The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 401

There was an advertisement in Pickens District, SC, on 24 June 1841 where a David Cherrywas searching for a surveyor to "lay out and admeasure a tract of land unto David Cherrynot exceeding ten thousand acres observing the Surveyor Generals instructions," etc. Thisadvertisement was again placed on 28 November 1841. Apparently David got his landsurveyed and he built a home on it by 18 April 1848. Court records then reported that aslave named Joseph belonging to David Cherry took a horse from David and rode off. Thehorse was injured, and it was found and returned to David at this time.

Jacob Herring Cherry [C1a8p4f4g], son of Lemuel Cherry and Jane Ellen Ezzell, wasborn in January 1880 in Duplin Co NC. He married Myrtle Waters at Glissons, Duplin Coon 8 March 1905, amd lived at Wolfscrape. She was born in NC in 1879, daughter of RobertWaters and Jane _____.

James Cherry Jr [C1a5c3a], son of James Cherry and Sarah _____ of Martin Co NC,was born about 1768 in Martin Co. He lived in Bertie Co in 1790. He was not found in NCin 1800. There was a James Cherry "of Martin County" who sold a Negro to RichardWilliams on 22 January 1808 (Book E, page 31). (5a,1pz)

James Cherry Jr [unknown], of Bertie Co NC, was in the War of 1812 (in 1814), in theDetached Militia, 1st Regiment. James was also in the 1820 Bertie Co census, aged between26 and 44. Therefore he was born between 1776 and 1794. In 1820 in his household therewere no females, but there were two young men between the ages of 16 and 25. There wasanother James Cherry (without a "Sr" or "Jr" title) in Bertie Co in 1820. This other Jameswas of the same age range, but was married with seven children. (105,6i)

James Cherry [C1a6f5], son of Solomon Cherry and Sarah Eley, was born in 1758,probably in Bertie Co NC. He was on a Bertie Co tax list in 1774 (all males named are atleast age 16); he was the only son of Solomon who was on that list.

This would place his birth date too soon to be a son of James (Sr), who was born in 1758.James (Sr) did have a daughter-a. Sarah Cherry, b 1780s? (57,77,NW,WD, 6tae)

James Cherry [C1a5b3], son of Faithful Cherry Jr and Susannah _____, was born priorto 1765 in Tyrrell Co NC, and likely by the late 1740s. He was not found in the 1785 statecensus of Martin Co, but his father's household had so many people in it that James, his wife,and two sons could easily have been four members in Faithful's home. James left a MartinCo will dated 24 May 1785 (Book 1, page 356) in which he named his wife Sarah, and gavehis "two sons John Cherry & James Cherry" what their mother left after her death. Mostwills in Martin Co of this period do not have the date in which the will was entered intocourt (i. e., the probate date), but they are recorded in roughly the sequential order in whichthey are presented to the courts. The prior will went to probate in September 1797, and thefew wills before that one were written in 1797 and 1798. Therefore, James's will was writtenabout a dozen years before he died. The will following James' will was written in March1800, and a few wills after that one the probate date was in April 1801. James must havedied sometime after September 1797 and by April 1801. Furthermore, since he was not inthe 1800 census, he probably died between 1797 and the summer of 1800 when the censuswas taken. James was named in his father's 9 February 1787 will as if James was still alive.

The only James Cherry households in these years were the James Cherry taxpayer inHertford Co (just north of Bertie Co) in 1779 and in 1784, and the James Cherry taxpayerin Bertie Co in 1774 (son of Solomon Cherry.) There were two James Cherrys in Bertie Coin 1790, and one in Hertford Co. The Hertford Co James Cherry house had one adult male,one boy, and two females. In Edgecombe Co in 1790 the James Cherry with two boys andthree females in his home was James, son of James. In Martin Co in 1790 the James Cherry(living near Jesse, Joel, Harrell, and Jonathan Cherry; i. e., in Williamston) had two adultmales (James and one of his sons) and one female in his household. Because of the earlycensus and tax records of the Williamston area in Martin Co, it appears that James's sonsbecame adults in the late 1780s, and by 1790 one had married and settled in Bertie Co(James Jr), while the other was still living at home. James had two sons-a. James Cherry Jr, b abt 1768b. John Cherry, b abt 1772 (91,77,1ape,6at,46t)

James Cherry [] died in 1804 after he wrote his will on 17 September 1804. Heappointed James Jones and William Jones "both of the county of Hertford" as his executors.Executor James Jones died in 1815. James Cherry's will was proven in court in Hertfort Coin February 1805. The estate was worth over £10,000. His daughter Elizabeth Cherryreceived Negros Rachael and Lewis and furniture. Daughter Mary Cherry received receivedNegros Ben, Mourning, Luke, and Willis, and furnitture. Both of these daughters marriedduring the estate's settlement. Daughter Nancy Cherry was to received Negros Flora andWright, but was still a minor. James Cherry's wife, in the meanwhile, married again. Part ofJames' will bequeethed all remaining Negroes to go to his three daughters if his wife shoulddie. The executors sold six Negroes to pay debts, including Negro Flora which Nancy wasto receive. The three daughters, moved to Bertie Co soon after their father's estate washanded out to the two eldest daughters. Daughter Nancy was a minor when the will waswritten. Because of many circumstances: Executor James Jones died, the heirs moved to

Bertie Co, Assets were handed out before the estate bills were paid, then a lawsuit wasbrought by the guardian on minor daughter Nancy Cherry to force the executors to give herwhat she should have recieved, and because witnesses in this lawsuit did not answer courtsummons to give an accounting of what transpired with the estate's executors, etc, Nancy'sinheritance was not yet settled by 1919-1. Elizabeth Cherry, b by 1790, married Enoch Carter after her father's will was written

in September 1804. (6y)2. Mary Cherry, b by 1790, married Edward Fleetwood Jr after her father's will was

written in September 1804, then died by 1813. (6y)3. Nancy Cherry, b abt 1802 (6y) (6y)

James Cherry [C1a2f9e], son of Thomas Cherry and Rachel Outlaw, was born in 1798in Bertie Co NC (1796 per 6kn), and was named in his father's will. James apparently diedby February 1854 because David Outlaw was the executor of James' estate in Bertie Co then.James did not appear to be married in 1850, but had probably married years earlier. In 1840he was living in Bertie Co without a wife, but apparently had a son-1. son Cherry, b 1821-1825 (57,C,6knm)

And in 1870 James was married again, this time to Mrs Isabella McCrary (nee Routen?)on 21 December 1865 in Linn Co. She was born in 1845 in IL. James' children were-1.

James Cherry [unknown], of Bertie Co NC, was in the 1820 and 1830 census. He wasborn in the 1790s, and his wife was a few years younger. Because of the ages of the childrenin 1820 and 1830, it would appear that James and his wife took care of younger brothers andsisters. They lived close to Mrs Elizabeth Spivey and Mrs Elizabeth Cherry. James had fourto six children-1. dau Cherry, b 1811-1820, may have been a younger sister who married in the 1820s.

(6i)2. dau Cherry, b 1811-1820, was not in the 1830 census, so was a younger sister who mar-

ried in the 1820s, or perhaps was an older child who died in the 1820s.

the 1840 census there were two James H Cherry families (Jr and Senr), and one James SCherry family, all close to each other. Hence, this was the reason that James Harvey usedthe Jr suffix with his name. James Harvey Cherry Jr married Sarah Nevins in Macoupin Coat Scottville on 23 December 1830, and in 1840 there was an older couple in their household(Sarah's parents?, or the James H Cherry of Overton Co TN who was born in the 1770s orbefore?). Sarah was born in Overton Co on 24 August 1812 (gravestone information),daughter of William Nevins and Elizabeth Sims. The children in James Jr's' household in the1840 Macoupin census perfectly match the ages of the elder four children from the 1850census, although the ages of James and his wife were slightly older than the 1850 censusages. James died on 20 July 1887 at Scottville, Macoupin Co. Sarah died at Palmyra,Macoupin Co on 9 July 1886. Both are buried in Panther Creek Cemetery at Scottville. By1860 James and Sarah had ten children, all born in Macoupin Co-1. Mary Angeline Cherry, b 13 Jan 18322. William Benjamin Cherry, b 2 Jan 18343. Leuary Margaret Cherry, b 28 Dec 18354.

James Harvey Cherry [C2d3], probably a son of Benjamin Cherry II and Mary Peter-son, was born by 1774. He was not found on any record until the 1820 census of Overton CoTN. In the home of James H Cherry in 1820 there was one male under age 10, one male age45 or older (James), and no females. Whether James H was actually a son of Benjamin II yetneeds to be proven. But Benjamin II’s son Peterson lived in Overton Co TN in 1820, andJames H was of about the same age and lived nearby. "Harvey Cherry," plus "Peter Cherry"(Peterson), "Benjamin Cherry" (Benjamin III), and a brother-in-law "James Russell" allbought 100 acres of land together in Overton Co on 18 April 1818 (Deed book D, page 354).So for now James H is also placed as a son of Benjamin II.

They lived in Macoupin Co ILin 1840 next to Peterson Cherry Jr (page 54). She was born in 1818 in Grayson Co KY, anddied 2 February 1852 in Macoupin Co. James died about 1847 and Lavina then marriedWilliam H Corder in Macoupin Co on 23 January 1849. He was born in KY in 1819. Theylived in Macoupin Co in 1850 and her Cherry children then used the Corder name. She andJames had four children-a. James Simpson Cherry, b 1839 at Girard, Macoupin Co IL. He was not in his father's

home in 1850, so may have died in the 1840s. (C,W,60k)b. Clarinda E Cherry, b 6 Nov 1840 in Macoupin Co, died after 2 June 1880 in IL. After

her parents died, she lived with her aunt Sarah R Cherry [C2d2d5] in McDonough Co.Clarinda married Thomas I Sorter in McDonough Co on 15 March 1863. He was bornin KY in 1838 and was a grocer in 1870 at Blandinsville, McDonough Co. In 1880 hemanufactured tobacco at Bushnell, McDonough Co. In 1920 he lived with his sister MrsEmma Welch at Bladinsville, and was a widower. Thomas died 13 April 1920 inMcDonough Co. They had a son-1. William Lester Sorter, b May 1870 at Blandinsville, McDonough Co. He married

Nancy M Robinson in McDonough Co on 8 July 1896 and they lived at Macomb,McDonough Co in 1900 to 1920. She was born in March 1869.

59rsuvw)Thomas Sorter first married Elleanor A Nelson in McDonough Co on 5 July 1858, butshe apparently died soon after. (60n,59mrsuv)

c. Elizabeth B Cherry, b 1843 at Girard, Macoupin Co IL. She was not in the 1850 censusin 1850, so may have died in the 1840s. Note: There were many researchers for theJames Harvey Cherry family, and most said that James and wife Delilah Bristow hada daughter named Elizabeth. But some researchers said Elizabeth was born in 1843,and others said 1824. It would be very unlikely that there were two daughters with thesame name, especially when the first born was still alive when the younger Elizabethwas born. Hence, i t is here assumed that the younger Elizabeth was actually agranddaughter. The only sons of James H and Delilah who were of age and had amarriage early enough to produce a daughter in 1843 was either eldest son James S,or second son Thomas C. And s ince Thomas C’s household in 1850 showed notdaughter named Elizabeth who was born around 1843, then this younger Elizabeth musthave been a daughter of James S Cherry, who died around 1847.

Jemima Cherry [C1a5e1], probably a daughter of Job Cherry (and Abiah Ventures?,or a first wife of Job Cherry?), was born circa 1756 in Tyrrell Co NC. There is no absoluteproof to show that Jemima was Job's daughter, but the circumstantial evidence for this beliefis substantial: 1) Jemima and her husband lived six doors from Job Cherry in 1787 in orclose to Williamston, NC; 2) her son was named after Job Cherry; 3) her grandson John JobWilliams was named after her father Job Cherry and her husband's father John Williams; 4)her name had Job Cherry's penchant for using given names starting with the letter "J;" 5) ofall the Cherry men in Martin Co, only Faithful Cherry, Jesse Cherry (son of Faithful), andJob Cherry (brother of Faithful) were of the right age to be her father. The children ofFaithful are well established through his will, and Jesse Cherry did not have the close tieswith Jemima that Job did; Job was the only one who wrote a poorly composed, vague will,obviously omitting names of his children; 6) family tradition had been handed down forgenerations that John Job Williams, son of Jemima's daughter Martha Biggs and an earlypioneer of Hardin Co, TN, came from Martin Co "with his cousins the Cherry family."

Jemima R Cherry [C2d2c8], daughter of James Harvey Cherry and Delilah Bristow,was born 6 March 1839 in Warren Co KY. She was the youngest daughter in her father'shousehold in 1840, so was probably born in Warren Co, although the 1850 census says shewas born at Girard, Macoupin Co IL. She married John C Harbor at Saint Louis, MO on 12October 1854. He was born in 1835, son of Thomas Harbor and Mary _____, and died 17August 1867 at Sadorus, Champaign Co IL (southeast corner of the county). Jemima died 29August 1866 in IL.

Therewas an older woman age 40s living with them, plus one boy under age 10 and a teenage male.The Thomas Cherry next door was age 30s, so was likely Jemima’s brother.

Jeremiah Cherry [C1a4d], son of Thomas Cherry and Sarah Willson, was born about1712 in Norfolk Co VA and was baptized there. In June 1730 Jeremiah was listed as a sonof Thomas on the tithable listing from Suggs Mills to Deep Creek. On 17 April 1748 Jere-miah was named in his father's will and received the lion's share of inheritance ("the plan-tation I now live on including one hundred acres of land," "the half of one hundred acres andtwenty five of land I bought of Marmaduke Etheridge Senr," and "a Negro Man namedAnthony," etc.). He married Mary Ferbee, daughter of James Ferbee of Albermarle Co.James Ferbee was born around 1675, and his daughter Mary was born about 1710, probablyin Albermarle Co. James Ferbee's 1753 will named his daughter Mary Cherry. Jeremiah lefta will dated 11 February 1754 in Norfolk Co (he signed with an "O"), and died in Novemberor December 1754; his estate was appraised on 14 January 1755 in Norfolk Co. Theappraisers were Robert Burges, James Ives, Edward Williams, and a Joseph Cherry (hisuncle?). In his will Jeremiah named his wife Mary and six children. None of his daughterswere married at the time his will was written, and the last daughter, Tamor, was baptized justtwo years before the will, indicating that she was a young child when the 1754 will waswritten. Wife Mary received a Negro man named Anthony from her husband's 1754 will(probably the slave Jeremiah inherited from his father), household items, and a horse anda handmill. Her estate was inventoried in 1798 in Norfolk Co, so she died by then, probablyin Norfolk Co. Jeremiah and Mary had a least six children, and perhaps a seventh born in1755-1. Thomas Cherry, b 1730s?2. Jeremiah Cherry Jr, b 1730s?3. Martha Cherry, b 1740s?4. Mary Cherry, b 1740s?5. Sarah Cherry, b 1740s?6. Tamer Cherry, b abt 17527. William Cherry, b abt 1755 (57,77,EC,RM,NW, C,28apm)

Jeremiah Cherry Jr [C1a5d2], son of Jeremiah Cherry and Mary Ferbee, was perhapsborn in the 1730s in Norfolk Co VA. He received from his father's 1754 will the portion ofthe plantation on the other side of the road on which his parents lived, plus swamp land.Jeremiah lived in Norfolk Co VA in 1785. He married Mary Owen in Norfolk Co on 9December 1782; bond was provided by William Owen. By 1785 he apparently had one childsince the household showed three people. Jeremiah was living two doors from ThomasCherry Senior on one side, and three doors form David Cherry on the other. (C,NW,28ap)

Jeremiah Cherry [C1a5e4], son of Job Cherry and Abiah Ventures, was born in TyrrellCo NC on 1 April 1766, and spent his early married life in Martin Co close to Williamston.He married Mary Price, who was born on 12 January 1766, probably in Martin Co. Herbrother was Thomas Price, who named his sister "Mary Cherry" in his 16 January 1800 willin Martin Co. One of the executors named was Jeremiah Cherry. The father of Thomas Priceand his sister Mary may have been William Price, but the evidence for this is flimsy.

Jeremiah bought 100 acres in Martin Co from the state on 16 July 1795. On 3 October1802 he bought a tract of 16 acres "beginning at the fork of the road southerly from thehouse where John Williams lately lived then up the road" etc. This is more evidence that theWilliams families had close connections with the Cherry families; see below.

There is a 15 December 1802 Martin Co deed which says "Know all men by thesepresents that I Jeremiah Cherry of the town of Williamston NC" sold a town lot of half anacre, lot number 32, to Miles Hollewell for $140. This sale was witnessed by Mollechi Smithand Richard Williams; Jeremiah Cherry signed. This deed, then, establishes that Jeremiahdid live in or near Williamston. Then on 4 May 1803 Jeremiah bought a 20 year old Negrowoman named Margugal from Thomas Fagan of Washington Co NC; this was witnessed byRichard Williams and Henry Slade. On 14 September 1803 Jeremiah bought 125 acres fromEbenezer Slade Sr. This land was on the south side of the Roanoke River and bounded byland belonging to Mayslip, Patent, William Ward, McKinzie, and Thomas Hunter. On 17August 1804 "Jeremiah Cherry of Martin Co" sold 3 acres next to the "road Williamston toWashington" to David Clark of Plymouth. On 11 December 1804 Abner Cherry sold 40 acresto Jeremiah Cherry, land "beginning at a branch on above Job Cherry Ser' fence on theWildest Road running down the said branch to Nathan Ross' line" etc. On the same dateAbner sold a Negro woman named Moll to Jeremiah for £145. On 12 March 1806 Jeremiahwitnessed a sale of 500 acres from David Clark to Ebenezer Slade, land obtained by Clarkfrom Henry Slade Jr , Henry Slade Sr, and from Ebenezer Slade Jr deceased. On 15September 1806 Jeremiah sold to Ruth Kennedy of Martin Co 12 acres "beginning at the forkof the Plymouth Road running down the road to William McKinzie's line thence down saidline to said McKinzie's corner toward Williamston" etc. This transaction was witnessed byReuben Ross and by Darling Cherry; Jeremiah Cherry signed. On 24 November 1806 CharlesHooks sold to Jeremiah Cherry, both of Martin Co, 157 acres on the "west side of Luck[Tuck?] Creek being the land given to me in my fathers last will and testament adjoining theland Spellar Ward former line." On 27 October 1807 Jeremiah sold 30 acres to JamesEverett, land near the town of Williamston and at "the forks of the road that leads toWashington & Plymouth" and along "the branch to the road that leads from Williamston [to]the old Chapell." On 30 November 1807 Jeremiah sold 157 acres to Samuel Wheatley, bothof Martin Co, land "on the west side of [... ]ick Creek being the land sold to me by CharlesHooks ajoining the land formerly belonging to William Hooks decd." Jeremiah sold 47 acresto Sterling Rogers, both of Martin Co, on 20 July 1808. This land bordered the road fromWilliamston "to the Chapel" and also the road from Williamston to Washington. On 27 July1808 Jeremiah sold 53 acres to David Clark of the town of Plymouth, land close to that ofthe sale of a week earlier. On 22 September 1808 Jeremiah Cherry sold 90 acres to WilliamMcKinzie of Martin Co, land bordering "John Nicholson's line formerly Job Cherrys" and"being that tract or parcel of land which was granted by the State of NC to the said Jeremiahby patent dated the 16 day of July in the year of our lord one thousand seven hundred &ninety five" (Book E, page 249). On 10 December 1810 Jeremiah Cherry of "Martin Co" (hehad already moved to Columbia, TN) sold land near Williamston near Benjamin Barral.

From the above deed records we can definitely say that Jeremiah Cherry lived either inWilliamston or on the eastern outskirts of town, and that he owned a considerable amountof land for the time. He appears to have sold most, if not all his land, by the end of 1810 inpreparation for his move to Columbia, TN. He was in Columbia by 1809, but probablyreturned to Williamston to finish the last land sales.

Jeremiah owned and ran a tavern, which was a large two story frame house built in 1811in Columbia on North Main Street about one block north of the town square; in November1812 he was granted a liquor l icense. He was also appointed to be a constable on 18September 1809, and again (or re-appointed?) on 10 September 1811. In 1811 he sold lotnumber 12 in Columbia to Littleberry Mangrum. On 17 August 1814 Betsy Hendersoncharged Jeremiah Cherry with assault and battery. Since Jeremiah owned a saloon, she couldhave easily been a dissatisfied drunk / hooker who was removed from the premises.

Jeremiah died in Columbia on 29 January 1821 and his wife Mary died in Columbia on15 May 1852. Both are buried in Greenwood Cemetery about a mile north of Columbia'stown square.

Thomas' will was probated in Martin Coin 1800 or 1801. (Many of the wills of these years do not have the probate date shown in thewill records.) Also, Thomas' wife Mary (or was this Mary a daughter of Elijah Price who lefta January 1794 Martin Co will?) witnessed the late 1790s will of Joseph Biggs Sr in MartinCo. For further Price information, see page 803. (53,72,91, BH,EC,1aezp, 10iczy)

He was in the 1810 Beaufort Co census, age 26 to 44, and lived next tobrothers John, Mercer, and William, and had sixteen slaves; in the 1820 Beaufort Co censushe was over age 45. He left a will dated 2 August 1841 in Beaufort Co, and died on 19August 1845. His will was probated in August 1845; no executors were named, so sonsJeremiah R Cherry and Robert C Cherry were appointed to be the administrators. Jeremiahnamed his wife Mary _____ (Church?, or Brown?) and five children, and left Mary a Negro.Jeremiah was buried in the Cherry Cemetery at Washington. Mary was born in 1784 in NC(she was age 26 to 44 in 1820), and in 1850 was living in the Tranter's Creek district inBeaufort Co with three of her sons, and next door to her niece Winifred Cherry[C1a8f2c].Son Jeremiah R Cherry was an executor of the Nathan Brown estate in the mid-1840s, andin Nathan's will he gave his son William Wirt Brown two-thirds of the estate. But if WilliamBrown were to die without an heir, William's two-thirds would go to the three sons ofJeremiah Cherry. One of the witnesses to Nathan Brown's 1839 will was Matthew Shaw, thehusband of Jeremiah's daughter Hannah Cherry. In 1850 a Henry Brown, age 15, was livingwith Mary and her sons. Living next door was Patty Brown, age 45, and Patty's children.Mary died early in 1865. In her 21 October 1863 will she left her estate to daughter HannahN Shaw. She and Jeremiah had six children-

Jeremiah W Cherry [C1a5e4e4], son of Jeremiah Cherry Jr and Mary Rebecca Cooper,was born 12 January 1826 in Columbia, TN. He grew up in Columbia, but moved toNashville where he was a printer. On 16 April 1848 Jeremiah died in Nashville and wasburied in Columbia's Greenwood Cemetery. There is no evidence that he ever married.(70,CC)

Jesse Cherry [C1a5b1], son of Faithful Cherry Jr, was born in 1731 in Norfolk Co VA,or in Tyrrell Co NC. We know Jesse's father was Faithful Cherry because Jesse's brother'sIsaac named Jesse as a brother (or brother-in-law?) in Isaac's will; Isaac was named asFaithful's son in Faithful's will. Jesse was in Martin Co NC in the state census of 1787, andwas living next to his uncle Job and three doors from his father. Jesse had a large family. In1790 he was living next to his brothers Joel, James, and Jonathan. By then Jesse's father hadbeen dead for over a year. There was another Jesse Cherry in Martin Co in 1790: He was

Jesse Cherry Esquire, and was living three doors from Thomas Beach Senr and had only awife, with no children. Jesse, son of Faithful, sold 50 acres on Wild Cat Swamp, boundednext to Thomas Whitley's land, to brother Joel Cherry on 20 January 1784. The sale waswitnessed by Harrell Cherry and Rhodie Cherry; Rhodie made her "O" mark. On the samedate Faithful Cherry sold 50 acres in the same area to Jesse; the witnesses were the same.

"Loving friend" Jesse Cherry was named as the executor in the will of William Ander-son on 13 November 1789. In these years, a "loving friend" was usually a brother or a close-in-law. Witnesses of William Anderson's will were Jesse Cooper, Rhoda Cherry, and Jane

"A" Cone. Of the executor and the witnesses, they all lived near each other at Williamston.There were three Cone families four doors from William Anderson, and the Jesse Cone homewas a few doors further on and next to Jesse Cooper. About mid-way between the Andersonhome and the four Cherry homes of Joel, Jesse, James, and Jonathan, was the home of thecounty coroner Harrell Cherry. Rhoda, Jesse's sister, probably never married and could havebeen living with Jesse in 1790; Jesse had five females in his home (Joel had four, but Jamesand Jonathan had one each). Jesse also witnessed a sale between Isaac Byrd and WilliamAnderson on 11 March 1778.

From various sources, Jesse Cherry of Martin Co married Mary Riddick first (themother of his children), married Eliza Bennett second, and married Julia Miller last. Marywas a daughter of Joseph Riddick and Hannah ____. Julia was a daughter of Joshua Millerand Polly Little. Jesse was living alone in Martin Co in 1810, and died there about 1817. Hehad eight children-a. David Cherry, b abt 1752b. Henry Cherry, b 1750sc. Mary Cherry, b 1760sd. dau Cherrye. dau Cherryf. dau Cherryg. John Alexander Cherry, b abt 1763h. Willis Cherry, b 1760sWilliam Anderson apparently died by the summer of 1790 because his widow Ann _____ wasthe head of their home. In her household then were three females, a boy under age 16, anda boy over age 16. William's will in November 1789 named his wife Ann, daughters Ann &Elizabeth, and sons William, and James Anderson. In 1787 William Anderson, living in Wil-liamston, had one boy under the age of 21, and two females in his home. From these twocensus reports and William's will, it appears that William Anderson's children were bornas follows: William, born by 1774; Ann, born by 1787, and Elizabeth and James born after1787.Neil Cone, planter, left his 30 July 1782 will in Martin Co in which it named sons Ned,Jesse, Levy, & William Cone, and daughters Sarah Joyce, Mary Harrell, Patience Morris,Martha Cherry, & Charity Cone. Witnesses to this will were Jesse Cooper, William Brewer,and Andrew AndersonInformation on children and spouses of Jesse Cherry, born in 1731, mostly came from thebook The Thigpen Tribe. This source, though, had obviously l is ted Jesse's parentsincorrectly. As for the will record showing Jesse as a brother of Isaac: Source JY read thiswill in 1980, taking notes, but not quoting the whole will. And again in 1990 he re-read thesame will, forgetting that it had been read ten years prior. Both sets of notes matched. But

there is a discrepancy in that the transcribed copy of Isaac's will, made into a book, showsJesse being named as a brother-in-law of Isaac.. (57,68,77,91, G,1aehpz)

Jesse Cherry [C1a8c1], son of John Cherry and Mary Jordan, was born 4 July 1740 inTyrrell Co NC, probably in the section of the county which became part of Martin Co in1774. He was married about 1763 to Julia Little, and about 1770 married Elizabeth Gainer.Elizabeth was a daughter of Arthur Gainer and Sarah Elizabeth Butler. Jesse's wife Elizabethwas born in 1750 or 1751, probably in Tyrrell Co, and died in 1836. Source 59 says Jesse'swife was Elizabeth Wheatley, daughter of Samuel Wheatley (born about 1705). But the will(Tyrell Co NC, dated 1 October 1751) of Arthur Gainer said he gave to "my DaughterElizabeth Cherry ten Shillings. "

Jesse rendered at least two services for his country during the Revolutionary War,serving 84 months; he received 640 acres for his service, and was discharged as a private.He lived in Martin Co from at least 13 September 1775 since he witnessed the will of RobertSherrod on that date. In 1779 Jesse was listed on the Martin Co tax roster. On 27 October1784 he received three tracts of Martin Co land from the state of NC: 200 acres next to"Cherry's old corner," 100 acres next to Benjamin Whitley's land and "along a line supposedto be in Job Cherry's line," and 100 acres next to "Cherry's old line," Edward Byrd's land,and next to Whitley's land. In March 1793, sheriff John Bowers of Pitt Co sold a negro to"Jesse Cherry of Martin Co" for £81. In the sale it was mentioned that Jesse was an executorof Benjamin Whitley, so perhaps Jesse bought the slave with estate money in order to helpmaintain the Whitley farms. In the 1790 census, this Jesse and his wife were living in thearea of many of the neighbors named in the above 1784 land purchase.

Jesse was also a representative to the House Of Commons for Martin Co for five terms(1790, 1791, 1792, 1795, and 1801), and was a Martin Co court justice in 1792. We knowthis was the correct Jesse Cherry of Martin Co because he was referred to as Jesse CherryEsq when, in 1810 his heirs received a land grant as the "brother and only heir of DanielCherry, dec'd, soldier in the last war." The title Esquire was normally reserved for elderrespected politicians.

Jesse died in February 1808 (per 1821 Wilson Co TN court record, as stated by his sonDaniel Cherry). And on 29 September 1808 "Darling Cherry, executor to the last will andtestament of Jesse Cherry Esq. Decd and in consideration of the qantity of four hundred &fifty dollars in hand," sold to Thomas Cofield a Negro man by the name of Joe; Darlingsigned and James Bennett witnessed (deed Book E, page 253). And on 22 September 1810the Martin Co coroner, Harrell Cherry, son of Faithful Cherry (and uncle of the late JesseCherry Esquire), referred to "the executors of Jesse Cherry the plaintiff," thus also sayingthat Jesse was dead.

Another Jesse Cherry was dead by 28 July 1807 because Jesse Cherry (born in 1731,and son of Faithful Cherry) was the administrator of the estate of the late Thomas Fones, andsold some of the estate land to "Elizabeth Fones now the wife of Elisha Williams" of MartinCo, land next to the land patented by "Jesse Cherry decd." There were five Jesse Cherry menin the Martin Co area at the start of the 19th century, then three after the above two JesseCherry men died: Jesse Cherry the bricklayer, born in 1763 (son of Jonathan Cherry); JesseCherry, born about 1770 (the bachelor son of Jesse Cherry Esquire); and Jesse CherryJunior, born in 1731 (son of Faithful Cherry). Bricklayer Jesse did not die until 1823. In1790 Jesse Cherry, son of Jonathan, lived in Martin Co next to Joel Cherry, son of Faithful.

Soon after Jesse's death in early February 1808, Elizabeth married Jonas Skinner by theFall of 1808, and later married Edward Byrd on 7 February 1822 in Martin Co "at theresidence of Lawrence Cherry, Esq. by the Rev. Joseph Biggs." Edward, age 82 at the time,was the father of William Byrd who married Jesse's daughter Lovey Cherry. Elizabeth wasage 71 at this second marriage. Jesse and Julia had two sons, and with Elizabeth he had at

least twelve children, many of whom moved to Wilson, Hardin, Davidson, and RutherfordCounties TN (see map below). The sources of naming Jesse's children are shown after eachchild-a.

Jesse Cherry [unknown], born in NC in 1761, lived in Jasper Co GA from 1823 to hisdeath in December 1841. The Southern Recorder newspaper reported, on 14 December 1841,that "At his residence in Jasper County, Mr. Jesse Cherry, an aged and respectable citizenof that county, [died] in his 80th year. He was a native of North Carolina, and had lived inJasper County for the past eighteen years. "

Jesse Cherry [C1a5b2c], son of Jonathan Cherry of Martin Co NC, was born close to1760, perhaps in 1763, in Martin Co NC. He was no doubt named for his uncle. Jesse thenephew was a bricklayer, as was his father. In the 1787 state census of Martin Co there wasonly one Jesse Cherry in the county, the son of Faithful (and brother of Jonathan) who wasliving three doors from Faithful in Williamston (district 3), and who was known as JesseCherry Esquire on many records. But Jonathan Cherry (in district 7) in 1787 had two adultmales in his household, two boys, and four females. Jesse, son of Jonathan, was probably

Page 51: The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VAeazier1/Cherry/CHERRY-Pgs401-500.pdfThe CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 401 There was an advertisem ent in Pickens District, SC, on

the other adult male in Jonathan's home. The 1790 census showed two Jesse Cherry men: onehad a large family and was living next to Joel, James, and Jonathan Cherry (in Jonathan'shouse there was only himself and his wife); the second Jesse was living close to ThomasBeach Sen and William Slade, and had only himself and his wife. Of these two, the oner

close to Jonathan and Joel was Jesse Esquire, and the one close to Thomas Beach Senr wasthe son of Jonathan.

The 1800 Martin Co census shows Jesse as "Jesse Cherry - son of Jonathan," and he wasaged between 26 and 44. Therefore his birth date was between 1756 and 1763. And since hewas a newly married adult in the 1790 census, he was likely born in the 1760s. Jesse, son ofJonathan, had two boys and two girls under the age of 10 in 1800. One of the boys was theJesse Cherry Junior in the 1810 census.

On 17 February 1784 "Jesse Cherry, bricklayer of Martin Co," bought 50 acres for £6from "James Biggs, cooper of Martin Co;" this was witnessed by Jeremiah Cherry andJoshua Cherry (made an "O"). James Biggs signed; James was the husband of JemimaCherry. Jesse was probably the Jesse Cherry who was one of the executors of the 1811 willof Job Cherry in Martin Co. Jesse was named as the executor in the 10 August 1822 will ofWilliam Swanner, and Jesse's son Dawson was a witnesses.

Jesse left a will in Martin Co dated 24 July 1823 and proven in September 1823; theexecutors were James Mayo (perhaps the husband of Jesse's sister Elizabeth?) and DawsonCherry, and witnesses were Daniel Parrish & Richard Medford (see Jesse's sister Jenney fora Medford connection). In his will Jesse named his wife Elizabeth and five children; todaughter Martha one Negro girl, Harriet; to daughter Polly Medford a Negro boy namedSam; to daughter Sabrina a Negro girl named Charlotte and Negro Clarey after Mother'sdeath; to son Dawson half of the land not given to wife Elizabeth, also to Dawson the halfgiven to wife Elizabeth after she dies, and a Negro boy named Washington; to wife Elizabethhalf of land including plantation, Negroes named Vilet, boy named Peter, and girl namedClarey; to son Howell 100 acres including the Bellflower tract and a Negro boy named Peterafter mother dies. Jesse's father named the first three of Jesse's children in his father's will.Jesse apparently married Elizabeth Mayo in 1789 or 1790, and had no children by 1790-1. Frederick Cherry, b 1790s?2.

Joel Cherry in 1810. All f ive of these Jesse Cherry m en lived in Martin County. Jonathan and

Joel Cherry were brothers of the e lder Jesse Cherry.

Jesse Cherry [C1a9c3a], son of John Cherry Jr and Sarah, was probably born in themid-1760s to the 1770s in Tyrrell Co NC (born about 4 July 1749 in Halifax district ofMartin Co, per 114). He married Elizabeth _____. (57,69,77,NS,DK,WD)

Jesse Cherry Jr [C1a8c1b], son of Jesse Cherry and Elizabeth Gainer, was born about1770 in Martin Co NC. On 12 November 1808 Jesse Cherry sold to Silas Bennett, both ofMartin Co, a tract "with all the appurtenances excepting one quarter of an acre of landtogether with my father grave yard lying and being in the aforesaid county containing threehundred and twenty four acres" on the west side of Smithwick's Creek on Ward's line andby Biggs' and Cherry's dividing line. Robert Warren witnessed and Jesse Cherry signed.Because this deed mentioned "my father grave yard" in November 1808, the Jesse selling theland must have been a son of Jesse Cherry Esquire; Jesse Esquire died about 1807. In 1800Jesse Jr was single, the head of his own household, living alone in Martin Co, age 26 to 44.

In 1810 there were three Jesse Cherry men in Martin Co: the first Jesse was living nextto Joel Cherry on page 445 of the census; this Jesse was a son of Jonathan. The second Jessewas called Jesse Cherry Jun. and was six doors from Abner Cherry (page 446); Jesse Jun.(not to be confused with the Jesse Jun. in the 1810 census – see below) was age 16 to 26.The third Jesse Cherry was the subject of this biography. He was three doors from WilliamSwanner (on page 449), and was the son of the late Jesse Cherry Esquire. This Jesse,although called "Jesse Cherry Jun." in 1800 when his father was still living, was still single.He appears to have always been a bachelor; in 1800 he was born between 1756 and 1774,and in 1810 he was born between 1766 and 1784. Therefore, Jesse's birth date was about1770. After 1810 he was not found, nor did he leave a will in Martin Co. (69,1aehpz)

Jesse Cherry [unknown], was in Edgecombe Co NC in 1820. He was born between1795 and 1804. He was not on the 1815 Edgecombe Co tax roster, but in 1820 he was livingin Edgecombe Co with a young woman (his wife?) of about the same age. They had nochildren then, and lived next to widower John Mayo and Frederick Hopkins. After 1820Jesse was not found in the Edgecombe Co area. (5i)

Jesse Cherry [unknown], possibly a son of Joel Cherry and Joel's first wife, was calledJesse Cherry Jun. in 1807 and 1810 in Martin Co NC. He was born between 1785 and 1794,probably in Martin Co. Jesse, called Jesse Cherry Junior, was of age to witness the land saleof 83½ acres from Thomas Fones to "Elizabeth Fones now the wife of Elisha Williams" on28 July 1807. Jesse Cherry (not this Jesse) was the administrator of the Thomas Fonesestate; it was the deceased Thomas Fones' land being sold, and was property next to Cherryland and patented by Jesse Cherry deceased (Jesse Esquire, who died soon before the dateof this land sale). Since Jesse was often called a "Junior" after the death of Jesse Esquire (healso became an adult at about the time Jesse Esquire died), Jesse Junior wouldn't be a sonof Jesse Cherry Esquire, but would instead be a "junior" to another older Jesse Cherry. In1807 and 1810 the only older Jesse Cherry men in the area were sons of Faithful (born in1731), and of Jesse Cherry Esquire (born in 1770). Neither of these two older men had a son

named Jesse, so "Jesse Cherry Jun." must have been a cousin or nephew to the older ones.It was common to use the "Junior" title if someone older of the same name lived nearby. AndJesse Junior lived close to Jesse Cherry, son of Faithful, in 1810. But this does not resolvethe problem of who Jesse Junior's father was.

In 1810 Jesse Jr and his family consisted of Jesse, another male in his young teen years,a woman of about the same age as Jesse, two young teenage girls, and a girl under the ageof 10. Since Jesse was not of age to be a parent to the teenagers, they may have been hissiblings. After 1810 Jesse was not found in the Martin Co area. Jesse appears to be closelyrelated to Abner Cherry since he lived six doors from Abner in 1810 and was named withAbner to be an executor of Job Cherry's February 1811 will with Abner. From the 1790 and1800 censuses, the eight Cherry men who had sons, one of whom who could be Jesse, were:M Harrell Cherry the county coroner had a boy under age 16 in 1790 and that boy was age

10 to 15 in 1800. Harrell Cherry left no will and was dead by 1810.M James Cherry had an older teenage boy in 1790, and died between 1797 and the summer

of 1800. His will only named sons James and John.M Jesse Cherry Esquire, had many sons; one was over age 16 in 1790. Jesse Esquire was

born in 1731, so was of an age to have a son named Jesse Cherry Junior. But there isno evidence that he did.

M Jesse Cherry, son of Jonathan, was newly married about 1790, yet without childrenthen. He did not name a son as Jesse in his will, but had two boys under age 10 in 1800.They wouldn't have been over age 16 in 1807 to witness a land sale, so Jesse, son ofJonathan, was probably not the father.

M Joab Cherry, had three sons in his house in 1790. one was over age 15 and the other twowere under age 16. Joab was not found in 1800 and left no will.

M Job Cherry, had two teenage boys over age 15 in 1790, but he did not name JesseCherry as a son in his poorly written 1811 will. Job died in 1814, but was not found in1810.

M Joel Cherry, had three boys under age 16 in 1790. Joel's 1816 will indicated that he wasmarried twice, and the last wife was the mother of his five youngest children. Jesse wasnot named as one of them. But Jesse "Jun." could easily be a son from the f irstmarriage. In 1810 Jesse lived in the same community where Joel lived.

M Jonathan Cherry, had an older teenage boy and two under age 16 in 1790. He did notname a son Jesse Cherry in his will.

Of these eight men, two are the likely father of Jesse: Joel Cherry and Job Cherry. (1pzaeh)

Jesse Cherry [C1a8c1f3], son of Isham Cherry and Silva Harrell, was born 27 April1804 in Martin Co NC. He was a young man when his family moved to Hardin Co TN, andthere he was elected County Register in the place of James Barnes who resigned. IshamCherry and Eli Cherry, his father and brother, were bondsmen. Jesse and his brother Noelwere indicted in Hardin Co on 5 October 1824 for assault and battery against AlexanderShaddock. In the 1830 census Jesse was the head of his household, but there was apparentlyanother young family living with him. The second man was close to Jesse's age (probablyJesse's younger brother Harrell Cherry), the woman in the household was in her late teens(Harrell's wife? or Jesse's wife?), and there was a young boy under the age of five. Jessemarried Nancy Lilly, daughter of Noah Lilly, and sister of Margaret Lilly who marriedJesse's brother Noel. Nancy was born about 1810 in TN. Noah Lilly of Hardin Co gave to his

daughter Nancy Cherry a Negro boy named George Westly on 10 July 1837 (Hardin Co deedbook D, page 11). Noah's daughter Nancy must have been an older adult at the time becauseNoah also granted "unto my daughter Nancy Cherrys heirs to wit Columbus Franklin, IshamPerry, Margaret Elizabeth, Noel Jackson, Lilly and all other lawfull heirs she may have inthe present wedlock ..." And Hardin Co deed book I, page 378, dated 20 January 1847,concerns the January 1842 petition of "Columbus F Cherry, Isham P Cherry, & MargaretElizabeth Cherry" by their guardian Jesse Cherry. 100 acres in the 6th Civil District was soldto Eli Cherry. This was in reference to the tract of Isham Cherry, the grandfather of saidpetitioners.

Jesse apparently had financial difficulties and was forced to sell a slave to pay offdebts. He borrowed $700 from Elias W Porter of MS on 4 March 1839, with slave George,age 21, as collateral, in order to pay off what was owed to David Robinson (Hardin Co deedbook D, page 317).

Jesse was appointed guardian (i. e., power of attorney) of three of his children in orderreceive inheritance from Jesse's father Isham on 2 August 1841. Jesse was found in Titus Coin the 1846 tax roster in Titus Co TX, and Nancy was found there in the 1850 census. Jessemust have died in the latter 1840s in Titus Co. There was also a "J B Cherry" and an "S RCherry" in the 1846 tax roster. Jesse's children were-a. Columbus Franklin Cherry, b 27 Apr 1827b. Isham Perry Cherry, b 1830 in Hardin Co TN. He was single, living with his widowed

mother in Titus Co TX in 1850 (as son J P Cherry, age 20). Isham served in the 10thTexas Cavalry (Locke's) during the Civil War. Isham P Cherry entered as a Private andwas discharged as a Second Lieutenant. He was not found after the end of the CivilWar, yet he survived the war. Note that there were three Isham Cherry men fromHardin Co TN, all born in the early 1830s. All of them lived for a while in Titus Coafter 1850, and one (Isham P) moved there in the 1840s. One was Isham BarnettCherry, [C1a8c1f2e] , born in 1830 and a son of Noel Cherry and Margaret Lilly.Another was Isham R Cherry [C1a8c1f1g], born in 1834 and a son of Eli Cherry andCynthia Ward. The other was Isham Perry Cherry [C1a8c1f3b], born in 1830 and a sonof Jesse Cherry and Nancy Lilly. Hence, there is much confusion in separating themyears later. All were first cousins, two were double f irst cousins, and all weregrandsons of Isham Cherry (born 1778 in Martin Co NC) and Silva Harrell. (77,EP, JY,M,62n)

c. Margaret Elizabeth Cherry, b 1832 in Hardin Co TN. She was single, living with herwidowed mother in Titus Co TX in 1850. On 24 August 1853 Margaret E Cherry ofTitus Co TX at Mt Pleasant, gave power of attorney to "Isham P Cherry (of sameCounty)" and made reference to her "grandfather Isham Cherry of Hardin County,Tennessee." (77,EP,62n)

d. Noel Jackson Cherry, b 1836 in Hardin Co TN. He was single, living with his widowedmother in Titus Co TX in 1850. Noel was named after his father 's older brother.(EP,62n)

e. Lilly Cherry, b c1837, apparently died by 1850 since he was not part of his mother'shousehold in 1850 (EP)

f. Mary Adaline Cherry, b 1838 in Hardin Co TN (age 19 in 1860), lived in Titus Co TXin 1850 (age 12). In 1860 she lived with her mother and younger brothers in Upshur CoTX. (EP,62n, 96q)

g. Hugh Cherry, b 1841 in Hardin Co TN, lived in Titus Co TX in 1850 and in Upshjur Coin 1860. He served in the 14th Texas Infantry, Clark's Regiment, in the Civil War.(EP,M,62n)

Jesse Cherry [C1a8i2d], son of Willis Cherry and Charlotte Council, was born in 1805in NC (age 10-15 in 1820). He married Eliza Chism in White Co on 21 April 1831 and theylived in White Co. In 1840 in White Co (census pg 278) Jesse had only three sons, plus hiswife and an apparent sister-in-law. Jesse’s wife was age 20s, born 1811-1820. She died inthe 1840s since Jesse had a new wife by 1850. The 1860 census said he was born in KY, thusindicating that they lived for a while in Warren Co KY on his way to White Co IL in the late1810s. Jesse’s wife in 1850 and 1860 was Elizabeth _____, born in 1825 in IL. Children bornfrom Jesse’s first wife were the sons born in the 1830s, plus perhaps the fourth son. Jesse’schildren were-1.

In 1900 she claimed she hadjust one child; in 1910 she claimed thirteen children, with just three still alive. Perhaps shewas senile by 1900, so these claims of the number of children cannot be reliable. Jesse'sknown children were-1. Isham W Cherry b 27 Nov 1847 (5n,391q)2.

6 March 1773 Joab bought from John Kennedy, both of Tyrrell Co (later to become MartinCo), 50 acres, part of a 560 acres tract "on ye east side of Stancil's branch." On 8 July 1777Joab sold 50 acres to William Anderson, both of Martin Co, land "beginning at a red oakmarked Thms I C running thence So to a corner tree a pine" etc. This was witnessed by IsaacKennedy and Jesse Cooper. Joab Cherry signed. In December 1778 Joab witnessed a salefrom Anderson to Thomas Ward. In January 1779 Joab witnessed a land sale from WilliamAnderson to Isaac Kennedy. On 17 March 1779 "Joab Cherry of Martin Co" sold 100 acresto Lylliston Banks "beginning on the South side of Stancel's Branch at the mouth of theSpring Branch running up the Branch to a white oak Isaac Kennedy line" etc. This waswitnessed by Jesse Cooper and Charles Hunter.

In the 1787 state census Joab was married and had six children, and no slaves; he livednear Joel Cherry. In 1790 he had seven children, no slaves, and was living near HarrellCherry. Joab was not in the 1800 or 1810 census, so had apparently died in Martin Co in the1790s. Isaac Kennedy was probably the husband of Mary Ann Cherry. (68,77,1zt)

Job Cherry [C1a5e], son of Faithfull Cherry and Patience _____ of Norfolk Co VA,was born in Norfolk Co in the 1720s (he was named in his father's 1727 will), and receivedone _____ (barrel?) of about five gallons "to be delivered to him at the death of his mother."Job moved to Tyrrell Co NC by 1755 since he was on the county tax list then, possibly withhis new bride Abiah Ventures (his daughter Jemima was born about 1756 in NC). Job wouldhave been about age 30 when they married, and about age 40 when Abiah's first known childwas born. Therefore it would be reasonable to assume that Job may have had a wife beforeAbiah, and possibly one or two children with the first wife. Abiah was born about 1736. Twoof Job's brothers also moved to Martin Co, or were there in the mid-18th Century: Faithfulwas one who actually settled in Tyrrell Co, as did Job (in what became Martin Co in 1774);brother Titus witnessed a land sale between a John Cherry and William Swanner on 15September 1762 in Tyrrell Co.

On 26 November 1764, for £7/10, Job sold 114 acres in Tyrrell Co, land adjacent tomore of his farm land, to Southey Haislip (Book E, page 326). This land was also next to thatof Charles Haislip and land owned by Mr Whitehurst e. In February 1774 Job Cherry bought150 acres from Matthew Yarall. This purchase was witnessed by _____ Cherry. In 1779 Jobwas on the Martin Co tax list. On 27 October 1784 Jesse Cherry, probably Job's nephew(Faithful's son), patented 200 acres from NC, land next to Job Cherry's land.

In the NC state census of 1787, Job lived next door to Jesse Cherry and two doors fromFaithful Cherry in district 3; four doors from Faithful was James Biggs who had marriedJob's daughter Jemima Cherry [C1a6f1. In the state census Job is shown with a large family:one adult male (Job), five white males under 21, six white females, and five Blacks. Job alsobought an 11 year old Negro boy named Phill from William Pully in October 1790 in MartinCo.

Job Cherry was a private in the NC Continental Line under John Price, and 640 acreswere granted to Job for his 84 months of service. On 17 January 1782 Job was paid £12/8/8plus another £1/0 from the "State of NC Halifax District" for his military service; he alsoreceived £2/2 on 17 April 1784 for his military service of 1787.

1800 with one apparent daughter or granddaughter (age 16 to 25). He left a will in MartinCo dated 23 February 1811. It was proven in December 1814, so Job died in the latter partof 1814, at an age of about 90. The executors named in the will were his son Abner Cherry(son Jeremiah had already moved west to Columbia, TN, so could not be an executor), andJesse Cherry (Job's great nephew); witnesses were Malachi Etheridge and Harrell Cherry(son of Job's brother Faithful Cherry). Job could not write, but in his rambling will he gaveson Abner land, the plantation, and the house in Williamston "formerly belonging toJonathan Cherry" (son of Faithful). He gave son Joshua a Negro named Dick, gave son"Jerry" a Negro named George, and gave cash to Joshua, Job Jr, and Abner. Jemima and hermother were not named, so were probably dead by 1811. See Jemima's biography; herhusband also did not name her in his will. Job had at least nine children (see Joab Cherry),the first eight born in Tyrrell Co NC-1. Jemima Cherry, b abt 17562.

Job Cherry Jr [C1a5e3], son of Job Cherry and Abiah Ventures, was born about 1763in Tyrrell Co NC. He owned land in Martin Co. There are deeds of a Job Cherry who couldnot sign his name, but instead made an O . Since Job Cherry Jr did sign, then any record ofa Job Cherry signed with an "O" is Job Cherry Sr.

Job Jr sold 100 acres to William Carraway on 6 October 1800 and signed the deed ofsale (Book C, page 701).

Joel Cherry [C2b], son of Benjamin Cherry of Ireland, was probably born in Irelandin the 1730s, by 1740. He was killed in the American Revolution. (FC)

Joel Cherry [C1a3b1], son of Spring Cherry and Lucy ____, was born by about the1740s (he was married in 1768) in Norfolk Co VA. Joel received the 105 acre plantation hisfather inherited from his father John Cherry in 1754, plus cooper's tools. Joel married NancyAllen in 1768 in Norfolk Co, but by 1785 he was not listed in Norfolk Co on the Federalcensus. He may be the Joel Cherry, or his descendants, who moved to the northeastern partof TX. They also may have moved to SC by 1800. (77,28pam)

Joel Cherry [C1a5b4], son of Faithful Cherry Jr and Susannah _____, was born by themid-1750s in Tyrrell Co NC. He was a cooper in Martin Co, and was named in his father'sFebruary 1787 will. Joel bought 100 acres from John Kennedy on 4 July 1777 (thus he wasprobably at least age 21 then), land next to Isaac Kennedy's property. In the summer of 1780he was a member of Skewarkey Baptist Church, but transferred to Conoho Church thatsummer. On 6 February 1783 Joel bought 100 acres from his father, land on Wildcat Swampnext to Benjamin Whitley's line. This was witnessed by Stephen Anderson and HarrellCherry. In the 17 October 1783 will of Isaac Cherry, "dearly beloved brother Joel Cherry"was given Isaac's plantation. On 20 January 1784 "Jesse Cherry, bricklayer of Martin Co"sold 50 acres to "Joel Cherry, a cooper of Martin Co" for £7. The land was on the east sideof Wild Cat Swamp, and next to Thomas Whitley's line. This purchase was witnessed byHarrell Cherry and Rhodie Cherry, who left her O mark. Jesse Cherry signed. On 29September 1810 Jonathan Cherry granted "my worthy friend Joel Cherry" power of attorney.This was witnessed by Malachi Chappell and Obadiah Bullock.

In 1787 Joel was living next to Joab Cherry at Williamston, and in 1790 was living nextto his nephews James Cherry and Jonathan Cherry (sons of James Cherry), and next to olderbrother Jesse Cherry. Harrell Cherry and Job Cherry lived nearby. Joel was a member of theHouse of Commons from 1804 to 1805, in 1809, from 1812 to 1813, and in 1816.

Joel may have been married to Lydia ____ for on 25 November 1806 Joel and LydiaCherry witnessed the sale of land from Isaac Kennedy to Levi Harrell. Joel and Lydia Cherrywere both adult members of Skewarkey Church in Martin Co in 1805. Joel's wife in 1800

was born after 1755, so could be the mother of the two girls born before 1787. His wife in1810 was at least 45 years old, thus placing her birth date (if she was the same wife) between1755 and 1765, or about 1760. He was called "Joel Cherry Esq" on 2 January 1816 when hebought a Negro named Linden from Isham Cherry for $300. Joel left a 13 November 1816Martin Co will, proven in September 1817, in which he said his present wife Susanna wasnot his first wife, and the five youngest children were those of his wife Susanna. Susannawas Susanna Smithwick (Martin Co deed book D, page 120), daughter of Edward VonSmithwick. This connection was found in a land deed dated 13 March 1804 Martin Co.Susannah and Joel Cherry both signed the deed to sell 150 acres to Luke Smithwick, landoriginally given to Susannah by her father.

Joel's first children were two girls born by the summer of 1787. His family is hard topiece together since some of the children died young, and his will did not name all of them.Between 1790 and 1800 Joel acquired two slaves, and by 1810 had eight. From the censusrecords in Martin Co of 1787, 1790, 1800, and 1810 we can build his family, carrying theinformation of each prior census to the next; Martin Co's 1820 census no longer exists.Using information generated by census and probate records of Martin Co, and the 1830census, Joel may have had thirteen children- #a-#i, #k-#na. dau (Lydia?)

have been Emma Cherry. Emma was named as a daughter of Joel Cherry in the 28December 1812 will of Marian Etheridge in Martin Co. Emma's brother Alfred was alsomentioned. The will was proved by Sarah Hunter, Nancy A Cherry, Ruth Cherry, andLydia Cherry. Their connection to Emma or Alfred was not shown in the will. (91,1eh)

Besides Joel and wife Lydia being adult members of Skewarkey Church in Martin Co in1805, other Cherry members then were Harriet, Jonathan, and William Cherry. (68,77,91,RM,C,1aehpz)

Joel Cherry, [son of ?] was born 21 October 1768 in Norfolk Co VA. He marriedNancy Allen in Norfolk Co VA on 23 December 1802. She was born 5 July 1783, probablyin VA, and was a daughter of Captain John Allen and Myrick Middleton Wilson. Joel andNancy apparently moved to SC soon after their marriage. He died on 10 January 1848 at

Joel Cherry [unknown], born about 1769, was living in Mecklenburg Co NC in 1840.He was apparently married and had five older children living with him. Joel was born in1769 and his wife in 1786. He and his boys were not found in Mecklenburg Co in 1850. Joeldied on 10 June 1848, age 79; his wife Nancy died on 24 June 1859, age 75. They wereburied in New Six Mile Churchyard in Mecklenburg Co.

(RM, 36k)

Joel Cherry [C3], born in the 1790s, was in the 1820 Warren Co TN census, then wasin the 1830 Hardin Co TN Census with a wife and children. His wife from the 1830 censuswas born in the 1800s. At this time we do not know who his Cherry father was, so for thetime being, he is assigned a temporary ID# of [C3]. Joel bought land from W G Huddlestonin Hardin Co on 17 January 1837 (Deed book C, page 224). It would appear, from the birthyears of the last four children, and from Hardin Co court records, that Joel and his wife ofthe 1830 census married about 1823 or 1824.

There was a Joel Cherry family in Warren Co TN in 1820; that Joel's age matched theage of the Joel who moved to Hardin Co within ten years. The wife in Warren Co in 1820was born in the 1790s. The wife in Hardin Co in 1830 was about ten years younger. WarrenCo is in the center of modern TN, and was then about six counties east of Hardin Co. Butwith cheap and available land in this new Hardin Co, many young pioneers noved thosedistances to better themselves. In all of TN in 1830, there was only the one Joel Cherry, inHardin Co. Joel and his Hardin Co wife had four children, and with the Warren Co wife hehad at least two.

It appears, from the 1820 Warren Co TN census, that in Joel's home there were perhapstwo young families. Also in Warren Co there was another Joel Cherry family: an elderly JoelCherry (census page 320), age over 45, and a younger Joel Cherry (page 295), age 26-44. InJoel (Jr)'s home was another male, age 16-25. Perhaps they were brothers, or brothers-in-

law. Also in this home were two females ages 16-25 (wife and sister-in-law of Joel? or twosisters?), and four daughters or nieces under age 10, and another boy age 10-15. This familycould easily be two Cherry brothers and their spouses and children, or Joel and his wife andtheir children and siblings. But from Hardin Co records, it appears that the younger boy fromthe 1820 census was Joel's son, as was one of the daughters in the 1820 census. With Joel'ssecond marriage, probably in Hardin Co, he had six children-a. dau Cherry, b 1816-1820. She was a daughter under the age of 10 in Joel's home in

Warren Co in 1820.b. son (Joseph H?) Cherry, b 1818, was likely from a first marriage of Joel. Joel had a son

under the age of 10 in the 1820 Warren Co TN census. And there is a large age gapbetween the son born in 1818 and the next children who were born in the late 1820s.

c. son Cherry, b 1826-1830d. dau Cherry, b 1826-1830e. son Cherry, b 1826-1830f. dau Cherry, b 1826-1830David Cherry was an early pioneer settler of Warren Co TN.There are court records in Hardin Co in the mid 1820s that showed that Joseph H Cherry,born in 1818, was an orphaned child. The only possible Cherry father for him who lived inHardin Co in the 1820 and / or 1830 was Joel Cherry. But why would Joel give up a son ifhe had a wife and other younger children? The likely reason was that his wife in the 1830census was a new, second wife for Joel, and didn't want to be bothered with Joel's young boyfrom his first marriage. Since the Hardin Co marriage records were lost, we cannot see whoJoel's wife was, or when they married. (58,JY,9jzg)

Joel Cherry [unknown], was born in NC in 1819 (was Joel, age 51 in 1870; Jas, age 47in 1880, Joel, age 69 in 1900). Joel married Nancy Jenkins about 1860 and they lived inWashington Twp, Beaufort Co into the 20th Century. Nancy was born in NC in January 1840(age 40 in 1870, 35 in 1880, 60 in 1900). They had ten children by 1900, with nine stillliving-1. Annie Cherry, b 1860 (4r)2. Delana Cherry, b 1866 (4rs)3. Wiley Cherry, b 1867 (4rs)4. Lemuel Cherry, b 1870 (4s)5.

John Cherry Jr [C1a], son of immigrant John Cherry and Elizabeth Faithful, was bornabout 1641 in Norfolk Co VA. He married Rebecca Maund about 1662. She was born about1647. Records of Norfolk Co show an assignment from Andrew Etheridge and wife Ann toJohn Cherry on 6 May 1699. There is a deed dated 1 March 1665, recorded 25 February1666, from Richard and Joan Yates of "Elizabeth River in ye county of Lower Norfolk" toJohn Cherry, taylor, also of Elizabeth River. The deed conveyed 350 acres on Deep Creek"being in ye southern branch of Elizabeth River" for 1,000 pounds of tobacco. This land was

originally patented to Richard Yates on 6 March 1664. John also bought other land, inaddition to that inherited as an elder son. He had about 595 acres at the time of his death,even though 105 acres of it was patented over a year after he died.

John obviously lived along Deep Creek in Lower Norfolk Co, and was a tailor and a far-mer. He lived near John Slough, Thomas Slow (Slough), Thomas Richardson, and GeorgeBallentine. John Cherry Sr and William Maund witnessed the will of W H Whelten in LowerNorfolk Co on 13 September 1690. By this time John's father had been dead twenty years(per JY), and John himself had a son named John. Hence he was called John Sr in 1690. Johnmade his will in Norfolk Co on 12 January 1698 (or 1699), and it was recorded on 18 July1699 in Norfolk Co. The will is partially destroyed and water damaged, but about half islegible. In it John mentioned his wife Rebecca, daughter Rebecca, and sons John andWilliam. It also names Faithful and Samuel Cherry, but does not state the relationship. Thewill, found in Norfolk Co Deed Book 6, page 131, mentions land on Deep Creek and aplantation bought from Isaack Seaborne. The executrix was his wife Rebecca and witnesseswere William Maund and "Rebeckah Cherry Jr" (his daughter). And in 1704 "widow Churry"collected quit rents of £600 in Norfolk Co. John had at least five children, but other evidenceindicates he perhaps had nine children-1. Sarah Cherry, b abt 16662. John Cherry III, b 16713. Rebecca Cherry, b 16724. Thomas Cherry, b c16755. Faithfull Cherry, b 16786. William Cherry, b 16807. Samuel Maund Cherry, b c16828. Lemuel Cherry, b 16859. Solomon Cherry, b c1690 (EG,WD, 69,90,77,133,57)

John Cherry III, [C1a2], son of John Cherry Jr and Rebecca Maund, was born in 1671in Lower Norfolk Co VA, and lived Norfolk Co. He married Sarah Spring in Norfolk Co. Shewas born about 1705 in Norfolk Co. In 1704 he was listed in the Virginia Quit Rents with150 acres. On the 10 June 1731 Tithable of Norfolk Co John was exempt because he had justturned 60. On 12 or 13 February 1747 John bought 100 acres on Biggs Creek from JohnBiggs and wife Sarah ____. John Cherry left his will in Norfolk Co dated 30 April 1754which was probated in March 1755. John's will was witnessed by Joseph Biggs, HillaryCherry, and John Ferebee. John Cherry could not sign his name, but made an "O" instead.In it he named his wife, children, and four grandchildren: Jonathan Cherry, Ufan Cherry,Ann Cherry, and Joel Cherry. His will did not mention possible son Samuel, nor say who theparents of these grandchildren were. John's children were-a. John Cherry IV, b abt 1700b. Spring Cherry, b abt 1705c. Bethia Cherry, b abt 1708d. Elizabeth Cherry, b abt 1711e. Affia Cherry, b abt 1714f. Aaron Cherry, b abt 1717g. Samuel Cherry, b bef 1720

John Cherry's will gave to some of his children "Twenty Shillings" and not "One Pound."This would be the equivalent of someone today saying "One Hundred Cents" instead of "OneDollar." (69,77,WD,NW)

John Cherry IV [C1a2a], son of John Cherry III and Sarah Spring, was born about 1705in Norfolk Co VA. He received 20 shillings from his father's 30 April 1754 will. Nothingwas found concerning John as an adult in Norfolk Co. He died intestate, probably before1754. John's father John III, in his 30 April 1754 will, mentioned a grandson named JonathanCherry, and granddaughters named Upham and Ann Cherry, and another grandson namedJoel Cherry. Children of John IV were-1. Jonathan Cherry, was probably born in Norfolk Co VA in the 1730s or 1740s.2. Uphan Cherry (dau), was probably born in Norfolk Co VA in the 1730s or 1740s.3. Ann Cherry, was probably born in Norfolk Co VA in the 1730s or 1740s.4. Bethia Cherry, was probably born in Norfolk Co VA in the 1730s or 1740s. She was

named after her paternal aunt.5. Abigail Cherry, was probably born in Norfolk Co VA in the 1730s or 1740s. (WD,28p)

John Cherry [C1a6b], son of William Cherry and Elizabeth Tart of Norfolk Co VA,was probably born about 1705 in Norfolk Co. John was the head of his own household in1730 in Norfolk Co, listed as "John Chearey son of William Chearey." He inherited hisfather's plantation in 1737. William Cherry's will, dated 22 November 1736 in LowerNorfolk Co VA, (Book 1, page 17, probated 20 May 1737), named son John. And in 1755he may have been in Tyrrel l Co NC. A John Cherry was on the tax list then. (57,77,WD,JA,28p)

John Cherry [C1g4], son of Joseph Cherry of Norfolk Co VA, was born in 1717 inNorfolk Co. (WD)

John Cherry [C1a8c], son of Lemuel Cherry and Mary Courtney, was born about 1724in Norfolk Co VA. He was given the "manner plantation" in his father's Beaufort Co NC July1754 will, along with a "lot of Coppers tools" (cooper's tools?) and a Negro man Jeam. Johnwas named as an executor of his father's will (he was the eldest son), along with WilliamWillis. On 25 March 1771 John purchased land left to his brother William Cherry in 1760.John later sold this land to Joseph Holliday for £27 (the transaction was recorded in Pitt Co).He was also probably the John Cherry who sold 140 acres on 6 February 1773 to Colin Clarkin Beaufort Co, land on the north side of the Pamlico River. This deed was also signed byJohn's daughter Elizabeth Cherry. John was probably the John Cherry on the Tyrrell Co (nowMartin Co) tax list of 1755. John married Mary Jordan, daughter of Jesse Jordan of Pitt Co.On 15 September 1762 William Swanner sold four acres to John Cherry, both of Tyrrell Co,for £50 Virginia currency. This land was bounded by Swanner's line, a swamp, and TroopsBranch. Witnesses were Joseph Biggs and Titus Cherry. £50 for only four acres was quiteexpensive, so this land must have included buildings, or perhaps a house. Tyrrell Co deedbook 3, page 21, records the sale of "640 acres lying in the county of Tyrell on the west sideof Nuk Creek which was formerly called Bertie Co" from John Spear to John Cherry, for £40Virginia currency; this transaction was recorded on 27 November 1753. And Book 4, page379 recorded the sale of "120 acres lying in the county of Tyrell on the north side of Buck

Page 76: The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VAeazier1/Cherry/CHERRY-Pgs401-500.pdfThe CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 401 There was an advertisem ent in Pickens District, SC, on

Swamp branch" from Southey Hayslip to John Cherry on 1 May 1763 for £14/8. Book 4,page 490, recorded 200 acres being sold to John from Thomas Beach on 28 October 1765.Much of this land was later sold to Thomas Eastwood, husband of Ruth Cherry [C1a5c], andto Joseph Biggs (husband of Margaret Eastwood, Ruth Cherry's daughter), leaving John withabou 641 acres (one square mile). Therefore, John spent his last years in Tyrrell Co NC.

John Cherry left a will in Tyrrell Co, dated 11 March 1766 (Book 1, page 40), whereit was probated in October that year. John could not write, and made his mark. He left his"plantation where I now live" to his son Daniel; son John received the plantation on BuckBranch. Witnesses were John Bennett, William Ward, and Ruth Eastward. The will namedhis wife Mary to be the executor, and named five children-1. Jesse Cherry, b 4 Jul 17402. Daniel Cherry, b c17413. John Cherry Jr, b c17434. Elizabeth Cherry, b c17455. Martha Cherry, b c1747Note that in 1766, the west end of Tyrell Co, the northeast corner of Pitt Co, the northwestcorner of Beaufort Co, and the southern tip of Halifax Co all met at a common point. MartinCo was formed in 1774 just north of Pitt and Beaufort Counties, taking the southern end ofHalifax Co and the western end of Tyrrell Co. (57,69,77,90,DK,WD,28p,4p,3t,1zs)

John Cherry Jr [C1a8c3], son of John Cherry and Mary Jordan of Tyrrell Co NC, wasborn around 1743, probably in Tyrrell Co. He served 84 months in Revolutionary Army,from 1776 to 1783. His term of service in the Revolution places his birth date at least by1760. For this service he was paid £105/18/10. John married Sarah _____ and lived inBeaufort Co NC. He was listed on the Beaufort Co tax roster of 1764. On 6 November 1766in Beaufort Co John was allowed claim of £80 for a slave named Luke who was executed.John was again found in Beaufort Co in 1779 on a tax roster. On 20 July 1781 John pur-chased from Hugh Parker of Wilmington, NC, the boat "Snake" for 20 guineas. John wasJohn Cherry Sen in the 1790 Beaufort Co census because his younger cousin John CherryJun [C1a8f2] lived next to him-a. Bethena Cherry, b abt 1765, married James Ball soon before 1790. Evidence is strong

that Bethena was a Cherry, but evidence of who her parents were is weak. Because ofthe birth dates of her children, Bethena must have been born by the late 1770s, perhaps1778, or more likely before. Of the Cherry men of Beaufort Co in 1790 who were of ageto be her father, there were Samuel Cherry, John Sen, or Charles Cherry, she issurmised to be a daughter of John Sen from the 1790 census. Charles Cherry left a willin Beaufort Co dated 12 September 1805 which named his children; Bethena was notone of them. In 1810 Bethena and her husband James Ball lived three doors from JohnCherry Jun [C1a8f2], Bethena's first cousin (son of Charles Cherry) and four doorsfrom John Cherry Sen (probably Bethena's father). In 1790 in Beaufort Co James Balland Bethena lived in a sequence of the following families, on census page 449A:Lemuel Cherry, John Cherry Sen (Bethena's father), John Cherry Jun [C1a8f2], JohnBeachem, Ann O'Merry, James Ball, Mary Ball, two Hodge families, and Jacob Brown.On the three prior census pages 448A, 448B, and 448C, there were no Cherry families;the next Cherry after page 449A was Charles Cherry on page 449B. Nathan Cherry wason page 451C, a long distance away, and the two Ball families on page 449A were the

Page 77: The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VAeazier1/Cherry/CHERRY-Pgs401-500.pdfThe CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 401 There was an advertisem ent in Pickens District, SC, on

The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 477

only Ball families in the county in 1790. So Bethena's Cherry ancestors were likely tobe John Cherry Sen. John Cherry Jun was recently married, and had no children; he wasborn in 1768, too young to be Bethena's father. John Cherry Sen, on the other hand, wasa generation older. Mary Ball was probably James Ball's mother. In her home in 1790were three females, including Mary.

The 1800 census was re-written and put in a roughly alphabetical order, so we can-not see who each neighboring family was. But in James Ball's home then were: JamesBall, born 1756-1774; his wife, born 1755 or before; and two males and two femalesof ages to be children. In 1810 James and Bethena lived in Beaufort Co (census page106). Next door was John Swanner, Fanny Brown, and Nathan Brown.

In the 1810 census James Ball was on (page 106); their nearby neighbors (on page107) were William Cherry, Jeremiah Cherry, John Cherry, and Mercer Cherry. Therewas a John Ball on page 107 also; he was five doors from the four Cherry families.Nathan Brown (born 1766-1784) was also on page 106, three doors from James; JohnSwanner was next door. James Hodges was on page 104 (born 1765 or before, or wasyounger if James was the elderly male and James Jr was one of the sons). James and hiswife in the 1810 census were born 1765 or before; in their home were two sons born1775-1794 and 1795-1800. There were no daughters in 1810.

The 1820 census showed that James and his wife were born 1776-1794. In theirhome there were a son and daughter under age 10. Ball familyn records show that Jamesdied in 1808, so the James Ball found in 1810 and 1820 might have been a son, JamesBall Jr. There was no James Ball in Beaufort Co in 1830, but there were his children,now adults. Bethena died prior to February 1834. In her will she gave one tract of landto Cherry Ball, Nathan Brown, and James Hodges, and in 1834 Hodges sued Ball andBrown to have this land fairly divided so that each can have title to his own separateportion. They petitioned the court to have Charles Holliday, William Gordon, EdwinGorham, Thomas Latham, and Jeremiah Cherry be the ones to divide their land.Matthew Shaw was the spokesman who represented Ball and Brown. The land to bedivided was surveyed and partitioned in May 1834. Bethena and James had children-1. Wilson Ball, b 1801 – 1861. He married Margaret _____ and lived at Tranters

Creek, Beaufort Co. She was born in 1804 in NC. They had four children by 1860-a. LucindaBall, b 1830 and married a Mr Woolard by 1860. (4q)b. Wilson Ball, b 1836 (4q)c. Niles Ball, b 1838 (4q)d.

One of the witnesses to Nathan Brown's 1839 will was Matthew Shaw, the husband ofJeremiah Cherry's daughter Hannah Cherry. This Jeremiah Cherry [C1a8f3] (born1769) was a son of Charles Cherry and Winifred Mercer, and was probably theJeremiah Cherry chosen to help divide the land which Bethena Cherry gave in her will.Note that Bethena was not a daughter of Charles Cherry, Jeremiah Cherry's father,because Charles left a will which named his children; Bethena was not one of them.The 1810 Beaufort Co census had 42 pages (pages 90 to 131). There were almost 900White families in the whole county. The Cherry families were on pages 104 (Henry &Lemuel) and page 107 (Jeremiah, John, Mercer & William). James Ball and Bethenawere on page 106; the only other Ball family was John Ball on page 107 next to thefour Cherry families just mentioned. (4hyp)

John Cherry [C1a8k1], son of Samuel M Cherry and Mary Moore, was born in theearly 1760s in Pitt Co NC (although the 1800 census of Pitt Co shows him to be age 45 orolder.) He was not named in his father's will, although the rest of his brothers and sisterswere. John married Nancy Manning around 1785, and they lived in Pitt Co for the rest oftheir lives. She was about the same age as John. He was a farmer, and represented Pitt Coin the House of Commons. In 1790 he was the only John Cherry in the county, was married,and a young boy and two other females were in his household, and no slaves. In 1800 he wasstill the only John Cherry, and the young boy was no longer with him, but he still had his twodaughters, and owned four slaves. In 1810 there was a second John Cherry as the head of hishome in Pitt Co (John Cherry, son of Lemuel Cherry and Nancy Ann Moring, a close cousinto the elder John, the politician). In 1810 John the politician was living next door to WilliamCherry (brother of the other John), had three sons in their late teens/early twenties, twodaughters under the age of 10, a wife younger than John, and owned two slaves. The otherJohn Cherry had almost the same family profile in 1810, except that two of the three sonswere in the next younger age bracket. The second John Cherry was near the end of the listingfor the county. It appears that the census taker had listed the younger cousin twice (or hadlisted a third John Cherry), and omitted John the politician in 1810. In 1810 and in 1820 theJohn who lived closer to Roderick Cherry was the younger cousin John. The 1820 census,though, does list politician John's wife Nancy. She was over age 45 or older, and had oneyoung boy aged between 10 and 15 in her home (he could have been a grandson). The 1820census of Pitt Co showed only one John Cherry in the county, age 26 to 44; this must havebeen the younger cousin.

A deed from Allen Moore (Book B, page 355) in February 1822 to "Nancy M Cherrywidow of John Cherry" places John's death by February 1822. Since he was not found in thecounty in 1820, his death was probably before then, but after 9 August 1814 when hereceived land from his father (Book T, page 338). John died in Pitt Co. His wife Nancy wasnot found after 1820, so may have died in the decade after then, or lived with an adult child.John and Nancy had at least three children-a. Margaret Cherry, b abt 1782b. Sarah Cherry, b abt 1784c. John Cherry, b 1780sd. probably other children. (57,77,C,WD,7aehiz)

John Cherry [C1a8f2], son of Charles Cherry and Winifred Mercer, was born about1768 in Beaufort Co NC. He married Mary _____ about 1789 or 1790 since the 1790 censusshowed no children, just John and one female. He was called John Cherry Jun then, livingnext door to John Cherry Sen. John received from his father's 1805 will the land where Johnwas then living, land next to Samuel Boutwell and _____ Williams. John lived next to hisbrothers William, Jeremiah, and Mercer in Beaufort Co in 1810. He left his will in BeaufortCo dated 26 July 1836 (Book C, page 98); it was probated in March 1839, so he probablydied early that year in Beaufort Co. Mary was not found as the head of her own home in 1840in Beaufort Co, and in 1820 there was no female in John's household who would have beenold enough to be the mother of his children. Therefore Mary probably died between 1815and 1820. In 1820 in his household were two young men (Jared and Lemuel?), a youngwoman (Winifred?), and a young girl under the age of 10 (a granddaughter?). John namedsix children in his will-

John Cherry [C1a5c3b], son of James Cherry and Sarah _____, was born about 1770in Tyrrell Co NC. He was living with his parents in 1790 in Martin Co, and was not yet mar-ried. He was not found in Martin Co in 1800 nor in 1810. (1aehp)

John Cherry [C1a8j3], son of Lemuel Cherry and Nancy Ann Moring, was born in the1780s in Pitt Co NC (born 1766-1784 per 1810 census, born 1776 and 1794 per 1820census). He took his cousin John Cherry's seat in the House of Commons after cousin Johndied (1810 to 1822). John was one of two John Cherrys in Pitt Co in 1810 (the other was hisolder cousin, the politician son of Samuel Cherry). There was only one John Cherry in PittCo in 1820. He was born between 1776 and 1794, was living between two Bell families, andhad a wife of about the same age, and two boys born between 1805 and 1810. He owned landin the Greenville area because in 1828 land was bought from John Cherry about five milessoutheast of Greenville, and a poor house or County Home was astablished there. Hischildren in 1810 were-

Part of the boundary of the new Pitt Co was "all that part of Beaufort County to thewestward of Cherry Run..." (57,104,7aehi)

John Cherry [C1a7d4b], son of Lemuel Cherry and Sarah McPherson, was born about1785 in Norfolk Co VA. The 1850 Jackson Co TN census did not show his or his wife’s birthplaces. John, with his brothers Wilson and Cary, were in the Battle of New Orleans on 7 &8 January 1815. They served in Captain Henry West's Company, 3rd Regiment, TennesseeMilitia (Infantry). John was found in Jackson Co in 1820, and there are tax records of himin 1803 in Jackson Co. There were only two John Cherry families in TN in 1820: John MCherry in Wilson Co, two counties west of Jackson Co (there were no Cherry families inWilson Co in 1830), and John Cherry (born 1786-1794) in Jackson Co. Also in Jackson Cowere William Cherry (born 1795-1804), Lemuel Cherry (born 1785 or before), and CaryCherry (born 1786-1794) families. Brother Wilson was often shown as William on otherrecords, but in the 1820 Jackson Co census he had two sons under age 10, and a third son age10-15. The only Cherry families in Jackson Co in 1830 were John, and brothers Cary andWilson Cherry. John’s wife in the 1820 census was born 1776-1794. In the 1830 census shewas born in the 1780s.

John married Nancy Odle, probably in the early 1830s, and died in the 1850s in JacksonCo. Nancy was born in 1805 in VA, daughter of Daniel Odle. The older female in the 1830census with John was John’s age, born in the 1780s, so she wasn’t Nancy. Since there wasa twenty year age difference between them, and since he had children born in 1804, thenNancy was a second or third wife, whom he married in the early 1830s. After John died,Nancy married widower Isaac Wilson in the 1850s and lived with him in Barren Co KY (sonLemuel and some children of son Pleasant also lived in Barren Co). Nancy was still alive in1880, living with granddaughter Margaret Cherry (daughter of son Lemuel Cherry), inBarren Co. Nancy probably died in Barren Co in the 1880s. Note: Barren Co KY was thenjust two counties north of Jackson Co TN. John apparently had many children, or else someof the children in the pre-1850 census records were step-children or were grandchildren. Thechildren of his brothers Wilson and Cary are accounted for, so any Cherry person bornbetween 1804 and about 1830 and who was in the Jackson Co TN area and who cannot beplaced as a child of Wilson or Cary, then must be John’s child-1.

John Cherry [C1a9k1c], son of John Cherry and Nancy Manning, was born late in the1780s in Pitt Co NC. He was probably dead by 1800 since he was not living with his parentsin 1800. (57,77, 7ae)

John Cherry [C1a5e2g], son of Joshua Cherry and Martha R Keene, was born 1December 1796 in Bertie Co NC. He grew up in Davidson and Rutherford Counties TN. (C)

John Cherry [C1a8f2d], son of John Cherry and Mary ____ (Perkins?), was born about1799 in NC and lived in Beaufort Co. He was called John Sr after his father's death, but JohnJr before. He was age 51 in 1850 with wife Prucy, age 45, and had two or three childrenthen. There was a second John Cherry in the area, born in 1801, who had a wife Theresa in1850, born in 1810, then had a wife Parthenia in 1860, born in 1825 (see his biography fol-lowing this one). The 1840 BeaufortCo census showed two John Cherryfamilies; one was at Washington Twp,and the other at Tranters Creek. TheWashington Twp John had immediateneighbors Benjamin, Jeremiah, J R,Patty and Lamb Cherry; Patty was afree Black woman, al l others wereWhite. This John Cherry was born inthe 1780s , t he only female in h ishome was born 1801-1810, and therewere two males in his home, born1831-1835. The J R Cherry l ivingnext door was born 1811-1820. Theonly male Cherry in th is group offamilies who was born about 1800was Lamb Cherry, born 1801-1810.

The John Cherry at TrantersCreek in 1840 had neighbors with thenames of Wollard, Ball , Swanner ,Beachum, Singleton Crandall, Leg-gitt, Hodges, Jackson, plus James Cherry, Henry Cherry [C1a5b1b1], and Willis Cherry[C1a5b1b1c], all familiar names connected to Cherry families of later years. One of the Ballneighbors was Cherry Ball. Neighbors James Cherry at Tranters Creek was born 1801-1810

and lived alone; Henry Cherry, born 1771-1780, probably had no wife, and people (children& grandchildren?) in his home then were born between 1811 and 1836. Willis Cherry, nextdoor neighbor to Henry, was born 1811-1820 as was his wife; their two children were bothborn 1836-1840. The John Cherry at Tranters creek was born 1801-1810; his wife was born1821-1825, and they had two sons in their home born 1826-1830. All these just namedTranters Creek families in 1840 were on two consecutive census pages, (274-276). (Eachcensus "page" has two sheets of info to make up one actual page; there were nine censuspages 272 thru 280 in 1840 for Beaufort Co). On census page 272 in1840 was Henry CherryJr and his wife, both born 1811-1820; their son was born 1836-1840.

These two John Cherry men, being of such close ages, causes conflicts in indentifyingthem. The elder John left his will in Beaufort Co dated 21 July 1868, and died on 6 August1869 in Beaufort Co; his will was in probate on 29 January 1870. The executor was JeremiahR Cherry. Prucey was still living in Washington Township in Beaufort Co in 1870 (called"Prusia" then). The will in question stated "I give and bequeath to my son Geo W Cherry 75acres of land adjoining the lands of W H Willard & others; the condition of the above is thatif Geo W Cherry should died without lawful heirs that the above named land shall descendto the heirs of Hester A Ball." Nowhere in the will or following records was any wife of thisJohn Cherry named. Later land records concerning George and his son William show thatthey were sued by Jordan D Chancey because George was reducing the value of the land bycutting its trees. Apparently Jordan Chancey had loaned George some money, and the 75acres was used as collateral for the loan, and by cutting trees on the land, it reduced the landvalue. These court records concerning the tree cutting show that George W Cherry's sonWilliam was under age 21 on 11 December 1886, and a further description of the land showsthat other neighbors of this land in 1886 were John C Slaughter and William Stancil. The1870 census shows just two George Cherry males in Beaufort Co. One was age 36 then (born1834),and was living alone; the other was 18 years old (born 1852), son of John Cherry andwife Parthenia _____, and the three of them lived at Washington Twp, Beaufor t Co.Therefore, George, son of the John Cherry who died in 1869, must be the elder George. The1850 census shows this George and his sister Hester as children of John Cherry who wasborn in 1799 and lived at Tranter's Creek (family # 970). That John's wife was Prucey _____.In the meanwhile, the younger John Cherry, the one born in 1801, was also at Tranters Creek(family #945) living with his wife Theresa _____ (1810 NC) and with a combined family ofBeachem, Crandalell, Ball, Cordon, and Rainer names. This younger John had no childrenwith a Cherry name in 1850, and by 1860 had married Parthenia. This was not the JohnCherry who wrote the 1868 will since he and Parthenia were still living in Beaufort Co in1870 and 1880.

Neither of these two John Cherry men (born about 1800) were found in 1840; perhapsthey were living with their wives' families, or lived with married sisters. In 1830 in BeaufortCo "John Cherry for Jno" was age 30-39 (born 1790s), lived with his wife and had nochildren. She was age 20-29, born between 1801 and 1810. This wife was Prucey's age,John's wife from the 1850 census. This must be the elder John. Eleven doors away was JohnCherry, born in the 1760s and one woman in his home were born in the 1790s and the otherin the 1800s. The young man in this elderly John's home was born in the 1800s. This Johnwas probably the father of the John who was born in 1799 and who married Prucey. Otherfamily names in this neighborhood were Crandall, Jackson, and Cole. This was the Washing-ton Twp District (census page 10). There was no sign of the younger John Cherry living inhis own home, the one born in 1801. But at Tranters Creek was Humphry Cherry and Henry

The CHERRY FAMILIES Of EARLY NORFOLK Co VA 485

Cherry; living near them (census page 12) were Woolard families, Wilson Ball, Singletonand Leggett families, Thomas L Jackson, and three Perry families. Henry was born in the1760s; he appears to be without a wife, but in his home were six females of age to bechildren or grandchildren, born between 1801 to 1825, and a son born 1801-1810, and twoboys born in the late 1810s. It could be that an older adult child was married and some of thevery young children were Henry's grandchildren. Humphry, five doors away, was born in the1780s. His wife was born in the 1790s, and a daughter was born 1816-1820. Two boys inHumphry's home were born 1816-1820, one 1821-1825, and two 1826-1830. Only fourCherry families were found in 1830 in Beaufort Co. But using the 1840 and 1850 censusinfo, it appears that the elder John Cherry was a son of the John Cherry born in the 1760s,and the younger John Cherry was a son of Henry Cherry [C1a5b1b1].

In Beaufort Co in 1820 there was a John Cherry Sen and a John Cherry Jur. Senior wasborn in before 1775, and Junior was born 1785-1804; he wasn't married, but a brother livedwith him. A second John Cherry born in the 1785-1804 years was not found, but in HenryCherry's home there was a son of that age.

Henry Cherry in Beaufort Co in1810 (census page 104) had two sons under age 10;Henry was born 1766-1784 and his wife was the same age. They also had three daughtersunder age 10. Lamb Cherry, born 1765 or before, lived next door, as did Jesse Swanner Jr.Jesse Swanner Jr and his wife were born 1785-1894; they had two sons under age 10. JohnCherry (census page 107) was born 1765 or before had two sons born in the 1790s, and fiveother children, but no wife. Close neighbors were William Cherry (1785-1794), JeremiahCherry (1766-1784), and Mercer Cherry (1766-1784), all living next to each other. John Ball(1765+) was close by.

There were two John Cherry men of about the same birth year in Beaufort Co. The Johnwho had married Parthenia was not the one who died in 1869. The elder John Cherry, bornin 1799, and who married Prucey _____ who was born in NC in 1803, was the father ofGeorge and Hester Cherry. In 1850 they lived at Tranters Creek, but were not found inBeaufort Co in 1840. In 1870 widow "Prusia Cherry" lived at Washington, Beaufort Co mextdoor to her son George, and Niles Ball. This Niles Ball was age 30 then, born about 1840,and did not appear to be married. John and Prucey had children-1. George W Cherry, b 1834. He married Mary E Swanner on 31 October 1872 in Wash-

ington Twp, Beaufort Co. She was age 28 when married, born in 1844. (4nm)2. Hester A Cherry, b 1843. She married Niles Ball by 1868. Niles was still alive on 28

July 1894, but Hester had already died and left 75 acres to her three living children.This land was next to Joshua Corey's land which Corey bought from George Cherry,and was also next to William H Stancil's and Cherry's Mill Swamp. Hester's land wasalso described "formerly owned and possessed by one John Cherry who died in Beau-fort Co aforesaid on or about the year 1870, leaving a last will and testament ...) At theland sale on 4 April 1898, Henry C Cherry bought the land for $125. Niles was age 61then (born in August 1836). In 1870 Niles lived alone, next door to Hester's mother andbrother George. In 1850 and 1860 Niles lived at Tranter's Creek with his parents WilsonBall (1801 NC) amd Margaret _____ (1804 NC). Next door in 1850 was Jack Cherry(1803 NC) and Jack's wife / sister Tharry Cherry (1790 NC). Also next door wasBenjamin Cherry (1809 NC) and son Joel Cherry (1834 NC). Niles married Melissa A_____ (1857 NC) about 1888 as his second wife. His children with Hester were-a. Wiley Ball, sold his inherited land to his father before June 1894. (4y)

Note that Anna Cherry [C1a8-f2a], John's elder sister of Beaufort Co, married James Swanner who was born in 1790. Alsotwo doors away in 1850 was Jane Cherry, born in 1811 in NC and her six Cherry children,ages 16 to 3. Two doors away was (widow?) Winifred Cherry, born 1795 in NC, with twoyounger Cherry females. Next to Winifred was (widow?) Mary Cherry, born in NC in 1784with three adult Cherry children. All these Cherry families were four of six families, allgrouped together. They obviously must be closely related. (4inpy)

John Cherry [C1a6e6d], son of Abner Cherry, was probably born about 1800 in MartinCo NC. He may have been the John V Cherry of Randolph Co GA (the portion which becameStewart Co GA in late 1830) who was appointed to be in charge of a team to lay out a roadfrom Lumpkin to Columbus on 26 September 1830. Others in charge William Dixon andJames W Dunaway. (77,118,1aep)

John Cherry [C1a5b1b1b], son of Henry Cherry Jr and an unknown mother, was bornin 1801 in Beaufort Co NC, and lived there into the 1880s. His wife was Theresa _____(Beachum?) in 1850, born in 1810. She and John lived st Trasnters Creek in 1840, then in1850 lived with Olden Beachem (1805 NC), in a home that was a combination of Beachem,Ball, and Crandell family names. Next door was another of these combined families, withBeachem, Cherry, and Blackmer family names. The death certificate of son Webb Cherrynamed Webb's parents as "Jack Cherry and "Miss Ball," both born in Beaufort Co. John'swife in 1860 was Parthenia E Ball (Webb's mother), born in 1825. Parthenia died early in1884, before March 11. In John's home in 1860 were nine children, with their ages: EdwardCherry, 16; Joshua Cherry, 14; James Cherry, 13; John Cherry, 11; George Cherry, 9; Wil-liam Cherry, 7; David Cherry, 6; Sarah Cherry, 6; and Rhodes Cherry, 4/12. Sarah Cherry,age 6, was shown last. Why these same older children, if they were John's children, were notliving with John in 1850 is not known. In 1850, Joshua Cherry, age 5 and John Q Cherry, age11, lived next door with Sarah Cherry (1805 NC), who was living with Catherine Beachum(1820 NC) and Harriett Beachum (1815 NC) in the Tranters Creek area. Also in their homewere Edward Blackmer, age 8, and James Blackmer, age 2. These four boys all had theCherry name in the 1860 census, with three of them with closely matching ages from bothcensuses. The 1850 and 1860 census indicate that Mrs Sarah Cherry (1805 NC) might havefirst married a Mr Beachum and had children, then when he died she married a Mr Cherryabout 1840 and had two more sons.

John apparently had seven children by 1860, but in 1850 some of them lived next doorwith Mrs Sarah Cherry (1805 NC). These seven were born between 1844 and 1854; John'sson Perman was not living with them in 1860. Theresa was the mother of this son, andprobably some of his older Cherry children. All living children from George W and thoseborn after were listed as John's children in the 1880 census, and l ivedd with John andParthenia.

John owned land which he put in trust for his and Parthenia's children; James R Grishwas the trustee for this land and it's subsequent sale, if any. He was supposed to pass the salemoney to Parthenia and her children. John sold some of this land in December 1880 and heldthe note, which the buyers paid on. But Mr Grish died after the land sale, and therefore, ina probate petition dated 19 July 1881 in Beaufort Co, brought by Parthenia and her children,a new trustee had to be chosen. That new person was Robert T Hodges. This petition namedJohn's wife Parthenia E Cherry and all their (then) eight living children; It also stated thatJohn had died earlier that year. "W G Cherry" (son William G) was the guardian of hissiblings still under age. Furthermore, William G Cherry had petitioned the court to name himas the guardian of his four youngest siblings in February and March 1880, and force the saleof some of the trustee land not yet sold. Their father was still alive then; he didn't die until16 April 1881, at home, about 3½ miles north of the town of Washington. Hence, John musthave been senile at that time. An early 1884 petition for the fair title transfer and divisionof the remaining unsold part of this trustee land, then held by the recently deceasedParthenia, was meant to be pass her land to her children. This land's boundaries wasdescribed that was given to each child. And part of the description stated "... under whichthe same was held by their deceased father John Cherry, excepting, however, that part if any,which is involved in the law suit of Bernice Cherry as the heirs of John Cherry decd ..."

Bernice Cherry's lawsuit was begun on 28 October 1879, more than three years after thegrievence had happend, and was against her neighbor John Cherry, before he died. (Bernicemay have been a daughter from a prior marriage, or a sister?) Bernice Cherry's lawsuitpassed on to John's heirs after he died: Webb G Cherry (also called W G Cherry), BenjaminHodges, Niles Ball, Taylor CSavannnah City Cemeteryherry, Adelaide Cherry, Mary Cherry,Milford Cherry, Sarah Cherry, and others. on 27 May 1880 further defendants were added:George W Cherry, William A G Cherry and Doris Cherry. This lawsuit was concerning landboundaries, and was next to Jeremiah Cherry's land. This lawsut was because of inaccurateland boundary lines, and some of the defendants had encroached upon Bernice's land, whichwas from "inheritance from their deceased father John Cherry." This lawsuit was settled inFebruary 1886. Another person named in ths land division in the Spring of 1884 was "TaylorT Cherry."When John died, he left no will, and had children from two (or three?) wives.Those children shown below who were born before Webb G Cherry must have been childrenfrom John's prior marriage(s) since they were not named in the petitions dating from1880,but were named in court records of John's daughter Bernice-1. Bernice Cherry, b 18272. dau Cherry, married Benjamin Hodges. (4y)3. dau Cherry, married Niles Ball. There was a Niles Ball at Tranters Creek in 1840. He

was born in the 1790s, and his wife was born 1801-1810. They had six children by then:two daughters born 1826-1830, two sons born 1831-1835, and two daughters born1836-1840. (4y)

Washington, Beaufort Co in 1900, and his wife was Emma Louise Moore, born inMarch 1870. They married on 28 November 1886 in Beaufort Co, and in the marriagerecord, he was age 33 (born 1853). This was his second marriage, Emma's first. In 1910they were still at Washington, and his age was then 58 (born about 1851); Emma wasage 39 (born 1870). Webb was generally called W G Cherry in his earlier years, but wasWilliam from the 1890s. Emma was born 8 June 1869 in Martin Co, daughter ofWilliam W Moore and Harriett Mizell, and died 29 March 1962 at Washington, Beau-fort Co. She was buried in Oakdale Cemetery at Washington.

He had no money to pay his debts,but he did own one-quarter of two tracts of land, 190 acres and 35 acres, which he andhis three younger sibl ings inheri ted from their father. Hence, Millard's estateadministrator, A Mayo, sued the three younger siblings to force a sale of their land sothat Millard's debts could be paid. Just the 35 acre tract was sold at public auction; thewinning bid of $100 was made by Emma L Cherry on 4 December 1893. She was the

12. Virginia Adalade "Addie" Cherry, b 7 Jul 1861. She was a minor child in July 1881named in her father's probate records. Addie died 2 March 1921 in Beaufort Co and wasburied in Oakdale Cemetery at Washington, Beaufort Co. She never married. In 1920she lived with her sister-in-law Emma Moore, widow of Addie's brother Webb Cherry.(4rspwc)

13. John Rhodes Cherry, b 1864 (age 4 in1870, 16 in 1880). He was a minor child in July1881. (4rsp)

14. Mary P Cherry, b 1867. She was a minor child in July 1881. (4rsp)Living next door to John and Partnenia in 1870 was Mr Cherry Ball (1803 NC) and his wifeSarah _____ (1805 NC), and four children; the two youngest were likely grandchildren.There were two John Cherry marriages in Beaufort Co NC in the 1850s: John Cherrymarried Polly Ann Macky on 5 May 1853. And John Cherry Jr married Barthena E Ball on21 Dec 1858 in Beaufort Co; R C Cherry JP performed the ceremony. The 1860 census forBeaufort Co showed three John Cherry men: John who was born about 1801 and who wasmarried to Parthenia _____; John who was born in 1842 and was an unmarried son ofWilliam Cherry (1808 NC); and John who was born in 1849 and who was a son of John andParthenia. Hence, the John who married Polly Ann and the John who married Barthena wasnot in the county. A Search of a Mrs Polly Cherry and a Mrs Barthenia Cherry in theBeaufort Co area found neither woman. (4qmpy)

The Cherry children next door living with Sarah Cherry (1805 NC) in 1850 were JohnV Cherry, born 1839, and Joshua Cherry, born 1846. In 1860 Joshua lived with John andParthenia Cherry, and John V Cherry in 1870 lived with Sarah Cherry (1805 NC) in Beau-fort Co, next door to Willis Cherry (1805 NC). She must have been his mother. The mother/ aunt of these neighboring Cherry sons appears to be John Cherry's sister-in-law, born in1805 in NC. A different Sarah Cherry, also born in 1805 in NC, lived with her husband BallCherry in 1870 and lived next door to John and Parthenia then. Mr Ball Cherry was bornin NC in 1803. In their home in 1870 were possible children Samuel and Richard Cherry,born in 1846 and 1852, plus two probable grandchildren Richard and William Cherry, born1860 and 1862. It would appear this Sarah Cherry was a sister-in-law of John,and in the1850 census her husband was elsewhere, then was dead by 1860.

Living ten doors away in 1860 were widower Jeremiah Richard Cherry [C1a8f3b] andfive children: Cleopatra Cherry, born 1842; Mary F Cherry, born 1847; E M Cherry, born1851; Richard Walter Cherry, born 1854; and R B Cherry, born 1856.

John Cherry [C1a7d4b1], son of John Cherry and Nancy Odle of Jackson Co TN, wasborn in 1804 in Jackson Co TN. He married Telitha Denton by 1831. She was born in 1806in TN, daughter of Isaac Denton and Rebecca Etheridge. John died by 1841, probably inJackson Co where Telitha was living in 1850. She was not found in 1860, nor was Johnfound in Jackson Co in 1840. They had four children-a. dau Cherry, married _____ Miller by 1850 and had two children-

John Cherry [C1a3f1a], son of Theophilus Cherry of Norfolk Co VA, was named inhis father's April 1804 will. There were three John Cherrys in Lower Norfolk Co VA in1785, and since John's father had eight children, but only four or five of them were at homein 1785, John was likely living in his own home then. (28pa)

John Cherry [C1a3f1f1], son of Maxey Cherry and Lydia Deal, was born between 1793and 1804 in Norfolk Co VA. (28pam)

John Cherry [C1a8j4a], probably a son of George Cherry and Nancy _____ of Pitt CoNC, was born about 1805 in Pitt Co NC. He married Mary Ann Albritton about 1829. Shewas born about 1808 in NC, daughter of Luke Albrit ton who had served in the NCLegislature, and Agnes _____. John would have been a young teen in 1820. The 1820 censusshowed four Cherry families on census page 510 (Capt Moorning's District): Nancy Cherry,Ormand Cherry, Hillery Cherry, and Nathan Cherry. These four families lived in a closegroup. In these families, it was Nancy Cherry and Hillery Cherry who had a son of John'sage; Nathan was an old man then without any sons in his home, and Ormand had no sons, buthad a young wife and one young daughter. In Hillery's home, in addition to his son, he hadthree daughters and a wife. In Nancy's home, the teenage boy (John?) was the only personbeside Nancy. Nancy was born in 1875 or before. She lived next door to Joel Albritton, whowas age 45 or older. On the prior census page, page 509 and nine doors from Nancy Cherry,was Luke Albritton, John Cherry's future father-in-law. Luke Albritton had two daughters;one was Mary Ann Albritton's age. On census page 518 (Capt Andrews District), there wasRodrick Cherry, but he had only one son under age 10. On census page 544 (Capt WallisDistrict), there was John Cherry (born 1776-1794), his wife, and two young teen sons. Onpage 546 (Capt Wallis District), there was William Cherry. He was born 1776-1794, wasmarried and had seven children; one of the boys was a young teen.

The 1810 census showed Luke Albritton (and Joel Albritton) on census page 475. Lukehad a daughter under age 10, Mary Ann's age. Hillery Cherry was on census page 487 then,with three sons under age 10; Kinchen Cherry was on page 498, with no sons. There weretwo John Cherry families; one was on page 507 and had no son under age 10. The other Johnwas on page 474 next to Lemuel Cherry, George Cherry, and William Cherry. Of these fourCherry families on page 474, only William and George had a son under age 10. Both Williamand George were born between 1785 and 1794, both were married to wives born between1785 and 1794, and neither had any daughters. They only had one son each. George was notin Pitt Co in 1820 (he died?), but widow Nancy was. William, from the 1820 census, livedquite a distance from Luke Albritton in 1820, but was of age to be the William who livednext to George Cherry in 1810. It would appear that Nancy Cherry from the 1820 census wasGeorge Cherry's widow.

The 1830 census for John was page 86. Roderick Cherry was on page 83; all otherCherry families that census year in Pitt Co were in the Greenville District, pages 71-73.

Luke Albritton was also at Greenville, page 73. When John died in 1839, there was noresulting probate record for him, nor court records concerning his family between 1839 and1842. In 1840 there were two Mary Cherry families in Pitt Co, both on census page 407. Onehad three young boys and two older girls; that Mary was born in the 1780s. The other Maryalso had two young boys, but three older girls, and was born in the 1780s also. Both weremuch too old to be John Cherry's widows, but if the older women in their homes weremothers or mothers-in-law, then the remaining ages for the heads of the home were born1811-1820 for the Mary with the fewer girls in her home, and the Mary with the most girlswas born 1801-1810. This second Mary could have been John's widow. The older of the twogirls living with Mary in 1840 was too old to be a daughter, so may have been Mary'syounger sister. The younger girl was probably Mary's daughter.

Mary Ann married Rippon Wedigan Ward on 23 February 1842 in Pitt Co. She and JohnCherry had three sons and a daughter when she was widowed. This Cherry-Ward family wasliving in Pitt Co in 1850, eight doors from the William Cherry-Talitha Dudley family inParker's District. Rippon Ward raised his Cherry step-children. He was born 26 May 1805and died soon before 5 May 1883 when an article was printed in The Daily Reflector abouthim. Rippon was buried in Fernando Ward's family cemetery at Pactolus, Pitt Co. Mary Anndied in the 1860s. The John Cherry who lived about five miles southeast of Greenville andsold land there in 1828 on which a poor-house was built was most likley John Cherry's uncleJohn Cherry [C1a8j3]. The John Cherry in Pitt Co in the 1830 census appears to be thisJohn; this John Cherry in 1830 and his wife agree with the ages of John and Mary Ann. In1830 there was a grandmother or aunt in the house (age in the 60s in 1830), and two olderteenage boys (too old to be their children), plus a younger boy, born between 1821 and 1825.If the young boy was 5 years old, or had overstated his age to the census taker (wascommonly done), then this young boy could be the first born of John and Mary. John fromthe 1830 census had 23 slaves then. There was no John Cherry in Pitt Co in 1840, , but Marywas there as the head of her home. This Mary Cherry in 1840 was age 1821-1829; an olderwoman was still in her home, age 50-59, plus one daughter and three sons. These sons livedwith Mary and Mr Ward in 1850, but by then Mary's daughter was no longer at home. Thechildren of John and Mary Ann were-1. Tillman R Cherry, b 18282. Penelope Eliza Cherry, b abt 18303. John J Cherry, b May 18334. William A Cherry, b 18385. James Burton Cherry, b 17 Jan 1840Rippon Wedigan Ward was born 26 May 1805, son of Luke Ward (born 15 Jan 1771, died3 Mar 1839) and Lavina Mayo (daughter of Peter Mayo). With her marriage to Ward, MaryAnn had four more children: Mary Melissa & Louisa died in September 1851; Edward T died18 Jul 1859 at the age of 8; and Fernando Ward, born 7 Sep 1844, was the only child whoreached adulthood. He enlisted at the age of 17 with the 17th North Carolina Infantry wherehe served with distinction. Fernando Ward married Julia G Robertson in 1866; she diedsoon afterwards. He then married Julia Penelope Moore on 21 Jan 1869. She was adaughter of Wedigan Mathias Moore II and Eliza Powell. Fernando and Julia had eightchildren: Mary Eliza, Lavina, Jennie, Ada Cherry, Edward Fernando, Corinne, Rippon, andLouise Mosat of these Ward children were buried in in Fernando Ward Family Cemetery atPactolus, Pitt Co.

John Cherry [C1a6h2d], son of Caleb Cherry Jr and an unknown mother, was born in1807 in Davidson Co TN. He lived in Gibson Co in 1840, and in Obion Co TN in 1850 and1860. John's first wife was Sarah Elizabeth Finch, whom he married in Davidson Co TN on26 December 1833. She was born in TN in 1811. Elizabeth died in the early 1850s becauseJohn married Hannah Adamson in Obion Co on 11 September 1853. She was born in 1816in TN (1860 census; 1880 census says born 1811).

John Cherry [C1a8i3q], son of William B Cherry and Frances Taylor, was born in1820 at Richardsville, Warren Co KY. The name John must be incomplete because he hadan older brother named John, and the elder John was living in 1842. Or is John (the younger)the son of John (the elder) named John W Cherry? John (the younger) married CharlotteFord (a sister of Silvia?) in Warren Co on 24 January 1834, and married Silvia Ford inWarren Co on 10 May 1838. Silvia was born in 1820 in KY, daughter of Absolom Ford.There were no known children with Charlotte, but with Silvia he had two children before hedied in 1843. In 1850 John's children were living with his newly married brother George;John's widow had remarried, on 27 December 1843 in Warren Co, to Thomas Kirkpatrick.John's children were-1.
