Greetings from Ohio, I found in a birthday book given to Bettie Borough by Edith Pearson in 1909. It contains wonderful signatures on birth dates, an article and a beautifully written lineage account. I am including quotes from the article and the lineage. Some names in the birthday book: Anderson, Borough, Cherry, Harris, Brock, Weatherford, Pearson, Rutherford and much more! _____ The article is about Zebulon Cherry- here are some quotes from the article... "He put no money in his purse, but he had music in his soul." "He was intensely patriotic during the war for the Union and sang many thrilling war songs at public meetings and always brought down the house." "He was a large, hale and hearty, cheerful kind of man who captivated my boyish imagination." written by Edward Gilbert My grandmother (maternal) was Eliza Ross before her marriage to Zebulon Cherry, my mother's father. Eliza's brother, my mother's Uncle Harris was the father of Sue Ross Cole, George Washington Ross, Spencer Ross, Amanda Ross, Mary Ross, Sarah Helen Ross, Lou Ross. I'm sure that Col. John Ross, whose huge monument is in Waverly Cemetery was Eliza Ross's brother, my great uncle, and Sue Ross's own uncle that would make him Bernard's and Mancie's (sp) great uncle. This little book has provided me wonderful clues in putting together my family tree! >>> <ILMACOUP-D-request@rootsweb.com> 11/05 11:21 AM >>>
