Samuel Hersey b. 1815

Surnames: Hersey
I am looking for information on the HERSEY family which appears to have settled in Winnebago Co., IL in the 1840s. Samuel and Prudence HERSEY had sons Horatio and Henry born there in 1843 and 1846. There was Ira HERSEY living there in the 1840 Census.
Samuel HERSEY reported on later censuses that he was born in Maine (about 1815). I know there were lots of Herseys in Maine. Can anyone help me identify the parents of Samuel?
Thanks, Sue

Samuel Hersey was my great, great grandfather. His parents were Samuel Hersey born in Poland township, Minot Maine on 14 May 1786 and Eunice Bradbury born in Minot Maine on 9 June 1788. I have photos of them and the brothers in my collection.

I am the first cousin, 4 times removed of Samuel H Hersey, 1786-1867. I would love to see/have the pictures of which you speak. Amos & Mercy Mason Hersey are my third great grand-parents. Our nearest relative is John Hearsey, 1795-1870. Did Samuel H and Eunice have any children other than Samuel? Any idea what H stands for? I'd also like to know more about the Bradbury line starting with the parents of Eunice.

Hi Sue,
Are you still there & looking? I believe your Samuel was born 27 July, 1814 to Samuel H Hersey & Eunice Bradbury;
that he married first Hannah Cole about 1842, and they had Horatio B Hersey, c.1843-1864 & Henry O Hersey, c. 1846-?.
Samuel married secondly Prudence Hubbard Talcott, May 17, 1854; they had Thomas Arthur, 1855-1936, Ida M, c. 1857, Mary E, c.1861, & Harriet A, c. 1865 all born in Illinois.

Yes, I am still here. In addition to what you found on the children of Samuel Hersey, I found that his first wife died on April 29, 1853, apparently in childbirth. She had a son born that same day. I have no name for him and no further record of him, so I am guessing that he did not survive.
