[Nicholas County]  [Carlisle City and Precinct]

GREENBERRY CHEATHAM, Hotel Keeper, P. O. Carlisle, born in Nicholas
County, December 5, 1832; his grandfather, John Cheatham, and wife,
Elizabeth, came from Culpepper [sic] County, Va., very early and settled
in Montgomery County, whence they afterward moved to Nicholas County.  He
started life as a very poor boy, but by industry and frugality acquired a
position of independence.  John Cheatham, Jr., the father of Greenberry,
married Harriet Garrett of Montgomery County, of a family noted for its
longevity, a member of it having attained the age of 117 years.  He had
several children, five sons and two daughters, viz: William (deceased);
Richard, now in southern California; Greenberry, Nancy A., married John
White, of Harrison; John, now in Missouri; Boone and Armilda, married to
James Long.  Our subject received a limited education, remaining with his
father till [sic] twenty-one years of age.  In 1863 he engaged in
distilling, which he followed for ten years, when he resumed farming.  In
1881 he built in Carlisle the large and commodious hotel which he now
occupies and manages in an energetic and business-like manner, for the
entertainment of the traveling public.  In 1852 he married Melvina Stoker,
daughter of Thomas Stoker, by whom he had five children: Emma, married to
John Turley; William F., Harvey, Annie, wife of Martin Brayfield of
Carlisle, and Dixie.  In 1863 he married his present wife, Miss Melvin
Mann, daughter of Col. David Mann of Nicholas County.  Three children
have blessed their union: Lucian, Ora and Herman.
