Page 8: Descendants of William Herndon and Catherine Digges[1]

served as a Grand Juror in Irwin County in the September term of 1848 and at other times. The 1850 census for Irwin County, Georgia, shows living in the same household were David, age 37, born in South Carolina, a farmer; Eliza, age 38, born in Georgia; John, age 15; George, age 13; Louis M., age 12; Joshua, age 8; Rachel, age 5; David, age 3; and Rebecca Ann, age seven months. The census shows that all the children were born in Georgia. Information from Dudley Herndon

The following appeared in "Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia", Vol. I, P. 127: After several years spent in Irwin County farming and stock-raising, David Herndon, in about 1855 sold his farm and moved to that part of Lowndes county, Georgia, that was in 1858, cut off and formed part of Echols County.

The 1860 census for Echols Co., Georgia, shows David Herndon, age 44, (actually 47) was living on vacant land and his personal property was valued at $580.00. Living in the household were his wife, Elisa, age 47; James, age 21; Joshua, age 18; Rachel, age 15: David, age 13; Rebecca Ann, age 10; William, age 8; and Howell, age 6. According to the census, all the younger members living in the household were born in Georgia and David and Eliza were born in South Carolina.

When the Sardis Baptist Church in Echols County was organized in April 1862, David and Eliza Herndon were among the early members.

David, age 51 years, a farmer, born in South Carolina appears in the list of men living in the 6th Senatorial District, 1058th Militia District, of Echols County, Georgia. This list identifies all free white males living in the district between 16 years of age and 60 years of age, except those in the Confederate Army or Navy or subject to conscription in the Confederate armed forces.

At the next Federal census, 1870, for the same county, 16th District; David Herndon, age 60 born in Georgia, a laborer on a farm, had living in the household: Rachel (probably an enumerator error), age 56; Rebecca, age 21; William, age 18; Howell, age 16; and John, age 32.
