In early Bibb County Georgia and Houston County Georgia, there seem to be as many as three seperate Cherry families. In Houston County, Sandra and I are sure that William, Spencer and Riley are brothers, all born in NC. This is not proven, but we have William settling on land that he bought from Spencer and Riley joining them shortly afterwards. They are in the Centerville area. We think that William was a member of the Shiloh Methodist Episcopal Church and may be buried there. Spencer lived in the Henderson district of Houston County (1860 census). There is also a Francis Cherry, born in NC, who had previously lived in Alabama, but moved to the Perry area in Houston County. He was a minister and an editor of a Newspaper. Was he also a brother? In the 1860 Census Bibb County, there were Cherrys: Joel T., John H. Lemuel, Martha, Mary x2, W.A., William x 2. One of these is my William. There was also an Abner Cherry, Hilliard, Joseph,Isaac N and Addison. Does anyone know if these Cherry's are related? I would love to know more about the Bibb County Cherry families to see if there are connections. Thanks Gaila
