406 - HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY  http://heritagepursuit.com/Untp7BS.htm
THOMAS HERD, firmer, P. O. Peoria, one of the oldest pioneers of Liberty Township, was born in Harmony Township, Clark Co., Ohio, March 4, 1813. He is a son of Thomas and Dorcas (Morris) Herd. His father was a native of Berkeley County, Va. He enlisted in the Revolutionary war when fifteen years old, with four brothers-Benjamin, Stephen, Lewis and Wallace-and served till the close of that memorable war. He was at Valley Forge and Brandywine, the latter place where Wallace was killed. After the Revolution, Benjamin, Stephen and Lewis removed to Massachusetts. Thomas settled in Fayette County, Ky., and in 1812 removed to Clark County, Ohio, where he died in January 1813, and Mrs. Herd the following year, leaving eight children, six of whom are now living-John; Mary, widow of Samuel Sparks; Lewis; Ann, wife of Levi Harkadine; Elizabeth, wife of Edward Robbing; and Thomas, the subject of this sketch. James and William are deceased. James was a private in the war of 1812. Thomas, the subject of this notice, was reared on a farm till he was fourteen years of age, when he began and served an apprenticeship at tanning in Urbana. He worked at journey work a few months, then went to Chillicothe, thence to Marion, where he worked for Associate Judge James, subsequently a member of the Ohio Legislature. In 1818, Mr. Herd came to the county and remained till 1826. In 1833, he came to Liberty Township, and after working one year on the White farm, bought 100 acres, which was all in woods except four acres. He cleared a site, and erected a house the same year. Mr. Herd is one of the industrious, hard-toiling men of the county, and his labors have been abundantly rewarded. He entered the stage of life an orphan boy, but by energy and perseverance he accumulated 672 acres of land, most of which he cleared and improved himself. He made a division among his children, and now owns but 400 acres. October 11, 1835, he was married to Miss Lydia, daughter of James and Sarah S. Darrow, and a native of Clinton County, N. Y., where she was born December 11, 1807. Four sons and one daughter were born to them, viz., Olive C., born November 19, 1836, wife of John Reed; James D., born May 14, 1840; Hiram D., born October 11, 1842, married Minerva Glasscock; William H., born February 11, 1845, married Phebe A. Benton; and John Q., born May 4, 1849, and married Dora Barlow. Mr.. Herd has always followed agriculture and rearing Spanish merino sheep, Durham cattle, French horses, and Poland - China hogs. In fine stock pursuits he has achieved a marked success. James D. Herd, the eldest son, was reared on the farm, and educated in the public schools of Marysville and Urbana. In 1871, he was elected Justice of the Peace, and has since filled that office. September 23, 1877, he was appointed a member of the Board of Examiners of the county, and still retains the position. He has been a teacher since 1859. John Q. Herd, the youngest son, was born and reared on the old homestead. He was educated in the common schools, and the Ohio Wesleyan University, of Delaware.

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP. - 407

When seventeen years of age, he engaged in the profession of teaching, and followed it, winters, fourteen years. October 12, 1870, he married Isadora A., daughter of Lawrence and Margaret Barlow. Mrs. Herd was born in Plain City January 28, 1853. Of eight children by this union, four sons are living-Charles S., A. Glen, Nelson and Monod.
