I do know that my John CHERRY was born in New York and is on the 1850 census in Winnebago Co, Illinois.....He died in the Civil War and is buried in St. Louis. His daughter, Julia married James A. SMITH and they had my gr-grandfather, Harry George SMITH. Julia had a brother, James L. and a sister Mary that I haven't found any furthur information about. Her sister Marietta, however, married George SMITH, James's brother! Any connections?
