Albemarle-Callaway.com - The Herring family of Callaway County Missouri, and the many inter-related families. In the decades after the Revolutionary War, many families migrated straight West. The Herring and Hill families thus emigrated from Albemarle County, Virginia, to Callaway County, Missouri, in the 1830s. Related families includeCarrington, Simco, Craghead and Craighead, Maxey, Key, Kemp, Day, Fletcher, Sitton, and Wilks . Because these families remained within Callaway County for many generations, there are many intermarriages and interesting stories! During the Civil War, for example, Captain Isaac Sitton swam his horse across the Missouri River to escape Union troops - a feat unmatched before or since. The Battle of Overton’s Run was so named because the Union troops were confronted on Overton’s farmland. Somebody yelled, “Run!” - and they did.
