I’ve indexed a collection of Wayne County wills available at FamilySearch.org, entitled “Wayne County Wills – 1776-1805, Vol. A-Z.”
Maybe you’ll find one of your ancestors here.
Elias (Coleman) Coaleman, Oct 1795

Depositions re: Dr. Thomas Boykin’s will
Charles Hines (Hynes), Jan 1794
Thank You Sarah, I am researching to establish a connection between [Thomas] Charles Holmes who married Elizabeth Jordan in 1794 in Wayne. I know from land records that this Herring and this Holmes are connected with Frederick Herring. Thanks to you I located the will of Frederick Herring and are deductively a step further in the process. Wayne Co NC DB 5-E page 112 lists Charles and Elizabeth Holmes as legalese of a “certain bond” executed by Frederick Herring, 15 Oct 1794. I have yet to locate that CERTAIN BOND.
anyway, Thank You, Judy
Judy,
I apologize for the slow response on this comment. Somehow, I missed the notification when it came in and only just saw this while I was going through past comments. I’m so happy you’ve been able to find another clue about your ancestors. If you would like for me to add a query to this site, just let me know. I’ll post it here: East Carolina Roots Queries
Thank you,

I have that Charles’ wife Elizabeth was Elizabeth Herring, not Jordan, and she was daughter of Frederick Herring and Patty Jordan.
Correction on my post above. Elizabeth Herring’s mother was Patty Jernigan, not Jordan. Sorry for the error.
