Looking for info on James, Sidney, Nathaniel, or Aaron Herriott. Obituary, Crawford Democrat, October 25, 1842: At the residence of his nephew in North Shenango, on the 5th inst. Major James Herriott, in the 75th year of age. The deceased will be remembered as one of the first settlers of Crawford County, one that has done much to accelerate the improvement of this then vast uncultivated forest. A man that was devoted to the interests and welfare of his country, ever ready to give himself to her service, either against foreign invaders or the savages of our own land from the bloody tomahawks and scalping knives he but barely escaped. And, although he was called to experience the sad reverses of fortune by which he was reduced from afluence , almost to a state of abject poverty, yet his prayer was that of David "when I am old and grey headed, forsake me not." which was answered by some special marks of the merciful care of Divine Providence in his behalf. It is coincidense, perhaps worthy of remark, that one brother and himself were the only off spring of the family, they were separated when but boys, and often thousands of miles intervened between them, yet they died on the same identical spot and their remains are intered beneath the same mould, there to remain until the last loud trump shall arouse their slumbering dust. Possibly had a son William. History of Crawford County (Page 300) states the first jury trial in Crawford County occurred on the 6th of January 1801. The jury which sat upon this case included William Herriott. Also, in the year 1800, a William Herriott pledged $50 to support the new legislature. Will doesn't name any direct descendants... only nephews. Interested in any and all Herriott/Harriot information. Thanks, Ray Harriot
