James, William and Thomas Herrington, Duplin County, NC 1700's
James, William and Thomas Herrington on a tax list in 1783 in Duplin.
Thomas is listed as an adjoining land owner to Jesse Johnston in 1782 near Six Runs Creek.
William and his wife Philibus or Philiber? sell land in 1784 which adjoins James Herrington on the South River.The deed states it was a land grant to William but doesn't give a date for the grant.He sold this land to Solomon Magee.James Herrington was married to Elizabeth Magee (Mcgehee), daughter of William Magee.
James Herrington's children inherited about 2700 when he died about 1814, on the South River.
Six Runs Creek would be very near the South River property William and James owned.
There is no further records for William or Thomas (as far as I have found to date) in Sampson/Duplin Counties.I have not found where Thomas sold his land or bought it, for that matter.
Does anyone have a clue who these men are?I wondered if William could be the William in New Hanover in 1786.
Trying to figure out if they are brothers or if one of them is the father of James.
There are also a few records for a Joab Herrington in Duplin, don't know anything about him, either.
Thanks for any help,
Renee Newman
