Notes:

Added children whose names didn't match so there may be more children listed than they had. Some may be duplicates have been called by their nicknames.

Per Larry Herrin:

!LINEAGE: George Ann Waxler Family Data Sheet for Elijah Thompson (mailed by
Pat Miller, Florence, Al). Family Data sheet from Patricia Miller 2344 Roberts
Ln. Florence, Al. 35650. Elijah was on the membership list in November 1821 at
Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. The other adult males attending there were Isaac
Herrin, William Herrin and Shadrack Herrin. From 1810-1840 Census information,
he was not the son of William. He is too young to be the child of Shadrack,
since Shadrack would have been approximately 50 years old in 1813.
Also, if you look at the names of his children, you'll see Isaac, Rebecca,
Hannah, Lydia, John and all the familiar names of Shadrack Herrin and William
Herrin family.

..........................................................................
Per 1820 Pulaski Co., KY Census Isaac Herrin had only one son and he was
0-10 years old (1810-1820). Elijah was born in 1813. Isaac Herrin was
the Delegate from Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church to the Association quite
often.

If you examine the names of the children of Elijah ands compare them, you
have:

1. Isaac (paternal grandfather)
2. Rebecca (maternal aunt, maternal gr-grandmother, paternal
gr-grandmother)
3. Lucinda (maternal aunt Cynthia)
4. Hannah Elizabeth:
Hannah (paternal grandmother, paternal aunt)
Elizabeth (mother, maternal grandmother)
5. Mary A. (maternal aunt)
6. John (maternal uncle)
7. Margaret ( ? )
8. Alexander ( ?, but a common Herrin name)
9. Squire M. (maternal uncle)
10. Sarah E. (mother)
11. James L. (maternal uncle)
12. Lydia (paternal aunt)
