Pat, I was just looking through my Herring data and found a Stephen HERRING who m a Sarah WHITFIELD, no dates or places listed. The only child I have listed for them is Rachel HERRING who m 1) Elkanah Loftin in 1761 2) Cornelius Loftin. The last name was later spelled LOFTON. This is probably further back than you're looking for, but my husband is a LOFTON and HERRING descendant. I think there were two separate HERRING lines in southwest Mississippi.
