- Biography*: 19 February 1892: Elijah Herrick was born in Stillwater, Saratoga Co., New York December 12th
1809. In 1822 he came with his father to the present vicinity of Waterville on the
Maumee, owing to the unhealthiness of the climate his father soon returned to New
York leaving Elijah and his brother William behind. He worked for a short time
across the river from Waterville and among other things made 4,000 rails at 80
cents per hundred. He also worked at blacksmithing and made the ironworks for
the sailing vessel Antelope built by Daniel Hubble. When about twenty years old
he kept bachelors hall and raised corn on the big flats near Turkey Foot Rock.
In 1831 he was married to Orra Sophronia Noble by whom he had four children,
one of which, a daughter, was living at the time of his death.
He now bought teams and went to teaming, moving many pioneers into the
woods.
In 1836 he moved to Perrysburg and took a contract to haul goods for John
Hollister, taking the most of them up the river to Defiance and Fort Wayne. One
time Asa Miller had goods frozen in at Manhattan which he wished to take to Fort
Wayne, they loaded two teams and Mr. Miller tacking an ax went with them, they
were thirteen days chopping their way through and five days coming back, for
which Mr. Herrick received $100.00 Mr. Miller bearing all the expenses. He also
hauled the first load of goods from the Maumee to Adrian Michigan unloading
them in a log cabin which had a blanket hanging up for a door.
In 1841 he moved to Miami and with his partner established the first line of boats
on the canal between Toledo and Providence. In 1843 his wife died and in 1844
he was married to Abigail Allen to whom five children were born. They lived for a
few weeks at Perrysburg, and came the same year (1844) to the present
homestead in Fulton Township, Fulton Co. When he came to Fulton Co., it also
was very new with a small clearing here and there but he in common with the other
pioneers soon brought it to a good state of cultivation.
Mr. Herrick’s school advantages of course were limited but having obtained the
rudiments of an education he was able by his superior natural ability to make up
for the deficiency of early mental training. He held a number of offices and among
others was Justice of the Peace for twelve years.
His was a long and eventful life for a private one, and the period of time over which
the years of his life extended, saw wonderful changes in the physical, and
industrial , social and intellectual life of the county. When he came a boy of twelve
years to the Maumee he found it a vast wilderness abounding in swamp and full of
malaria, he lived to see it cleared drained and made as productive and healthy as
any place in the country. When he came he found it inhabited mostly by Indians, he
lived to see it peopled by persons of the highest intelligence and morality. He
found the country with scarcely any educational or religious advantages, he lived to
see it well provided with schools and churches. In the beginning of his life the best
moods of travel were the stage couch and canal packets at its close we have the
swift steam and electric car and the speediest means of communications was the
fast boy now we talk face to face be the distance long or short by means of the
telegraph and the telephone and _____ ? it is not to much to say that he did his
part to bring about these privileges and blessings.
Several years ago under the pastorate of Rev S. L. Klotzs he united with the
United Brethren Church and in hope of the eternal life, died July 31, 1891, at his
home in Fulton Township Fulton Co., Ohio.
Written by his Son in law Rev. Lucius E. Willson, Feb 19th 1892
Lucius was married to Anna Herrick, Elijah's daughter with his 2nd wife Abigail.4

- Biography*: 1888: CALVIN HERRICK, one of the oldest living Lake Captains in this section, is a son of James S. and Martha (Sharpsteen) Herrick, and was born in Richmond, Ontario County, New York, January 19, 1819. In 1823 his parents came to Ohio and settled at Maumee. Here his father carried on his trade (blacksmithing). Shortly after they moved to Waterville, but while the subject of this sketch was a lad his parents returned to New York, and settled in Livingston County. Here young Herrick remained until 16 years of age, when he came to Perrysburg, and assisted his brother Elijah in transporting merchandise by team from that place to Providence. In 1837 he commenced his career in Lake navigation, by entering the employ of Captain Curtis Perry, on the Schooner Caroline, with whom he sailed until 1845-the last two years as Mate. In 1845 he was made Captain of the Schooner Kentucky, owned by D. B. Smith of Maumee, a position be held for a year and a half. For two years following he was Mate of the Propeller Globe, commanded by Captain Henry Whitmore. He was the Captain of the Schooner Alvan Bronson ten years. In 1852 he became Captain of the Henry A. Kent, which he successfully commanded until she was destroyed by fire May 18, 1854. Following this date he commanded the Scioto for two years. In 1856 the Marine Insurance Companies along the Lakes formed a Board of Lake Underwriters for mutual protection, and employed men in the different divisions of their territory to inspect Vessels, and report their condition. Mr. Herrick was employed by this Board as Marine Inspector, his district extending from Toledo to Cleveland. This position he held for several years, and subsequently acted in a similar capacity for the Fire and Marine and Toledo Mutual Insurance Companies. For many successive years he was appointed Harbor Master by the City Council, a position he filled most acceptably.
Mr. Herrick was married December 3, 1846, with Margaret Van Fleet, daughter of Jared Van Fleet, an early settler in Lucas County. Seven children have been born to them, four of whom are now living, the others having died in infancy. Their living. children, in order of birth, are,: Thomas C., born February 24,1848; Mattie E., born April 17, 1853, now the wife of Elmer Shealds; Clara, born April 16,1860, wife of Charles Beard ; and Anna, born April 6, 1865, wife of John Schweikert.
Captain Herrick, as he is familiarly known, retired from active business about ten years since. He is genial in disposition and enjoys the esteem and respect of all who know him. For many years he led a busy and active life in the early River and Lake navigation, and is now enjoying a well-earned repose, surrounded by relatives and friends.2 - Death*: Calvin died after 1896.1
