Thanks Barbara, you`re right I am researching William Cherry we are sure him and Spencer are brothers they both came from Washington Co and Spencer sold William some land. William is such a common Cherry name That we thought we would research Spencer and see what we can find that way. Gaila and I are first cousins.
