4 Interview, Mack Herron King by Elizabeth W. Williams, 1970: He had visited one of the daughters of John W. Herron who had married a Tevepaugh and resided in the Brushy Mountains, part of the Blue Ridge".
5 Gordy Stith website at http://www.gordy-stith.com/genealogy.htm. The middle name Williamson, for John Williamson Herron, comes from this site. No additional source for this middle name has been found. (Note: Murphy Whisnant reports that John W. Herron's name is sometimes seen in sources as only "William", thus making the Williamson middle name less likely.)

The Gordy-Stith site states that John and Sarah are both buried in Elmwood Cem. Charlotte; that Ed Hyland holds a copy of their marriage license; that Robert Smith research notes Sara Jane's maiden name was STEWART and that her mother, Elizabeth Stewart, was born in Ireland.

6 Military Record, from Murphy Whisnant,source not specified. John W. Herron served in the SCV - Co. H 35th Regiment NC Troops; entered Feb. 9, 1863.

Res. Num. Description Image of original
R1 1860 United States Federal Census Mecklenburg Co. NC Western Division P. O. Charlotte, date of census 1 Sept 1860, pg 139.


Lines 29-36: John Herron, age 58, laborer, value personal property $50; Lydia Herron, age 54; Zylphia Herron(female) age 23, laborer; Esther, age 21, laborer; Green (male) age 18, laborer; John, age 15, laborer; Calvin, age 13; Plesant (male) age ll. All born NC. John, Lydia, Zylphia & Esther can't read or write; remainder attended school during the year.
This appears to be an uncle of John W. Herron. He matches one of the brothers of William McDowell Herron.

R2 Mecklenburg County Marriage Bonds,by groom, pg. 105. Heron, J. W. married to M. J. Stewart, bond date 21 June 1865, bondsman H. S. Barkley; witness S. A. Harris. Married 21 June 1865 by John F. Butt, M. G.
This may be the source of the conjecture that John W. Herron married a Stewart. If the husband of of M. J. Stewart is John Williamson Herron, our direct line John W. Herron may have a different middle name.


Also in the record, p. 105, is a John A. Herron who marries Sarah M. Stewart, bond date 14 Jan. 1851; bondsman Arthur Armstrong, witness Thomas C. Allison.
