Barbara Thanks so much for all this information. I believe that Spencer is related to Riley and William Cherry. He sold land to William. I have the feeling - but no proof- that they are brothers. Sandra and I are cousins and thought we might find more information on Spencer, because tracking William Cherry is very difficult. There were so many William Cherry's. Thanks again for your assistance. Kind regards, Gaila I haven't done any in depth research on Spencer Cherry. I do know that he married Nancy Akins and she is the sister of my 2gg father, Stephen Oscar Akins. Spencer and wife are buried in the Garvin and Askin Cemetery in Centerville, GA: S. C. Cherry b. 5 Oct 1809 d. 9 Nov 1878 his wife Nancy Akins Cherry: b. 24 Apr 1830 d. 30 Sep 1890 1850 Houston Co. Census: #
