Just re-reading some messages and came across this one questioning the Cherry name to Ulysses S. Grant. I too, years ago was told we were related to Grant and I never did pursue it. I'm related to Cherry family through my paternal grandmothers side which was back to Lemuel Cherry. Also, that grandmother had Indian blood and I am continually trying to research that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "grand12ma" <grand12ma@email.msn.com> To: <CHERRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2000 10:04 AM Subject: Re: [CHERRY-L] CHERRY MANSION - SAVANNAH, TN - CIRCA 1830 > I can't help you on this but just wanted to make a comment.

Hello I am the list administrator of the Cherry list. Possibly a Matrix virus is doing the rounds, so be careful of any message you see that advise you to open the Matrix 2 screensaver. Rootsweb doesn't accept attachments and therefore, it will not be spread via the list. Today would be a good day to update you virus definitions. Thanks, Gaila Merrington List Administrator - Cherry list

Delores: I have connections to Cherrys in Pitt Co, NC as well. I have found much valuable information about the Cherry families of that era and area in a family genealogy book titled "North Carolina Cherry Families and Cherry Branches." I believe I found that book in the Manning Genealogy Room at the Martin County Community College Library while on a research trip which included Williamston, NC. As indicated by the "Manning Room," the Manning family was very prominent in that area of Martin Co in the late 1700s and 1800s. Later generations have been very active in researching their genealogy. One of my Howell daughters married a Manning, and I have been so grateful for their very detailed records that they have on file in that library. You might find information you need through contacting that library or the Martin Co. rootsweb site. Martin, Pitt, Edgecombe, and Beaufort Counties all butt together within 20 -- 30 miles of Williamston. Likewise, Bertie is only a few miles north of Williamston .... Halifax was also in there ... with many of the county lines being blended and rearranged in the early years. Tyrell County lines blurb in and out also.... I have found my Howell and their spouses' families have had legal activity in all of them. I am tracking Elizabeth E. Cherry, daughter of Roderick and Jennett (Cherry) Cherry -- cousins prior to marriage; Roderick was son of Samuel and Mary (Moore) Cherry. Elizabeth married Thomas Howell, my ggg grandfather. Their marriage was in abt 1836, Martin Co., she was "of Pitt Co." They moved to Hardeman, TN in 1840. After Thomas Howell's death in 1844, she married Thomas Harrell (think I didn't beat my head against that wall for a couple of years). She, Harrell, the Howell children and their children all moved to Drew Co. AR in 1862. She is buried in Drew Co. Hope this helps. Take care, Margaret Dallas, TX

Thank you David. I'll go to the site and look into it. Your last name is interesting even, because those Penningtons I had listed there are descended from Daniel Boone's baby Sis Hannah. Their mother was a Morgan, with Welsh Heritage. It's fascinating how first names and last names are so well repeated in these lines when you start digging. Thanks again Lisa Hibbs

Hi Lisa, I have some information about the Cherry family on my web site. You can find it at www.oregontrail.net/~dwmorgan I have not found that your information matches with any specific Cherry family members that I have listed, but it certainly appears to be the same family. Your information is the first that I have seen that indicates the source of the name Carey, which you have spelled Cary, and in my line is found in Lovey Carey Cherry who married John H. Morgan in Stewart Co TN. My information is a collection of data gathered from others on the internet and elsewhere, and you should do your own verification if so inclined. You will notice that Loveys mother was Lydia Minerva Daniel. Lydia was born 1778 in NC, and moved to TN with the Cherry clan. She was 50 when Louisa Minerva Cherry was born in TN. You list a Lemuel Cherry being born in VA. A Lemuel G Cherry lived in Stewart Co TN, and was a chain carrier (surveyor work) according to Stewart Co Will extracts. I doubt that they are the same Lemuel Cherry. If you find Lemuel G. Cherry on my web site, and click on him, you will bring up a screen with a little info about him. Just under the name Lemuel G Cherry, there is in brackets the following: NI3890. If you click on that, it will down load a notes file, and it will take you to a section with some of the notes about the Cherry family in Stewart Co TN, as posted from the will extracts by Jim Long. Here is a link to the source of that information: http://www.telalink.net/~scaevola/stewco.htm David Morgan

I am looking for information on John Cherry and his wife Nancy Manning. He died 1822 in Pitt Co North Carolina and represented Pitt in the House of Commons. Father was Samuel Cherry. I need his wifes parents and his date of birth. Their daughter Margaret Cherry married John Thigpen, son of Sallie Thigpen and Dr. Francis Thigpen. Thanks

I have a little information on a John Cherry II born about 1641 who married Rebecca Maund in 1662, Norfolk Co Va, and their descendants. There is a Lemuel Cherry who married a Namcy Morning. The line I am researching from him moved to North Carolina. The information is from the book "The Thigpen Tribe.". I have a Margaret Cherry who married John Thomas Thigpen that I am tracing. You can email me at tousinau@bellsouth.net if you are interested.

Posted on: Cherry Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/che/Cherry/41 Surname: Cherry, Schenz, Gotz, Jones, Fahnestock ------------------------- I am looking for info on my great grandparents, Emma Cherry Jones (1887-1975) and Charles William Jones (1882-1930 or 32). Charles last name was Fahnestock, but he changed it to Jones. Emma's parents were: Elisabetha Gotz of either France or Germany. Jacob Schenz (is either her father or grandfather) was naturalized in Wilkes-Barre, PA in 1858. I think the last name was changed to Cherry. Charles Parents were: Emanuel Fahnestock from Germany Henrietta nee Leluck I think of Germany also Emma was born in 1887 and died in Wilkes-Barre, PA in 1975 Charles was born in 1882, Juniata County, PA and died 1930-32 from a coal mine accident in or near Luzerne COunty, PA.

Hi! I am still searching for Eliza Cherry, who was born about 1810. I thought that she had been born in Girvan Ayr, Scotland but in a 1851 census it lists her and her husband Francis Hunter as being Irish. When I looked back at the Scottish records -OPR's- it says that they are "of" Girvan. They were married there according to the church records in 1831. Any thing familiar at all. Thanks for your time. Susan

Posted on: Cherry Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/che/Cherry/39 Surname: Cherry ------------------------- I am not familiar with these names. All I know of the connection came from information on a family reunion for the Cherry-Joiner family in Lauderdale, Ms. around the 4th of July. We have moved so I haven't received any invitations in several year. My great aunt Miriam Cherry was very involved in the planning and she died several years ago. My grandmother, Ethel Viola Cherry married Emmett Louis Knight. Does this sound familiar?

Has anyone ran across a Cherie Cherry, mother of Emma (1887-1975), Fred and Annie. She probably would be from Pennsylvania, possibly an immigrant. Please contact me if you have any info. Thanks, Jana Stanley stanleycrafts@aol.com http://hometown.aol.com/stanleycrafts

I hope when we have all eaten our Christmas turkey and ham, that we remember Christmases Past and try to imagine some of the Christmas celebrations our ancestors had. In the New Year, hopefully we will learn more about not just the names and dates, but how they lived and how it affects our lives today. When you are having dinner with your "oldies" this winter see if they can tell you about their winter pasts and maybe you can write down something about you holidays, so your descendants won't have to search as hard as we have to, to learn about how you lived life and celebrated. Wishing everyone a Joyful and Happy Holiday, a Happy, Safe and Prosperous New Year plus some great 2001 genealogy Gaila Cherry List Owner

Jana, After looking at my web page, it looks like I have no direct link to your family. I have an Emma Cherry, but wrong husband and wrong state.

Jana I also have a web page with some of the Cherry family on it. You may wish to take a look. It is at www.oregontrail.net/~dwmorgan It is a bit out of date, as I have not updated it in the last year. I have not had a genealogy program to work with in that time, so have not done any real work on it recently. If I can get a genealogy program running in Linux I will be back in business.

Hi Paul My mother is a CHERRY and I have quite a lot of information about those who lived in Marston St Lawrence, Northamptonshire. The furthest I can get back is to Thomas CHERRY, who died in 1756. His father was John CHERRY. My 3 X great grandfather was Edward CHERRY, baptised in Marston St Lawrence in 1805 and moved to London about 1830. If I can be of any help........

I am looking for info on my great grandmother Emma Cherry Jones. She was born in 1887 and died in April of 1975 in Wilkes Barre, PA. I posted a messager about her a day or two ago. I have since found out that she had a brother named Fred Cherry. He served in WWI and fought in France. He apprentley inhaled mustard gas in France and had breathing problems the rest of his life. If anyone has info let me know please. Thanks, Jana at stanleycrafts@aol.com genealogy homepage at http://hometown.aol.com/stanleycrafts
