2. | Cader Cherry (1.Lemuel1) was born about 1735 in Virginia; died before 27 May 1782 in Edgecombe Co, North Carolina. Other Events and Attributes:
- Possessions: 27 May 1782, Edgecombe Co, North Carolina; intestate
Notes:
Cader Cherry [C1a8h], son of Lemuel Cherry and Gatsey Ann Llewellyn, was born in 1735 in Norfolk Co VA or in Bertie Co NC. He probably lived in or near Edgecombe Co in 1762 because he witnessed a sale of 497 acres from Ebenezer Folsom to William Matthews, both "of Edgecombe Co;" Cader "signed" his name with the letter "K." Cader died by
27 May 1782 in Edgecombe Co, where he was living in 1779. He lived in Edgecombe Co at the end of his life because he, Peter May, and Mark May were witnesses to the 3 February 1777 sale of 200 acres from James Smith of Pitt Co to William Mayo of Edgecombe Co. And on 11 February 1779 Thomas Rhodes of Bertie Co, planter, sold 640 acres to "Cader Cherry, planter of Edgecombe Co" for £150. The land was in Coneto Pocosin and was called Dark Island. It was next to the property of Robert Hardy (see Levi Cherry, Cader's son). Witnesses were Robert Hardy, William Skyles, and Elizabeth Rhodes. On 18 May 1779 Cader sold 94 acres to Robert Hardy, land next to Cader's land and along Coneto Pocosin in Edgecombe Co 9 (Deed book E, page 140). And he sold 220 acres, land along Coneto Pocosin and next to his own land, to Robert Hardy on 5 January 1780 (Deed book E, page 4) for £400. Witnesses of this last sale were "Robert 'X' Hardy Jr, Millisant 'X' Hardy, and Sarah 'X' Knox." It is assumed here that Robert Hardy Jr was a son of the buyer, and Millicent was probably Robert Jr's wife. Who Sarah Knox was is not known. Neither Hardy man could sign his name, but made an "X" instead. Cader's wife was named in the sale as "Juda Cherry." All parties were "of Edgecombe County."
