GEORGE H. HERRING, son of Bryant and Piercy Herring, was born in Hayward county,
Tennessee, June 13, 1834. When nine years of age his parents moved to Yell
county, Arkansas, and engaged in farming. In the spring of 1859 George came
across the plains with an ox-team, arriving in Plumas county in September. He
became interested in a mining claim on Rich gulch, and worked it until the next
summer. He worked on a farm in Indian valley for six months, spent six months in
Colusa county, and some time after bought eighty acres of land near Crescent,
which he lived on four years, and sold to D. S. Hedrick. He returned to Arkansas
in 1868, but came back in 1870, and a year after purchased the Hussey ranch, of
200 acres in the north arm of Indian valley, on which he has since lived. He was
married January 8, 1873, to Miss Sylvia Johnson of Davis county, Iowa. Their
children are Stella, born November 20, 1873; Ada, February 12, 1875; Charles,
March 31, 1877; Marcus, December 12, 1878; Earl, April 12. 1881—all of whom are
living.
