Hello. I talked to my cousin, John Herron, out west. He said that William Stewart Herron's dad was from
Williamson County. So they were your cousins. He called W.S. Herron's dad's name but I let it slip by.
John was very interested in what you had to say but does not have the ability to get to a
computer except perhaps at his local library which I was trying to get him to do.
One of William Stewart Herron's grandson is named Temple Herron and he lives in California.
He will turn 102 in October. He was the son of my great aunt, Sallie Temple Herron and her husband,
Tate Herron.
Something interesting is that W. S. Herron supposedly had a slave that went to war with
him. When the war was over and when he came on to Arkansas the slave came too.
The former slave's name was Ross.
Cousin has just learned that after the war, W.S. Herron gave his son the middle name of
Ross in honor of the slave who went to war with him,.That man's name was Edward Ross Herron.
Later, Ed took off to Califonia after going bust in Arkansas.
William Stewart Herron does have a marker that says, "7th Tennessee Cav." The reason I knew that was
because his obit stated that and so when I ordered his marker, it finally got marked properly.
