Jerome, Hardin Co, TN sounded familiar for CHERRY's so I checked my information and found what I was looking for. I don't know if this will help, but will pass along in hopes it may give you some clues. I am also looking for my LILLY ancestors and in so doing found a Noah G. LILLEY who married Mary Curry BARNETT 1807 Smith Co, TN. Most of their children were born in Hardin Co, TN. Two of his children married into the CHERRY family. Margaret LILLEY b 1808 Smith Co, TN d 1840 Hardin Co, TN. Married Noel CHERRY and 2nd to Samuel WATSON. Nancy LILLEY b 1810 Rutherford Co, TN married Jessie CHERRY. Noah LILLEY was listed in the 1820 Hardin Co, TN census. Good luck. Vicki
