General Notes: Husband - Hermanus Alricks

---

He settled in what became Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and was the first member of the Legislature at the organization of the county, in 1750. There were then but six counties in the state. The Legislature sat but a few weeks, and when he returned home to "Letort Springs" (later Carlisle), he brought with him a commission appointing him prothonotary, register, recorder, clerk of the courts, and justice of the peace. The justices at that day sat upon the bench. The chief of those offices, Hermanus Alricks, held as long as he lived, a period of nearly twenty-five years.

Another source states that his father was Petrus Alricks, and his grandfather was Jacob. [DJA, 31]

He had four sons, of whom James was the youngest.
