HERRING FAMILY

Roster


The within document is an attempt to list every Herring that appears in Sampson 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 65 Herring males or females in Sampson County, North Carolina prior to 1820.
