John Cherry Sr. 1619 -1699 | his parents
& Elizabeth Faithful 1625 – | her parents
of Bray, England &
of Norfolk County, VA
my working hypothesis – the way I see it as of this moment!!
On the internet, someone has traced this family back into the 1300’s in France to the name De Che Roi.

HI, according to ancestry I am also a granddaughter to this line of Cherry’s.
My father is Robert Cherry, his father was Herman Cherry (married to Rebecca Daniel), his father was William Oscar Cherry (married to Emma Cobb), his father was William Robert Cherry (married Alice Smith), his father was William Norman Cherry (married to Malinda Head). I am 100% sure that all that information is correct. Then it gets iffy. According to ancestry William Norman’s father was Nehemiah Cherry (married to Ann Griffin), his father was William Cherry (married to Lydia Minera Daniel), his father was Jonathan Cherry Jr. (married to Catherine Rooks this is different from what others have listed), his father was Jonathan Cherry Sr. (married to Elizbeth Faithful). It goes on back from there, but I’m just now sure how much is accurate and I was wondering if you could confirm the information.
Thank you!
I am a descendant of Rebecca Cherry who married John Hodges. There are different times or dates on some of these folks. I think John Hodges was born about 1720 and died about 1778. What do you think?
Interesting information on the Cherry lineage. I come from the Cherry family of John Cherry Sr. and Elizabeth Faithful through their son John Cerry Jr. and Rebecca Maund through their son Lemuel Cherry through his daughter Rebecca Cherry 1721 who married into the Hodges lineage. Email me please.
I am from the same line. How many people do you have in the family tree? I have over 600. Can we compare records?
