DIGGES, HERNDON, PAGE, WALLER, WATKINS -
I am trying to locate documented information on the following: My Great Great Grandmother Martha
Herndon who married William Watkins. People have been kind in sending me
information but in each report that has been sent a missing link is in question. The info I am
needing is that Martha Herndon was indeed the daughter of Edward Herndon and Mary
Waller. They had 8 children as to what I understand. The other info I need is that Edward
Herndon was indeed the son of William Herndon and Catherine Digges - Edward
being born 1678 in New Kent, Co, VA and married Catherine Digges the daughter of Gov.
Digges of VA and Elizabeth Page. Thus far no one has produced on the Herndon
Line the concrete and complete info on the above info. Nor has anyone on the Digges side
provided the fact Catherine married to William Herndon was indeed the Daugher of Gov
Digges and Elizabeth Page!

is all of the information that I have about Edward Wild. He was my great-great
grandfather. I am very glad to have even that little, I have been searching for his very name
for some time. I was fortunate enough to get the information I have given here from a cousin.
If you can find any record of him or his family please contact me. I would be so grateful. I am
