I jumped into my files this morning and found that M.M.J. Cherry was the wife of Private Bayless E. Cherry, Company A, 26th Arkansas, brother of William. Their marriage is recorded in the Drew County Marriage Book B, page 268, ceremony performed by T.C. Hunnicut, Justice of the Peace. They married on 20 DEC 1860. M.M.J.’s maiden name was Margaret Melissa J. Bibb.
I have much more on this soldier if your associates are interested.
