HERSEY.
Variously written HERSEE, HARSIE, and HEARSEY, on early records.
1. WILLIAM, was the progenitor of all who have borne this surname in Hing. and vic. He came to New Eng. in 1635, and early in the autumn of that yr. located in Hing. with others who were passengers on the ship he came in. July 3, 1636, he had a house-lot of five acres granted him, on what is now South, nearly opp. West St. The lot was bounded east by John Winchester, west by William Buckland, and included within its limits the est. now owned by heirs of the late Ebenezer Gay, Esq. The surname Hersey, or Hersy, is a very ancient one, and prob. of French origin, as it appears among the list of noble- men and gentlemen who went over to Eng. with William the Con- queror. In Hing. it is still one of the more numerous of the surnames of the early settlers ; and it has well represented the industrious as well as the enterprising and influential portion of the inhabitants of the town. At the time of the trouble about the election of officers for the train band, 1644-1645, William Hersey was assessed a heavy fine for supporting the views of Rev. Peter Hobart and his friends ; and the family rate towards the erection of the new meeting-house was the largest but one upon the list. He was undoubtedly a native of Eng., and perh. of Old Hing. ; but the place and date of his birth have not as yet been definitely ascertained. The chris. name of his w. was Elizabeth. She d. in Hing. S Oct. 1671. He d. 22 March, 1657-58. In his will, dated March 9, 1657-58, proved 29 Apr. foll., gives to s. Wil- liam "ye house and home Lott that he now Lives in and ye penn plott before his gate, and ye Lott I bought of Matthew Chafey at ye Capts Tent," etc. ; also valuables to sons John and James ; to dau's "Francis " (Frances), Elizabeth, and Judith, £5 each ; "to my grand children John Croade and William Hersie, 40s. each. All ye rest of my Land, housing, goods, etc., to my wife Elizabeth during her life as a widow." Wife Elizabeth, executrix. Overseers, "cousine John Farrington, Thomas Marsh, and my sonne in Law Richard Croade." Inv. appraised 28 Apr. 1658, by Moses Collier and Thomas Marsh at £419 13s. 6d. "Husbandman." Freeman March, 1638; selectman 1642, 1647, and 1650 ; artillery company 1652. Resided on South St. Ch., -
