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
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

A couple of years ago I removed all advertising on this site from Google Adsense, as well as any sort of tracking scripts from Facebook or Google or any other parties. I invited visitors to chip in a few dollars to help offset the cost of hosting and maintaining the site. Many folks did step up and have offered to make donations, but now I own the server that the site is on and hosting is no longer an issue. BUT if you do feel helped out by the material here, please consider donating a few dollars to one of my absolute favorite genealogical resources, the Kellenberger Room at the New Bern Library.
Please send a check payable to New Bern Craven Co. Public Library with Kellenberger Room in the memo line to:

I’ve indexed a collection of Wayne County wills available at FamilySearch.org, entitled “Wayne County Wills – 1776-1805, Vol. A-Z.”

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.
