Notes

Note N00510HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, Mount Pleasant Township. PP. 854:

"Thomas Cherry emigrated from near Bristol, England with his wife and three children, in 1770, and settled in Frederick County, Md. In 1774 he came to what is now Mount Pleasant township. He built a cabin about one hundred rods west of William P. cherry's present residence. At this place he lived but a short time after making his entry. He was found dead at a spring near the place with a bullet-hole through his brain and his empty gun beside him. His scalp was not taken. His own gun was discharged, and the character of the wound led to the conclusion that his death was accidental. the next year his son John was killed by the Indians. Two hundred acres of the tract was patented as Fairfield, April 12. 1788, was left to Moses Cherry. He married Jane Atcheson, daughter of Matthew Atcheson. In addition to this he took up a tract adjoining and east of the home farm. He was in the war of 1812, and died soon after, on the farm, in 1815, aged forty-five years. His children all went West. No descendants of this branch now live in the township. the farm passed from the heirs of Moses Cherry to John McBirney, whose sons now occupy it."
