Surnames: Herrick Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/iMB.2ACI/1014.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Joann. Ebenezer and his brother, Daniel Herrick have created quite a mess for me. I can find the same children on the census schedules, but the names of the parents change. The children on the census you found are of the family. I am getting this information from Daniel's Civil War pension file. Apparently, Anne had a terrible reputation. She reported Daniel dead, when she knew he was not. She married Daniel 4/22/1851 in Ashtabula Co., OH. At some point she left Daniel and passed as Ebenezer's wife. I am fairly certain that Almond is Daniel's son. The papers mention Daniel had a son, John Henry Herrick, who came to reside in Louisville, KY. I have found John Henry in the census schedules as an adult, but not as a child. John was born abt 1862 in MO. The paternity of the other children is questionable.
