, but was not found in 1830 in NC. (57,77,WD,7aeh)

       Sara A Cherry [C1a9f4g1b], daughter of Charles Bernard Cherry and Mary Catherine Thomas, was born 20 May 1864 in Christian Co KY, probably at Hopkinsville. (77,121)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a1], daughter of John Cherry and Rebecca Maund, was born in Lower Norfolk Co VA about 1666. She married twice. Her first husband was Augustine Whiddon, whom she married about 1685. He left a will dated 13 September 1690 which was recorded 16 May 1693 in Norfolk Co. He named his wife Sarah -- “if my wife dies, I doe give the children unto my father John Cherry and to his wife.” It was witnessed by John Cherry Sr and Thomas Biggs. Afterwards Sarah married Thomas Willson about 1695. His will (book 6, page 243), was dated 18 February 1702, and proven on 15 May 1702. He named his wife Sarah, children, and “brother-in-law Thomas Cherry.” Sarah's known children were-

a.    John Whiddon, b c1686

       Sarah Cherry [C1a5a], daughter of Thomas Cherry and Sarah Willson, was born about 1705 in Norfolk Co VA. She was baptized in Norfolk Co, and was married to John Brown by 17 April 1748 when her father's will was written. Sarah was the third child named, and was called “daughter Sarah Brown, relict of John Brown,” so was widowed by April 1748. Sarah inherited 63 acres, land bought by her father from Marmaduke Etheridge. Sarah had no children with her husband John. (77,L,RM,28p)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a3b2], daughter of Spring Cherry and Lucy ____, was probably born in the 1740s in Norfolk Co VA. She was named in her father's 12 April 1761 will. (28p)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a5d5], 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 “Sarah Cherry” in her father's will, so was probably yet unmarried in 1754. See the biography of her sister Martha Cherry . (57,28p)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a3f3], daughter of Aaron Cherry and Mary Pierce of Bertie Co NC of the mid-18th Century, was probably born before 1750. Nothing else is known of her, or where she lived most of her life. (57)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a9k2], daughter of Samuel M Cherry and Mary Moore, was born about 1768 in Pitt Co NC. She was named in her father's 13 May 1813 will as “my daughter Sarah Mayo,” so was married by then. Sarah married Peter Mayo of Warren Co GA. (57,86,77,WD)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a6b2g], daughter of Jonathan Cherry, bricklayer of Martin Co NC, was born in the 1760s-1780s range in Martin Co. (1pz)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a9c1f], daughter of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Gainer, was born about 1776 in Martin Co NC. She married _____ Gainer, probably after 1800. The only Gainer family in Martin Co in 1800 was Polly Gainer and her son. The son was aged 16 to 25, so was born between 1775 and 1784. In 1810, after Sarah had married, the only Gainer family in the county was Arthur Gainer. Arthur, in 1810, lived next to Charles Mizzell, Ruth Kennedy (Ruth Cherry ?), and Sally Ward. Arthur was born between 1766 and 1785; his wife was the same age. Arthur, by 1810, had a daughter in her early teens, and a boy under age 10. Arthur was a son of Arthur Gainer and Elizabeth _____.

       Sarah Cherry [C1a9k1b], daughter of John Cherry and Nancy Manning of Pitt Co NC, was born about 1784 in Pitt Co. She married _____ Jones. (57,77, 7ae)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a7f3e], daughter of William Cherry and Susannah _____, was born about 1785 in Bertie Co NC (she was age 65 in the 1850 Bertie Co census). We know Sarah is a daughter of William because his will, dated 18 December 1802 in Bertie Co, and probated in February 1808, named wife Susannah, sons, and daughters. One named daughter was Sallie Dunning. Sarah married John Dunning on 1 September 1801 in Bertie Co; bond was provided by Samuel Dunning. John was born in 1775 and died in Bertie Co on 4 July 1858. Sarah died in the early 1850s in Bertie Co. They were living in Bertie Co in 1850, with two probable grandchildren: William Morris and Emiline Morris. Sarah and John had at least one child, and probably more-

1.    Willie Dunning, b c1805

2.    Lazarus Dunning, b 1807

3.    girl Dunning, may have married a Mr Morris about 1841, and died in the late 1840s. Two Morris children were living with Sarah and John Dunning in 1850 in Bertie Co. These children were-

       a.    William Morris, b 1842 in Bertie Co.

       b.    Emiline Morris, b 1844 in Bertie Co NC. (6n)

Living four doors from John Dunning and Sarah in 1850 was Peyton Dunning, age 52, and Peyton's young wife Penelope, age 28. Perhaps Peyton was a son of John Dunning from a possible first marriage. (77,105,6n)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a9p6], daughter of Willis W Cherry and Sarah _____ of Duplin Co NC, was born about 1785 (1776 per L) in Duplin Co. She was not married (no married name was used) when her father's will was written in October 1800, and was not living in her parents' home in 1800. Sarah did marry _____ Pacey, probably by 1800. (68,77,L,35maep)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a9f8], daughter of Charles Cherry and Winifred Mercer, was born between 1785 and 1790 in Beaufort Co NC. She probably was not married in 1805 when her father's will was written. She inherited 375 acres from her father, land joining Henry Cherry's line, and also inherited 100 acres in Martin Co, land her father bought from John Kennedy. (87,4ape)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a7d4d], daughter of Lemuel Cherry and Sarah McPherson, was born in 1794 in Edgecombe Co NC. She married Caleb Short.

2.    Lucinda Price, b c1820

3.    Elizabeth Price, b p1818, md _____ Crabtree. They had a daughter-*

       a.    Nettie Crabtree, b p1835, md _____ Spear and had a daughter-*

               1.    Pattie Spear (77) (77,L)

       Sarah Cherry [unknown], of Monroe Co GA left a will there (book B, page 102) dated 13 May 1851 in which she named children, grandchildren, and an uncle Jesse Cherry. Her son Austin Congleton was the executor. Since Sarah was a grandmother of three children by 1851, she must have been born by 1811, but probably sooner, making her at least 40 years old in 1851. Since there were known Cherrys of Edgecombe Co NC, and probably other Cherrys of neighboring counties in NC, who had settled in Monroe Co (see Lewis Knight Cherry ) and its neighboring Bibb Co in the early 19th Century, perhaps Sarah is also one of them. Sarah died by 1 November 1852. She had married a Mr Congleton, and the children she named in her will were-*

I.     Louisa C Congleton

II.   Austin Congleton

III.  Burton A Congleton

IV.  Arepsy Congleton, perhaps married Mr Springer.

V.   S C Congleton

VI.  Howard Congleton

One of the daughters married a Mr Singleton and had children, named in Sarah's will: William A, Amanda E, and Eliza Z Singleton. A Sarah Congleton married John Ashborn Howard in Monroe Co on 11 July 1844 (a daughter?, or was this Sarah Cherry?). (119,L)

       Sarah Cherry [unknown], was probably a daughter or granddaughter of Joshua Cherry or his brother Job Cherry Jr . Sarah Cherry married Daniel H McCoy in Caldwell Co KY on 4 December 1826. Joshua, and likely Job, both lived there in the mid-1810s (Caldwell Co deed book B, page 67), so Sarah could have been a descendant of either. Daniel was in the 1830 Caldwell Co census (pg 171), but not in 1840 nor in 1850. (109,JY)

       Sarah Cherry [C1a9i8], daughter of Solomon Cherry and Clara Council of Edgecombe Co NC, was born 13 December 1803 in NC, probably in Edgecombe Co. She was named in her father's 1808 will, and inherited 100 acres of land on the south side of Town Creek. Sarah married Edward Cobb on 7 June 1819 in Edgecombe Co. He was born in the 1790s. They lived in Edgecombe Co, where their children were born. In 1830 their neighbor next door was a Mary Cobb, born in the 1780s, and her six children. All of Mrs Cobb's children were in their teens or early twenties. If Edward was a son, he would have been Mary's eldest child. Other very close neighbors were Kinchen Cherry and Sarah's brother David Cherry.

       On 20 July 1839 in Edgecombe Co Bryan Barnes named Edward Cobb as the husband of Bryan's niece Mary Cobb (was Bryan a brother of Edward?). In the James Cobb graveyard, three miles northeast of St Lewis, Edgecombe Co (owned in the 1950s by Mrs Mollie Cherry) is the following grave: “Sallie, wife of Edward Cobb, was born on Dec. 13, 1803, and died on Aug. 15, 1880.” In the same small graveyard are other Cobb and Ward graves. Edward Cobb died in the Spring of 1836 in Edgecombe Co, and Amos W Cobb was the administrator of his estate. Sarah was living in Edgecombe Co in 1840 in district 17. She had two slaves and seven children in her household. In 1860 she lived close to many Atkinson and Walston families, with four of her children. Her seven children were-*

g.    Jonas E Cobb, b 1834 in Edgecombe Co NC. The 1860 census shows him as John G Cobb, born 1835, and living with his mother and sisters. (5kq)

There is a deed record in Edgecombe Co (Book 21, page 438), dated 2 November 1835 which says that Margaret Cherry was a granddaughter of Stephen Cobb of Pitt Co. Stephen B Cobb died about May 1849 in Edgecombe Co and Amos W Cobb was appointed to be the administrator. At the estate sale were the following buyers: Ephraim E Cobb, David M Cobb, Jonas G Cobb, Amos W Cobb, Leaston S Cobb, and Jonas Cobb Sr.

       Sarah Rhodes Cherry [C1a3f2a3], daughter of Aaron Cherry and Elizabeth Holmes Knight, was born 30 July 1802 in Edgecombe Co NC, or in Bertie Co. She married Frederick Jones Jr on 16 December 1819 (by February 1824, per Edgecombe Co deed book 18, page 125); in the summer of 1820 she wasn't in her parent's home. When her father's will was written in January 1835 in Edgecombe Co, “Sarah R Jones” was named as a daughter. And when her mother's will was written in March 1840, Sally was a “Jones.” Sally was the administrator for her mother's estate. In 1860 she was living in Edgecombe Co, a widow, and in her home was Amanda Jones, age 40, Caroline Jones, age 37, and Thomas Crisp, age 33.

       Seth Cherry [C1a7d5], son of William Cherry and Elizabeth Manning, was probably born about 1750 in Norfolk Co VA. He was named as a grandson, son of Mary Manning, in his grandfather Manning's will. Seth may be the extra male adult in brother Lemuel's household in Edgecombe Co in 1790. There was also an extra female; perhaps Seth's wife? No other records of Seth were found, but since his brother Lemuel soon moved to Jackson Co TN, perhaps Seth did also. (77,NW, 5a)

       Shelby R Cherry [C1a9c1g1i6], son of Eli Cherry Jr and Viannah Kendall Shelby, was born 31 January 1878 in Hardin Co TN. He married Florence E Newman on 11 December 1902, and in 1910 they were living with his father. Shelby died on 13 February 1911 and is buried in Cherry Chapel West Cemetery in Hardin Co.

       Sinderella Cherry [C1a6b2a2g], daughter of William W Cherry and Lydia Minerva McDaniel of Stewart Co TN, was born in 1811 in Stewart Co. She married Robert Jackson on 17 September 1853 in Stewart Co. He was born in 1793 in NC and died on 5 May 1875 in Stewart Co. Sinderella died on 12 February 1876 in Stewart Co. There was a Robert Jackson (age 30s) in Stewart Co in 1830 with his wife (age 30s), two girls and a boy under age 5, two girls age 5 to 10, and a boy age 10 to 15. And there was a Robert Jackson in Stewart Co in 1840, and in 1850, but none in 1860 through 1870. (128,77,102,HD,37jm)

       Smith Raymond G Cherry [C1a7d4c1e9], son of Harrison Wayne Cherry and Martha Adeline Hestand, was born 10 July 1891, and died on 7 December 1891. (77)

       Solomon Cherry [C1d], son of immigrant John Cherry and Elizabeth Faithful, was born about 1652 in Norfolk Co VA. Nothing else is known of him. (EG,57)

       Solomon Cherry [C1a9], son of John Cherry Jr and Rebecca Maund, was born about 1690 in Lower Norfolk Co VA. He died in Norfolk Co between 1736 and 1751 (two tithable listings). There is little or no evidence as to who his children were, but since most of the other grandchildren of immigrant John Cherry can be placed with the correct parent, those of the third generation not placed are assumed to be children of Solomon. Apparent children were-*

a.    Paul Cherry, b c1720

b.    Hillary Cherry, b c1724

c.    Joseph Cherry, b 1720s?

d.    John Cherry, b 1720s?

e.    Thomas Cherry, b 1720s?

f.     Solomon Cherry Jr, b 1720s?, was on the 1785 Norfolk Co census with six whites in his household. (WD) (69,77,90,WD)

       Solomon Cherry [C1a7f], son of William Cherry and Elizabeth _____ of Norfolk Co VA, was born in 1713 in Norfolk Co. He was named in his father's November 1736 will, and was shown in his father's home in the 1730 tithable list (he was age 16 or older then). Solomon bought 320 acres in Bertie Co NC on the south side of Cashy Swamp on 16 May 1743 from “Jonathan Stanley Jun, yeoman,” for £120 (book F, page 420). This would indicate that Solomon was born by about 1720. Solomon bought four acres from William Duffiel and wife Sarah, and Titus Edwards in Bertie Co on 6 June 1754 for £2. This was land on the south side of Cashiah Swamp, adjacent to Solomon's land and the Caleen Branch. Witnesses were Jonathan Standley and Thomas Wilson.

       Solomon married Sarah Eley on 20 July 1757. Because their son James was on a 1774 tax list, he was age 16 or older then. Sarah was born 8 April 1738 and died 13 February 1806. Since she was a full generation younger than Solomon, it would be likely that she was a second wife. Solomon was on the 1757 and 1760 tax lists of Bertie Co. He made his will in Bertie Co on 14 November 1773, and died there on 14 November 1777. He had five children named in his will, but apparently eight to ten in all-

1.    Mary Cherry, b 1730s

2.    Thomas Robert Cherry, b 1733

3.    Cader Cherry, b 1735

4.    children Cherry?

5.    James Cherry, b 1758

6.    William Cherry, b c1759

7.    Solomon Cherry Jr, b 1760

8.    Martha Cherry, b 1760s?

9.    Elizabeth Cherry, b 10 Apr 1776 (77,96,PA,NW,WD,6t)

       Solomon Cherry [C1a9i], son of Lemuel Cherry and Gatsey Ann Llewellyn, was born on 20 October 1736 in Beaufort Co NC, and was a twin of Lemuel. He was a carpenter in 1767 when he bought 200 acres in Pitt Co from Benjamin Wilkinson; a witness to this transaction was Samuel Cherry, no doubt Solomon's brother. Solomon and his family were listed in a Pitt Co tax list in 1775 (see note), as was Solomon's brother Lemuel (the only two Cherry families in the county in 1775). In it there were seven people in his household: two males between the ages of 16 and 50, two boys under the age of 16, one woman, and two girls. He had no slaves. Solomon was living in Captain Stancil's district, which was north and east of Martinsborough (the town's name was changed to Greenville in 1786). His nearby neighbors were Robert Williams, Levi Andrews (spelled Andrus), Thomas Whitlow, William Mayo, Jonathan Taylor, and John Taylor.

       In October 1782, along with his brother Lemuel, Solomon was granted two tracts of land in Pitt Co, one a 95 acre tract and the other a 100 acre tract (book G, pages 180 & 181). In Pitt Co in 1790 there were four males over ages 16, and four females in his household; he had five slaves. Solomon was still in Pitt Co in June 1795 and 1800. He married Sofia _____ (Staton?, per thigpen). Solomon died in November 1808 in Edgecombe Co; he made his will on 29 October 1808 in Edgecombe Co (Book D, page 340), and it was entered into probate court on 16 November 1808. Upon his death, Solomon's brother Samuel became the guardian of some of Solomon's children, and when Samuel died, Roderick Cherry took over the guardianship duties. In Solomon's will he named his wife Clara “Clary” Cherry. She was also named in her father's will. He was Charles Council, who had married Eurodica “Dicy” _____. Clara received 240 acres, slaves, livestock, and other supplies “unless she marry again.” In Samuel Cherry's (Solomon's brother) 13 May 1813 will, he stipulated “that all the cattle that come by Sollomon Cherry should go to the use of his three youngest children.” Solomon's will named ten children. Because Solomon was born in 1736, it is likely that some of his children were born in the 1760s, or in the late 1750s-

1.    Willis Cherry, b c1760s

2.    William Cherry, b c1760s

3.    Martha Cherry, b 1760s?

Clara Council's father Charles was born on 15 August 1737 in VA.

The 1775 Pitt County tax list was in effect a census. The people in each house should have been listed only if they were taxable; females, and males under the age of 16, were not. The person doing the tax list did more than was required. Over two centuries later, genealogists are grateful. (57,77,79,83,86,95,WD,4p,5p,6t,7zat, 37n)

       Solomon Cherry [C1a3f8], son of Aaron Cherry and Mary Pierce, was born about 1750. He married Mary Eason on 24 September 1779 in Bertie Co NC; David Outlaw provided the bond. Mary was a daughter of Jacob Eason, and was born before 1766 (1810 census). Solomon Cherry was listed on the 1774 Bertie Co tax list, as was Solomon Cherry Jr. Since Solomon, son of Aaron, was only about age 24 in 1774, he was likely the junior Solomon. The senior Solomon was probably cousin Solomon Cherry who had married Sarah Eley, lived in Bertie Co, and who died in 1777. (The older Solomon also had a young teenage boy at this time, named Solomon Jr, who was too young to be listed on the tax list in 1774.)

       Solomon, son of Aaron, was named as an administrator, along with George Outlaw, for the estate of David Outlaw in the summer of 1789. George and David Outlaw were landowners in Bertie Co in 1786, as was Solomon. Solomon was at one time or another sheriff, court clerk, and member of the General Assembly. He owned 14 slaves and had a moderate size family by 1790; in 1800 he had nine slaves. In 1790 and 1800 he and his brother Thomas lived in Bertie Co, and Solomon was still there in 1810. He was not found in NC in 1820, nor was his wife. His children were-

a.    boy (Eason?) Cherry, b 1780-1784. Eason was not the head of his household in 1810, so perhaps had not yet married. He was living in Edgecombe Co in 1820 and had three children by then-

       1.    boy Cherry, b 1811-1820

       2.    Margaret Cherry, b 1815 in Edgecombe or Bertie Co NC. She married John Walston on 12 March 1838 in Edgecombe Co. (Newspaper article: “Margaret Cherry, daughter of Eason Cherry, married on the Sunday before March 17, 1838.”) John was born in NC in 1813. In 1860 they were living in Edgecombe Co with eight children, plus a 28 year old Elizabeth Cherry. Elizabeth was still with John and his family in Edgecombe Co in 1870. Perhaps this Elizabeth was a younger sister of Margaret. The known children of Margaret and John were-*

David Outlaw died in Bertie Co on 27 May 1789. He was born about 1749 and married Martha Standley, daughter of Jonathan Standley, on 27 July 1773. George Outlaw provided the bond. David's widow Martha is shown in the 1790 census in Bertie Co. His heirs were his widow Martha, and: son Ralph Outlaw, born late in 1774, died in Bertie Co on 16 November 1836, married Elizabeth _____, who died 22 April 1819, and married Celia Mitchel in Bertie Co on 5 August 1808; Margaret “Peggy” Outlaw who married William H Green after 1793; Mary Outlaw who married John Askew by 1793; Martha Patsy Outlaw who was a minor in 1793 and who married John Holly by 1811; Ann Outlaw who was a minor in 1793 and who married George Askew by 1811; and David Outlaw who was a minor in 1793, and married Mary Powell in Bertie Co on 10 July 1805. The widow Martha died in 1794. (69, 57,79,93,105,L,JY,N,6aemt)

These two Solomon Cherry men and wives are so mixed up, I give up for now.

       Solomon Cherry Jr [C1a7f8], son of Solomon Cherry and Sarah Eley, was born about 1760 in Bertie Co NC. He was called Solomon Cherry Senr in the 1810 Bertie Co census, to differentiate himself from his nephew Solomon Cherry, son of William Cherry and Susannah. Solomon, son of Solomon and Sarah, married Mary Eason on 24 September 1779 in Bertie Co; David Outlaw provided the bond. Mary was a daughter of Jacob Eason. She was born about 1760 since she was age 50 when she died about 1810. Solomon also died about 1810. They had seven children-

A deposition given by Ralph Outlaw on 27 August 1830, and is now on record in the Raleigh, Bertie Co Archives under Estate Papers states: “... Mrs. Swain late widow of Solomon Cherry was aged 42 the 12th of June last; her father and mother each died aged about 50; her eldest sister Elizabeth lived to be 38 or 39; a brother James Cherry lived to be about 31 or 32; brother William Cherry to about 29; three sisters living, namely: wife of William Spivey (she aged about 44), my (Ralph Outlaw's) wife, aged about 36; and wife of Justin Askew, she aged about 31 or 32.” The Mrs Swain was Mary Cherry who had married her cousin Solomon Cherry, and after his death married Edward Swain. (77,NW,L)

       Solomon Cherry [C1a7f3c], son of William Cherry and Susannah _____ of Bertie Co NC, was born about 1781, probably in Bertie Co. He was called Solomon Cherry Jnr in the 1810 census, and had married his first cousin Mary Cherry about 1802. Mary was born 12 June 1788 in Bertie Co, daughter of Solomon Cherry Jr and Mary Eason. The Raleigh Register newspaper had an obituary on 8 May 1818 which stated that Solomon Cherry died on April 24, 1818 in Bertie Co. In 1810 Solomon owned seven slaves. Mary was the head of her own household in 1820 in Bertie Co, age 26 to 44. Since the widow Mary Cherry in Bertie Co in 1820 was born between 1785 and 1794, she was a full generation younger than the wife of the elder Solomon Cherry (son of Aaron) of the county, who had recently died. Furthermore, Mary Cherry's five children in 1820 were born between 1805 and 1820. This would put Mary's birth date at around 1785. Hence she was the widow of the younger adult Solomon Cherry of Bertie Co, son of William.

       Mary married after 1818 and before 27 August 1830 to Edward Swain (see deposition following the biography of Mary's parents). It would appear that Mary lived to at least 1833 because there was a teenage girl, Temperence Swain, living with Mary's and Solomon's son Joseph B Cherry in Bertie Co in 1850, and in 1880 was living with brother Solomon Cherry; Temperence was born about 1833. Mary and Solomon had six children, and she had a daughter with her husband Edward Swain

I.     girl Cherry, b 1801-1809 in Bertie Co NC, was not living with her widowed mother in 1820, so had perhaps married by then. (6hi)

II.   girl Cherry, b 1805-1809, must have been the sister of William W Cherry who married a Mr Holder and who had a daughter Mary Eliza Holder. Brother William W Cherry named niece Mary Eliza Holder in his 21 November 1840 will in Bertie Co. In 1850 there was a Mariah C Holder, age 18, living with Mary H Cherry (Mary H Etheridge, widow of William Walton Cherry) in Bertie Co. (Widow Mary and Mariah Holder were living with the Joseph H Etheridge family. He was born in 1813, so was likely Mary's brother.) (77,6hin)

III.  William Walton Cherry, b 1806 (6i)

IV.  boy (Thomas?) Cherry, b 1811-1818. There was an unidentified single man, Thomas Cherry, living in Bertie Co in 1840, midway between Joseph B Cherry and William W Cherry . According to the census, Thomas was born between 1801 and 1810. (6ik)

V.   Joseph Blount Cherry, b 1816 (6i)

VI.  Solomon Cherry, b 1813 (1820 census says male Cherry, born 1811-1820) (see following Solomon). There was a Solomon Cherry (and Joseph B Cherry, his brother) who testified in the probate hearings of William Walton Cherry in 1845 soon after William's death. Since Solomon, father of William W, had died in 1818, then the Solomon of the probate hearings in 1845 was probably the brother of William Walton Cherry. Futhermore, in Bertie Co in 1880 Solomon Cherry, age 67 (born in 1813), was the head of his household. In his home was Temperence Swain; she was shown as Solomon's sister. In 1860 in Bertie Co Temperence was listed (as Temperence Swain) in Joseph Blount Cherry's home, and in 1850 she was also in Joseph's home (as Temperence Swain, age 17). Temperence was a half-sister of Solomon and over the years she had lived in either Joseph Blount Cherry's home, or in Solomon's, after their mother died. In 1880 Temperence was shown as Solomon's sister. Solomon must have married because in 1880 a daughter and her two children were living with him-*

       A.   Jane Cherry, b 1845 in NC, md a Mr Askew about 1870, and in 1880 she was shown as the daughter of Solomon in Solomon's home, but without her husband. Jane had two children-*

               2.    Aaron O Cherry, b 1877 in NC. (6s) (JY,6ips)

VII. Temperence Swain, b 1833 in Bertie Co NC (daughter of Mary Cherry and her second husband Edward Swain). In 1850 she was (age 17) living in her half brother Joseph Blount Cherry's home; in 1860 she was still in Joseph's home (age 20 or 28?); in 1880 (at age 43, still not married) was living with Solomon Cherry, and was shown as his sister. (93,6hinqs) Find her 1870 Bertie Co.

In Bertie Co in 1810 there were four Cherry families: Elizabeth (pg 181); Solomon Jnr (pg 169); Solomon Senr (pg 159); and Susanah, Solomon Jnr's mother (pg 178). In 1820 there were seven Cherry families: Mary, with one girl and four boys; Elizabeth (pg 377); Aaron (pg 368); Rachael (pg 367); William W (pg 362); James Cherry Jr; and James Cherry (pg 376). In 1830 there were five Cherry families: Elizabeth (pg 377); James (pg376); Aaron (pg 368); Rachael (pg 367); and William W (pg 362). In 1840 there were ten Cherry families in Bertie Co: Aaron (pg 111); Ebert (pg 128); Elevie (pg 128); Elizabeth (pg 107); Joseph B (pg 108); Solomon (pg 121); Theophilus (pg 107); Thomas (pg 108); William W (pg 108); and William J (pg 107). (93,6hipkn)

       Solomon Cherry [C1a7f3c6], son of Solomon Cherry and Mary Cherry, was born in 1813 in NC. He lived in Bertie Co NC in 1840 (with no nearby Cherry families), and lived in Edgecombe Co in 1850, next to Nancy Cherry and Frances Cherry (both were widows?), and was without a wife or children. In 1850 neighbors Nancy Cherry and Frances Cherry were born in 1795 and 1815. Solomon had married someone about his own age about 1835 and had three sons by 1840. In 1860 Solomon (as Sol Cherry) was still in Edgecombe Co, but was now with Fanny _____. She was born in NC in 1816 (Sol was born in NC in 1810, per 1860 census). There was a young man, Spencer Cherry, living with them in 1860. Since Spencer was born in 1833, he would have been a teenager in 1850, but in 1850 Spencer was not living with Solomon; instead he was living next door to Solomon, with Mrs Frances Cherry (born in 1815) (perhaps the widow of a brother of Solomon?). Therefore, Spencer may have been a son of Fanny, and perhaps Fanny was a widow of another Mr Cherry before she married Solomon (widow of Thomas Cherry?, perhaps Solomon's brother?). Spencer was also shown living with the Mrs Lyara Shelton family in Edgecombe Co in 1850. Mrs Shelton was born in NC in 1790, and was apparently a widow. Solomon was living in Bertie Co in 1880 without a wife, but with one child, two grandchildren, and his young half-sister Temperence Swain. This helps to identify Solomon. In 1860, Temperence Swain (age 20 or 28?) was living in the Joseph B Cherry household; in 1880 she was living with Solomon, identified as his sister. His children were-*

I.     boy Cherry, b 1836-1840 (6k)

II.   boy Cherry, b 1836-1840 (6k)

III.  boy Cherry, b 1836-1840 (6k)

IV.  Jane Cherry, b 1845 (6s)

Living with Solomon in 1840 was a woman in her 40s (an older sister? or mother of his wife?) and another woman of the same age as Solomon's wife. (5nq,6ks) Find Solomon in 1870!

       Solomon Thaddeus Cherry [C1a3f6e8], son of Theophilus Cherry and Julia Grimes, was born 22 August 1837 in Edgecombe Co NC. He married Margaret Killebrew there on 12 December 1860; bond was posted by Thomas W Hussey, and the Justice of the Peace was Kenneth Thigpen. Margaret was born on 12 October 1840. Solomon apparently was known by his middle name as an adult; his grave in the Killebrew-Jenkins-Cherry family graveyard has his name as “S Thaddeus Cherry.” (See Sidney F Cherry.) He died on 10 October 1905. Margaret is buried with him, but her stone's death date cannot be read. They had three children-

       Spica Cherry [C1a7f3a2], daughter of Levi Cherry and Sarah _____ of Edgecombe Co NC, was born about 1779 in Edgecombe Co. She married Elijah Pippen between 1795 and 1800; in 1810 they were living in Edgecombe Co close to Obadiah Cherry, who was probably Spica's uncle. A Spicy Pippen (Spica's daughter?/widow Spica Cherry?) married James Mayo in Edgecombe Co on 10 November 1842. She left a will dated 2 November 1849 in Edgecombe Co which named granddaughters Martha Pippen and Mary S Pippen. Elijah was born about the same time as Spica. In 1820 they were still in Edgecombe Co. He died late in 1827, leaving his widow Spica, and probably children. Some of the buyers at Elijah's estate sale in February had familiar Cherry given names. Spicy remained in Edgecombe Co, and in 1840 was living in district 11, as were most of the other Cherry families.

       Spring Cherry [C1a3b], son of John Cherry III and Sarah Spring, was born about 1705 in Norfolk Co VA. He was given his father's 50 acre plantation, part of the old plantation, and 105 acres of swamp land in his father's 1754 will. Also, he was given furniture, household items, and “all my Coopers Tools,” thus indicating that his father was a barrel maker. Spring was, by far, given the largest share of the inheritance. He married Lucy ____, and left a will dated 12 April 1761 which was probated in Norfolk Co VA in September 1761 (book 1, page 69). His will named his wife as executor, and children.

       Susannah Cherry [C1a9i6], daughter of Solomon Cherry and Sofia _____ (Staton?) of Pitt and Edgecombe Counties NC, was probably born in the 1770s. She was not married by October 1808 when her father's will was written, and was one of the last-named children named in her father's will. Susannah inherited 10 shillings. (57,WD,5p)

       Susannah Cherry [C1a7d4b7], probably a daughter of John Cherry and perhaps Nancy Odle, was born in Jackson Co TN in 1822. She married _____ Burvant. In 1850 she was living with her father using her married name, and had a son-*

a.    Richard Burvant, b Apr 1850 (26n)

       Swain Ward Cherry [C1a9c1g1e], son of Eli Cherry and Cynthia Ward, was born 13 January 1829 in Hardin Co TN, and died on 17 July 1831. He was buried in Neil Cemetery in Hardin Co. His gravestone says “Son Of E & C Cherry.” (92,MC,9c)

       Sylvia C Cherry [C1a7d4e1d9], daughter of General Cherry and Almerry M Whitaker, was born 18 March 1897. (77)

       Talitha Cherry [C1a9c1m], daughter of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Gainer, was born about 1789 in Martin Co NC. She married Strayhorn Monk about 1808, either in Bertie Co or in Martin Co. He was born in Bertie Co NC in 1787, son of Nottingham Monk Jr and Rachel Strayhorn. Strayhorn grew up in Bertie Co, but was living in Martin Co by 1810. He was still in NC in 1815, but had moved to Hardin Co TN by 8 January 1822; he was one of several local residents appointed by the court to lay off a road from Horse Creek to the Wayne Co line on that date. And in 1833 he was found in Hardin Co TN on the 1833 state census (the only adult Monk in the census), and in 1840 and in 1850 they lived in Hardin Co where he was a farmer. Talitha and Strayhorn both died soon after 1850, probably in Hardin Co, and apparently the younger children moved to Jefferson Co AR soon afterwards to be with older siblings who had already settled in AR. The children were-

1.    Nancy K Monk, b 1809

2.    Minerva Monk, b c1811

3.    boy (Daniel?) Monk, b c1813 (77)

4.    Wily Buck Monk, b 24 Feb 1818

       Tabitha Cherry [C1a9i9], daughter of Solomon Cherry and Clara Council of Edgecombe Co NC, was born about 1804. She was named in her father's 29 October 1808 will inheriting two Negroes. Tabitha married John Barrow by 12 December 1820. He had died by May 1837 since Benjamin Sharpe was mentioned in the May court records of Edgecombe Co as the “guardian to James Barrow, orphan of John Barrow, decd.” Tabitha died by 3 February 1852 in Edgecombe Co (Deed book 17, page 271). She and John had a son-*

a.    James Barrow, b a1833, probably in Edgecombe Co. Tabitha's brother David Cherry left a 29 January 1833 will in Edgecombe Co which left $400 to James Barrow, son of John Barrow. Therefore, James was born by 1832. James married his second cousin Celia Cherry in Edgecombe Co on 10 May 1844. Bond was provided by William Cobb. She was born in the early 1810s in Edgecombe Co, daughter of Kinchen Cherry and Polly Holloman. See Sarah Cherry, Tabitha's sister. In Sarah's household in Edgecombe Co in 1860 was John Barrow, age 13, and James Barrow, age 7. If these two boys were sons of James Barrow, then James was probably born in the late 1820s. (57, 82,83,77,WD,5pyq)

       Tabitha Cornelia Cherry [C1a9k11e], daughter of Thomas Benjamin Cherry and Emily L Bell, was born 15 April 1838 in Edgecombe Co NC. She died there 6 May 1839. (WD)

       Tamer Cherry [C1a5d6], daughter of Jeremiah Cherry and Mary Ferbee, was born about 1752 in Norfolk Co VA. She was the last named child in her father's 1754 will, and received bedroom furniture from it. She was called “Tamer Cherry” in her father's will, so was probably not yet married. See the biography of her sister Martha Cherry . Tamer was baptized as a daughter of Jeremiah and Mary on 19 January 1752 in Norfolk Co, so perhaps she was born there soon before. Tamer married Samuel Cotter in Norfolk Co on or soon after 29 May 1772 (bond date); surety was provided by James Ballance. (57,77,28pm)

       Tamer Cherry [C1a7d4g], daughter of Lemuel Cherry and Sarah McPherson, was born in 1805 in Jackson Co TN. She married John Guest/Gass and they lived in Monroe Co KY, and later moved to IL. (77,26i)

       Temple Johnson Cherry [C1a9c1g2e2], son of Isham Barnett Cherry and Elizabeth Margaret L Johnson, was born 28 May 1858 in Titus Co, TX. He married Mary Clementine Newton in 1885 at Mt Pleasant, Titus Co. She was born in 1871 in TN. They probably lived at Daphne, TX in 1909 (their Savannah Courier newspaper was sent there in 1909). Mary died in Colorado City in Mitchell Co TX. Temple died in August 1945 in Colorado City, and was buried in Dorn Chapel Cemetery at Westbrook. They had eleven children-

       Teresa Ann Cherry [C1a7d4c1f2f1], daughter of Sid Allen Cherry and Mamie Elaine King, was probably born in the 1950s. She married Gerald Jay Coone on 10 September 1982. (77)

       Thelma Ruth Bryan Cherry [C1a9c1n6c1b], daughter of George Erastus Cherry III and Thelma Ruth Bryan, was born 12 July 1924 at Goldsboro, NC. She married Edward Frederick Switzer of Chicago, IL on 25 March 1945. They had a daughter-

1.    Diana Leigh Switzer, b 27 Aug 1957 (57,88)

       Theophilus Cherry [C1a3f1], son of Aaron Cherry and Mary Pierce of Bertie Co NC of the mid-18th Century, was probably born in the late 1730s in Norfolk Co VA. He apparently did not settle in NC as his father did. Theophilus married and left a will in Norfolk Co on 23 April 1804, which was proven on 16 July 1805. In his will he is described as “of Norfolk Co.” The executors were his son John Cherry, and John Pollick; witnesses were Thomas Allger, Amanias Davis, and Jesse Cherry. Jesse could not sign his name, but Theophilus could. Theophilus was shown in the 1785 Federal census of Lower Norfolk Co, and his family had seven persons; Theophilus named eight children in his will-

a.    John Cherry, b 1750s?

b.    Theophilus Cherry Jr, b 1750s?

c.    Malachi Cherry, b 1760s?

d.    Lovey Cherry, b 1760s?

e.    Mary Cherry, b 1760s?

f.     Maxey Cherry, b 1760s

g.    girl Cherry, b 1760s, married William Baker and both died by April 1804. They were living next door to her father in 1785 in Lower Norfolk Co VA, with five people in their household. She and William had two children mentioned in her father's will-

       1.    Sally Baker

       2.    James William Baker

h.    Suckey Cherry, b c1770 (69,L,28apm)

       Theophilus Cherry Jr [C1a3f1b], son of Theophilus Cherry of Norfolk Co VA, was perhaps born in the 1750s in Norfolk Co. He inherited the house and plantation where his brother John was living in 1804. There was only one Theophilus Cherry in the Norfolk Co census in 1785, so Junior must have been living with his father or brother then. (28pa)

       Theophilus Cherry [C1a3f6e], son of Robert Cherry and Mary Worsley, was born 25 January 1800 in Edgecombe Co NC, and was named after his uncle in Norfolk Co VA. Nephew Theophilus married Julia Grimes on 4 February 1821 in Edgecombe Co. She was born 16 February 1803 in NC, daughter of William Grimes and Talitha Mayo. Theophilus and his family lived in Edgecombe Co. He died on 12 December 1839 in Edgecombe Co, and Julia on 8 September 1868. They were buried in their family graveyard at home, four miles from the town of Speed. In 1840 Julia lived in district 11 in Edgecombe Co and had 20 slaves, and in 1850 was living with five of her children. In 1860 she lived with son her son Erastus and his family. Julia and Theophilus had eight children, all born in Edgecombe Co-

William Grimes was born 3 January 1769; his wife Talitha Mayo, daughter of Nathan Mayo and Julia Williams, was born 28 March 1770. William and Talitha married on 19 March 1795 and had seven children: Lydia Grimes, born 2 June 1796, married Mr Jones and probably died by 1851; Sally Grimes, born 14 October 1798; Betsy Ann Grimes, born 28 May 1801; Julia Grimes, married Theophilus Cherry; Thomas Grimes (twin), born 28 March 1805; Polly Grimes (twin), born 28 March 1805, married Mr Moore; and Talitha Grimes, born 1 October 1808, married Mr Lanair. William Grimes died in Edgecombe Co in October or November 1850. (57,64,82,83,84,77, 5aehjknq)

       Theophilus Cherry [C1a3f9f], son of Thomas Cherry and Rachel Outlaw, was born late in 1800 or early in 1801 in Bertie Co NC. He was named in his father's will. There was an announcement in the (Edgecombe Co) Tarboro Press on 4 April 1840 of a Masonic funeral service to be conducted on April 19 for a Theophilus Cherry. Since there was still a 69 year old Theophilus Cherry living in Snake Bite Township, Bertie Co, in 1870, the Tarboro Press article must have been about Theophilus Cherry of Edgecombe Co, who died in December 1839. Theophilus of Bertie Co was a farmer, and was single in 1840 and in 1850; in 1850 he was living next door his brother James Cherry and Joseph B Cherry (sons of Solomon Cherry and Mary Cherry); there was an eleven year old James Holder living with Theophilus in Bertie Co in 1850. On 17 March 1865 in Bertie Co he married Kida Elizabeth Outlaw, and was still living in Bertie Co in 1870. They had four children-*

1.    Jennie Cherry, b Bertie Co NC. She married James Cobb, a Bertie Co native. (77)

2.    Annie Cherry, b Bertie Co NC. She married Junius Bridges of Bertie Co. (77)

3.    Mary Cherry, b Bertie Co NC, married J H Nowell of Bertie Co. (77)

4.    Lizzie Cherry, b Bertie Co NC, married William Pritchard of Bertie Co. (77) (77,57,84,L, 6knm)

       Theophilus S Cherry [C1a3f6e6a], son of Erastus Cherry and Mary Della Savage, was born in January 1860 in Edgecombe Co NC. He was not living with his parents in 1870 when he would have been 10 years old, so had perhaps died in the 1860s. (77,5r)

       Theron Thadus Theodore Cherry [C1a9k7h6], son of Marcus Cicero Stephen Cherry and Arcena Virginia Best, was born in 1863 in Pitt Co NC. He married Carrie Whitehead and had children. (57, 88,L,1q,7s)

       Thomas Cherry [C1a4], son of John Cherry Jr and Rebecca Maund, was born about 1675 in Lower Norfolk Co VA. On 22 March 1703 (old date) Marmaduke Etheridge and wife Barbary deeded to Thomas Cherry 175 acres in Norfolk Co (book 7, page 35). Thomas was listed in the 1704 Virginia Quit Rents with 100 acres. In April 1704 (or 1705?) Thomas patented 45 acres; Lemuel Newton was the surveyor. And he received a land patent on 2 May 1706 for 45 acres on the northwest side of Deep Creek “which is part of a 350 acre grant of 20 April 1682 to John Cherry which was deserted.” There are a few deed records in Norfolk Co between Thomas Leake (also spelled Lake), Leake's wife Elizabeth, and Elizabeth's mother Mary Maund as one party, and Thomas Cherry as the other party. Thomas Cherry bought 75 acres from the Leake (Lake) family for £0/15 on 16 May 1722. This was land on the Southern Branch of Elizabeth River, next to land belonging to John Widom, Timothy Ines, and Richard Yates & Richard's daughter Mary Yates (Mrs Mary Maund). This transaction was witnessed by Robert Canaday, “Faith Cherry” (Faithfull Cherry, brother of Thomas), and Joseph Cherry (probably another brother, or perhaps an uncle). The three Leake members could not sign, but instead made their marks; the witnesses apparently all signed. And again, on 18 May 1722, there was a similar land deal for another 75 acres, with the same parties; witness Faith Cherry this time signed his name as “Faithfull Cherry.” There were a few more similar land transactions within a short period of time.

       Thomas witnessed the 1718 will of William Blanch, witnessed the 1724 will of Giles Randolph, witnessed the 1733 will of Joseph Bacheller, and witnessed the 1743 will of Timothy Ives; Thomas Ferebee also witnessed this last will. Thomas was on the Norfolk Co tithable list of 20 September 1733; he lived along the West Branch of the Elizabeth River. His son Jeremiah was taxed in the household with him, as was Francis Lake and a negro Anthony. He was not on any tithable lists afterwards.

       Thomas left a will dated 17 April 1748 in Norfolk Co VA (book H, page 224) which was probated on 19 May 1748 in Norfolk Co. Therefore he died between mid-April and mid-May 1748. He gave tracts of land to his children in his will. Some of these tracts were bought from Marmaduke Etheridge Junr and Marmaduke Etheridge Senr. In his will Thomas named two sons, four daughters, and a granddaughter. He lived on the north side of Deep Creek in Lower Norfolk Co. Thomas married Sarah Willson. She was born about the same time as Thomas, and since she was not named in his will, she may have died before Thomas. They had seven children-

a.    Sarah Cherry, b 1705

b.    Jonas Cherry, b c1708

c.    Mary Cherry, b 1710

d.    Jeremiah Cherry, b c1712

e.    Martha Cherry, b 1715

f.     William Cherry, b c1720

g.    Faith Cherry, b c1725 (77,79:Vol14,WD,28p)

       Thomas Cherry [C1a5d1], son of Jeremiah Cherry and Mary Ferbee, was perhaps born in the 1730s in Norfolk Co VA. He received from his father's 1754 will the portion of the plantation on the side of the road on which his parents lived, plus swamp land. (NW, 28p)

       Thomas Cherry [C1a3f9], son of Aaron Cherry and Mary Pierce, was born about 1755 in Bertie Co NC. He married first to _____ Doctron by the 1780s, and married second to Rachel Outlaw in Bertie Co on 7 January 1794. Bond for the second marriage was provided by James Warren, his step-father. Rachel was a daughter of Edward Outlaw. Thomas and his family were living in Bertie Co in 1790 and in 1800, but not in 1810; since he was not the head of his own home in 1810, he and Rachel must have been living with a child. In 1790 Thomas there were three females in his home, and no boys. The 1800 census appears to be Thomas, but there were no young children. There were only two males, one born between 1775 and 1784, and the second between 1755 and 1774; the only female was of the same age as the younger man. In August 1809 Thomas provided the bond for the marriage between George Outlaw Jr and Mary Askew. Thomas could not sign his name, and made an “Χ” instead.

       Thomas' will, written on 28 September 1812 and probated in November 1812 in Bertie Co, named his wife Rachel, and children. Rachel received land Thomas bought from Shadrick Holder. It described this land as being next to John Williams, next to Thomas' land where Thomas then lived, and close to the Cashie Swamp and Aaron Holder's line. Son Aaron got the land on the south side of Cashie Swamp. Son Doctron received the remainder of the Shadrick Holder land not already given to Thomas' wife Rachel. In 1840 in son Doctron's home (shown as “Docton Cerry” in the census) was a much older woman, aged in her 70s (i.e., born in the 1760s), who was probably Rachael; there was no one else besides these two in Doctron's home, and there were no slaves. Thomas' children were-

a.    Milly Cherry, b 1780s

b.    girl Cherry, b 1780s, was not named in her father's will 1812, so had probably died without issue between 1790 and 1812. (57,6ae)

c.    child Cherry, b about 1795 in Bertie Co NC, probably died young.

d.    Aaron Cherry, b 1796

e.    James Cherry, b p1798

f.     Theophilus Cherry, b 1800

g.    Thomas Cherry Jr, b 1806

h.    Doctron Cherry, b a1808

Rachel Outlaw had: a brother James Outlaw, born about 1760; a sister Anna Outlaw who married Kinchen Tayloe in Bertie Co on 13 August 1795 (bond was by Thomas Cherry), and after Kitchen died by 1801 she married _____ Pruden; an uncle William Outlaw. (57, 68,77,79,105,L,6aehk)

       Thomas Cherry [C1a3f9g], son of Thomas Cherry and Rachel Outlaw, was born in Bertie Co NC in 1806. He was named in his father's 1812 will. Thomas married Jane Mitchell in Bertie Co on 8 October 1851; Jeremiah Bunch Jr provided the bond. Jane was born in NC in 1829. By 1860 they had two children-*

I.     James Cherry, b 1855 in Bertie Co NC. (6q)

II.   girl Cherry, b Mar 1860 in Bertie Co NC. (6nq)

Jeremiah Bunch Jr was a witness at the marriage of Aaron Cherry and Elizabeth Harmon in Bertie Co on 4 November 1852. (105,L,6nm)

       Thomas Cherry [unknown], was born in 1804 in TN (SC per 1870 census). In 1850 he was living in Gibson Co, and in Obion Co in 1860 and in 1870. Thomas married Amy Justice in Sumner Co TN on 29 August 1825; the bondsman was Mark Justice, her father. Amy's mother was Nelly _____. The 25 April 1832 will of Mark Justice (or Justin?), proven in November 1838 in Sumner Co (Book 2, page 241), named wife Nelly, grandson Addison Justice, son Francis, and daughters Sally Hail (Hall?), Amy Cherry, Rebecca Ray, and Susan Kirkham. Amy was born in 1801 in KY (KY per 13n, 1802 per 63q, 1808 in VA per 63s). Sumner Co is just south of KY in the north center of TN. They moved to west TN to Dyer Co by 1840, and by then had six children. In 1850 they were in Gibson Co, and in 1860 and 1870 they were in Obion Co (these last three counties are in the northwest corner of TN). Thomas died in the 1870s, and in 1880 Amy was living with her son-in-law James Johnson. The children of Thomas and Amy were-*

V.   Robert Cherry, b 1834 in Sumner Co or Dyer Co TN (age 17 in 1850, 25 in 1860, 36 in 1870, 50 in 1880). He married Caroline _____ about 1854. She was born in 1837. They had at least three children before she died. Then Robert md Edna Roberts in the 1860s or 1870s, probably after 1870. Edna was born in TN about 1833 of VA parents. Robert and his wives lived in Obion Co in 1860, Gibson Co in 1870, and back to Obion Co in 1880 near the town of Kenton where he was a farmer. He had ten children by 1880, all born in TN-*

Living near Robert Cherry in 1880 was the James Johnson family; James' mother-in-law Mrs Amy Cherry (age 72, born in VA of VA parents) lived with him and his wife Martha (born 1848 in TN of TN parents), and James's step-children Ella Roberts (age 14) and Ida Roberts (age 12). (KR,44K,13n,63s)

VI.  Nancy Cherry, b 1836 in Dyer Co TN. She probably grew up in Gibson Co or in Obion Co. A Miss Nannie Cherry md a William Hall in Obion Co on 8 May 1876. (44k,13n,63m)

One of Thomas' daughters married James Johnson about 1854 (or about 1864?), then died after two or three daughters, after 1866.

       Wiley Cherry [C1a9c1h], son of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Gainer, was born about 1780 in Martin Co NC. He married Nancy Seawell. His name is often written as Willie, and is the Willie/Wiley Cherry of early Wilson Co TN of the 1798 to 1806 period. NC Revolutionary War records show that in 1798 Walter Gibson and James Ray, both of Bertie Co, sold 274 and 640 acres to “Willie Cherry of TN.” Therefore Willie probably had already gone to Sumner Co (to the part which became Wilson Co in 1799), by 1798.

       From Williamson Co TN records in the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville: Wiley apparently bought a land grant in Wilson Co from the heirs of Revolutionary War soldier James Vance, who died about 1780. Vance was a private in the Continental Line and his heirs were granted 640 acres in Wilson Co TN on 7 December 1797 (NC Grant #5108). Wiley received this warrant from Silas Ballard in the name of the heirs of James Vance. Apparently under pressure of a lawsuit, Willie returned title of about half the land back to Ballard; Jesse Cherry and Daniel Cherry witnessed, and Silas “gives unto Larry Ballard and his heirs the within agreement.” Wiley's brother handled the lawsuit. On 15 June 1804 an obligation of $1,000 owed to Jacob Cassellman by “Willie Cherry of Wilson Co Tennessee” was recorded in Davidson Co. This was apparently concerning a land warrant (#951) first issued to William Price. Half of this was Willie's share of 320 acres, land lying on the east side of Stones River, and being the tract where Abraham Cassellman and Morris Shean were living in 1804. Sumner Co deed book 3, page 234 shows that “Willie Cherry of Wilson County Tennessee” sold 100 acres to Robert Heaton of Davidson Co for $200. This land was pert of a 1200 acre tract on the headwaters of Drake's Creek of Big Barron. A witness was Benjamin Sewell (Seawell?).

       In Willie Cherry's will (his name was spelled and signed “Wilie”), written on 16 February 1804 and recorded at Lebanon, TN on 12 May 1806, he named his “beloved wife Nancy Cherry,” and “four brothers Viz Isham Cherry, Eli Cherry, Daniel Cherry & Darling Cherry & Sarah Gaines four children James, Samuel, John and Jesse, Ann Kennedays five children.” The two women with children were Willie's sisters. Because of old, faded records, the family name of Willie's sister Sarah can be read as Gaines or as Gainer. Brother Daniel Cherry received 500 acres in Wilson Co from Wiley. He also appointed his wife Nancy, “brother Daniel and my brother in law John Brown and brother Isham Cherry” as the executors. Wiley died in April or May 1806 and Nancy followed him in 1807, in Wilson Co. They had no children. So from this will most of a family has been put together. At the same time, this should put away the erroneous beliefs that Willie was a Revolutionary War soldier. He was born at the end of the war. Instead, Willie's only connection with that war was that he bought up land granted to Revolutionary soldiers. Perhaps his two brothers back in Martin Co alerted Wiley when a Revolutionary War soldier, or his heirs, received title to TN land, but did not want to move to TN. There are numerous land purchases pertaining to Wiley in Wilson Co as an assignee of someone in Martin Co. (125,69,75,90,WD,1z, 16z,25z)

       Wiley Cherry [C1a7d4h], son of Lemuel Cherry and Sarah McPherson, was born in 1807 in Jackson Co TN. He was not shown in his parents' household in 1820, but Wiley's uncle Wilson Cherry (William in the census) in 1820 had a boy age 10 to 14 living in Wilson's home. This was likely Wiley. He married Ruth _____ before 1847 (about 1835?) and they had three children. Wiley again is found in the 1860 and 1870 Jackson Co censuses, now married to Catherine _____. She was born in 1818 in TN. He had four children by 1860, and five by 1870- *

       Wiley “Willie” Cherry [C1a9h4], son of Cader Cherry and perhaps Judith Burnett, was probably born in 1774 in Pitt Co NC. He lived in Edgecombe Co in 1800 through 1820, and his birth date was about 1774; his wife was a little younger, born between 1775 and 1784. In 1810 Willie was living between Levi Cherry and Obadiah Cherry (he was called Willie Cherry Sr then); there was another Willie Cherry living in Edgecombe Co in 1810, next to Robert Cherry. Both Willies were about the same age. The younger Willie was only found in 1810 and had four young children. Willie (Sr) was on the 1815 tax list in Edgecombe Co, and had no sons in his home over the age of 16 then. He died in Edgecombe Co in November or December 1820, and John Laurence Jr was the administrator of Willie's estate. At the time Willie died, he owed, or was owed to him, an account with Robert Hardy. Robert was Willie's step-father. A principal buyer was Polly Cherry; Theophilus Cherry also bought items at the estate sale. Willie's estate was settled in May 1825. In the 1820 census Willie had a wife and eight children-

a.    girl Cherry, b 1795-1800 (5eh)

b.    boy Cherry, b 1795-1800, was in his parents' home in 1810, but not in 1815, or else was born in 1800. (5ehi)

A Polly Cherry of Edgecombe Co died in February or March 1850. Buyers at her estate sale were Jesse B Cherry, John R Pitt, and Sally Cherry. (85,77,5ehit)

       Wiley P Cherry [C1a9c1k2], son of John Darling Cherry and Elizabeth Wynns, was born 7 February 1818 in Martin Co NC. We know he was a son of Darling because Darling had recorded in the Haywood Co TN courthouse the following power of attorney: “Know all men by these presents that I Darling Cherry of the County of Martin and State of North Carolina, do hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my son Wiley Cherry, of the County of Haywood and State of Tennessee, my true and lawful attorney in fact for me” ... (Book L, page 271).

       Wiley married Julia Etta Whitley, daughter of Jesse Whitley and Elizabeth Chance, about 1835 in NC, and moved to Haywood Co by 1840. They lived in Haywood Co in 1850. Julia was born 13 July 1815 in NC, and died in 1873 at Dancyville, Haywood Co TN; Wiley died on 24 November 1852 in Haywood Co. Julia was still in Haywood Co in 1860, but in 1870 there were no families with the Cherry name in Haywood Co. They had ten children-

a.    Ann Elizabeth Cherry, b 30 Sep 1836

b.    Andrew D Cherry, b 1839

c.    James K Polk Cherry, b 1841

d.    Sarah Amanda Cherry, b 12 Nov 1842

j.     Wiley P Cherry Jr, b 6 Dec 1852

In 1850 Joseph Terry was living with Wiley and Julia. He was born in 1829 in TN, and was probably a son from the family next door. (69,79,RM,29kn)

       Wiley P Cherry Jr [C1a9c1k3j], son of Wiley P Cherry and Julia Etta Whitley, was born 6 December 1852 in Haywood Co TN. He married M Burford in Haywood Co on 22 June 1875 and moved to TX when he was a young man. (79,29nmq)

       Willard R Cherry [C1a7d4c2c3i], son of John Mack Cherry and Mandy Baley Jones, was perhaps born in the 1920s. (77)

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

       William Cherry [C1a6], son of John Cherry Jr and Rebecca Maund, was born about 1680 in Lower Norfolk Co VA. He married Elizabeth _____ (Tart? daughter or sister of Eleazer Tart?). William received a land patent with Eleazer Tart on 5 September 1723 in Norfolk Co of 80 acres in Cyprus Swamp near the head of Western Branch. He was on a 10 June 1730 tithable list of Norfolk Co: on the Southern Branch was William Cherry Sr, and sons Solomon and Willis. William Sr left a will in Lower Norfolk Co dated 22 March 1735 (Book 1, page 22). It was proven on 20 May 1737, so William died in April or May that year. His will was witnessed by Solomon Cherry and Joseph Cherry, no doubt his brothers. William could not write. He named his wife and seven or eight children-

a.    Alice Cherry, b 1700s

b.    John Cherry, b c1705

c.    Willis Cherry, b 1708

d.    William Cherry 2895], b 1710

e.    Rebecca Elizabeth Cherry, b 1710

f.     Solomon Cherry, b c1713

g.    Eleazer Cherry, b 1715

h.    Caleb Cherry, b 1720

It is not known whether sons William and Willis are the same person. (WD,PA,28apm)

       William Cherry Jr [C1a7d], son of William Cherry and Elizabeth _____ of Norfolk Co VA, was born about 1710 in Norfolk Co. He married Elizabeth Manning, daughter of John Manning Jr and Ann Deal, and they probably had two sons. The will of John Manning Jr of the late 1750s in Norfolk Co VA named his daughter Elizabeth Cherry and two grandsons: "... gives to my grandson, Lemuel Cherry, the above mentioned Negro named Jack, and to my grandson, Seth, the above mentioned Negro named George ...". Perhaps grandfather John Manning only named two sons of Elizabeth because those were the only ones she had, and other sons of William Cherry were from a prior marriage. Also, tithable records list other children besides Seth and Lemuel. They were-

I.     William Cherry, b a1750

II.   Samuel Cherry, b a1750

III.  Reuben Cherry, b a1750

IV.  Lemuel Cherry, b 1750

V.   Seth Cherry, 1750s (77,NW,PA)

       William Cherry [C1a5f], son of Thomas Cherry and Sarah Willson, was born about 1720 in Norfolk Co VA, and was baptized in Norfolk Co. On 17 April 1748 he was named in his father's will. William inherited “the plantation where he now lives on being seventy five acres” plus the remaining half of the 125 acres given to his brother Jeremiah. Therefore William was probably an adult at the time of the will. He made his will in 1737, and died about 1748. He had a son-

1.    William Cherry, b 1740s? (77,L,RM,28p)

       William Cherry [C1a9e], son of Lemuel Cherry and Mary Courtney, was born about 1728 in Norfolk Co VA. He received 400 acres on Beaverdam from his father's July 1754 will, and a Negro named Sutton. William married Sarah Pearson, daughter of Moses Pearson and Sarah _____. Will may have died in Craven Co SC (per WD; but Craven Co SC was discontinued very early in the 18th Century, so this Craven Co must be in NC). Craven Co is on the southeast border of Pitt Co. A deed dated 11 November 1760 was recorded in Beaufort Co NC from William Cherry of Craven Co South? Carolina to John Cherry of Beaufort Co for 400 acres on the north side of Moye's Beaver Dam for £8, land originally patented to Lemuel Cherry on 20 April 1745. William purchased 200 acres on the Pee Dee River in Craven Co South(?) Carolina from Mary Charnock on 20 July 1764. This land was later sold to his brother-in-law Aaron Pearson on 18 April 1770. William owned land in Dobbs, Pitt, and Beaufort Counties, NC. He was a merchant and a planter.

       According to Source 77, William's also married Elizabeth Stewart, but Sarah was the mother of his seven children- *

I.     George Cherry, b early 1760s, md Susannah McTear, a widow, and died in 1798 in Marlboro district, SC. His children, from his will, were-

       a.    George Cherry Jr, b 1785-1794, probably in Pitt Co where he was living in 1810. Soon before 1810 he had married someone of about the same age, and they had a son-

NOTE: Craven Co SC must be in question, and instead must be another county along the Pee Dee River in SC. The Pee Dee flows south from NC at a point almost due south of Greensboro, in the western half of NC. The above Kinchen Cherry was a son of Levi, not Nathaniel.

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

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

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

       William Cherry [C1a7f7], son of Solomon Cherry and Sarah Eley, was born about 1759 in Bertie Co NC. He married Susannah _____ about 1778; she was born in 1758. He was named in Bertie Co's tax roster in 1774 and in 1781. William witnessed the marriage in Bertie Co between Jesse Collins and Sarah Keen on 18 May 1802. William left his will in Bertie Co dated 18 December 1802, and it was proven there in February 1803 (or 1808?). He named his wife Susannah _____, and sons and daughters. Susannah was still living in Bertie Co in 1810 (chk census pg 178). She made her will in Bertie Co on 5 March 1813 and died in April or May the following year. In this will she named her daughter Elizabeth Baker. The executors of William's estate were his son William, and his brother Solomon Cherry. William's children were-

a.    William Cherry Jr, b c1779

b.    Elizabeth Cherry, b c1780

c.    Solomon Cherry, b c1781

d.    Wiley Cherry, b c1783

e.    Sarah Cherry, b 1785

f.     Phoebe Cherry, b 1780s?

g.    Polly Cherry, b 1780s?

h.    Martha Cherry, b a1775? (57,77,NW,WD,DK, L,6mt) (Get William's will!)

       William Cherry [C1a7f9b], son of Cader Cherry and perhaps Judith Burnett, was probably born in the 1750s or 1760s in Beaufort Co or in Pitt Co NC. (57,86,WD,4p)

       William Cherry [C1a9i2], son of Solomon Cherry and Sofia _____ (Staton?) of Pitt and Edgecombe Counties NC, was probably born in the 1760s. He was named in his father's 1808 Edgecombe Co will, inheriting 10 shillings. William was probably not one of the two William Cherry men in Pitt Co in 1800. Both men were married with two young daughters, but the elder William also had a young son; all children were under age 10. The children of the two Williams in Pitt Co in 1800 do not match those of Willie Cherry of 1810 Edgecombe Co. The 2 May 1820 Edgecombe Co will of Robert Hardy (proven in August) named his daughter Polly Cherry and son-in-law Willie Cherry. Willie was an executor of Robert's estate. Perhaps the Willie mentioned in this will was William Cherry, son of Solomon. The 1810 census of Edgecombe Co has a Willie Cherry living two doors from Robert Cherry. Willie was born between 1766 and 1774; his wife was older, born before 1766. Willie's children from the 1810 census were-

a.    girl Cherry, b 1801-1810

b.    girl Cherry, b 1801-1810

c.    girl Cherry, b 1801-1810

d.    boy Cherry, b 1801-1810 (57,95,WD,7ae,5hp) Chk Pitt co 1840 pg 382.

       William Cherry [C1a9k5], son of Samuel M Cherry and Mary Moore, was born about 1786 in Pitt Co NC. He was named in his father's 13 May 1813 will as “my son William Cherry.” William married Delaney "Laney" _____, probably about 1808 from the ages of the children in the 1810 and 1820 census. He died by 1829, probably in Pitt Co where they lived. The 1810 census of Pitt Co had only one William Cherry (who was living next to Lamuel Cherry, George Cherry, and John Cherry). In 1810 he had one child, a son. His wife was born between 1785 and 1794. The 1820 census of Pitt Co also had only one William Cherry. He was born between 1776 and 1794, as was his wife. and had three boys and three girls under the age of 10, plus one son between 10 and 15. Therefore, the 1810 & 1820 William must have been the son of Samuel; the number of children, and their approximate ages, closely fits later census records, and agrees with other sources. On 21 November 1829 Lewis Smith gave to Laney Cherry, “now widow,” land and Negroes during her lifetime and afterwards the land and Negroes were to pass to her children (Pitt Co deed book CC, page 562). Therefore, William had died by November 1829, and Laney may have been Laney Smith. She called herself “Delany Cherry” in the 1830 Pitt Co census, and gave her age as in the 30s (born in the 1790s), and had four slaves. Hence she could have been the mother of all of William's children, if she was born in the early 1790s. The 1810 through 1840 census records indicate that she was. Lany was probably the woman who was in her 50s living with her son Samuel in 1840. On 17 April 1843 in Pitt Co she made a gift of deed to her children (Book KK, page 223), and in this deed she named her children. Lany was living with her daughter Luzina near Greenville in 1860, and was 70 years old, born in NC. Hence she was born in 1790. William had nine children (order probably incorrect)-

a.    Samuel Cherry, b c1809

b.    Margaret Ann Cherry, b 1812

c.    Luzina Irena Cherry, b 10 Dec 1813

d.    James P Cherry, b c1816

e.    Lemuel Cherry, b 1819

f.     Darling Cherry, b c1822

g.    Julia Cherry, b 1823

h.    Patience Cherry, b c1826

i.     Daniel Cherry, b c1827

In Delany's home in 1830 there was an extra young male, in his 20s, who was not on the previous two census records. He could have been a close relative who moved in after her husband's recent death, in order to help with the farm work. (57,WD,7ijknzq)

       William Cherry [C1a9p3], son of Willis W Cherry and Sarah _____ of Duplin Co NC, was born between 1776 and 1780 in Duplin Co. He was living in Duplin Co in 1810 and 1820 with his wife and their children. The next door neighbor in 1810 was Elijah Bizzell, with Will's brother Lemuel Cherry just four doors on the other side of William. Will's three children in 1810 were under the age of 10. In 1820 they were between the ages of 15 and infancy, with five of them under the age of ten. Therefore it would appear that since the two oldest girls were between 10 and 15 in 1820, Will's marriage date would have been about 1805. It was not in Duplin Co. He was not in Duplin Co in 1830. His children were-

a.    girl Cherry, b 1805-1810

b.    girl Cherry, b 1805-1810

c.    Bryan Cherry, b 1801-1810

d.    boy Cherry, b 1811-1820

       William Cherry [C1a9f7], son of Charles Cherry and Winifred Mercer, was born between 1785 and 1794 in Beaufort Co NC. He inherited his father's plantation in the 1805 will of his father. In 1810 he was recently married (or had three sisters living with him) to a woman of about his age. There were two teenage girls living with him in Beaufort Co in 1810. In 1820 these teens were gone, but William and his wife had two young daughters-

a.    girl Cherry, b 1811-1820

       William Cherry Jr [C1a7f3a], son of William Cherry and Susannah _____ of Bertie Co NC, was born about 1779 in Bertie Co. He married Peggy Baker there on 13 November 1801. Bond was posted by William, and a witness to the marriage was G(eorge?) Cherry. William was a graduate of the University of NC in the class of 1800. He was a trustee of the University from 1804 to 1809. “He had a brilliant career as an attorney until his untimely death hastened by intemperance, at the age of twenty seven.” (93,105,L,WD,N,6m)

       William Cherry [C1a6c2c2], son of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Mayo of Martin Co NC, was born in Martin Co, probably in the 1790s. He was named in his grandfather's 26 July 1815 will as a grandson. William was not named in his father's 24 July 1823 will, although his five youngest brothers and sisters were. So perhaps William may have already received his inheritance. (77,1aep)

        William Cherry [C1a8j6], son of Lemuel Cherry and Nancy Ann Moring, was born about 1792 in Pitt Co NC. He was married, living next to his brotherC George and father in Pitt Co in 1810. William had a son by 1810- *

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

        William Cherry [unknown], of Pitt Co NC, was born about 1808 in NC. He was a farmer in Parker's district in 1850. His wife was Talitha Parker and they were married about 1831. She was born in NC in 1811. In 1850 they lived eight doors from Rippon Ward and his wife Mary Ann Albritton; Mary was the widow of John Cherry (born in 1805) of Pitt Co. By 1860 they had moved to Beaufort Co, and settled among many of the Leggett families in Tranters Creek. William had nine children by 1860- *

        William Cherry [unknown], of Haywood Co TN, was divorced by his wife Allena _____ in Haywood Co on 25 February 1847. “He abandoned her 10 June 1844 and is now not a resident of Tennessee.” (Haywood Circuit Court Minutes). (125)

        William Cherry [C1a6e4e1], son of Jeremiah Cherry Jr and Mary Rebecca Cooper, was born 14 October 1820 at Columbia, TN. He died on 5 October 1821 and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery on the north edge of town. (His gravestone, according to the Tennessee Tombstone Inscriptions And Manuscripts book, says William was born in 1824, in error.) (Maybe Ed B Cherry at Columbia can go re-check this?) (53,61)

        William Cherry [C1a9c1b3f], son of John W Cherry and Elizabeth Boyer, was born between 1831 and 1835 in Howard or Linn Co MO. He may have died in the 1840s because he was not living with his widowed mother in 1850. (90,54n)

        William Cherry [C1a6c1b1c8], son of Willis Cherry and Emily L Perry, was born about 1851 in Beaufort Co NC, and died after 1910. (77,4q)

        William A Cherry [C1a6e6g], perhaps a son (or grandson?) of Abner Cherry of Martin Co NC, was born in 1806 (or 1808?) in Martin Co. By 1861 he was in Bibb Co GA. On January 21 that year he was named as an executor and trustee for the will of Arthur Stotesbury in Bibb Co (will book B, page 184). Stotesbury died by early summer in 1861. In the Stotesbury will, Job H (or N) Cherry was a witness. Because Abner Cherry had two unknown sons (born about 1806 and 1808), and because some of Abner's children had moved to Bibb Co and were of the only Cherry clan in the county before 1860, and because Abner also had a son Job S Cherry who did live in Bibb Co, William is here assumed to be one of the two unidentified sons of Abner.

        From information of Sandra Riner of Eidson, TN, this William was probably the William Cherry, born in NC in 1804, and who married Edna Perry Heard in Bibb Co on 25 October 1842. Edna was a daughter of James Heard and Nancy Foreman, both from Barnwell District SC. William died in GA on 2 June 1863. He and Edna had eight children, born in Hopuston Co GA- *

        William B Cherry, son of William Cherry [unknown], was born about 1762 (Source L says 1766) in Edgecombe Co NC. He married Lottie Hopkins of NC and they had eight children, then William married Frances Taylor in Edgecombe Co on 25 May 1805. Frances was a relative of William Taylor, and a daughter of Joseph Taylor and Sarah Best They had ten children from 1806 to 1828. Frances was born about 1784 in Edgecombe Co NC. In 1790 in Edgecombe Co there were two William Cherry families; neither had a son, and both had two females. Therefore it would be likely that there was only one William Cherry family, and the census taker made a duplicate entry, skipping the William who later moved to Warren Co KY. The 1800 Edgecombe Co census had no William Cherry entries, but Bertie Co had two: one as a Jr and one as a Sr. Neither had sons to match the ages of William, born in 1762. William Jr of Bertie Co in 1800 had two sons, as did William Sr; both sets of sons were between the ages of 16 and 24. In 1790 in Bertie Co there was but one William Cherry, and that one had three sons under the age of 16. William (of Edgecombe Co) was living in Warren Co in 1810; there were two William Cherry families in Warren Co then, but the William of Edgecombe Co was the elder of the two, and his wife's age fit the birth date of Frances. In William's house were a second male adult over the age of 45 (a father-in-law?) and near-adult children from his first marriage, plus younger children. William may have lived close to Big Barren River because on 20 November 1811 he (as “Wm B Cherry"), William Taylor, and Allen Taylor witnessed a 144 acre land sale from John Moss and his wife Drucilla to Joseph Taylor for £120. And on 23 August 1816 Reuben Hammett and his wife Rebecca sold 200 acres on the waters of Gasper River to William Cherry for $500. And on 12 March 1817 “William Cherry and wife Franky Cherry” sold 150 acres on the waters of Lost Creek of Green River to Reuben Hammett for $400. In this transaction Franky relinquished her dower. William's land was along William Allen's property line. William B Cherry died in Warren Co on 22 September 1828 and was buried at Richardsville (Chk 1820 Warren Co pg 29 for William). In 1820 he and Frances were not found in Warren Co, so may have been living with a child. In 1850 Frances was living with her son George in Warren Co. William had eighteen children

I.     Obadiah Cherry, b c1784 in Edgecombe Co NC. In 1810 he was the head of his home in district 11 of Edgecombe Co with a wife of about the same age, living close to Willie Cherry Sr. Obadiah was listed on the 1815 Edgecombe Co tax list (one free pole in district 11), but was not found in Edgecombe Co in 1820 or 1830. He had three children by 1810- *

II.    Tommie Frances “Fanny” Cherry, b 1785 (source L says 1788) in Edgecombe Co NC. She married Enoch Floyd (or Flood?). He was born about 1781 (source L says 1786). Since there was another sister named Frances, born in 1810, the Frances who married Enoch must have died soon before. Marriage records of Edgecombe Co show that Obadiah Cherry was the bondsman for his sister Fanny Cherry when Fanny married Enoch Flood on 19 June 1801. Since Fanny married in 1801, she must have been born by about 1785. An Enoch Flood lived in Nash Co in 1800; there were two young girls under age 10 in his home, two young women or girls in their late teens, and an older woman over age 45. Enoch was also over age 45. This would put his birth date in 1755 or before, so may not be the right Enoch Flood. In 1800 he was the only Enoch Flood in NC, and in 1810 there was none. But in Warren Co KY in 1840 there was an Enoch Floyd family. The wife was born between 1781 and 1790, as was Enoch. They had a large family, some probably being nieces or grandchildren. Possible children of Frances and Enoch Floyd were- *

Mary Ann was born in Edgecombe Co in 1791, daughter of Joseph Taylor and Sarah Best, and died in Warren Co on 31 August 1852. She and Samuel were buried at Richardsville.

He was born 13 December 1789 in Edgecombe Co, son of Joseph Taylor and Sara Best, and came to Warren Co about 1800 when he was a boy. (See Samuel Cherry, Levina's brother; he married a sister of Allen.) Allen and his family lived next door to his widowed mother-in-law in 1820. He was not the head of his home in 1870, so must have been living with a child. He died on 13 September 1879 at Richardsville and was buried there; Levina died on 17 November 1878 in Warren Co (she was not found with Allen in the 1860 census).

Henry md Louisa Anna Renfroe on 5 October 1844 in nearby Butler Co. She was born in 1828 in KY. In 1860 his wife was Nancy _____, so Louisa must have died between 1854 and 1860.

From Deed Book 17, page 316 in Edgecombe Co NC, Eurodica Council made a gift to her grandchildren living in KY; the grandchildren were heirs of Eurodica's daughter Charlotte Cherry.
