COLE MARTIN HEARING/HERRING
Hi,
I found this information, thanks to a looker-upper and it could solve the problems we are having finding Cole Martin Hearing. First, it looks like the original spelling is going to be HERRING. Yep. Many of the Herring/Hearing folks interchange the spelling. That is why it is so hard for us to find information... blame it on our ancestors.
Anyway, here you go:
1860,YELL COUNTY, DUTCH CREEK
Yell County is the next county over from Pope County, Arkansas and it has two county seats: Danville and Dardanelle. However, Dutch Creek is a little Danville community.
JAMES HERRINGage 23 from Mississippi
wife MARTHA19all the family from MS
daughter CELESTIA/ESSIEage 5

This is the family James is from... by the way, from Cole's death certificate, his parents are listed as JAMES HEARING and MARTHA CARTER.
the family of LEWIS HERRING listed in 1850, Carroll County, Mississippi

I am still researching to find the James Herring/Martha Carter marriage license. What I did find was in Leake County, MS... James Herring/Martha Smith married in 8-2-1854. And then after the Civil War, a marriage license for James R. Herring/Mary E. Chandler in Yell County 11-7-1869.
James R. Herring served in the Civil War out of Yell County.
Now this is the family generations line for your notes:
JOHN HERRINGbc 1620 England, dc 1672 Isle of Wight VA , m Margorie Whitfield
ANTHONY HERRING bc 1648 Isle of Wight, dc 1715 same, married Rebecca West
SAMUEL HERRING bc 1682 Isle of Wight, dc Johnston NCAR, married c 1704 Ann Williams
MICHAEL HERRING bc 1722 Bertie Precinct NCAR, d 1805 Wayne County, NCARm married 1755 Charity Graddy
WILLIAM GILES HERRING b 2-19-1762 Dobbs County NCAR mc 1791 Penelope Pittman
LEWIS HERRING b 10-20-1801 Robeson NCAR m Asenith Amanda Powell
JAMES HERRING
COLES HERRING b 1859 d 1937
The family is researched and listed in a book called Herring Highlights I, II, and III. Plus, there is a Herring DNA project going on because some of the lines are Hearing and some are Herring.
There is also a family website you might be interested in looking at.
I hope this helps some of you researchers.
Thanks,
Polly
I would be glad to have an email from you.
