I know that the cherry familie sare related to the Anderson and Daniel families for sure: Charles Anderson b. 1808 m. ann Cherry Daniel Oct 2, 1836 d/o Aaron Daniel Sr. I beleive while with limited proof...you will find the CHERRY, ANDERSON, DANIEL, KNIGHT ,WOOD, TAYLOR AND COPELAND SURNAMES IN BLADEN COUNTY NC. And further more I am on current search to determine if all these surmanes are found w/i one or two regisments possibly the 2 or 5 NC Continental Line. which would seal it for me that that these people are close friends, and relatives from quite a way back. > > In Houston County, Sandra and I are sure that William, Spencer and Riley are > brothers, all born in NC.
