Sarah,
I am Cal Campbell. I have been studying Cherrys in SC for a long time. I understand that you have become an expert on them and am hoping that you can help me. I have a Cherry family that moved to Orangeburg, SC about 1820. They lived on Robert Swamp SE of Neeses, SC. He had 3 sons, Henry, b. 1825, Andrew Jackson, b. 1829, and we think a George Washington Cherry, b. 1821, who moved away. We have a family story that has been passed down my word of mouth. The Cherry man died shortly after Andrew Jackson was born. The wife, an Elizabeth Roberson, married a Stephenson man (maybe Malachi)after his death. He got into a fight and thought that he had killed the man, came home, packed up the stuff in a wagon and headed west. George Washington was not at home, and moved away never seeing the family again. The Stephenson man died somewhere on the trip that ended up in Early Co, GA where the boys met sisters and in the years around 1850 married them. They were listed in the 1850 Walton Co, Fl census just outside of DeFuniack Springs. They made their way to Dothan in 1860 and were given land by the wives' mother in Dothan where they all lived the rest of their lives. I have the rest all documented. It is just the boys' father that we are lacking. No word of mouth history about him except that he is buried in Orangeburg, but we cannot locate a CHerry grave during that time. All this is documented in an 1935 letter from a son of Andrew Jackson. I know that this is long, but can you help me?
