| 1451 | James J. Carriger is adjacent to Daniel S. Crow in the 1880 census. James was the bondsman for the marriage of Isaac L. Crow and Elizabeth Hart . Also note that Robert Campbell Crow is buried in the John Carriger Cemetery and that a Thomas Crow is enumerated in the household of Robert Crow in the 1850 census. These records suggest that Thomas Crow, father of Daniel, is the son of Robert Crow and that Isaac L. Crow is the brother of Thomas Crow. | Crow, Daniel S. (I7199)

| 1477 | John McCollister is the grandson of Daniel Carrell | McCollister, John L. (I8478)

|
| 1479 | John McCollister was born about 1845 in Rockingham County, North Carolina. He is the son of William McCollister and Nancy Carroll. In the 1860 census, he is living with his grandfather, Daniel Carrell. The census states that he is 15 years old. It is presumed that his parents are deceased by this date. In deed dated 2 Feb 1866, John McCollister his interest in the estate of his father William to James Irvin. Rockingham County, North Carolina, Deed Book XX, p. 173. He was only 21 years old at the time. The deed states that John McCollister had a one fourth undivided interest in the real and personal property of William McCollister, which was being conveyed to James Irvin. This record implies three siblings. William McCollister's estate included a 336 acre tract called the Home Place on the waters of Wolf Island Creek formerly owned by Levin McCollister, which William purchased from the estate, less 47 acres which William McCollister sold in his lifetime to Andrew Hudson; a 12 acre tract purchased from Tunis Cole; and unspecified personal property. In a deed dated 26 July 1867, Charlotte Matlock, John Carrell, Thos. D. Carrell, Mary E. Carrell, Fanny Wray, Martin Miller and wife Sarah, Turner Barber and wife Jannella, and John McCollister sold a tract of land on the waters of Wolf Island Creek containing 42 acres to William Lindsey. Rockingham County, North Carolina, Deed Book YY, p. 283. The grantors all appear to be heirs of Daniel Carroll. All except John L. McCollister are children or their spouses. John L. McCollister is the grandson of Daniel Carroll. His parents, William McCollister and Nancy Carroll died before 1860. | McCollister, John L. (I8478)
|
| 1480 | John signed for his share of his step-father's estate in 1770. John's sister signed for her share in 1669. Because John was not able to sign for his share until 1770, it is assumed that he was born in 1649. | Posey, John (I4163)
|
| 1481 | John was baptized on 26 Sep 1708. | Humphreys, John (I2642)
|
| 1482 | John was listed in the 1785 land tax list for Pittsylvania County. He was absent from the land tax list in 1786. John Was listed in the property tax list in 1785 but was absent in 1786. His wife Elizabeth was listed in the 1787 land tax list. Because only single women and widows were included in the list, it appears that John Bennett died sometime after the 1785 land tax list was taken. In a 1794 deed from John Maddin to Samuel Walker, John Bennett deceased is named as the adjoining landowner. Pittsylvania County, Deed Book 8, p. 489. This deed suggests that his wife Elizabeth was still alive, because she held a life estate in the land and her sons John and Jesse had not yet taken possession of the land. | Bennett, John (I675)

|
| 1487 | Joseph Harrison is tentatively identified as the brother of Gideon Harrison. Joseph is approximately the same age as Gideon, was listed in the 1820 census in Davidson Co, NC, and was listed in the 1830 census in Gibson Co. TN. The evidence suggests a family connection and both migrated from Davidson Co., NC to Gibson Co., TN. | Harrison, Joseph (I8271)
|
| 1488 | Josephine Bennett remained single and never married. She is listed as a resident of the State Hospital in Morganton, North Carolina for the Insane in every census from 1910 to 1940. Her death certificate in 1961 lists her occupation as inmate. | Bennett, Josephine Holderby “Josie” (I3985)

|
| 1490 | Joshua Herron first appears in SC records in the 1820 census of the Pendleton District. 1820 Census of Pendleton District (Includes present day Pickens, Oconee and Anderson Counties) p. 274, Herren, Joshua Male under 10: 3 Male of 10 & under 16: 2 Male of 26 & under 45: 2 Female of 10 & under 16: 1 Female of 16 & under 26: 2 Female of 26 & under 45: 1 Notice that there are 6 males in the household other than Joshua, 5 who are 16 or under. There is another male in the 26-45 age group who would be too old to be Joshua’s son. We will call this person the mystery man. We can only speculate on who this person might be. Mike Hearne obviously believes that this is Joshua’s brother Moses. But, there is another possibility that Mike has overlooked. More on that later. There are also 4 females in the household, one would be his wife, Sarah. Since Joshua is 40 years old at this time, he could have two daughters between the ages of 16 and 20. I can only identify the youngest daughter. The two older girls are absent from any records that I know of after this point. On 28 Dec 1822, Joshua Herron purchased 155 acres of land on Lick Log Creek in Pickens County from Gideon Norton. This deed was witnessed by Jeptha Norton. Remember this name. It shows up in some records in which some Herrons are involved and is one of the ways that I know that it is the right Herron group. Joshua Herron appears to have been a reasonably prosperous person. He owned two tracts of land. Joshua signed his name indicating that he was literate. All his children used a mark. But, it appears that this prosperity did not descend to his children. The family seems to have had very hard times in South Carolina. The next record for Joshua is the 1830 census. 1830 Census of Pickens County, SC p. 307 Joshua Herrin Male 10 to 15: 2 Male 15 to 20: 2 Male 20 to 30: 1 Male 40 to 50: 1 Female 50 to 60: 1 This is consistent with the 1820 census. It appears to shows Joshua and 5 other male children. All daughters are absent. This is not really noteworthy as the youngest daughter would be at least 20 years old, so all could be married and living with their husbands by this time. The mystery man is absent from this record. Since he is absent and all five male children remain, I am assuming that all five are sons of Joshua. On 15 Mar 1831, Joshua Herron purchased 112 acres on Lick Log Creek from James Billingsley. This is the second tract of land owned by Joshua. So, what I have done is to look for all records of Herrons with some connection to that corner of the state. I have found 6 different males, 5 of which seem to be the correct age to be children of Joshua. The sixth, is too old to be a child, but he could be our mystery man. Here is what I have found. Children of Joshua Herron 1. Moses Herron – On 4 May 1832, Joshua Herron sold 145 acres on Lick Log Creek (this is the same tract he purchased from Gideon Norton) to Daniel Sims. This deed was witnessed by Moses Herron and William Sims. Since Moses Herron appears in the same record as Joshua, we actually have good evidence that these are related individuals. In 1837, some residents of Pickens District, petitioned the legislature for relocated the village of Pickens to a new location. County petitions were filed by other residents opposing this motion. One of these opposing petitions was signed by Moses Herron, James Herron, and Alfred Herron (South Carolina, Legislative Petitions, Series S165015, Item 04411, SC Archives, Columbia). Other signatories for this petition are William Sims, William Sims, Jr. and William M. Morton. William Sims, along with Moses Herron, was a witness to the Joshua Herron deed. At the time of this petition, William M. Morton is the future father-in-law of William Herron. That is the last record I have for Moses. I have an idea that he moved to Georgia, but not much to back it up. 2. James Herron – James Herron appears in only two records that I have found so far. First, James Herron appears on a jury list for Pickens County in 1835. Second, in 1837, he signed the legislative petition I mentioned above. In this second record he is joined by Moses and Alfred Herron so we know that he is associated with our family. That’s it. There is no record of James Herron after 1837. James and Moses appear to be the two oldest sons. 3. John Herron – John is the middle son. Another copy of the legislative petition against moving the courthouse was signed by J. Herron in 1837. (South Carolina, Legislative Petitions, Series S165015, Item 04406, SC Archives, Columbia.). This copy was also signed by Jeptha Norton who was a witness to the first Joshua Herron deed. This could be either Joshua or John. John is absent from the 1840 census. The household of Joshua Herron contains no male children and there is not a separate listing for John Herron. An 1842 jury list for Pickens County shows John Herron with the notation, “not found in District.” This supports the conclusion that John is not simply enumerated in another household in Pickens County, but that he has left the county altogether. John is back in Pickens County for the 1850 census where he is a neighbor of Joshua and Alfred Herron. The oldest son of John is named Alfred, perhaps after John’s brother. John died before the 1860 census so there are no additional records of him. I have found his grave in the Wolf Pit Cemetery. I believe that John and Moses Herron moved to Georgia. Since Moses signed the legislative petition in 1837, and then was absent from the 1840 census, I believe they moved between these two dates. The only evidence I have to support this is the 1860 census which lists the birthplace of John’s children as Georgia. The jury list does indicate that John was not found in the District. A John and Moses Herron do appear in the 1840 census of Lumpkin County, Georgia. Dahlonega is located in Lumpkin County. This was Cherokee territory by treaty until gold was discovered. Dahlonega became the site of the first gold rush in our nation’s history. So much gold was being found in that in 1838 the US opened a mint in Dahlonega. I wonder if John and Moses went to Lumpkin County in search of fortunes. In any case, John returns to Pickens Co., SC by 1850. Moses Herron stays in Georgia. 4. Alfred Herron – Alfred Herron first appears in the legislative petition mentioned above. He is listed adjacent to Joshua Herron in the 1840 census. He is also a neighbor in the 1850 census. Alfred Herron named his first son Joshua. 70 year old Jane Maloy is listed in Alfred’s household in the 1850 census. I am presuming that this is his mother-in-law making his wife Elizabeth Maloy. There is a significant chance that this is not correct. 5. William Herron – William Herron is the youngest. I can place William in Pickens County in 1841. On 4 Jan 1841, Joseph Sims and others sold 145 acres on Lick Log Creek to Evan Nicholsonwith William Herron and William M. Morton as witnesses. William M. Morton is the father-in-law of William Herron. This is the same land sold by Joshua Herron to Daniel Sims. After Daniel Sims’ death, his heirs, by this deed, sold the land to Evan Nicholson. I should note here that Evan Nicholson also purchased the second tract of land owned by Joshua Herron. In 1850, William Herron is found in the census for Rabun Co., GA in dwelling #346. These Herrons lived along the Chattooga River which forms the border between South Carolina and Georgia. While most lived in SC, some can be found on the other side of the river in Rabun Co. Several neighbors of William in the 1850 census have notable connections to the Herron family. James Billingsley, dwelling #359 sold Joshua Herron 112 acres on Lick Log Creek in Pickens Co., SC in 1831 (Deed Book C-1, Page 301). In 1848, Elizabeth Herron sold this same 112 acres to Evan Nicholson who is enumerated in dwelling #345 (Deed Book F-1, Page 153). Manly Teague and his wife Milly are shown in dwelling #357. Milly is widow living in the household of Elizabeth Herron, widow of Alfred, in the 1870 census of Macon Co., NC. And lastly, another Herron, 52 year old Joseph, is listed in dwelling #351. Hmm. Just who is Joseph Herron. He is too old to be a son of Joshua. Perhaps he is the older male enumerated in the household of Joshua Herron in the 1820 census of Pendleton District.Joseph Herron could be our mystery man. William Herron is in Franklin Co., Ga for the 1860 census and returns to Oconee Co., SC for the 1870 census. He is buried in the Wolf Pit Cemetery where John Herron is buried. Several children of William are also buried in the Wolf Pit. I have death certificates for some which indicate their mother’s name as Nellie Morton. Nellie Morton is the daughter of William M. Morton who appears in several records involving the Herrons. That is basically what I know about Joshua Herron. I am aware of the records involving a Joshua Herron in Rutherford Co., NC and Spartanburg Co., SC. There are also two Joshua Herrings in Sampsons Co., NC in 1810. One is missing in 1820, so he is another possibility. | Herron, Joshua (I6301)

| 1491 | Judith Hill appears in the 1820 census in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The 1820 census was taken on 7 August 1820. Judith Hill also appears in the property tax list for Pittsylvania County, Virginia in 1820, but is absent in the following years. On 3 May 1821, Daniel Burford sold the interest of his wife Susannah in the estate of her mother, Judith Hill, to William D. Hill for $150. He also gave Hill a power of attorney. Eliza M. Hill and Catherine Burch were witness to the deed. Assuming that the Judith Hill of Pittsylvania County and Judith Hill of Amherst County are the same person, it appears that Judith Hill died sometime between 7 August 1820 and 3 May 1821.

| 1493 | Julia Young was the daughter of Robert Young and Mary, whose maiden name is not known. The parents of Julia Young are identified through records involving her brother Robert and sister Emily. Julia Young had a sister named Emily Young. Emily left a will in Rockingham Co., NC dated 14 Feb. 1868 and probated during the May session 1868. She made bequests to her brother Robert J. Young, niece Mary E. Carrell, and her unnamed mother. Mary E. Carrell is the daughter of Julia Ann Young and John L. Carrell. Julia's brother Robert married Mary L. Pigram in 1871. The marriage license identifies his parents and Robert and Mary Young. The 1850 census lists Mary Young, 65, as head of household. She is living with her daughter Emily, 26, and son Robert, 22. The 1860 census lists Mary Young, 70, as head of household. She is living with her daughter Emily, 32, and son Robert, 27. The 1870 census lists Robert J. Young as head of household. Mary Young 81 is living with her son Robert. The 1880 census lists Robert J. Young as head of household. | Young, Julia Ann (I34)
