Ephraim HERRICK
Mary CROSS
"Ephraim HERRICK was christened on 11 Feb 1638 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay
Colony. (4547)(4548) (4549) Cross (734) says he was born on this date. He took the
oath of a freeman on 29 Apr 1668 in Beverly, Essex, MA.(4550) (4551) He died on 18
Sep 1693 in Beverly, Essex, MA. (4552)(4553) (4554) Died on the farm given him by his
father. He was a Farmer. (4555)(4556) (4557) According to Dr. Joan S. Guilford (617),
who wrote in 1990, "In any event, he [Robert CROSS] was dead by 4 December 1710
when Stephen HERRICK of Beverly, Mass., attorney, represented his mother Mary
(Cross) HERRICK of Preston, Conn. and Anna (Cross) Fellows and her husband
Ephraim of Plainfield, Conn., in conveying all of their interest in Robert's Estate to
William BUTLER of Ipswich, husband of their sister Sarah. In conveyance, he [Robert
Cross] is called "late of Ipswich, deceased" and they, "daughters" of his. It is this
conveyance that raises some question as to whether or no Sarah is still alive at this
point (see below)." Unfortunately I failed to copy the rest of the article when I was at the
CT State library. Parents: Henry HERRICK (Yeoman) and Editha LASKIN.

He married to Mary CROSS on 3 Jul 1661 in Ipswich, Essex, MA.(4558) (4559)(4560)
(4561) (4562)(4563) Cross (734) says they were married in Beverly. He settled on a
farm given to him by his father at Birch Plain in Beverly, MA and "took oath of freeman"
on 29 April 1668 (23). Children were: John HERRICK , Ephraim HERRICK, Mary
HERRICK , Stephen HERRICK, Sarah HERRICK , Samuel HERRICK, Timothy
HERRICK , Anna HERRICK."

HENRY HERRICK
EDITH - Mary LASKIN
"Henry HERRICK (Yeoman) was born about 1598 in England. (4583)(4584)
(4585)(4528) (2757)(4586) (4587)(4588) His birth date is based upon his date of
release from training,

HIS REAL AND ALLEGED ANCESTRY:

Henry HERRICK is the first known HERRICK in America, but for 150 years,
genealogists have incorrectly cited his ancestry. According to genealogist Meredith
Colket, "His was the simple life of a New England Yeoman. Not until the age of 19th
century American genealogy did he emerge blossom fourth as fifth son of Sir William
Herrick of Beau Manor, Leicestershire, Ambassador of Queen Elizabeth to Turkey." By
1897, Henry's descent from early Danish Kings had been incorrectly documented as
well (375, 543).

The assumption that Henry was the 5th son of Sir William HERRICK began with the
1846 publication of the Herrick Genealogical Register by Jedediah HERRICK, in which
he claimed that after living in Virginia, Henry returned to England prior to his arrival in
Salem. Lucius Carroll HERRICK continued the same claim in his revised 1885 edition
of the Herrick Genealogical Register. The myth was reinforced further by numerous
books, materials and databases which followed (201).

Perhaps Sir William was such an interesting character that Jedediah and others
overlooked loose ends in order to claim an ancestral tie to him. William was a
moneylender, goldsmith to the King, Member of Parliament, and ambassador. He was
knighted in 1605. He was fabulously wealthy. He owned land in 13 counties. He owned
homes in Richmond and Westminster but lived in Wood Street (near Cheapside)
before he became Lord of Beaumanor in Leicester, Leicestershire when he purchased
it from a friend of the Earl of Essex. Beaumanor had deer in its park, fish in its moat,
and swans in its river marked with Sir William's initials. Sir William required his tenants
to bring him roses and turkeys every Christmas (11, 338).

In 2000, three teams of genealogists, in London, Salem, and Virginia, led by Richard
Leon Herrick, proved that Henry of Salem could not be the 5th son of Sir William
HERRICK and called evidence to the contrary "circumstantial" (243). They concluded
that Jedediah Herrick had in fact confused Henry HERRICK of Salem with a second
Henry HERRICK who lived in Virginia (in Elizabeth City - now Hampton and Warwick
County - now Newport News) as early as 1642 and as late as 1653. The primary
evidence for this is that on 28 Jun 1653, Henry HEYRICKE of VA sent a letter to his
brother John HEYRICKE in England, but on the very same day, Henry Herrick of Salem
served on an Essex grand jury. A single man could not be in VA and MA simultaneously.
The following is additional evidence cited by Richard Herrick (243) supporting proof of
two distinct Henry HERRICKs:
1. Henry of Salem married Editha LASKIN. Henry of Virginia married Ann UNKNOWN.
2. Henry of Salem signed his name HERRICK. Henry of Beaumanor signed his name
HEYRICKE.
3. Even the genealogists who originally claimed that Henry of Salem was the 5th son of
Sir William acknowledged doubts. Jedediah HERRICK said "there is not sufficient
certainty of his identity" while Lucius Carroll HERRICK said "I think Henry of Salem must
have been the son of Sir William Herrick, and yet the evidence as we now have it does
not satisfy my mind."
4. Henry of Salem was born about 1598. Sir William HERRICK was born 16 August
1604 in Beau Manor Park, Parish of Loughborough, Leicestershire, England.
5. Henry of Salem immigrated to New England by 1629. Henry of Beaumanor
immigrated by 1641.

One could add that Henry of Salem was simply too poor (relatively) to be Henry of
Leicestershire. He emigrated in Aug 1629 to Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
(30)(4589) (4590) Banks suggests Henry left aboard the Lyon which sailed from Bristol
in May 1629. It arrived in August but Henry was among those passengers who went on
to Salem. He was among the early settlers of Salem, Massachusetts with the Rev.
Francis Higginson with the Higginson & Skelton fleet. These Puritan colonists who
came to plant the Massachusetts Bay Colony were quite courageous. They were
motivated by their Christian faith in a time of religious persecution to create a new
society in the wilderness. Only half of them survived to raise families. They are arguably
the most influential group of Europeans to arrive in North America, and their principles
and goals formed the core of our Constitution. Unlike the Plymouth Colony, whose
passengers are thoroughly documented by The Society of Mayflower Descendants, no
original complete passenger list survives which names the ships sent to America by
the Massachusetts Bay Company from 1628 to 1630 (86).

Some suggest that Henry came before 1629 because by Aug 6 1629, supposedly
having only been in Salem a few days, he contracts a marriage and joins the church. He
became a member Salem church on 6 Aug 1629 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
(4591)(4592) (4593) He took the oath of a freeman on 18 May 1631 in Salem, Essex,
MA.(4594) (4595) (4596)(4597) (4598) Requested admission 19 Oct 1630. He granted
2 or 3 acres of farmland on the north side of Jeffry Massey's Cove on 25 Jan 1635/36 in
Salem, Essex, MA.(4599) The farm included a rock which later became known as
"Henry Herrick's Rock." He granted 80 acres in 1636 in Salem, Essex, MA.(4600) He
granted 3/4 acre with a household of five in 1637 in Salem, Essex, MA.(4601) He Slave
or indentured servant owner Owned at least one indentured servant (Margaret White)
and perhaps two more between 1642 and 1665 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
(4602)(4603) According to Stearns (673), Henry "was accompanied by another
immigrant from Loughborough named Cleveland;and, who was the ancestor of all of
that name in this country." I suspect that he was a servant.
1642-1651: I SUSPECT Henry Herrick's "servant" is an indentured servant. Genealogist
Joan Guilford say Henry "came to her rescue" by paying the court charges laid against
her in 1651. Whatever she had done, I further suspect that Henry may have been liable
for such charges while he owned her. I wish Guilford cited the original document.
1651 - 1658: Owned a servant named Margaret White for what would appear to be 7
years for which he was paid by her father Richard "small sums to provide her with
clothes and sundries."
Before 30 Nov 1665: Herrick had an agreement with "Frances Masters, Frenchman,"
that his son, John Masters, was to live with Herrick for eleven and a half years. On 30
Nov 1665, HERRICK sued Master's for withholding a cow, evidently part for the
reimbursement for expenses. He appeared in court between 1648 and 1667 in Salem,
Essex, MA.(4604) (4605) During this period, Henry served as a juror on petit, trail, and
grand juries over a dozen times. He sold 40 acres to Robert Goodsell before 1652 in
Salem, Essex, England.(4606) He purchased 100 acres of upland lying in Birch Plain
and 6 acres of meadow on 1 Jul 1653 in Salem, Essex, MA.(4607) He was Constable in
1656 in Salem, Essex, MA. (4608)(4609) He was Appointed to settle disputed bounds
in 1658 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. (4610) He was surveyor of highways
between 1659 and 1660 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony.(4611) He appeared in
court on 28 Jun 1659 in Salem, Essex, MA. (4612)(4613) In this year, according to
Guilford, Henry administered the state of his father-in-law Hugh LASKIN. This must
have been a major headach. First, he sued Elias Stileman for taking poession of the
estate and preventing Henry from making an inventroy. Second, Paul MANSFIELD,
second husband of of the daughter-in-law of Hugh, who had received a 2/3 share of the
estate for his stepchildren, while one-thirds went to Edith Laskin HERRICK, sued Henry
for "breaking up housen" and "taking away the goods and cattle belonging to the state."
He appeared in court on 30 Sep 1662 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. (4614) He
sued Francis Master " a Frenchman" for withholding a cow. He appeared in court in
1664 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. (4615) Provided testimony in the case of
Edmund Groves claim that his corn was trampled by Osmond Trask's cows. He
appeared in court in 1665 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. (4616) Bore witness
against a miller for not keeping his scales in accordance with law. He became a
member in 1667 in Beverly, Essex, MA. (4617)(4618) (4619) Henry's home was in the
part of Salem which became Beverly. When a separate church was established there,
he and his wife joined and so was among the founders of the church at Beverly. "He
was called a good and honest dissenter from the doctrines of the Church of England;
was a friend of Higginson. He appeared in court in 1667. (4620) He may have been
more liberal than most puritans for he was fined a few shillings for comforting and
excommunicated person. He sold 12 acres to PeterWoodbury and William Raiment on
Bass River Side of Salem on 26 May 1667 in Salem, Essex, MA.(4621) He moved
before 1669 to Wenham, Essex, MA.(4622) He moved before 1670 to Beverly, Essex,
MA. (4623) Known then as the "Cape Ann side of the Bass River." He signed a will on
24 Nov 1670 in Beverly, Essex, MA. (4624)(4625) (4626) He died in Mar 1671 in Beverly,
Essex, MA. (4627)(4628) (4629)(4630) (4631) Died sometime between 1 Mar and 15
Mar 1671. He left, according to his inventory, £974 (included 413 acres valued at £804,
plus a musket, sword, and rapier) on 15 Mar 1671 in Beverly, Essex, MA. (4632) He was
Puritan.(4528) He was a Puritan (11). He and Editha were among only 30 people who
founded the first church of Salem in 1629 (11, 24, 201). By coincidence, Kristen's
ancestors include John WOODBURY, who was also among these 30! It is interesting to
note that, in opposition to normal church order, he and his wife were fined a total of 21
shillings "for costs to the court for aiding and comforting an excommunicated person
contrary to order" (201). They were apparently more tolerant of other religions than were
most Puritans. He was a yeoman (a prosperous, hard-working farmer).(4633) (4634)
He owned a great deal of land. He was educated Made his make but his investory
included "four bibles and other books". (4635)

He married to Editha LASKIN before 1634 in Salem, Essex, MA.(4636) (4637)(4638)
American Ancestry (023) says 1632, but i don't find it trustworthy. He purchased large
tracks of land after moving to the Cape Ann side of the Bass River (later Beverly) which
he gave to his sons (402).

Henry was a "Representative" and had some type of Military service" (15).

Henry and Edith had 12 sons and several daughters of whom 8 survived (201).

Henry was appointed administrator of the the estate of his father-in-law Hugh LASKIN
(585).

Henry was paid a small sum to house and clothe the daughter of Richard Lambert from
Jan 1657/58 to Apr 1658 (585)."

Henry had an agreement with Francis Master that his son John Masters would liven with henry for 11
and a half years. He later sued Master over a cow (585). Children were: Thomas HERRICK, Zacharie
HERRICK, Ephraim HERRICK, Henry HERRICK, Joseph HERRICK, Elizabeth HERRICK, John
HERRICK, Benjamin HERRICK.

" Editha LASKIN was born in 1614 in Leicister, England. (5861)(5862) (5863) She was

Eric Forester
"The Norman invasion found this name represented by Eric the Forester)who resided in
Leicestershire, and possessed extensive domains along the sources of the Severn,
and on the borders of Wales. Eric raised an army to repel the invaders; and in the
subsequent efforts of the English Earls and Princes to dispossess the
Normans of their recent conquest, and to drive them out of the country, he bore a
prominent and conspicuous part. But he shared, also, in the unfortunate issue of all
these patriotic efforts. His followers and allies were stripped of their estates, and the
sources of his own power were dried up; and being no longer in a condition
formidable to the new government, Eric was taken into favor by William -entrusted with
important offices about his person, and in the command of his armies; and in his old
age was permitted to retire to his house in Leicestershire, where he closed a stormy
and eventful life, as became the representative of an ancient and
distinguished race. Change Date: 28 JUN 2005"
