Hi! You're e-mail address looks familiar but I can't find you in my files so forgive me if I'm asking you something you've already responded to! David J. Herring was the brother of my GGgrandmother Rebecca Herring Cannon. Do you happen to have any information on their father Steven Herring (his wife's name?)? I know that he died in 1860 at the home of Rebecca in Silver Creek.

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.
