This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this

married 1774 Jacob Eason died bef Nov Ct 1778 Bertie Co
Jacob Eason was on jury Nov ct 1777;

Co Solomon Cherry ca
1755/60 - ca 1810 Pitt Co
[age about 50 at death]
"Solomon Cherry Served as a Captain in the American
Revolution and afterwards as Sheriff and Clerk of Court. He received a land
grant from the governor following the war."
Capt. Solomon Cherry married in Bertie County 24 Sept
1779 Mary, the widow of Jacob Eason and daughter of William Walton and wife
Rachel Hunter.
They both died in Pitt County about 1810 at age 50 per
deposition by Ralph Outlaw.
This Solomon Cherry first appears on
record as wit to deed 1763 Bertie Co
Note: I have this family posted under
Cherry, Walton, parts under Outlaw. at least I am still trying to coordinate my

1. William Walton Cherry 1780/3 - ca 1809 [died at age 29 or there
about]
graduated UNC 1800; Served
on the Board of Trustees UNC from 1804 - 1809; 1804/5 in NC legislature
John H Wheeler in his "Reminiscences and Memoirs of North
Carolina" says this on page 342. "William Cherry was a native
of Bertie County , and was graduated here [UNC] in the year 1800. While in
college he was not a very diligent student, but his aptitude for learning was
so marvelous that, it was said, he could prepare his lesson after the
recitation bell had commenced ringing. Having selected the law as his
profession, he had already attained an extensive practice and a high rank at
the Bar, when his career was cut short by death caused by intemperance at the
early age of twenty seven. Those who were engaged in practice with him could
not but wonder at the admirable manner in which he managed his causes, knowing
as they did that the time he ought to have spent in the preparation of them
was passed at the card table and around the intoxicating bowl. . ."

The
Maps Our Ancestors Followed
Routes into Tennessee: [HSF Boddie v.
20 p34]
After the Battle of Kings Mountain in 1780 and after
British troops had withdrawn from the western portion of the
Carolinas, settlers began moving westward in great numbers. At that
time, there were three ways of reaching the Cumberland settlements in
the Tennessee Country to which many of these settlers were moving:
1) by land through Cumberland Gap and into Kentucky, and then
down to Nashville;
2) by water down the Tennessee River; or
3) by water down the Cumberland River.
The river routes were especially hazardous, particularly
three dangerous places on the Tennessee River as it passed through the
Cherokee towns.
There was an Indian trace called Talonteeskee Trail,
which lay across the Cumberland Plateau; however, this trace lay
through the territory allotted to the Cherokees as a hunting ground
and the trail was suitable for travel only on foot or on horseback.
In August 1787, a road was begun from the lower end
of Clinch Mountain, near the present site of Kingston, to the
Cumberland settlements. Trees were cut to a width of ten feet and the
road was leveled in places. This road was completed ca September 1788
and was known as "North Carolina Road." "Avery's Trace"
or "The Old North Carolina Trace." From the south end of
Clinch Mountain, the road crossed the Clinch River near the present
site of Kingston, and proceeded west by way of Poplar Creek, Crooked
Fork, Emory River, and entered the Cumberland Mountains through Emory
Gap, near the present site of Harriman. From there it continued up
Crab Orchard Mountain, across the Obed River near the present site of
Crossville, to Flat Rock and then on to Standing Stone, now known as
Monterey. From there it proceeded down the mountain to Fort Blount,
about seventy miles up the Cumberland River from Nashville. Then it
crossed the river and proceeded by way of Dixon Springs, Bledsoe's
Lick, Winchester's Station (the present site of Gallatin), and Kasper
Mansker's Station to Nashville. The road was not suitable for wagon
travel, however, and household goods had to be shipped down the
Tennessee and up the Ohio and Cumberland Rivers to Nashville. There
were steep hills and mountains; the trail was very narrow, winding,
and unlevel, and did not have good river fords. When it rained, there
was the problem of deep mud holes, but the main problem was the
Indians.
A new road was needed, with an agreement with
the Indians to allow the settlers to pass unmolested. Construction of
the new road began in 1799, and was completed about the first of
September 1802.
Captain William Walton was
the leading commissioner for the road project. He had received a grant
of land on the Cumberland River near the present site of Carthage. He
lived in Smith County on the north side of the Cumberland, his home
being located near the present Carthage city water works. At that
point he operated a ferry for travelers along the road, and it became
known as "Walton's Road" or The Walton Road.
The Walton Road was over one hundred miles long,
starting at Southwest Point. From there it proceeded through the
valley of Post Oak Spring to Rockwood, above the iron furnaces there
today (1974). Then it ascended the mountain through Kimbrough Gap. The
area was then considered to be "The Wilderness." In the
Wilderness it passed near the present sites of Ozone and Crab Orchard,
then four miles to the north of Crossville, and thence through
Carthage, Gallatin, on to Nashville. Traffic was heaviest in the fall
of the year and tolls were assessed at different points along the way.
Primitive inns sprang up to offer "comfort" to the
travelers.

"Col. William Walton
(ca 1760 - 6 March 1816)
received 4,000 acres from the government in the Cumberland Valley for services rendered.
He was under the command of my ancestor Brig. Gen. James Hogan at Charleston. Hogan's
grandson Arthur Smith Hogan (ca. 1777-1849) made the first trip to inspect his father
Lemuel's big Cumberland spread in 1796 and stopped for assistance at the Walton Ferry that
became Carthage. He married Walton's daughter Rachel ca. 1797; they witnessed Walton's
will in 1816. She died shortly thereafter, and he married (2) his cousin the widow
Elizabeth West Whitmell Davis, the daughter of Thomas Blount Whitmell and Ann Smith
Whitmell. Arthur's youngest brother, Drew Smith Hogan, is my ancestor."

shows Henry Rucks to have married Sarah Jane Nichol in Nashville on 26
October 1854, and they died in Washington County, Mississippi in 1869 from
yellow fever. This was a prominent family. They had a doctor grandson die
in Memphis not too long ago.

Isaac Walton married in 1783
Catherine/Christian Perry daughter of Josiah Perry of Bertie County and his
first wife Elizabeth? Freeman dau of William Freeman. [Note
- Catherine's mother was NOT Elizabeth Twine who was the wife of Josiah
Perry of Perquimanns County.]
Isaac Walton and family had moved to Tennessee by Nov 1788 when he is a
juryman at the first Superior Court held in Nashville.
Catherine died 6 Sept 1824.
In 1825 Isaac Walton married his neighbor Elizabeth Mansker, the widow
of of Kasper Mansker.
Isaac Walton (TN) & Catherine Perry of Sumner Co. TN
had:
From IT IS A GOODLY LAND by Henderson & Garrett, pages 79-82:...He was once again selected to serve in the
states constitutional convention in 1834. He was twice elected to the House of
Representatives, serving in the Third and Eighth General Assemblies...Isaac Walton apparently opened his
house to lodgers as many did during the frontier period.
In 1810 the celebrated author of American Ornithology,
Alexander Wilson, spent two days at the Walton house, exploring the surrounding area for new species of American birds. During his visit he identified two birds which he
appropriately named Tennessee Warbler and Nashville Warbler. Wilson's letters
provide an excellent picture of the Walton home and insight into the character of Mr. Walton. "On April 25th I breakfasted at Walton's, thirteen miles from Nashville. This place is a fine rich
hollow, watered by a charming, clear creek and never fails. Went up to Madison's Lick, where I shot three paorquets and small birds. On April 26th I set out early, the hospitable landlord,
Isaac Walton, refusing to take anything for my fare, or that of my horse, saying -'You seem to be traveling for the good of the world; and I cannot and will not charge you anything!' This is
the first instance of such hospitality which I have met with in the United States."..

Isaac Walton's home tract joined
the property of his friend, Kasper Mansker. The Walton property, known today
as the J. B. Jackson farm, is located on Mansker's Creek near the present
U.S. 41. Walton's home faced the old roadbed and was located on the present
site of the Jackson home. This house is remembered by many Goodlettsville
residents as a spacious two-story clapboard structure, but hidden beneath
the exterior boards was a log structure of a much earlier period. The front
section, two rooms up and two down, was constructed of chestnut logs
measuring fourteen feet long and fourteen inches square. The rooms, sixteen
feet by twenty feet, were separated by a central hall which was enhanced by
a solid cheery staircase. The back addition, built at a later date, was
frame and contained five rooms. The house was heated by six open-hearth
fireplaces and there were three stone chimneys. The exact Construction date
is unknown, but it is believed to have been one of the oldest houses in
Goodlettsville. The house was razed in 1968... Isaac Walton's first marriage
was in 1783 to Catherine Perry. She died on September 6, 1824, and the
following year he married his neighbor, Elizabeth Mansker, widow of Kasper
Mansker...Isaac Walton played a significant role in the settlement and
development of Mansker's Station. His name is remembered among the leaders
of the city of Goodlettsville.
