John Fletcher Cherrington was born 26 Feb 1860 and died 28 Nov 1912. He married Katie Miles. No children. I am not certain where he went but for some reason I think west to Kansas or Missouri, but I am absolutley not certain about that. He had a brother Joseph and a sister Francis who married a Denney. Actually there were 12 children in his family but not all grew to adulthood. Several of his brothers went to the state of Washington. The Cherrington family came to Gallia County in 1805. William had 16 children by two wives. After Margaret Hank died, he married Letitia McClung, a widow with 5 children. Of his 16 all but one grew to adulthood. William and Clement are the two who married Switzers and they had a brother John who was the grandfather of John Fletcher. Henny Cherrington Evans

Hi Henny I see you must have a pretty good link into the Cherrington line. How do you tie in? I have just recently got into family history. My dad changed his last name from Switzer to Stewart (his step-father). My grandfather Harry Switzer brother was Pennel Cherrington Switzer. That tells me that the Switzers and Cherringtons must have kept in close contact over the generations. Of course that would not be unexpected as they were in Gallia county all that time. My grandfather moved to Tacoma Washington and I believe Pennel did too. I am going to suggest that familysearch have a way to note that a couple had no children. That way someone researching would not wonder if they had kids Thanks all who contribute to this message system!

And Catherine married Clement C), John Switzer - first Gallia resident born in VA. He was one of early Gallia settlers. -------Original Message------- From: Henny Evans Date: 6/11/2008 7:27:50 AM To: ohgallia@rootsweb.com Subject: [OHGALLIA] John Fletcher Cherrington John Fletcher Cherrington was born 26 Feb 1860 and died 28 Nov 1912.
