Hi I looked him up on familysearch.org and it has his spouse & death dates but no children. Also his birth is listed as 26 Feb 1860 in Gallia or possibly 26 Sep 1860 in VA Death 28 Nov 1912 Married to Katie Miles 1886 in Gallia - no birth dates etc for Katie. I have 2 Switzer cousins that married Cherringtons but will have to do more research to see if tied in with this Cherrington.

I have found him in the 1870 and 1880 Springfield Township census records with his parents, Wesley and Susan Cherrington, and then he disappears. The 1880 census says he is a teacher. I haven't been able to locate him in Gallia County cemetery records either. If anyone has any clues, I would appreciate the assistance.

Thank you David and Henny. Actually, I am researching the Rifes. In Gallia County Birth Records, Vol. 2 (1881-1895), I found John Fletcher Cherrington as the father of Della Mertie, born December 22, 1885. Ajesta Rife is listed as the mother. I don't find any record showing that John Fletcher and Ajesta were ever married. Ajesta married Charles E. Boice on August 24, 1889. Della shows up in early census records with her grandparents, Nathan and Elizabeth Darst Rife, and also with Charles E. and Ajesta Boice. Della M. Cherrington married Elsworth Bishop on May 9, 1908 in Mason County, WV. She died October 24, 1958 in Paducah, Kentucky - almost 93 years old!! I found a photo (dated 1920) of Della with some of her Rife aunts and uncles in some of my grandmother's old papers.

Wilma: You probably already know this, but just in case, Ajesta is actually a nickname, her real name was Augusta.

I believe there were several John Fletcher Cherringtons. The one we were talking about was born in 1860 so would be the right age to be the father. Will see if I can find anything else.
