A house was built on the site by James Rudd who operated a ferry on the river below. David Robinson bought the site and replaced the house with the one that is there now. Robinson's son-in-law William H. Cherry improved and enlarged the house. William Harrell Cherry was the son of Eli Cherry, grandson of Isham Cherry and great grandson of Jesse Cherry of Martin County, North Carolina. Jesse Cherry was in the State Legislature of Martin County, NC at the time the ratification of the constitution was being put to a vote. Isham went to Hardin County, TN in 1819 and was one of the first magistrates in the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions and was its chairman. Eli was a man of prominence in Hardin County. William Harrell Cherry was a Union sympathizer and thus was a host to Grant before the battle of Shiloh. Mary Ann (Cherry) Kennedy Coppage was my gggg grandmother and a sister to Isham Cherry. June

Hi June, I'm sorry - I didn't find anything. I posted a message just now on the Cherry Forum about the Cherry Mansion. My book did not mention it, I'm sorry to say.

Hello This is the first time I have found some good information. My father will be 89 in August and was born in Savannah, TN. I have been trying to get a lot of information from him, but the memory is not as good as it use to be. I intend to get this information to him and see if he is aware of any of this. Will let you know what I find out. Richard Cherry JUANITA LEWIS wrote: > Hi June, > > I'm sorry - I didn't find anything. I posted a message just now on the > Cherry Forum about the Cherry Mansion.

Hi. I'm trying to discover more about the NC CHERRY family which had 3 ladies marry 3 related HODGES men. I know my query relates to an earlier time than the MANSION, but I was wondering.........
