Dear Pauline: Reveived you recent message about the death of Mary Ellen Cherry Rowe in Aulander NC. I was pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Ahoskie in 1994-96....The Cherry family name is that area is well established.....There have been several lawyers with the name Cherry in that area. Also you will find many slave decendent family's with the name of Cherry......looking in an old phone book I counted roughly 60 or 70 families with the name of Cherry. Also, if you didn't know there was a Governer Cherry for the state of North Carolina back in the l940's or l950's. I did not find any family connection in the the Ahoskie area that could be traced down my family line...the county seat for Hertford County is Winton, NC. Reg. of Deeds office 252-358-7850 Maybe this will be of some help for someone. Rev. Joel D.

Hello My Cherry family is from Bibb County, Ga circa 1840-1950's. The name Joel Cherry was prevalent in this family. My William Cherry born 1804 was born in North Carolina and settled in the Bibb & Houston County areas c1840. I believe his family was in Wilkinson Co, Ga prior to this time.His brothers were Riley and Spencer. We don't know if they were connected to other Cherry families in Bibb and Houston County, including Rev Frederick Cherry, and Joel and Abner Cherry of Bibb County. Sally Cherry married a Rev Sam Hill. I would be interested in any connections to these Cherry families.
