Just thought I'd sent another installment before heading out to work. There were numerous times in the Cedar Creek minutes when Benjamin Harris was appointed to attend various meetings, and several times when Sarah Harris was also appointed. The items I am posting are a few of these records, but certainly not all. Pam ============================================ John Cheadle {Jr.}, an Elder of Cedar Creek Meeting, was born 1692 in Christ Church Parish, Middlesex Co., Virginia, the son of John & Millicent Hughes Cheadle.
