Herrick, James, one of the early settlers of Sheldon, Vt., came to this locality from Dutchess county, N. Y.
He was a surveyor, and ran the town lines, and at one time owned about half the town. He had several children,
Leander, Samuel B., Laura, Lacy, and Louisa being the names of those now recalled. Samuel B. Herrick married Alma
Hull, of Fairfield, and they had four children: Laura S., Polly E., Alexander H., and La Fayette H. La Fayette
Hullo Herrick was born April 30, 1840, and was brought up to do farm work. November 29, 1860, he married Spaulding
Duclos, a member of a prominent Sheldon family, and they had two children, Ernest D. and Alma Louisa, both of whom
are living at home. Mr. Herrick lived for many years in Sheldon. He then moved to Swanton, thence back to Sheldon,
and then to St. Albans in 1887, where he became the owner of the Duclos farm, formerly the James Brooks place.
Mr. Herrick is devoted to the farm, and takes but little part in town affairs. He is not connected with any religious
society, but his wife is a member of the Baptist church.
