Edward Herndon was born in 1702 in King and Queen Co VA. And in 1727 in King and Queen Co VA, Edward married Elizabeth Stubblefield b. 1706 in Albemarle Co VA.
Edward and his family is important to this research; as his children married into both the Lewis and Colston families of Spotsylvania Co VA. Due to such a close family alliance, family members witnessed wills and acted as executors for multiple estates. The Herndon Family records provide insight into the Lewis Family history. Edward died 11/5/1759 in Spotsylvania Co VA. But, his descendants continued to live their lives intertwined with the Lewises.
