By now you have an email addressed to Bush River Quakers by Harriet Imrey. I haven't met Harriet but I feel I know here by her work, she uses source documents to support her assertions. I haven't any of those sources she is using, and these she has found are wonderfully revealing. Captain, take whatever she has respecting recorded data as gospel because these sources are the very best that can be had. John, according to the documents was born in 1764. Harriet has facts beyond questioning; insure that you disregard facts that are not compatible with documentation. She does speculate here as to John's wife. Larry (in El paso) and myself separately concluded that John's wife was Penina Lyles. I am embarrassed to say I have no recollection of how I acquired my information, and my documents are in storage and inaccessible for another month. I believe I got the information from a listing of marriages in SC, but I no longer trust my memory. Harriet lists the complete family, which should be valuable in a number of ways in your future inquiries. Moreover, Harriet's detective work in determining the name of John's wife, which runs contrary to my own conclusions, may be correct. Here on this subject is a snippet quote from Larry Herbert of El Paso I found about a year ago on Genealogy.com: ..." I am a decendant of John Herbert & Penina Lyles, who were born in Newberry South Carolina, They were Quakers whose family came from New Jersey. My line descends from John Herbert 1769[sic]-abt 1825 to Joseph Lyles Herbert 1813-1879 to James Madison Herbert 1836-1895 to Miles Cleveland Herbert 1890-1968 to Haskel Frank James Herbert 1913-1991 to Myself." - Larry Herbert. Larry sent me all of his data in print and on a disk some years ago, but they are now among the files stored to move to Idaho, if ever I get this house sold. I will send you the hard copy of his data when I have my hands on it, in about a month. Not as certain I can find the electronic version. His web address is too feint to read on the Genealogy.com website: my eyesight is poor. But you might try that website, and try to reach Larry directly. Use Larry not Lawrence. Harriet has given us some wonderful data. Let me know is I can help with the New Jersey family and the Herbert family in Wales.
