Unfortunately I havent gotten all the Cherry family info I could get in my files but there is a fabulous man named Owen Howard and he sent me this information which does seem to fit your line very very well This is his personal research and I take a chance passing it into the genforum site as you never know when someone will claim it as their own But Owen Howard has this info on the Cherry family and I submit it here to maybe help him connect to families. (if you dont plan to contact Owen Howard about his research do not steal this info at all. I post this for anyone who might wish to take the info as their own work ) Owen writes the following :
Cherry/Sarver/Mayhew family. I have been working on this line for a while now as Leroy Satterfield Cherry was my GGrandfather. My grandfather was Enzie R. Cherry, son of Leroy (Lee) and his forth wife, Alice Crittendon Mayhew (Crittie). Here is the information that I have been able to find and document.
Leroy Satterfield Cherry was the son of William Mac Cherry and Nancy Starling Samples. He was born in Barren County, Kentucky on June 23, 1858. The family appears on the 1860 Barren County census. Around the 16th of March 1863, Leroy's grandfather Isaac Samples took his family along with that of his children, including the Cherry's, to Warrick County, Indiana.
This move to Indiana was to escape the ravages of the Civil War in Barren County. Leroy's uncle, Alexander Cherry, who had married Nancy Sample's sister, Martha Jane, was the only one to stay in Barren County. He enlisted into the 37th Ky Vol. Inf. (Union), where he died of smallpox on Jan 30th, 1865. This information comes from the Civil War widow's pension records of Martha Jane Cherry.
1870 finds both the Cherrys and Samples in Allen County where they appear on the census records. Sometimes between 1871 and 1875, Nancy Samples Cherry died and that may be when William Mac moved back to Clay County, Tn., where he appears on the 1880 Clay County census with his second wife, Lucinda Jane Price.
