A few sources have the name “William Wallace Herndon”. However, there is no clear evidence that either of these is correct.

    The Find-a-Grave entry for William Herndon, referenced in source [Bethlehem-Baptist-1877a], lists his birthplace as Caroline County, Virginia.

    Notes:

    [Herndon-1950a] as well as the LDS Church Ancestral File refer to William Herndon’s wife as “Dalena Lankford”, but this fact has no substantiating evidence. Langford family records, though, list a daughter of George Perry Langford named “Delina” who married William Herndon.

    Children:

    Robert Wilkins Draper moved to Alabama in 1845 shortly after his marriage to Susan Elliott Littlejohn. After the birth of all of his children save Sarah Elizabeth (his eldest) and Daniel Napoleon (his youngest), the family moved to Texes, on 18 Sep 1865.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Census: 18 Jun 1860, Alexandria, Calhoun County, Alabama, United States

    Notes:

    A woman who appears to be a 54 year old Susan Elliott (Littlejohn) Draper appears in [US-1880-1u] as the wife of Robert Wilkins Draper--despite the fact that both [Anderson-1964] and [Chicota-2002] support a death date of 15 Nov 1867. The latter is particularly convincing as it is “Susan E Littlejohn’s” cemetery monument. For the moment, this database assumes that the census record is incorrect, but a 1870 census record for Lamar County, Texas is needed.
