DUPLIN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA

HERRING FAMILY

Roster


The within document is an attempt to list every Herring that appears in Duplin County, North Carolina records prior to 1820, with a general reference to the records wherein they appear. An attempt has been made to separate those with the same given name where possible. Needless to say there is a measure of subjectivity involved, especially if the given name is very common (i.e. James, John, William). The following table list in excess of 110 Herring males or females in Duplin County, North Carolina prior to 1820.

This has been a particularly difficult task due to the sheer enormity of the size of the Herring Clan in Duplin, Sampson and New Hanover Co. (There are over 200 deeds in Duplin County alone before 1820.) Normally, I would abstract everything through 1850, but it was just too much. Many of the names are repeated throughout the various branches making it very difficult to figure out who was who. Perhaps this is a good start.
