Norma,
Here is some more info on the Balke's, Sherlock's & Herrings.
Melvira Sherlock's first husband was Henry E. Herring. b. 08 Feb 1865 in AR, m. 14 Dec 1888 in Sebastian Co, AR, d. 26 May 1901 in Sebastian Co, AR.They had 5 children:Edith, b. Feb 1889 in AR; Leonard H. "Leo", b. 13 Dec 1892 in AR, m. Nettie M. Unknown, d. Jan 1972 in San Antonio, Bexar Co, TX; Bernie Andrew Herring (m), b. Nov 1893 in AR, m. Clara may Townsend abt 1917; Christina M. Herring, b. May 1896 in AR; and, James B. Herring, b. Abt 1901 in AR.
I show that after Henry Herring died, Melvira m. a Balke (I have she married Samuel C. Balke).They m. in abt 1909 and apparently moved to MO from AR.They had three children, Marton O. Balke, b. 18 Aug 1902 in MO, d. Feb 1986 in Eureka Humboldt Co, CA, m. Dorothy Unknown; Samuel H. Balke, b. Abt 1904 in MO, m. Ina Unknown; and Theodore L. Balke, b. 14 Sep 1905 in MO, d. Mar 1986 in El Paso, El Paso Co, TX.
Henry E. Herring was the son of Elkana Herring, b. 1825 in GA. d. abt 1865 and Christina Maria Unknown, b. Abt 1823 in NY, d. 1876 in Sebsastian Co, AR.Both Christiana and Henry E. are buried at Calvery Cemetery, Fort Smith, Sebastion Co, AR.
Elkana was the son of John Herring, b. 1784 in SC, d. 1838 in Jackson Co, FL.He m. Mary "Polly" Foreman in about 1808 in Jefferson Co, GA.Elkana was the 8th of their 12 children.Mary d. abt 1870 in Eufaula, Barbour Co, AL.
Hope this helps some you and other Balke researchers.
