Notes
a. Note:   s. Although I think the 1823 DOB is most likely, Almerin Herrick was born between 1821 and 1828 or even 1836 depending upon which sources is used:
 1821: 006 Bio record says he was 45 when he died in 1866 and a native of NY.
 1823 (May 23): DAR application (353)
 1823 (May 23): DAR application (359)
 1823: 011 Blake (consistent with other siblings born 1809-1825).
 1823: died at the age of 43 in 1866 (139).
 1824: 36 in 1860
 1826: 39 in Sep 1865
 1827: 39 in Jan 1866
 1828: 37 in Dec 1865
 1836: 173 says he was 29 in 1865 in NJ. Very unlikely. It makes Almerin 7 years old when he buys property in Lake County in 1843. I think he lied about his age when he joined the military.
Note:   This DOB is far from certain but most likely given the following source
b. Note:   d at the age of 43 from "chronic diarrhea and other disabilities ... near St. Joseph" Missouri, hundreds of miles away (139). What was Almerin doing there?
  In her 1915, pension application, Susan testified, "My husband's death was reported to us by a man named Jackson at St. Joseph, Missouri, who wrote that he had died there. My daughter sent you the letter with other evidence she had and it was returned to her. But since she moved into this house, a fire burned everything ... We never doubted his death as he was never heard from again." Susan reported that her father supported her and her daughter Olive (139).
  Josephine testified in 1915, "My means of knowledge of my father's death is through a letter written to my aunt, Mrs. Lydia Glass (my father's sister) with whom I was living at the time the letter was received. I am the eldest of the children of Almerin and Rhoda Ware Herrick. My father, Almerin Herrick, died October 7th 1866 near St Joe Missouri" (139). Some DAR applications say 7 Oct 1666.
Note:   Only four months after his daughter Olive was born, Almerin HERRICK die
