I am posting this on the Montgomery County, NY list because this family moved to the Town of Springfield, Montgomery County, NY in 1787 from Bennington, VT, and remained there when it became Otsego County until at least 1806, thence may have removed to DeRutyer, Madison Co., NY or possibly in somewhere in Montgomery County, NY Arza GAGE & Mary Polly HERRICK, early 1800s Surname: HERRICK, SPRAGUE, GAGE, TUBBS, SPENCER, TIDD, ARNOLD Mary Polly HERRICK was one of six children born to Cyprian HERRICK & Betsey SPRAGUE. She was b. September 13, 1798, [proven per family Bible], in the Town of Springfield, Otsego Co., NY and d. unknown. [Dates following are taken from Caroline Gage TIDD's DAR National #19962 application for membership, dated May 19, 1897, and an e-mail from a reply to a previous post. Mary Polly HERRICK m. Arza GAGE March 09, 1816, very likely in DeRuyter, Madison County, NY. Arza was b. June 12, 1790 at S.E. Dutchess County, NY and died January 16, 1866 probably in DeRuyter. They had at least one child Edward Lovell GAGE who m. Jane Mitchell ARNOLD. Their daughter was Caroline GAGE who m. Edward Kingsbury TIDD. Cyprian HERRICK was b. October 27, 1758 in Norwich, CT and d. 1806 in the Town of Springfield, NY. When Cyprian died their six children were Nancy aged ca 16, Silence aged ca 14, Mary Polly aged ca 11, Samuel aged ca 6, and Lemont & Levantia, twins aged ca 3. Cyprian was a s/o Colonel Samuel HERRICK, Vermont Militia & Rangers, b. April 27, 1732, Coventry, CT, d. late 1800 to 1803, Town of Springfield, Otsego Co., NY & Silence KINSLEY - KINGSLEY. The DAR application states that Mary Polly HERRICK was of "Springfield, NY, later DeRuyter, NY." I suspect that maybe Betsey [SPRAGUE] HERRICK may have m. 2nd and removed to DeRuyter in Madison County with her new spouse or she may have removed there 1st and then m. 2nd. Does any one recognize any of the individuals cited above? Does anyone know if Betsey [SPRAGUE] HERRICK m. 2nd and settled in DeRuyter, NY? Does anyone know if Nancy, Silence or Levantia HERRICK m. in DeRutyer, NY? I know what happened to Samuel & Lemont. They were in Dale, Genesee County, now Wyoming County, NY ca 1825 [+/-] and ended up in Genesee County, MI by the mid 1850s. If anyone connects to this HERRICK -SPRAGUE -GAGE family line and would like more information please reply here on the Montgomery County List.
