Berry Herrin

CTribbey51 — 2009-11-07 05:18:20Z

I am a great-great granddaughter of Berry & Caroline Evans Herrin. Their son Raymond Berry Herrin was my great grandfather. I would love to connect with any descendents of Berry b. 1822 in GA and d. 1880 in Ga. as well. Berry & Caroline had six sons-no daughters. My grandmother Edna May Herrin Scott was Raymond & Lena Huggins Herrin's daughter. I can be reached @ : 405-341-0898 and live in Edmond, OK

Again, I would love so much to connect with descendents of this wonderful family.

My Herrin trip to NC - Findings

penengr — 2009-09-18 14:23:45Z

I recently took a trip to Wilkes, Caldwell, Davie, and Rowan Co., NC. I gathered some good Herrin info on which I could base some very positive conclusions on the Herrins: Edward, Shadrack, William, Edward, Jr., and Daniel.

Re: Richard S. Herrin

familytimespast — 2009-09-14 03:47:48Z

Thank you for assistance. I have found some of this information. However, I have been confused on how the puzzle pieces fit together. I did not know that Richard could have possibly been married twice nor did I know about the marriage certificate to M. A. Hubbard. The 1880 census has a Henry E. Herrin, which only led to more questions, since I was fairly certain there was not a brother to William Edgar.
I will continue my search and contact the counties involved. Thank you!

Re: HERRIN, Elijah NC>GA>AL 1782-1850

penengr — 2009-09-11 22:58:30Z

Be advised that Elijah Herrin and Charles Grandison Herrin were in Sumner and White Co.s Tennessee, respectively in the 1818 time frame. I have documentation. This is one reason that I believe that Richard Herrin of White Co. was his brother. Richard was in 1790 Rowan Co. and that's where Elijah came from.

Re: Richard S. Herrin

RaeRold — 2009-09-07 17:50:47Z

Death certificates of William Edgar Herrin and his wife are on the Familysearch.org Index Records site. The 1900 census shows Richard S Herrin born Sep 1851 living with son Edgar and d/law Laura G in Van Zandt County, TX. Findagrave.com has a photo of the tombstone of Richard Stockton Herrin born 3 Sep 1851, died 26 Sep 1914 in Heath Cemetery, Rockwall, TX.

Van Zandt's Genweb site has a marriage date for R S Herrin and M A Hubbard as 11/17/1875; the 1880 census lists him in that county with wife Marry and a son the age of William Edgar. I suspect William's mother died soon after he was born. His death certificate lists his mother as 'Sallie', and an S. F. Herrin(1853-1874)is buried in Old Bethel Cemetery, Van Zandt County.

Ancestry World Tree Project at Ancestry.com has a William Moses as the father of Richard S Herrin and a W. M. Herrin is also buried in Old Bethel Cemetery. Although these are only clues, writing to Rockwall and Van Zandt counties may provide some solid sources.

Richard S. Herrin

familytimespast — 2009-09-06 04:27:02Z

Looking for Wife and parents of Richard S. Herrin born Sept. 3,1851 in Tx, died Sept. 26,1874 in Rockwall, Tx.
His son is William Edgar Herrin, MD. born Feb 19, 1874 and died March 7,1934. He married Laura Glenn Turner Dec. 18,1890.
Would love to have sources to verify.
Thank you!

J H "Whitson" Morris b 1833 Arkansas?

lhbomesberger — 2009-04-14 18:53:23Z

Just update praying that someone out there might have a clue. I am looking for information on G Grandfather J H "Whitson" Morris info says he was born 1833 in Arkansas. I have traced him from 1860 until his death in 1902 in Oklahoma. Inforamtion I have is 1860 - 1870 - 1880 - Census - Headstone pictures of his grave and G Grandmother as well. I have a page of the Registery of his funeral record with date and location of burial. (no death records before 1908 and hard to find any before 1940) I have the application for license of his daughters marriage license date 1895. I feel they had to be here in Oklahoma somewhere between 1880 and 1895. I have transcription of headstone of his grandson from his daughter Emma. I also have death record of his oldest daughter that list the name of Father J H and Mother Sarah Day as the parents. I have a crude picture of Aunt Emma and Sarah F Day Morris with G Aunt Emma's family I can date the picture between 1891 and 1898 due to the fact that aunt Emma's Oldest son was in the picture and he died 1998.
I have included the name WHITSON because he used it one time on the 1870 census that is the only time it appeared as as anything but J H W. I feel the name could be nickname. I have a feeling that he could have been born in Tennessee and just raised in Arkansas since that is where the parents are said to have been born. I know there are several files out there that give him other names, just search them out the info doesn't support their claim.
I have been looking for him a long time and no other name comes up in census but the ones I have stated. I hope someone else out there that is looking gets in touch with me. I will tell you the date on his headstone is 1833 The 1870 census is the only one that the date matches the above date. This man had a problem with dates I think he was either older on one and younger on the other.
Thank YOu

I descend down through his son, James "Big Jim" Herrin my 3rg Grt Grandfather, then his son James Madison Herrin my Grt Grt Grandfather, then his son Jeremiah(Jerry) Herrin my Grt Grandfather, and then my Granddaddy Owen K.

Also, I am looking for information on how Osceola P. Herrin got his name? I have been doing research on this for a while and I believe that John Rooks wife may have been American Indian from the Creek Tribe but I am looking for more info to try and piece things together. Any information you may have on these questions, I would be very greatful if you could contact me. My e-mail address is gvn_roberson@yahoo.com. Thank you, Gavin

Joanne...
For some reason I didn't recognize I was responding to the expert on your branch... you! Thank you for the new information. I would like to enlist your help in researcing Shadrack's line. I did verify that his wife was Rebecca Stogsdill.

Isacc F. Herrin

penengr — 2008-11-07 03:33:14Z

Isaac F. Herin died Sept 9, 1859 age 88 in Lewis County, Kentucky and was born Culpeper County, Virginia, the son of Isaac and Terisa Herrin.

Mary Herin died Feb 13, 1859 age 72 in Lewis County, Kentucky and was born Culpeper County, Virginia, the daughter of Robert Freeman.

Per the will of William Herin in Hampshire County, Virginia, he mentioned his brother Isaac in Lewis County, Kentucky and nephew George Herin.

Isaac Herrin of Culpeper County, Virginia would be Isaac Herrin who married Hannah Montague and then Mrs. Ann Bolton, late in life after having been married several times. An earlier wife was Penelope Stout.

Isaac Herrin was from Hunterdon County, New Jersey.

I descend from her daughter Thursey McCoy. I don't have any information about Mecie's burial place. I did manage to find her in the Census records from 1845 - 1870. Did you find her in the 1880 Census? I thought maybe she had died before that.

It was good to hear from you Larry. I am glad you verified that Rebecca Stogsdill was Shadrack "Shade's" wife. I was a little concerned about this. I would very much like to learn more about your research.

Re: James Logan Thompson Herrin b. 1871 Illinois

JoanneIkeda50 — 2008-11-07 14:56:30Z

Larry.....I forgot to say in the last messages that you do have it correct that James Logan Thompson Herrin is the son of Elijah & Sarah but I have a cousin that researched this James L. a long time ago and she connected the wrong James L. to Elijah's family. Now new evidence shows us who this James L. really is and he was born in 1849 & not 1850 as my cousin had it. She researched without help of all that I have had to work with and she has been sent the new information I and my other Herrin Cousin found and she has it corrected in her file now.
Here is the documentation for James Logan's marriage to Elizabeth Salesman. Found in the Illinois Archives Marriage Records:
HERREN, JAMES SALESMAN, ELIZA 10/05/1869 002/ 00000691 RICHLAND

Elijah was living in Indiana in the 1850 census moved to Indiana before the 1860 census. As we know Elijah lived in Bonpas Twp, Richland Co. IL. up until the 1860 census or longer and moved to Christy Twp, Lawrence Co. IL. before the 1870 census. Seeing that James L. is married in 1869 in Richland makes us wonder if Elijah made his move to Lawrence Co. IL. in 1869. But also Elizabeth very possibly had relatives living in Richland Co. IL. So we can not take it for fact that Elijah lived in Richland Co. up until 1869 either. Also seeing that James L. was married in Richland Co. makes us wonder if he & Elizabeth made their home in Richland Co or Lawrence Co.
James L. died before his father Elijah who died in 1878. Elijah was living in Christ Twp, Lawrence Co. at the time and buried James L. at Brian Cemetery. This likely was the cemetery close to the Elijah Herrin farm. James L. is buried there then later, Elijah, Sarah other daughters Hannah, Mary A. Emma Jane are buried there.
On the Lawrence Co. IL GenWeb I have entered many pictures I took at the Brian Cemetery. You can view those if you like. Over half of the people buried there are my ancestors I believe.
Have a much more detailed history for James Logan if you are interested. Regards.......Joanne

I am so sorry for the length of time to respond. I have not been on the site for many, many months.

S.J. Herrin was apparently my grandfather as well. My father as you can see my father was Dudley Jesse Herrin who was born in Mississippi. My father had two sisters: Lucille and Ruby. Does this sound familiar? Would be interesting to find out S.J. he had another family. You see I have pictures posted of my fathers family but Shep is not in any of them. I do have pictures of Ora Lacy who was married to Shep but some how he was never in front of the camera. Have also found a check....S.J. Herrin Plantation. I agree it is very interesting. Do you have any pictures of Shep??
