I just found a one liner in Mr. Maddox' book about James Herndon, son of Love Herndon being charged with murder in 1867. Love was my James' father. I placed a call a few weeks ago to the library there and someone is going to the courthouse to see if there are papers she can copy for me. We knew James had left everything and everyone behind. Now we know why. James lived until 1925 and was a wonderful father and grandfather. We would love to know what happened. There is a Wesley Herndon in the CSA from Wilkinson Co. Does anyone have information on him? I don't know if this is my James Wesley Herndon or not. Any help would be great.
