The information on the Herendeen Family is from "Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island" by John O. Austin, 1887 (1969), pp. 95-96,
and "Harrington Family Genealogical Gazetteer" by George H. Harrington, 1941. The Herendeen Family is one of the old families of
Smithfield, R.I., moving north from Providence in the late 1600's.
