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).

source a):
6. James Bobbitt & William Herring requested the Court to have
commissioners appointed to convey certain parcels of land that had been
promised by James Reece before his death and had been paid for by Bobbitt and
Herring. Continued until next Court.

source b):
5. William Herrin appeared before the Court and offered proof that James
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 William Herring and appointed John Newby, Elias Poston and John Chesney
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?

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.
