William, J.N. and Clevey/Cleva Herrington/Harrington Desoto County, MS
Clevey/Cleva Herrington of Desoto County, MS has been presumed to be the son of Stephen Herrington and Mary Holmes Herrington.I have found the probate records in Desoto of William Herrington starting in 1845, with his son Cleva, named administrator.William left his whole estate to his wife Polly for life, then to his son Cleva, with one slave to go to his daughter Jemima Stephens, wife of Jesse Stephens.He says he has other children but does not name them and in a codicil to his will he leaves them each $100.He is on the tax list of 1840 with 6 slaves, next to him is also listed a J.N. Herrington.
Jesse Stevens died in 1847, he names his wife Jemima, son Asa C, daughter Jane Herrington and daughters Rebecca and Jemima Stevens.Asa C Stephens.
Cleva/Clevey Herrington is buried in the Herrington Cemetery that descendants of Stephen Herrington are buried in.I would like to figure out who William Herrington was.He should not be a brother of Stephen, as his brother William died in TX.
I have not located estate records for Stephen.
