Carey 
Carey was born on September 24th, 1827. Carey's father was Thomas Herndon and his mother was Nancy Keen. His paternal grandparents were William Herndon and Mary Bohannon. He had three brothers and six sisters, named Gideon, Milton, Archer, Sophronia, Susanna, Eva, Elizabeth, Mary and Frances. He was the third youngest of the ten children.General Notes
lived in Sangamon County, Ill., in 1856.
Just thought as a Herndon researcher I might let you know I had followed Sarah Dant Herndon after Carey had passed away. What I found was that she had married a Lewis J. Ferguson 28 Oct 1858 in Menard County, Illinois. On the 1860 Athens, Menard County census, Sarah was listed married to Lewis Ferguson and there was a Herndon female child listed by the name of Melvina, born about 1854 in Illinois.
Since Lewis J. Ferguson was captured and taken to Andersonville Prison in Georgia and subsequently died there in 1864, I was unable to find Sarah & Melvina in the 1870 census records and thereafter. But, I thought you might be interested that a child was born of the union between Carey Jones and Sarah.
My own descendency in the Herndon line is through William Henry Herndon of Springfield, Illinois. The full line is James Nathaniel, Beverly Houston and Houston Beverly Herndon.
Hope this information is of some help to you in your research.
Respectfully,
Carole Herndon Weimer
