I read your post and am intrigued by the Herren name.My ancestors, the Adkins, lived near the Gilberts in Utica.My grandfather married the Minnie Edna Howell in 1905.Minnie's mother was Hulla Ella Herren.She would have been about 18 maybe in 1888 when she married Wade Howell.I cannot find any info about Hulla, no parents, and she died in childbirth in 1889.It would make sense that they lived in the Scutchaloe Hills area (Oak Ridge) near the Gilberts, Ritcheys and other families and I am thinking Minnie and my grandfather had to live near each other.If you have any Herren info I would love to hear from you.I recently learned that the last Gilbert lady thatI knew had died.I knew several of the Gilberts who were my parents age, born about 1907 and on.
