Jim, I'm going to forward your email to me to the entire James List because I don't recognize your family offhand. Maybe it will ring a bell with someone else. My David JAMES came from Wales to Chester county, PA, where he died. He lived from 1669-1739. I don't have his parents or siblings names. I don't have anyone named HERRING in my line of James'. Susan JIM'S EMAIL: From: Walstein33@aol.com For years I've suspected that my 4th great grandfather WILLIAM JAMES HERRING (ca. 1710-1786) might be named by his father DAVID HERRING (ca. 1670 - 1740) at Potecasi NC. for a maternal uncle named WILLIAM JAMES, a brother of DAVID HERRING's mother, [-----?--- ---- JAMES? HERRING], wife of ROBERT HERRING (ca. 1640-1710) who was granted land on headwaters of the west branch of Nansemond River in 1662, apparently adjacent to the Nansemond Indian Village. Could DAVID JAMES and WILLIAM JAMES HERRING be first cousins? WM. JAS. HERRING had a brother THOMAS HERRING. Jim Herring, Ridgeland MS
