Notes	From the Pioneers of Missouri book, which is not always accurate: Lydia married William C. Herron. Speculation at this point: I believe she married William Jarrod Herring for several reasons. I have not found a marriage record, so this is speculation, but it does all fit. The Herring family in Callaway county at that time often had their name spelled Herron. There was no other William Herring or Herron in Callaway, Boone, Audrain, or Cole counties of anywhere near the corresponding age of Lydia. William married Rebecca Knight, Sept. 14, 1848. There has always been a question about their first child. She was born June 30, 1847, a year and 3 months before the marriage. There was plenty of time for William to have married Lydia Scott, had a daughter by her, she died, and he married a second time. I have found no further records of Lydia, she is not on any census in 1850 or later, I believe she died in 1847. Note: I have now found conflicting birth years for the daughter in question. Some records say 1847, some say 1849. I will continue to search for information about this, but for right now I am going to link Lydia to William Herring.
