Corporal David Cherry & Private Gregory Cherry
are in Mean's 1st Regiment South Carolina Militia,
War of 1812
My ancestor Gregory CHERRY was aged 27 in 1814.
Page 22 of Our Branch of the Cherry Family Tree by James Robert CHERRY Jr. and Cherry SMITH CURTIS Oct. 1992 says: "National Archive records show that Gregory was in the service during the War of 1812, serving as a drummer. He was about 27 at the time and attached to Captain William Chestnut's Company, First Regiment, South Carolina Militia, serving from 1814 to 1815.  There is no evidence he participated in military action since South Carolina was not in the geogaphical area where the War of 1812 was fought. ..."

If the military record says this soldier Gregory was 27 in 1814, then that seems to me to be unique enough information to insure that soldier Gregory Cherry was my ancestor Gregory Cherry. My ancestor Gregory Cherry has a tombstone at El Bethel Methodist Church, US 21, Chester County SC.
