George was the fifth of nine children of Ludwig (Lewis) and Anna Maria Brach Hering. Has family moved from West Brunswick township, Schuylkill County to Sugar Creek township, Venango County between 1800-1810. So George could have been born in either place. With his parents, he lived in Sugar Creek township (1810 census) and in Plum township (1820 census).

He married Fanny Noel (or Knowles) in approximately 1825.

George and Fanny had five children. By 1849, George had remarried and had a son by this second marriage.

George's second wife was Mary McGarrell. They removed to Allegheny township (where the McGarrells lived) and in 1853 to Tionesta township. The 1860 census still shows them residing there, George had five more children in this second family.

Mrs. Arlene Doty learned from her grandfather Edward Lewis Herring that "George Herring and son Peter went to Pithole, which was in rough, rugged country. When the Pithole oil excitement sprang up, they sold their desolate farms for a sum large enough that they went to Linesville... There they bought a nice farm."
