Nina Belle 
Nina was born in 1865. Nina's father was William Henry Herndon and her mother was Anna Miles. Her paternal grandparents were Archer Gray Herndon and Rebecca Johnson. She had a brother and a sister, named William and Minnie. She was the oldest of the three children. She had three half-brothers and three half-sisters, named James, Beverly, Leigh, Annie, Lizzie and Mollie. She died at the age of 36 on July 11th, 1901. She was buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery.General Notes
Through the course of time, William Henry Herndon's first daughter has been known as Nina Belle, at least in literature. After doing some grave hopping in Oak Ridge Cemetery and getting information from the office, I found this "lost" daughter. Cemetery records have her listed as Mamie Belle Cox in Block 14, Lot #41, along with William H. Herndon and his wives. Also buried there is a Josephine Cox, her daughter. There are no headstones. Mamie's date of burial is listed as 7-11-01 (actually date of death) and Josephine on 6-20-86. I have a copy of her marriage license to Frank J. Cox. The marriage date is listed as Aug 21, 1895 in Sangamon County, Illinois. Her parents were listed as W. H. Herndon and Anna Miles. Her obituary reads, "Cox--Died, at 7:55 o'clock Thursday night, July 11, 1901, at St. John's hospital......Miss Belle Cox." With this information, there is no doubt in my mind this is what became of William Henry's eldest child. Carole Herndon Weimer, descendent of William Henry Herndon.
