Abel Herrick was born ca 1758 in Plainfield, Windham Co., CT, son of Andrew(5) and Abigail (Hall) Herrick, died 13 Aug. 1842 [or 1848], buried Sheddsville Cemetery, West Windsor, VT, age 84 [info on birth and death dates from VT records cemetery card]. He married Polly Partridge 2 Jan. 1791 in Plainfield, CT [from Plainfield Church Records, NEHGR 17:230]. She was born ca 1767 in MA and died 6 Sept. 1839, Windsor, VT. The Herrick Genealogical Register, 3rd edition [HGR3], lists five children: [not in birth order] Abel Herrick, b. between July-August 1800 in NH. Married Cynthia Burnham and Amy Rowe; 10 children. Samuel Leonard Herrick, b. between 13 March-13 April 1804, died 9 Feb. 1893; m. Elizabeth Hayes 1 Jan. 1817. [Died West Windsor, VT VR.] Mary Herrick, b. 1797, d. 11 March 1883 in Windsor, Windsor Co., VT. [Death Record says he was born Springfield, NH.] Polly (Mary) Herrick, b. 26 April 1806 in Hartland, Windsor Co., VT [not recorded, I doubt that it is correct]. Leonard Herrick, born 1808, d. 7 April 1882. Married Rosanna Burnham in Windsor, VT. Six children. I have found Abel Herrick in 1800 census in Plainfield, Cheshire Co. [now Sullivan], NH with 20010 30010. In 1810 he is in Cornish, Cheshire Co. [now Sullivan] NH with 111001 41110. In 1820 he is in Windsor, Windsor Co., VT with 010001 130010. My question is: Since Abel was married in 1791 in Plainfield, CT, could he have had other children before the above listed children? I believe that there might have been a son named Martin who enlisted in the War of 1812 from Vermont. Martin was supposed to have been born about 1793. Hope someone can help! Joann Nichols

Diane - Many years ago Pricess Margaret on a visit to the US asked if Daily (the elder) was still mayor of Chicago. Johnny Carson answered: "Princess, Mayor Daily is dead.
