Does anyone have information on Henry Farris "Hence" Cherry.? He was married to Emma Eliza Parker and lived in Sumter Co. , Ala. She was born Aug.. 8,, 1837 and died May 8, 1929. She is buried at Boney or Old Liberty Church Cemetery in Sumter Co. near her father- in- law the Rev. Jared W. Cherry and his second wife Susan Jenkins, Henry's mother. Henry may have been killed in the Civil War, but I can't find a record. Betty beh@rose.net

Since several of you were asking about the Cherry Mansion, here is what I have found in my files. I had forgotten that I had saved it. This is from the original entry. I am including all this message information just in case someone understands and can benefit from the information it affords. Mary J.

I had promised my mom that I would try to see if anyone knew enough about the Cherry Mansion to try to link it to our Cherry family. I just found a Christmas card with the following information on it while going through her things following her death. Now that I have taken too long to do it for her, I would like to know for myself. Any help would be appreciated. The card reads as follows: THE CHERRY MANSION Circa 1830 Savannah, Tennessee General Ulysses S. Grant was seated for an early breakfast with his staff in the dining room of the Cherry Mansion. The day was Sunday, April 6, 1862. His Army ofthe Tennessee was camped several miles south on the opposite bank of the river around Pittsburgh Landing and Shiloh Church, with a rear guard at Crump Landing, located about halfway between Savannah and Pittsburgh Landing. They were waiting for General Buell and his Army of the Ohio to arrive from Nashville, and the combined forces would attack Corinth, Mississippi, a railroad center. Grant was about to drink his first sip of coffee when he heard distant cannon fire. "Gentlemen," he said as he put his cup down without drinking, "the ball is in motion. Let's be off." He sent word to Buell to march immediately to the point on the river opposite Pittsburgh Landing. Boarding the steamer "Tigress", they then rushed to the battle scene. Mr. W. H. Cherry was owner of the Cherry Mansion at the time of the Civil War. Even though he owned slaves, he was a loyalist and volunteered his mansion for use as headquarters for Union officers. Two Union generals, W. H. L. Wallace and C. F. Smith, died at the Cherry Mansion. Another general, Lew Wallace, a guest at Cherry, later authored the novel Ben Hur. The Cherry Mansion appears today much as it did then. It is now owned by gracious Mr. and Mrs. Bob Guinn, Jr., who have maintained it in much of its original state and with some of its original furniture, including a desk used by Grant. The bricks of the 18-inch thick walls were made by slaves on the riverbank, and the mansion and rock wall were also built using slave labor. It is interesting to note that the house is built on a tiered Indian mound, which itself would provide some fascinating hours of study for a history buff. I have no idea how old this card is or who owns the home now or anything else about the home. Again, I would appreciate any information. Thanks in advance! Bebe Roper Byerly

Posted on: Cherry Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/che/Cherry/10055 Surname: CHERRY, HUNTER, ROBERTSON, JAMEISON ------------------------- Hi! Just decided to have a run at finding ELIZABETH CHERRY again. Her name is listed as both ELIZA and ELIZABETH.I have found her in the OPR records of Girvan, Ayr, Scotland. It says she was born about 1810. She married FRANCIS HUNTER IN 1831 in Girvan. In the 1841 census for Girvan, they are shown living at Wilson Street there.The census also lists their birth as being in Ireland. Records show that she had her last child FRANCES in 1844 there. They are gone in the 1851 census. The next I find the family is in marriage certs for her sons JONES/JONAS and JONATHAN being married in 1857 in Glasgow, where it states that she was deceased on both certs. She also had another son GEORGE. I have that 13 year time span to try and at least locate where she might have been born. Does anyone out there have advice or help? For some reason, every time I sit down, she is in my mind. Thanks for reading my post. Susan in Alberta, Canada

There was quite a bit of information a while back on the Cherry mansion. Perhaps you can write the owner of the list and ask for any references from the past on the Cherry mansion. There is a way you can access old submissions but I don't remember how. Mary J. Marchant
