Notes:

Henry Herrick was the fifth son of Sir William Herrick. His arrival date in America is unknown but he probably first went to Virginia, and from there to Salem, MA, where he settled at Cape-Ann-Syde, now Beverly. Soon after his arrival in Salem, he bought large tracts of land, and gave a large farm to each of his sons. He was himself a farmer in easy circumstances, and devoted himself to the care of his estates. He was a Puritan, and he and his wife were among the founders of the First Church in Beverly. He is said to have had a large family, twelve sons and several daughters but not all the children's names are known. The children listed are the only ones that lived to adult life.

Notes:

Sir William Herrick, the most illustrious member of this family "was a man of great abilities and address, remarkably handsome in person, and high in the confidence of Queen Elizabeth and James I, and by honorable services to both, acquired a large property." He was in business for himself, being "gooldsmyth at the Rose in Cheapside." He was not on the court banker, but also Teller of the Exchequer, and member of parliament, serving several terms. About 1595 he bought Beaumanor park, and retired to private life, devoting himself to the care of his estates. In 1605 he was knighted by King James "for making a hole in the great diamond the King did wear."
