I’ve indexed a collection of Wayne County wills available at FamilySearch.org, entitled “Wayne County Wills – 1776-1805, Vol. A-Z.”
Maybe you’ll find one of your ancestors here.
Elias (Coleman) Coaleman, Oct 1795

Correction on my post above. Elizabeth Herring’s mother was Patty Jernigan, not Jordan. Sorry for the error.

I have that Charles’ wife Elizabeth was Elizabeth Herring, not Jordan, and she was daughter of Frederick Herring and Patty Jordan.

Thank You Sarah, I am researching to establish a connection between [Thomas] Charles Holmes who married Elizabeth Jordan in 1794 in Wayne. I know from land records that this Herring and this Holmes are connected with Frederick Herring. Thanks to you I located the will of Frederick Herring and are deductively a step further in the process. Wayne Co NC DB 5-E page 112 lists Charles and Elizabeth Holmes as legalese of a “certain bond” executed by Frederick Herring, 15 Oct 1794. I have yet to locate that CERTAIN BOND.
anyway, Thank You, Judy

Judy,
I apologize for the slow response on this comment. Somehow, I missed the notification when it came in and only just saw this while I was going through past comments. I’m so happy you’ve been able to find another clue about your ancestors. If you would like for me to add a query to this site, just let me know. I’ll post it here: East Carolina Roots Queries
Thank you,
