Not to interupt...Herron is a border Scot Clan that were dispersed under the unification of the crowns 1603-1625 do to their Rieving ways. Many went to Ulster(N.Ireland) to avoid persecution and or prosecution.There is the opinion that if you are b. in Ireland then you are Irish. That may be so.In this case the time in question you would be known as an Ulster Scot not Irish. Just some info..I myself in the same boat.
