1935 - 2012 (77 years)| 1. | Robert Frank Herndon was born on 19 Jul 1935 in Houston, Harris County, Texas, United States (son of Robert Paul Herndon and Elizabeth Marina Masten); died on 4 Aug 2012 in El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States; was buried on 16 Aug 2012 in Fort Bliss National Cemetery, El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Robert Frank Herndon was officially renamed ‘Donald Stiles Herndon’ by his maternal grandmother, Lois Miranda (Stiles) Masten, upon his adoption by her in 1941, but she was using this name as early as 1940 as indicated by [US-1940-1b]. Family members continued to refer to Robert by the name ‘Don’, but he used his birth name professionally throughout most of his life. Family/Spouse: (Living). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] Children: |
| 2. |  Robert Paul Herndon was born on 9 Oct 1909 in Durant, Bryan County, Oklahoma, United States (son of Robert Boyd Herndon and Tennie May Calhoun); died on 12 Dec 1992 in West Memphis, Crittenden County, Arkansas, United States; was buried on 15 Dec 1992 in Dogwood Cemetery, near Blytheville, Mississippi County, Arkansas, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Robert Paul Herndon abandoned his first wife and sons late in 1936 or early in 1937. Family rumors indicate that he attended Elizabeth Marina Masten’s funeral, but since he was incarcerated in Ft. Worth, Tarrant County, Texas in 1937, this seems unlikely. From late in 1941 through 1956, he was incarcerated in California, and [Cobb-1992] indicates that he was a resident of West Memphis from 1986 through his death in 1992. Robert married Elizabeth Marina Masten on 13 Apr 1932 in Las Cruces, Doña Ana County, New Mexico, United States. Elizabeth (daughter of Merlin Douglas Masten and Lois Miranda Stiles) was born on 5 Feb 1915 in Mimbres, Grant County, New Mexico, United States; died on 20 Sep 1937 in El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States; was buried on 21 Sep 1937 in Restlawn Memorial Park, El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States.

| 3. |  Elizabeth Marina Masten was born on 5 Feb 1915 in Mimbres, Grant County, New Mexico, United States (daughter of Merlin Douglas Masten and Lois Miranda Stiles); died on 20 Sep 1937 in El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States; was buried on 21 Sep 1937 in Restlawn Memorial Park, El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: [DonaAna-1932] has Elizabeth Masten claiming her birth date is 5 February 1914 which would have made her 18 at the time of the wedding. But, since it appears that the marriage was conducting without the permission of her mother, Lois Miranda (Stiles) Masten, Elizabeth probably lied on the certificate. Notes: A ‘Mrs. H. Mabry’ (Tennie (Calhoun-Herndon) Mabry) witnessed the marriage of Robert Paul Herndon to Elizabeth Marina Masten in New Mexico in 1932.

| 4. |  Robert Boyd Herndon was born on 22 Jun 1886 in Chicota, Lamar County, Texas, United States (son of George Wallace Herndon and Mary Emma Draper); died on 9 Mar 1934 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, United States; was buried on 10 Mar 1934 in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Hugo, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Sometime between 1917 and 1920, Robert Boyd Herndon and Tennie May Calhoun separated, as he is living alone in Wichita Falls, Wichita County, Texas in 1920. By 1930, he is living in Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma. [US-1930-1i] has two entries for Robert. In the first he lists himself as “single”. In the second his is listed as “widowed”. The location of Tennie and of Robert Boyd’s sons, Robert Paul Herndon and William Pryor Herndon, in 1920 has not yet been established. Although it is known that the boys were not living with any of their immediate Herndon relatives in 1920. Robert married Tennie May Calhoun on 12 Dec 1908 in Durant, Bryan County, Oklahoma, United States. Tennie (daughter of James Marion Calhoun and Sarah Elizabeth Turpin) was born on 1 May 1891 in Sherman, Grayson County, Texas, United States; died on 7 Nov 1977 in Port Hueneme, Ventura County, California, United States; was buried after 7 Nov 1977 in (unknown).

Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: A ‘Mrs. H. Mabry’ witnessed the marriage of Robert Paul Herndon to Elizabeth Marina Masten in New Mexico in 1932. Notes: Tennie’s parents, James Marion Calhoun and Sarah Elizabeth (Turpin) Calhoun, served as witnesses for the marriage license application and marriage certificate.

| 6. |  Merlin Douglas Masten was born on 21 Dec 1887 in Boque Chitto, Lincoln County, Mississippi, United States (son of Horace Greely Masten and Alice Frances Stone); died on 5 Mar 1962 in Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington, United States; was buried on 12 Mar 1962 in Woodlawn Cemetery, near Ferndale, Whatcom County, Washington, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Source [US-SSS-1917b] has Merlin Douglas Masten’s birthdate as 21 Dec 1887. [Whatcom-1962], Merlin’s death certificate, has his age correct but lists a birthdate off by exactly one decade, 21 Dec 1877. [US-1900-1e] and [Masten-1900] also support the date in 1887, listing Merlin as having been born in 1888. Only [US-SSA-1941a], Merlin’s original Social Security application, lists his birthdate as 21 Dec 1886. Merlin married Lois Miranda Stiles on 27 Dec 1911 in _______, Williamson County, Texas, United States, and was divorced after 17 Aug 1927 in El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States. Lois (daughter of Francis Newton Stiles and Marina Floyd Thomas) was born on 4 Mar 1885 in Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States; died on 19 May 1975 in El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States; was buried on 22 May 1975 in Restlawn Memorial Park, El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
| 7. |  Lois Miranda Stiles was born on 4 Mar 1885 in Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States (daughter of Francis Newton Stiles and Marina Floyd Thomas); died on 19 May 1975 in El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States; was buried on 22 May 1975 in Restlawn Memorial Park, El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Lois Miranda Stiles adopted her grandsons, William Cecil Herndon and Robert Frank Herndon, in 1941, about four years after the death of her daughter Elizabeth Marina in 1937. She officially changed Robert’s name to “Donald Stiles Herndon” but did not change William’s name. Notes: 17 Aug 1927 is the date that the divorce petition was recorded in the El Paso Herald. Presumably Lois Miranda (Stiles) Masten’s divorce from Merlin was granted sometime afterwards.

| 8. | George Wallace Herndon was born on 20 Jun 1850 in Kings Mountain, Cleveland County, North Carolina, United States (son of William Herndon and Delina Langford); died on 4 Oct 1911 in Hugo, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, United States; was buried after 4 Oct 1911 in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Hugo, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: George Wallace Herndon was enumerated with his mother and brothers in Precinct No. 1, Lamar County, Texas in 1880. The whereabouts of his wife, Mary Emma (Draper) Herndon and his two eldest sons Justin Alonzo Herndon and William Draper Herndon are not known. George married Mary Emma Draper on 23 Dec 1875 in Chicota, Lamar County, Texas, United States. Mary (daughter of Robert Wilkins Draper and Susan Elliott Littlejohn) was born on 8 Jan 1857 in _______, Calhoun County, Alabama, United States; died on 6 Feb 1937 in El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States; was buried on 9 Feb 1937 in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Hugo, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
| 9. |  Mary Emma Draper was born on 8 Jan 1857 in _______, Calhoun County, Alabama, United States (daughter of Robert Wilkins Draper and Susan Elliott Littlejohn); died on 6 Feb 1937 in El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States; was buried on 9 Feb 1937 in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Hugo, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Mary Emma Draper was living in the home of her daughter Justina and son-in-law Edward A Dunne at the time of her death in 1937. This is corroborated by sources [Hugo-1934] and [Hugo-1937]. Notes: [Anderson-1964] incorrectly lists 22 Dec 1875 as the date of George Wallace Herndon’s marriage to Mary Emma Draper.

| 10. | James Marion Calhoun was born on 28 Jan 1843 in _______, Adair County, Kentucky, United States (son of James T Calhoun and Elizabeth Calhoun); died on 1 Feb 1915 in (unknown); was buried after 1 Feb 1915 in Highland Cemetery, Durant, Bryan County, Oklahoma, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: There are at least 2 “James M” or “James N” Calhouns, born in 1842/43 living in or around Adair and Wayne counties in Kentucky in 1850 - 1870. The first, James M Calhoun son of Andrew John (A J) and Catherine Calhoun, is initially noted in the 1850 US Federal Census for Wayne County. But this James Calhoun is also noted as still living with his parents in the 1870 census. By 1870, our James Marion Calhoun was already married to Sarah Elizabeth Turpin, and is referenced in [US-1870-1d]. Moreover, our James M Calhoun lists his birth place as Adair County, Kentucky. So I believe that our James Calhoun is the son of James T and Elizabeth Calhoun who were living in the 2nd District, Adair County in both 1850 and 1860. James married Sarah Elizabeth Turpin about 1868 in _______, _______, Kentucky, United States. Sarah (daughter of James Turpin and Martha Ann Turpin) was born on 1 Mar 1850 in _______, _______, Kentucky, United States; died on 28 Jul 1930 in (unknown); was buried after 28 Jul 1930 in Highland Cemetery, Durant, Bryan County, Oklahoma, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
| 11. |  Sarah Elizabeth Turpin was born on 1 Mar 1850 in _______, _______, Kentucky, United States (daughter of James Turpin and Martha Ann Turpin); died on 28 Jul 1930 in (unknown); was buried after 28 Jul 1930 in Highland Cemetery, Durant, Bryan County, Oklahoma, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: [Grayson,1942a] has Sarah Elizabeth Turpin being born in Adair County, Kentucky in 1850, but considering the Turpin family’s presence in Wayne County 1850, this is extremely unlikely. It is more likely that Rebecca (Bradley) Calhoun, the filer of Tennie May Calhoun’s probate birth certificate, didn’t know the birth places of her sister-in-law’s parents and simply listed Adair County, the last location in Kentucky where they where know to have lived. LDS IGI records, on the other hand, have a listing for a “Sarah E Turpin,” born to James and Martha in Wayne County, in 1849.

| 12. |  Horace Greely Masten was born on 12 Oct 1857 in Loogootee, Martin County, Indiana, United States (son of James Blackwell Maston and Susan M Bertrand); died on 10 Dec 1911 in Neame, Vernon Parish, Louisiana, United States; was buried on 12 Dec 1911 in Orange Grove Cemetery, Lake Charles, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Despite being listed in the 1870, 1880, and 1900 US Federal Census’ with the last name of “Maston,” Horace used the name “Masten” throughout most of his life. Horace married Alice Frances Stone after 20 Apr 1886 in _______, Hinds County, Mississippi, United States. Alice (daughter of Thomas J Stone and Catherine Stone) was born on 29 Jan 1865 in Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi, United States; died on 10 Jun 1916 in Oakdale, Allen Parish, Louisiana, United States; was buried on 11 Jun 1916 in Orange Grove Cemetery, Lake Charles, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
| 13. |  Alice Frances Stone was born on 29 Jan 1865 in Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi, United States (daughter of Thomas J Stone and Catherine Stone); died on 10 Jun 1916 in Oakdale, Allen Parish, Louisiana, United States; was buried on 11 Jun 1916 in Orange Grove Cemetery, Lake Charles, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: An “Alice Frances Masten,” who died on 10 Mar 1916, is found in [SoLAD-2002a]. This is probably the “Alice F Stone[US-1970e]. However, The date of death and age at death both conflict with information from [George-2002]. Additional research is required. Notes: 20 Apr 1886 is the date Horace Greely Masten and Alice Frances Stone declared their intent to marry and registered with with the Hinds County clerk. It *IS NOT* the date of their marriage.

| 14. |  Francis Newton Stiles was born in Dec 1837 in Lincoln, Lincoln County, Tennessee, United States (son of Seaborn Stiles and Rebecca Fincher); died on 1 Jul 1911 in Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States; was buried on 2 Jul 1911 in Stiles Cemetery, near Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Every census record from 1850 though 1910 in addition to [TxDoSHS-1911a] lists an age for Francis Newton Stiles’ consistent with a birthdate in 1837 or 1838. In fact [US-1900-1f], the only US census to list the month and year of an individual’s birth, reports his birthdate as “Dec 1837”. Despite this, 15 Sep 1841 (probably derived from Francis Newton Stiles’ headstone) is widely reported to be his birthdate. But if Francis Newton Stiles is accurately enumerated with his father’s family in 1840, as suggested by [US-1840a], then he cannot have been born in 1841. Moreover, [US-1840a] is the only census record discovered for Seaborn Stiles and his family in 1840...thus far, and is only consistent with the known number of children at the time if the 1837 birthdate for Francis Newton Stiles is accurate. Consequently, this database uses a birthdate of “Dec 1837” rather than 15 Sep 1841, since the latter isn’t consistent with any of the known facts of Francis Newton Stiles’ life. Francis married Marina Floyd Thomas on 24 Feb 1875 in Sabine, Milam County, Texas, United States. Marina (daughter of James T Thomas and Marina Clarinda Grice) was born on 29 Oct 1857 in Selma, Dallas County, Alabama, United States; died on 28 May 1898 in Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States; was buried after 28 May 1898 in Stiles Cemetery, near Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
| 15. |  Marina Floyd Thomas was born on 29 Oct 1857 in Selma, Dallas County, Alabama, United States (daughter of James T Thomas and Marina Clarinda Grice); died on 28 May 1898 in Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States; was buried after 28 May 1898 in Stiles Cemetery, near Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: [Stiles-1998] has birth year as 1847, but [McCown-1998] has birth year as 1857. The latter year also corresponds to information in [Stiles-1971] stating that the girls (Eliza J, Marina Floyd, Amanda, and Miranda) where all between the ages of 13 and 17 when they undertook the trip to Texas with their grandmother, in 1872.
