Mary Bell Richards
Spouse1: Samuel R Cherry | b.1854 Richardsville KY
d. | Father: Thomas Richards
Mother: Susanah Rapier Barnes RAPHEAL | The foregoing (Mary Belle Richards Cherry) information was provided by Samuel Davidson Cherry, Jr., grandson of Mary Belle, and Dr. William Bailey Cherry, nephew of Henry Hardin Cherry. (Please refer to the Captain William Cherry and George Washington Cherry family group charts that follow.) Thomas crittenden Cherry and Henry Hardin Cherry of Western Kentucky University fame, AII~n A. Cherry, and William Bailey Cherry were all brothers. George Washington Cherrys son, William Bailey Cherry, married Cora Belle Gott Oct. 31, 1912. This 88 couple~ .. son, Dr. William Bailey Cherry, is the gentleman named above. There is family connection in a round-about way even through this Cherry line. Esther Gott and Lily Gott were sisters, and Cora Belle Gott was their older half-sister. Esther Gott married Homer Young, brother of Arch Young who married Anna Flora. (See Emanuel R. Flora pages.) Lily Gott married Roy AI~ond. A house that stood at 1214 College Street, Bowling Green, KY, was demolished in October, 1990, to make room for Bowling Greens Public Librarys new parking lot. This house was once occupied by --Cora Belle (Gott) Cherry and her children sometime after her husbands death in 1921. The children are the above named Dr. William Bailey Cherry and his sister, Marion Allen Cherry who was named for their fathers brother., Ailen A .. Cherry who\" died young.. After. Cora Belle Cherry died, Roy and Lily Almond lived there with the children. An effort was made to preserve the house and move it, but several house movers said moving the house would result in more structural damage than could be economically repaired. The Bowling Green-Warren County Arts Commission and the Landmark Association were allowed to salvage what they could from the house before it was torn down. Mary Belle Richards, when she was 16 years old in 1870, went to her older sister, Ann Richards Davidson, in Evansville, Indiana, to go to school. She stayed with the Davidsons several years, and she and her niece, Henrietta Davidson, formed a life-long friendship during that time. Data taken from tombstones, a family Bible kept by Adelia Belle Cherry Ward, numerous letters to Mary Belle Cherry from T. C. Cherry of Bowling Green, and letters to Mary Belle from relatives in England during the late 1800s provided information. Note that the Davidson name still is carried by Mary Belles descendants. |

d.1896 JUN 30 Green River Union Cemetery | Father: ? Richards
Mother: Sarah ? | Richardsville KY is named after him ( an early settler) Blacksmith and Wagon Maker Arrival: 1847 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Emigration: Mar 1847 in Liverpool, Lancashire, England, UK; with 7 children Thomas Richards and Susan (Barnes) Richards, both born in England, sailed for America in February 1847. They had lived in Cambridgeshire about 75 miles from Liverpool in England. They were on the ocean six weeks and arrived in New Orleans Louisiana. They and their six living children born in England went up the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers and lived in Evansville Inidiana for a while. They had left their fi£th childl Thomas buried in England. He had died in infancy. The seventh child was born in Evansville. About the mid-1800s, Uncle Billy Brown who ran the mill at Green Castle (on Barren River) went to Evansville in search of a wagon maker (that was what a blacksmith was called then). He met Thomas Richards and got him to move to Green Castle by offering him 15 acres "on the Hill". One reference called him John Brown and said he built a house "on the corner, across from the old post office", presumably for "Tommy" and his family. (Novice Basham Runners record had this written by Alpha Erdean Richards Martin. ) Thomas proved to be a man of sound judgement and was a good blacksmith. Despite his British accent, he was well liked. About 1875, Squire Granville E. Speck, a member of the State Legislature, got a post office on "The Hill". Squire Speck considered naming the new town Speckville but didn like the sound of it. "Well name it after the wagon maker," he said. "Well call it Richardsville." And so it was, and still is, a fine community some 10 miles North of Bowling Green, Ky., on State Highivay 263. Hudnall Young and Billy Brown gave Thomas Richards three acres of land on the west side of HWy. 263 (Richardsville Rd) where Aaron Cherry later lived. The blacksmith shop was a~ross the road. This is where the old Threlkels Ferry Road leaves the Richardsville Road.) Democrat Methodist Thomas favorite sport - skating " " song - "Farmer Boy" " " flower - roses " by-word - "God boys" |
