Can any of you nice people help me with the HERN families in Randolph Co and their relationships to each other? I am especially interested in Solomon HERN and Allen HERN. I have found them on Howard Co 1840 and 1850 census and then on the 1860 they are living close to each other in Randolph Co. Allen died approx. 1863 but Solomon was still on the 1870 Randolph census. Any help with them or any other HERNs prior to 1840. It is my understanding that both Solomon and Allen were born in Madison Co KY, Allen in 1799 and Solomon in 1801, looks like maybe brothers, but who were their parents? I can't find any proof on anything before 1835 when Allen's daughter Elizabeth was born in Howard Co. Thanks, Marilyn Newton Richmond, VA Help, anybody??? Thanks.
