I have been trying to send this message & since it seems my AOL won't send it as a one part message, I am breaking it down into two parts. This is Part 1. Please watch for Part 2. Thank you.

Carolina about 1824 and married William Wilson in Cherokee County Georgia in March of 1841. Their children; Orvin Wilson b. Dec. 1841; William B. Wilson b. 1844; Martin Wilson b. 1846, and Josephine Wilson b. 1849 all in Georgia. I am searching for the parents of Harriett Fowler. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Jessi Jessica Pulliam Myers In Groves, Texas >> I have FOWLER / HERRING who were married in Hall Co., GA in 1830 & were listed in the 1834 Cherokee Co., GA census. This was Lucinda FOWLER who married Squire HERRON / HERRING / HERIN. By 1850, this family was in AL though there was no mention of Lucinda. Here is the information I have: Lucinda FOWLER, married Squire HERRON in 1830 Hall Co GA. 1834 Sworn to on March 29, 1834) Cherokee Co., GA Census lists Squire HERRING with 6 people in his household. Site is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gacherok/1834cen.htm 1850 Census of Lauderdale Co AL: p. C-85 - hh # 142 Herin, Squire 40 Unknown Carpenter ", Marmilly 14 AL ", Arnold 9 " ", Nancy 7 " ", Sousannah 4 " ", Mary 1 " Although I don't recognize Marmilly shown in the census above, the rest of the children fit the age & name for my gg grandfather, William P. HERRING's siblings. (This family information will be in the next email, FOWLER / HERRING - So. Carolina(?), Part 2.) I'm thinking Marmilly might be a nickname which was given to Caroline P. HERRING since the age is right for Caroline. I don't see Grace listed in the above census but instead there is Nancy. That exchange I do not understand. Again, Nancy would have to be a nickname but, for what? William P. & his brother, Francis M. would have been old enough to be on their own by 1850. I believe Sousannah to be Lucinda S. HERRING. There is also some connection in this family with John T. FOWLER (which seems obviously, Lucinda FOWLER) as is evidenced by the following: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ from Gandrud's Alabama Records [Vol 227, Lauderdale Co][pg 044][Probate Minutes Book A 1852-1853] Book A, page 423. John Gray, Administrator of John T. Fowler dec'd, filed petition to sell land in Sec. 29 Tp 2 R9W. The following are the heirs at law: William P. Herring, George C. Herring, Mary Isaacs, Francis M. Herring, Arnold M. Herring, Nancy L. Herring, Lucinda S. Herring, Robert T. Fowler, Mahala White, Mary C. Herring and Daniel Pl Fowler. The first four reside in Mississippi and the others in Lauderdale Co., Ala. except Mary C. Herring who resides in Franklin Co., Ala. and Daniel P. Fowler of the State of Texas. Richard B. Baugh is appointed guardian ad litem for the minors named. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 2 to follow.
