not clear if they lived in Sampson. There was an older Simon Herring

sometimes referred to as John Simon Herring. There was a Simon Herring
living in Johnston Co. in 1753 and this likely was an uncle. However,
both may have served in the RW. The earlier Simon owned land in Duplin
Co. and the identity is confused due to the fact that many of these
Herring families had men with the same or similar names. Soldier died
in 1819 and is DAR approved. Issue: Susan 1773-, Sarah 1776-, and Simon
1780-.
HERRING, Stephen Bright, Private, NC Militia, N.C. Army Accounts
Soldier was born about 1765 in Duplin to Stephen Herring Sr. and Sarah
Bright. Soldiers with this name (Stephen Herring) drew 18 pay vouchers
and most likely this man served as did his father. The breakdown of pay
vouchers cannot be determined. Soldier married Ellenor Middleton in
1800 and died in 1817. Soldier lived in New Hanover in 1790 with three
young males in his household. Soldier moved to Sampson Co. NC by 1810.
There were three men in Duplin for 1790 named Stephen Herring and this
man then lived in New Hanover. With 18 RW pay vouchers, all four men
may have served and took part in the war but no positive ID is made.
Eleanor Herring 1775- was still alive in 1850. Issue: 1- Bright
Middleton Herring 1800-1863 who married 1824 Sarah Williamson, Robert
Nixon 1809- was single and farming in 1850, 3-Polley Herring, 4-Kitty
Herring, 5-Sally Ann Herring and 6-Mary Eliza House 1806-1896. Soldier
wrote his will and died 1817 in Sampson.
According to the book Laurens County Georgia Legal Records 1807 - 1832, Abraham Herren of Laurens County sold to Richard Ricks of Montgomery County a piece of land December 29, 1811, and the two men were brothers-in-law. Also mentioned in the book are Arthur Herrin and Adam Herrin. It also mentions Abraham Herring of Jefferson County and Arthur of Wilkinson County. I am assuming these are all Herring men, who are related in someway.
Can anyone tell me if this Abraham Herring is the brother of Elizabeth Herring who supposedly married Richard Ricks?
