      for
      Will Fox CPC
      ..........................................................................

      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).
