  • Notes 
    • Nathan Herendeen with his family moved from Washtenaw County to Hillsdale County in 1834. He settled near Litchfield and spent the remainder of his life there.

      County hIstories of New York mention Herendeen families first in Vermont and then moving west through several New York counties south of Lake Erie before moving to Michigan.

      Thomas and Mary Eddy Herendeen also settled near by. Mary died in 1842. Thomas was living with his son Nathan on the 1850 census. Thomas did not appear on the 1860 census, therefore I assume he died before 1860.

      The family is burried in the LitchfieldCemetery just east of Litchfield. There is a stone for Mary but none for THomas. THe cemetery is well cared for. IT is an old cemetery so many stones are broken and some are missing.

      Jane and I found the Herendeen farm west of Litchfield. The house is gone, but the barn remains. Construction of a new house is underway.

      Nathan and Hulda Dillingham are listed as the parents of Thomas.

      If you look at the Herendeen family sheet you will notice that three of their children died very young. I have no record of George. James died in the Civil War.
