JAMES MADISON5 'MATT' HERRINGTON (Samuel S.4, William3, Charles2, John1) son of Samuel S. Herrington and Mary, was born August 1824, and died August 08, 1908 in Ellisville, Jones Co Mississippi

He married MARTHA JANE BARLOW, 1852. The daughter of Bryant Barlow and Nancy Herrington/Harrington, she was born 1831 in Mississippi, and died before 1900 in Jones Co Mississippi, burial in Jones Co Mississippi. Nancy's parents are unknown, her maiden name has been verified by the death certificate of son, Darling Barlow.

From Roger Herrington: There are 2 unmarked graves next to Madison and Martha's son, James M. Herrington, believed to be that of Madison and Martha but, no proof has been found.

Notes for Mahala A. Welborne from Frances Westbrook:
Mahala A. Welborn death occured while she resided at 1322 Carondelet Street, Orleans Parish, New Orleans, Louisiana. She died at Charity Hospital, for New Orleans was the biggest and best hospital.

Marks was the undertaker, and possible funeral directors were P. Henry Lanauze and W. J. Prudhomme. An interesting note is that Mahala's death certificate is listed like this:
