James S. Herrick

Parents

Biography

Birth	3 May 1787	James S. Herrick was born on 3 May 1787 in New York.1
Marriage	9 June 1807	He and Jane Diddy were married on 9 June 18072,3
Marriage	5 November 1815	He and Martha "Patty" Sharpsteen were married on 5 November 1815 in New York2
Relocation	1823	In 1823, James S. Herrick moved to Maumee, Lucas County, Ohio. from New York state. [HK: Unverified information from an online discussion group: ". His occupation was that of a blacksmith and the family moved around a lot. I found him in Allegany, Ontario & Livingston Cos. in NY, as well as Wood Co., Ohio where he settled briefly in Maumee & Waterville beginning in 1822. Some of his children stayed in Ohio when James went back to NY and they started a branch of the Herrick family in the area." It is interesting that on the 1900 and 1910 censuses for R. H. Pratt, Mary's birthplace is listed as Ohio. Also in the 1870 census, her son Seth's birthplace is listed as Ohio. The later two references to Ohio may have been due to the fact that she lived near her brothers in Ohio in her older years.]4
Probate Record	8 March 1826	James was listed in probate records on 8 March 1826 in Wood County, Ohio, as follows: as Bondsman, with Guy Nearing, for John Eastman, Dec. Administrators docket, vols. A-B 1821-1852 Administrators docket, vols. l-2 1852-1885 Guardian docket, vol. 1 1852-1879 DGS 008/704592. familysearch records for Wood County.
Census	1830	He appeared in the census 1830 in Charleston, Montgomery County, New York. James is listed as: James S. Herrick 1 male 5-10 [Wilson] 1 male 10-15 [Calvin] 1 male 15-20 [John or Morris] 1 male 40-50 [James 43] 2 females under 5 [Hannah and Sarah] 1 female 20-30 [Martha Patty] Mary Herrick is not in this household. As of 1830, ages of James' children: William D. 22: not at home Elijah 21: not at home Rhoda 19: not at home Morris 17 John 16 Mary 14: [Not at home] Calvin 11 Wilson 10 Hannah Jane 3 Sarah 1 Not born yet, Luther Emeline, Sarah Ellen, Lydia, Ann, Albert, Catherine!
Census	1840	He appeared in the census 1840 in Rushford, Allegany County, New York. James is listed as: J.S. Herrick, 1 male 5-9, 1 male 50-60, 2 females under 5, 1 female 10-14, 1 female 40-50. Neighbors, Wm. Thomas, S. Wiley, R. Moore, C. Richardson, V. Kelley. Most likely these are Luther, James, Sarah Ellen and Lydia, Hannah, and Martha. Mary and Richard are not living with them.5
Residence	1846	As of 1846 James lived in Rushford, Allegany County, New York, In the 1846 edition of the Herrick Genealogy, p. 20., James' listing is: Rushford, Allegany Co., five sons, four daughters. However, by the 1850 census he is in Michigan, and his daughter Catharine, who was born in May, 1846, is listed as born in Michigan, so he must have moved early in 1846. The Library of Congress landowners map of Allegany County is dated 1856, so James had already moved to Michigan by the date of this map, but the map is very useful.6
Census	8 August 1850	He appeared in the census 8 August 1850 in Washington, Macomb County, Michigan. James is listed as: Listed as James G. (age 63, Blacksmith, born in New York) with Martha (50, born in New York), Luther (19, Farmer, born in New York, married within the year), Lucy (21, born in Vt -- this must be Luther's wife), Sarah E.

(9, born in NY, attending school), Catharine (4, born in Michigan), LeRoy (4 months, born in Michigan -- must be Luther's first), and Polly Sharpsteen (70, born in NY -- this is the mother of James' second wife Martha).7
Death	22 February 1857	He died on 22 February 1857 in Columbus, St. Clair County, Michigan,8
Burial	24 February 1857	He was buried on 24 February 1857 at Kittridge Cemetery in Columbus, St. Clair County, Michigan.

Biography

Research Note		On Mary Herrick's handwritten list, this looks like Eliza at first glance, but it appears that she wrote a straight line over the "z" to make a "j" and that letter is dotted, so I think she was writing "Elija".1
Birth	12 December 1809	Elijah Herrick was born on 12 December 1809 in Stillwater, Saratoga County, New York. (Birthplace given in email from Fulton County Genweb Coordinator. I don't know the source.)2,3,4
Residence	1823	As of 1823 Elijah lived in Maumee, Lucas County, Ohio. "Elijah Herrick, 1823, Swanton." He was a member of the Maumee Valley Pioneer Association, and his date of arrival in the Valley and place of first settlement were recorded as 1823, at Swanton. He was also a member of the Maumee Valley Monumental Association. This association lists his settlement as 1822, in Fulton County. I believe this listing refers to Elijah the son of James S. because the biographical entry of his younger brother Calvin says " Here young Herrick [Calvin] remained until 16 years of age, when he came to Perrysburg, and assisted his brother Elijah...". Elijah, being a son of James' first wife, was 10 years older than Calvin.5
Marriage	11 September 1831	He and Orra Sophronia Nobel were married on 11 September 1831 in Waterville, Ohio,4
Anecdote	1833	1833: Elijah was one of the men who assisted Mahlon Meeker with his house raising, supposedly the first in Plain Township.

Biography	19 February 1892	On 19 February 1892: On 19 February 1892: Elijah Herrick was born in Stillwater, Saratoga Co., New York December 12th 1809. In 1822 he came with his father to the present vicinity of Waterville on the Maumee, owing to the unhealthiness of the climate his father soon returned to New York leaving Elijah and his brother William behind. He worked for a short time across the river from Waterville and among other things made 4,000 rails at 80 cents per hundred. He also worked at blacksmithing and made the ironworks for the sailing vessel Antelope built by Daniel Hubble. When about twenty years old he kept bachelors hall and raised corn on the big flats near Turkey Foot Rock. In 1831 he was married to Orra Sophronia Noble by whom he had four children, one of which, a daughter, was living at the time of his death. He now bought teams and went to teaming, moving many pioneers into the woods. In 1836 he moved to Perrysburg and took a contract to haul goods for John Hollister, taking the most of them up the river to Defiance and Fort Wayne. One time Asa Miller had goods frozen in at Manhattan which he wished to take to Fort Wayne, they loaded two teams and Mr. Miller tacking an ax went with them, they were thirteen days chopping their way through and five days coming back, for which Mr. Herrick received $100.00 Mr. Miller bearing all the expenses. He also hauled the first load of goods from the Maumee to Adrian Michigan unloading them in a log cabin which had a blanket hanging up for a door. In 1841 he moved to Miami and with his partner established the first line of boats on the canal between Toledo and Providence. In 1843 his wife died and in 1844 he was married to Abigail Allen to whom five children were born. They lived for a few weeks at Perrysburg, and came the same year (1844) to the present homestead in Fulton Township, Fulton Co. When he came to Fulton Co., it also was very new with a small clearing here and there but he in common with the other pioneers soon brought it to a good state of cultivation. Mr. Herrick’s school advantages of course were limited but having obtained the rudiments of an education he was able by his superior natural ability to make up for the deficiency of early mental training. He held a number of offices and among others was Justice of the Peace for twelve years. His was a long and eventful life for a private one, and the period of time over which the years of his life extended, saw wonderful changes in the physical, and industrial , social and intellectual life of the county. When he came a boy of twelve years to the Maumee he found it a vast wilderness abounding in swamp and full of malaria, he lived to see it cleared drained and made as productive and healthy as any place in the country. When he came he found it inhabited mostly by Indians, he lived to see it peopled by persons of the highest intelligence and morality. He found the country with scarcely any educational or religious advantages, he lived to see it well provided with schools and churches. In the beginning of his life the best modes of travel were the stage coach and canal packets at its close we have the swift steam and electric car and the speediest means of communications was the fast boy now we talk face to face be the distance long or short by means of the telegraph and the telephone and _____ ? it is not to much to say that he did his part to bring about these privileges and blessings. Several years ago under the pastorate of Rev S. L. Klotzs he united with the United Brethren Church and in hope of the eternal life, died July 31, 1891, at his home in Fulton Township Fulton Co., Ohio. Written by his Son in law Rev. Lucius E. Willson, Feb 19th 1892 Lucius was married to Anna Herrick, Elijah's daughter with his 2nd wife Abigail.4
