VOCATION: Wheelwright. At 74 he was a chairmaker (1880 Census).

!RESIDENCE: Shopville, Pulaski Co., Ky.

!BURIAL: Pulaski Co., KY Cemetery Records and photo of stone (on file with L.
Herrin)

Buried in Peyton Randall Cemetery. Stone has been replaced with new one.

!NOTE: John Clark was the husband of Nancy Herrin; this would make John Clark
the uncle of John Herrin since William is the son of Shadrack, Nancy
is the daughter of Shadrack and John is the son of William.

When Rebecah Herrin married Singleton Earp, the bond was signed by John
Herrin, and the marriage was consented to by William Herrin, one more fact
linking John as William's son. The signature of William Herrin on the marriage
consent matched William Herrin's signature on his own marriage bond to Sally
Evans.

It is history that Shopville, KY was named after a blacksmith shop there
(Pulaski County In Retrospect). It is likely that since John Herrin lived in
Shopville, that it was named because of his shop, since he is a wheelwright.
(or his father, William's, shop).

JOHN married JACKSON ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY on 7 May 1836 in Pulaski County, Kentucky. ELIZABETH (daughter of JACKSON JOSEPH and MONTGOMERY MILLY) was born on 6 Oct 1913 in Shopville, Pulaski County, Kentucky; died in in Pulaski County, Kentucky; was buried in Shopville, Pulaski County, Kentucky.

Notes:

Per Larry Herrin:
!BIRTH: a) Date 0f 1780-1784 calculated from the 1810, 1820, 1830
and 1840 Census. Born in North Carolina (from John Heron information; 1880
Pulaski County, Kentucky Census). ca 1784 birth date from the 1805 Tax List of
Pulaski Co., KY. In 1804 he is not listed, and in 1805 he is listed as male 21
or over. Since Shadrack consented for his marriage in March 1805, William turned
21 after March of 1805 which makes him born after March of 1784. This agrees
with the latest Census birth date of 1784, and the Shadrick Herin 1790 Census
age of 1 male under 16 (1790-16=1774 to 1790).

Reece, deceased, had made an obligation to transfer him a certain track of
land. After due deliberation, the court ordered the land to be transferred

to secure the transfer.

!LINEAGE: There exists two possible leads
for paternal identification:
1) Shadrick (Shadrick Herrin) (wife Rebecca)
2) William Herrin (wife Jane Stevenson)
Elimination of William Herrin (h/o Jane Stephenson) as ancestor:
It was assumed that William Herrin of Shopville, Pulaski Co. Ky may be
William S. Herring of Rockingham Co., Virginia. This cannot be the case because
William S. Herrin was the executor of his mother's, Elizabeth Stevenson
Herring's, will in Rockingham Co., VA in 1820, and William Herrin was well
settled in Pulaski County by 1800, he was bondsman of Sarah Herrin's and
Benjamin Stogsdill's marriage on 20 Jun 1800.
Therefore, I'll rule out any connection to the William S. Herrin
of Rockingham Co. VA. Information on Willam S. Herrin was found in "Settlers by
the Long Grey Trail" (Harrison, 1935). Further proof is that John Heron in the
1880 Pulaski Co., Ky Census lists his father from North Carolina and his mother
from Tennessee.

!VOCATION: Pulaski County, Ky Will Book 7ii page 934 Peter Ruark to Isaac Hayes
Heirs, mentions the first 68 acre tract beginning at "where William Herrin's
old shop stood." He was probably a wheelwright as was his son, John. Perhaps
Shopville was named for the existence of this shop?

WILLIAM married EVANS SARAH on 14 Mar 1805 in Somerset, Pulaski County, Kentucky. SARAH (daughter of EVANS JOHN HENRY and JONES ELEANOR) was born in 1790 in Tennessee; died before 1833 in KentuckY; was buried before 1833 in KentuckY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Per Larry Herrin:
!BIRTH: The date of 1790 was calculated from William Herrin's 1810, 1820,
1830 & 1840 Census information. Born in Tennessee (from John Heron's
information in the Pulaski County, Ky 1880 Census).

!RESIDENCE: Tennessee and Pulaski Co., Ky.

!DEATH: Based on the 2nd marriage of William Herrin to Sary Whitaker.

Notes:

Per Larry Herrin:
!LINEAGE:
A family record sheet was sent to Elston Herrin from Emma Barrett Reeves of
Nacogdoches, TX showing Joseph born in 1786 and with children John, Bathsheba
(or Bashaba), Sarah, Martha and Phoebe. This coincides well with the family of
12 for which Pulaski Co., KY birth records were found. Christian Jackson lists
Joseph Jackson in her will as her grandchild without specifying whose child he
is. However, Mrs. Reeves points out that it is probably Samuel, Jr. or Elijah.
There is an Elijah who settled in Hopkins Co., KY. There is a Samuel shown in
Fayette Co., VA in 1787, which was later to become part of Kentucky. This
Joseph Jackson apparently had a brother named John Jackson, living with him in
Pulaski Co. Temporarily, or until proven, I am going to assume that Joseph
Jackson's father was Samuel Jackson, Jr. and try to procure the documentation.

!MARRIAGE:
1988 Mormon IGI Records for North Carolina show a Joseph Jackson married
Margaret Miller 02 JUN 1819 in Guilford County. The dates are impossible, but
close. I need to check the original records to see if this possibility is a
fact. (page 6750); Batch MS16022 Ser. Sht. 2190.

!CENSUS: Pulaski Co., Ky 1870 Census
Joseph Jackson was 83 and living with James and Phoebe Burdine in the
Pulaski Co. KY 1870 Census.

!MILITARY: From Tombstone located in Pulaski Co., KY (photo on file L. Herrin)
Joseph Jackson was in Co. H. 32nd. Inf. Div. Corp. in the War of 1812.

!BURIAL:
This is on his tombstone which is located in Whitaker Cemetery in Burdine
Valley, Pulaski Co., KY on old Highway 80. His stone, along with his son's
is located against the west fence near the center of the cemetery. A picture
is on file (l. Herrin) of both tombstones, and a picture of the cemetery.

Lincoln Co. Will Records (Lincoln Co. in 1799 included Pulaski Co.) has a
copy of Joseph Jackson's will in Will Book #1 Pages 207-210, recorded 14 NOV
1797.
This is probably the Joseph Jackson who died at Boone's Fort, however. I
have a copy of the posessions sent to me through Stanford Court Clerk.
Since Joseph Jackson would have only been 11 years old 1n 1797, this will
is obviously not his. Pulaski Co.

This Joseph Jackson is assumed to be the Joseph Jackson of Moore Co., NC
since the birth dates coincide.

JOSEPH married MONTGOMERY MILLY. MILLY was born in 1786 in Tennessee; died after 1860 in Pulaski County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Per Larry Herrin:
!CENSUS: In the Pulaski Co., KY 1860 Census Milly is listed as 74 years old from
what appears to be Tennessee. This could be N.C., or even Tennessee when it was
N.C.

!MARRIAGE:
1988 Mormon IGI Records for North Carolina show Joseph Jackson married
Margaret Miller 02 JUN 1819 in Guilford Twp. The dates need to be checked since
they do not correspond, but could be a misread date, or a misprint.

Notes:

Per Larry Herrin:
