Had they migrated from VA thru NC to SC more or less together? John had a grandson leave SC on a journey in 1813 that would not end until OR in 1847. Did CHERRYs go with him, or did they all stay in SC? Why? Were the 2 families neighbors? Any information at all gratefully taken. >Thanks. Ken of SoCal >
