The big problem here is that you have listed the children of Stephen Herring and Sarah Bright, his wife -- not the children of Samuel Herring. Stephen was the son of Samuel and Ann Williams Herring. There is nothing in the will of Stephen that indicates that Alexander was a minor. In fact, Alexander and Stephen Bright Herring were executors of their father's will. Samuel will was dated 1750 and was recorded in Johnton County records. He named the following children: Anthony, Stephen, Michael, Barthena, "all my children" and son-in-law Jn Connerley. Anthony was appointed executor. Hope this will help. Horace CGT714@aol.com wrote: > > Herrng, Samuel b??
