Cherry Run Presbyterian Church in Scott County, Kentucky was established by
Gen. William Henry (1761-1824), Revolutionary veteran, land speculator,
miller, legislator, and son of the Rev. Robert Henry, a Virginia Presbyterian
divine.  In 1818 Henry deeded the church lot to trustees John A. Miller, 
Alexander Offutt, John Shannon and David Torrence.  In 1891 Edwin Ward was the
church's only trustee.  In October 1918 the trustees of the Lexington Ebenezer
Presbytery sold the 1.5 acres to R.H. Biddle, Jr.  Henry, a member of the first
Presbyterian Synod in Kentucky in 1803, moved to Hopkinsville in 1816.  Two
sons served in the United States Congress.
