Hi Art,
There is nothing in the book for the name of CHERRY, nor do I see anything for a Henry in Edgecombe Co.
You might want to try checking the County records, from what I understand, the records in Mr. Byrd's book are what he found in the State Archives. People have told me that apparently not all emancipation records were sent to the Archives but that some of them were kept in the County where the emancipation took place. They have had some success in locating records in the County Court records, which may be the place to look.
