Hi all,
I know this is a ten year old post, but it was the only thing on the Internet that I could find about this topic. I just got back from the Brock's Gap Heritage Day, where I had the chance to talk with Pat Turner Ritchie, who organizes this great event each year back in Rockingham Co., VA.
She said that Wilson Breneman, who had researched the Cherryholmes family, recounted to her some family lore, saying that Mary could have been a Native American.
I'm very much interested in researching this possibility. It would help if anyone who is descended from William Cherryholme, Sr, and Mary, would have their DNA tested by Ancestry, Family Tree DNA or 23andMe, and upload the results to Gedmatch. That would allow us to identify segments of DNA that we share which are inherited from them, and then we'd be able to check those segments to see whether any Native American, or other ethnic origins are revealed in them (using the admixture tools).
If anyone out there has also heard this legend, and knows how Fort Hogg might come into it, please post here and contact me!
Thanks so much,
Bonnie
