Howard Herndon,
I will have to present you text "piece-meal" because I don't do genealogy so I don't have everything in text or all in one place like some (my wife) have in gedcom files. I will place our family names in caps.
Major General DABNEY HERNDON MAURY (USA & CSA)
b.1818 Fredericksburg, Virginia
d. 1824 in Peoria, Illinois at his son's home (DABNEY HERNDON MAURY Jr.)
buried Fredericksburg, Virginia in the City cemetery with his immediate family.
His parents were Captain John MINOR MAURY(famous) and Eliza HERNDON.
Captain [USN] John MINOR MAURY was Commodore Matthew FONTAINE MAURY's eldest brother.
Captain John MINOR MAURY b.1795 d.1823 at sea of yellow fever.
Elizabeth HERNDON-MAURY was the daughter of Elizabeth BROOKE & FONTAINE MAURY.
issue: William LEWIS MAURY & (future general) DABNEY HERNDON MAURY.
BROOKE was a governor of Virginia.
I type this on-line and can provide more details later. However, you seek the HERNDON lineage and I don't know if I have that or not.
I will check and post again soon but on vague recall it goes back to a HERNDON who was a banker in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I have his name I just cannot recall it at this moment.
I think you are mistaken about William Henry HERNDON's book on Lincoln but I will ask others about that book.
I have always known it to be anti-Lincoln just as is our kinsman's book,_The Real Lincoln_, written by Charles LANGDON CARTER MINOR.
Respectfully,
Maury
