1860. Amos Herring is said to have remarried Elizabeth Chestnutt after his first wfe dies and there is an Elizabeth Herring (nee Chestnutt) listed in Taylor's Bridge in 1860 with two children: James ag, e 5 and Allmond 2. The earliest his first wife died is about 1851 so I believe Amos remarried in about 1853 and then he died in 1860.

1860. Between 1850 and 1860, a lot happened. Mary Jane died, Amos married second Elizabeth Chestnutt and then, in Jan 1860, Amos died. His son Thomas is 9 in 1860. Amos has died. But, he is said to have remarried Elizabeth Chestnutt after the death of his wife and there is an Elizabeth Herring (nee Chestnutt) listed in Taylor's Bridge in 1860 with two children: James age 5 and Allmond 2. The Sampson County History says Amos and Mary Jane had 9 children including James and Almond. I suspect that Mary Jane died in childbirth with Thomas in 1851, Amos remarried in about 1853 and then he died in 1860.
