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.
