From "Tennessee Valley Texas 1851-1951" by Ann Joseph, Stillhouse Hollow Publishing, Temple, TX:
Brother to Thomas, Will Herring, visited Texas only twice as he preferred Tennessee, but his son W. Newt bought the James S. Allen place (32 acres) in 1914 for $1600. It still had all varieties of trees and even albino berry plants surviving from the original orchard and a log cabin in back full of bee gum. In 1892, he married Minnie Dillard who was staying with her Stokes relatives from Arkansas. Newt stocked the local store with $58 worth of dry goods, candy and tobacco, and raised a family of seven: Esther (wife of Dr. Pittman), Newton (storekeeper in the Valley), Hazel, Millard, Katherine, and Mayolen (died as an infant).
