Colonel Benjamin Z. Herndon Annals of Newberry, page 579-80 Colonel B. Z. Herndon, a grandson of Col. Benjamin Herndon, of the Revolutionary War, once lived on Little River in Newberry County, on a place now owned by the family of Henry Burton, late deceased; Col. Benjamin Herndon fought at the battle of the King's Mountain. And Mrs. John S. Fair, a decendant of his, now of the town of Newberry, has in her possession a pair of silver spurs that were presented to him for his gallantry in battle. He was once captured by Bloody Bill Cunningham and was about to suffer an ignominious death when he was fortunately rescued by his men. His son Stephen Herndon was born and lived in Newberry. And Newberry gives a hearty welcome to Mrs. John S. Fair and Mrs. Lambert W. Jones, two fair and lovely descendants of Colonel Herndon of the Revolution.
