NOTES:
You can view the actual documents here: Google Photos
I attempted a partial reconstruction of the John George Herring family using these documents and what I could find in SCMAR Volume X, Number 4, Fall 1982, the 1850 Lexington County Census, and Dutch Fork Digest Vol. IX, 1994.
There is additional information in The South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research (SCMAR) Volume X, Number 4, Fall 1982, that correlates to these receipts.
These documents were also previously published in The South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research by Brent H. Holcomb, as well as the Dutch Fork Digest.
ABOUT:
I purchased these documents on eBay. According to the seller, these were
found in the attic of an old Victorian style house in the Irmo/Chapin area. The
new owner of the house would not give any additional details to the seller, and wants to remain anonymous. I was told they were
part of a larger cache of documents relating to the Stock family, which also
contained Civil War era documents, but unfortunately they were sold to a
private collector, and they refused my request for any additional info.
In the Lexington County South Carolina 1850 Census book by the Lexington
Genealogical Association, you can find Michael Stock on page 129 (at the
bottom), his wife was Maria Magdelen Herring, a daughter of John George
Herring. (transcribed as Stuck, his full name is
William Michael Stock, he was the administrator of this estate)
I tried to, as close as possible, transcribe as they were written, but some of
the documents are in poor condition, and mistakes may have been made.
