Week 15 of The WikiTree Challenge for Cheri was an exciting week of intense research and mystery solving! Team members once again impressed us with their dedication and research skills. People were grouping up to tackle those more stubborn brick walls.

These challenge participants added 76 profiles to her branches. There were 13 new direct ancestors and 63 nuclear relatives of ancestors. Five of the new ancestors were completely new to Cheri!

Altogether, more than 30 members made 2,347 edits to her ancestor profiles. Many did research, while others worked on profile narratives, looked up articles, added categories, and contributed in other ways.

Here are some highlights from our discoveries:

  • The most exciting find of the week was the hundred-year-old mystery of what happened to Bertred Campbell Price. Visit his profile to learn the shocking truth.
  • Susannah (Bonner) Stukes gained a new father! It turn out William was a Master Bookbinder, bookseller and stationer and was taking on and training apprentices to his trade.
  • Claudius Richbourg served in South Carolina during the American Revolution. John Richbourg's sub-officers were Henry Richbourg, James Richbourg, and Nathaniel Richbourg, who were his brothers. Claudius was Cheri's 7th great-grandfather.
  • Mary McKenzie married Israel Gaunt Mathis in Sumter County, South Carolina. He had been a Sergeant in the 2nd Regiment of South Carolina's Militia during the War of 1812, and was later a lawyer by trade.
  • Mary Ann (Amick) Huet was the focus of a big court case involving the sale of 200 acres she owned. The adverts in the papers provided many instances of the names of her children and their spouses.
