Ok, my Annie was born earlier, somewhere around 1825-1830 according to census records...however...I have been digging through some of your ancestry records and some of them are the same people I have...also you mention Fosters...did any of your family ever migrate to Texas? I have Fosters (Robert, Susan, Mary, Addie) with my Reeds (that would have been Nancy Herron's husband and children) in the 1880's. My Nancy shows on the census records as being married to a Martin Luther Reid who is 40 years older than her for a couple decades. He died, I believe, in Texas. However, all of Nancy's children's death certificate list their fathers name as Jim or James Reed so I do not think Martin is their father. A couple of them list their mothers name as Mary Anderson rather than Nancy Herron as well. In 1870, Nancy lived in Falcon, Nevada, Arkansas next door to a Annie Herron, who I believe to be her mother. It is possible my Annie remarried and had m! ore children. The youngest child from her first marriage to Edmond Herron was born in 1861 as far as I can tell. Have you looked through my ancestry records on Anna Herron and Nancy Herron? I think maybe we are missing the mark on Anna because of the birthdate disparity but I still think these families tie together. Will keep investigating!
