PREFACE.
The compiler of the following work had limited his original design, to the
acquisition of some general knowledge of his Ancestors and kindred in this
country, with reference more especially to their European origin, and to the
parentage of our Anglo-American Ancestors.
In the pursuit of this object, he became interested in the enquiry ; extended
his researches and accumulated his materials, until he now finds it necessary to
print the result of his labors, as well to insure the preservation of a mass of
names, dates and gossip,—very private and fireside matters to be sure, but not
therefore the less interesting to the very private and fireside parties ; as also to
enable him in this way, to acknowledge his obligations to those friends and
kindred, who have kindly aided his researches and supplied a large portion of
his materials.
Nor will he deny himself the satisfaction of believing, that his humble effort
to redeem from oblivion something of the history and fortunes of his race, will
be received with favor by his kinsfolk ; that it will serve as a useful book of
reference, and a medium of recognition and intercommunication among relatives
otherwise strangers and unknown ; and that it may induce those sentiments of
cordiality and kindness, and of fraternal respect and communion, so grateful to
our best and holiest affections, and so desirable to have revived, and cherished
and perpetuated, among the descendants of a common ancestor, however widely
they may have been separated and dispersed over distant hemispheres ; estranged
from each other, or alienated from the land of their Fathers.
He has permitted himself to hope also, that however imperfect this first essay
may be found ; whatever of error in the names, dates, and arrangements, may be
detected ; it will nevertheless possess sufficient merit and accuracy as a whole, to
serve as a safe guide to the future explorer, as far as it has gone ; and that those
who in future times, and under more favorable circumstances, may be disposed
to look back into our early history, or to carry forward these family memorials to
other generations, may here find important aids and facilities in the prosecution
of their researches.
Our references to the dark and distant traditions of our Race, have been limited
to the settlement of Ericke the Dane, in East Anglia ; and to such events in the
lives and fortunes of himself and his descendant, Eric the Forester, as we find
sufficiently verified by our early English historians, to establish the general
authenticity of our traditionary records ; and thus to remove all reasonable doubt
of the Anglo Danish origin of our race; and of the identity of our earliest
ancestor, residing in England, with that illustrious and unfortunate chieftain.

The traditions of this very ancient family, claim their descent from Ericke, a
Danish Chief, who invaded Britain during the reign of Alfred, and having been
vanquished by that Prince, was compelled, with his followers, to repeople the
wasted districts of East Anglia ; the government of which he held as a fief of
the English crown. He is recognized in history as " Ericke, King of those
Danes who hold the Countrie of East Angle." Note B.
In an attempt to "unite the Danish power in Britain against the Englishmen,"
Ericke was defeated by Edward, the Son and successor of Alfred ; and was sub-
sequently slain by his own subjects for alleged severities in his government.
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 inva-
ders ; and in the subsequent efforts of the English Earls and Princes, to dis-
possess 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 per-
mitted 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.
Note C.
With this ,hasty glance at our earliest family remembrances, remote and
obscure as they may be, we proceed to deduce the pedigrees of the English and
American races through the branch of the posterity of Eric the Forester, which
js still respectably known in England, and whence we derive our lineage.
ENGLISH FAMILY.

1614, and living in 1674,) and settled at " Cape-Ann-Syde, over against
Massies." Died 1671. Note F.
Out of a very numerous family (our traditions say 12 sons and several daugh-
ters,) seven sons and a daughter, whose names are given below, survived their
father and are named in his Will. Of these, Thomas and Benjamin, the oldest
and the youngest of the sons, and the daughter, Elizabeth, died childless. The
other five sons left male issue, and are to be regarded as the Patriarchs of their
respective branches of the posterity of Henry and Editha Herrick.

APPENDIX.
EIRIKR. ERIC. ERIK.
This very ancient and much cherished Scandinavian cognomen has passed throughnumerous variations and mutations in England, some of whicli may have been ideomatic, butgenerally they are referable to the prevailing fancy of the early ag% of English literature,
and the absence of anything like an established orthography. When the most distinguished
scholars wrote their own names in the most fanciful and often fantastic forms. When the
name of Villcrs was spelled fourteen different ways in the deeds of that family ; and the
most simple, dissyllabic name of Percy, is found in the family documents, spelled fifteen dif-
ferent ways. Dudley, Earl of Leicester, wrote his name eight different ways ; and that dis-
tinguished Statesman and scholar. Sir Walter Rawleigh, had contrived such various and irre-
concileable forms of writing and spelling his own name, that the learned of a subsequent agecould by no means determine its orthography, or its euphony, until a long forgotten pun ofKing James came up to the rescue, and helped them to the sound of iJaio-leigh, but left themin hopeless perple.xity for a reason why it should have been that in preference to almost any-
thing else.
Recurring to the Enghsh orthography of our own name, in all its variety and mutability
for many centuries, we perceive something like a progressive transition, from the original
Scandinavian Eirikr, down to the settled and permanent English Heyrick, and Herrick ofthe seventeenth century. The earliest English forms were Ericke, Eric, and Erik, withoccasional variations in the final letter, and some few instances ofthe substitution of I instead
of E as the initial. In the twelfth century, Henry, of Great Stretton, spelled his nameEyryk. A. D. 1450, Robert of Houghton wrote Eyrick, and about A. D. l.'iOO, his son
Thomas, spelled his name Eyricke, and Eyrick ; and his son, John of Leicester, merelyindulged in a great variety, as : Eyrik, Eyrek, Eyricke, to whicli last, the engraver of his
epitaph, for the first time on record, prefixed the H, unless, indeed, it may have been previ-
ously assumed by his son Nicholas of London, who had early chosen the name Heryk, whichhis sons again changed to Herrick, about the middle of the seventeenth century ; at this time,
or a few years earlier, the sons of John of Leicester had fixed the orthography of the namesHerrick, and Heyrick, which have remained permanent and unchanged to this day:—Robert,
the eldest son, having assumed the latter, and the other sons of John, the former.
Previously to the institution of sir-names, we have frequent significant suffixes to the
name Eric, indicative of some quality, attribute, or pretension of the individual, as : Eric the
Red, Eric Blodox, Eric the Forester, &c. ; but we are not aware that it was ever used as a
mere prenomen, or fore-name, followed by a sir-name ; on the contrary, we find this amongthe early sir-names, adapted by the higher orders of European Society.* The brothers
Henry and Allan Eyryk, resided at Great Stretton in the 12th century ; and there is noevidence that these were the first of that branch whose ancient name had become their
sir-name. A. D. 14.50, Nicholas Eric, was commissioned an ambassador of Peace, fromSweeden and Norway to England, France and Ireland. It may be here remarked, as amongthe curiosities incidental to the Ipose and mutable condition of our ancient names, that while
the ancient Scandinavian Erick, is still found in England ; the English Herrick, has found
its way into Sleswick, the father-land of the earliest Danish invaders of Britain.
* Sir-names were being gradually introduced among the common people and small leaseholders in Eni;lnnd,
prior to tlie Conquest; but would seem to have been assumed by the larger land holders and gentry, at a later
period, and then but slowly and reluctantly ; a plurality of names being viewed as an onerous imposition upontheir personal dignity and unmistakable individuality. At a much later period, a Scottish chief very emphati-
cally and indignantly remark(Ml to an English traveller, who had used the word Mister, in addressing him :
—
" There are many Mr. McDonald's, and there are many Captain McDonald's, and Colonel McDonald's jbut there
is but ONE McDonald.

Capt. WiLLiJtM Henrv Herrick, R. N., in a letter addressed to Alfred Henick, Esq.,October 19, 1836, says :
" It is also probable that we have sprung from the same old stock,Erryck, the Danish chief, who was one of the invaders of England during the reign of Alfredtiie Saxon King of Britain, and h}' whom he was overcome and compelled to settle in EastAnglia, in which is that part of England now called Leicestershire, and where his descendants.still reside in great affluence."
Holinshcd's Chronicle, Sixt Booke, page 680.

. qil"" "After this, other of tlie Danes assembled themselves togither, and in
„. j-j Straffbrdshire, at a place called Tottenhall, fought with the Enghshmen, andaf\.er great slaughter made on both parties, the Danes were overcome, and so
likewise were they afterwards at Woodfield, or Wodenfield. And thus King Edward put theDanes to the woorse in each place connnonlie where he came ; and hearing that those in
Northumberland went to breake the peace, he invaded the countrie, and so afflicted thesame, that the Danes which were inhabitants there, gladly continued in rest and pea'ce."
p, , " But in the mean time, Ericke* the King of those Danes ichich held the countrie^ ' of East /Ir^le, was about to procure new.warre, and to allure other Danes to join
with him against the Englishmen, that with common agreement they mio-lit set upon theEnglish nation and utterly subdue them. King Edward having intelligence hereof, proposedto prevent him, and thereupon entering with an army into his countrie, cruelly wasted andspoiled the same. King Ericke having alreadie his people in armour, through, displeasure
conceived hereof, and desire to be revenged, hasted foorth to encounter his enemies, and so
they met in the field, and fiercelie assailed each other. But as the battell was rashlie begunon King Erick's syde, so was the end very harmfull to him, for with small adoo^ after great
losse on both sides, he was vanquished and put to flight.
After his coming home, bicause of his great overthrow and fowle discomfiture, he began to
govern his people with more rigour and sharper dealing than beforetime he had used.Whereby he provoked the malice of the East Angles so highlie against him, that they fell
upon him and murthered him;yet did they not gaine so much hereby as they looked to
have oone, for shortlie after, they being brought low, and not able to defend their countrie,
were compelled to submit themselves to King Edward."B. 3. Another of this name who was sometime Governour of Northumberland may
Hon. Geo. P. have been mistaken for Ericke of East Anglia; this was" Eirikr or EricMarsh. Blodox,- son of Harald Harfagri, King of Norway." His story is thus told
by Thiery, page 28. " Ethelstan boasted in his charters of having subduedevery people foreign to the Saxon race, inhahitting the Island of Britain. To the Anglo-Danes of Northumberland, he gave a Norwegian for their Governour. (This was Eric, son
of Harald, an old pirate, who turned Christian to obtain this Government.) OnA.D.937. the day of his baptism he swore to keep and defend Northumberland from the
pagans and pirates ; and from being a Sea-King,t he became King of a province,
* " Eirikr, son of Harold Gormson, King of Denmarli." Hon. Oeorge P. Marsh, of U. S. Saiate.
t VI KINGR. SEA KINGS.This title was appropriated by the ancient Scandinavians as expressive of their assumed domhiion over the
seas, which, originating in a rightful jurisdiction over the narrow Seas and Sounds, which every where sur-
rounded and intersected their country, they did not scruple to e.xtend to the Baltic, the North Sea, the British
Channel, and the broad Atlantic, as their increasing power and resources enabled them to sustain their preten-Fions. This Marine Empire was usually conceded to the younger sons and remoter branches of the RoyalHousehold, who, vested with the title and dignity of Vi Kingr, assembled under their Standard all the braveand adventurous younger sons and cadets of the country, with their retainers and dependents. And thus wereconstituted those fierce and fearless Squadrons, which, for many centuries, were the terror and the scourge ofSouthern Europe, and finally became the permanent possessors of some of the fairest portions of it.
Such was their professional pride,—confidence in their own resources, and disregard for all adverse circum-stances and contingencies, that the Sea Kings and their forces made their ships their home,—contemning the
hospitalities of their friends, " it was their boast, that they never drained the drinking horn, by a cottage fire,
but on lands acquired by their own swords."Nor was there any thing dishonorable implied either in the motive or manner of these predatory wars. They
were in accordance with the spirit and practice of the world for many ages; nor can modern war claim higheror purer motives, while private property shall be subject to seizure and destruction by private armaments
;prize
money awarded to public ships, and the plunder of cities reward the conquerors. E-Xclnded by the law ofprimogeniture, from all participation in the family honors and Estates—from the throne, as well as from the
most humble freehold ; the junior branches of Scandinavian society, were driven to the only available and hon-orable resource,—WAR ! Nor could their direct and simple politics comprehend the legal refinements and dis-
tinctions, and scruples, and the obscure moralities, of the international law of more modern times. They fought
for subsistence ; for wealth ; for honor and renown ; for permanent dominion, and a home for their name andrace. They seized upon and colonized waste and unoccupied countries, as Iceland and Greenland ; and theysubdued and dispossessed their less warlike neighbors.
It is true that the Italians, the Franks, and the Anglo-Saxons, denounced these Sea Kings and Rovers, as
pirates and robbers ; but they treated with them as with legitimate powers. Alfred executed summary vengeanceupon the Danish prisoners at Winchester; but he negotiated with Hastings, Guthrum, Ericke, and other DanishChiefs, as with Sovereign Princes ;—assigned them extensive domains in Britain, with all the attributes of Sov-roignty, reserving only, the paramount supremacy of the English crown. The king of France, also, submittedto similar arraiigemems with UoUo, the Dane ; who acquired by treaty the quiet enjoyment of the countries he
APPENDIX. 65
as t]ie Scandinavians expressed it. But this too peaceful dignity soon grew irksome to him,and he betook himself to his ships. After an absence of some years, he returned to visit the
Northumbrians, who gave him welcome, and re-appointed him their cliief, without the consent
of the Saxon King Edred, successor to the son of Ethelstan, (A. D. 946.) Edred marchedaorainst them and forced them to abandon Eric, who, in his turn, in revenge for their
desertion, came and attacked them, along with five Corsair chiefs from Denmark, the
Orkneys, and the Hebrides. He fell in tlie first battle, together with the five Sea-Kings, his
allies. This death, glorious to a Scandinavian, was celebrated by the scalds, or bards of the
North, who, without taking into their account the baptism which Eric had received amongtlie English, placed him in an ideal Paradise, quite different from that of tlie Christians.
" I have liad a dream," said the panagyrist of the pirate ;" I found myself at the dawn of
day in the Hall of Valhalla, preparing all things for the reception of those slain in battle, I
awakened the heroes from their sleep ; I persuaded them to rise, and arrange the benches,
and prepare the drinking cups, as for the arrival of a King."" Whence all this turmoil r' exclaims Bragg; " Whence is it that so many men are active
in placing the benches .'" Odin replies, " It is because Eric is coming ; I expect him ; arise
and go to meet him." And why does his coming give thee more delight than that of another
king .''" " Because many are the places in which he has stained his sword with blood, manyare the places where his blood-stained sword has been drawn."
" Hail to thee, Eric ! Brave Warrior, enter, thou art welcome in this abode. Tell us whatkings accompany thee. How many come with thee from the combat.-'"
" Five kings come," answers Eric ;" and I am the sixth."

No. 34. Nicholas, the third son, was a Merchant in London, hving in 16G4, on the
occasion of the decease of his son, Nicholas, who was a Merchant in the Levant, and anextensive and intelligent traveller in Syria, Egypt, and Palestine. He is honorably alluded
to by a recent traveller, for his researches into the manners and customs of the Turks.
No. 35. Robert was a Clergyman, and Vicar of Dean Prior in Devonshire ; and sharedin the varied fortunes and sufferings of his loyal Brethren, during the rule of Cromwell, andthe two Charles'. He was chiefly distinguished as the author of the Hesperides, a work ofgreat and singular merit—with all its faults, and which, the publication ofa recent and elegantedition, has brought into new life, and into high favor with the literati of Europe andAmerica ; and has awarded to its author the praise so justly his due.*
A writer in the Retrospective Review, Vol. V., page 157, thus speaks of Herrick andhis works. " We do not hesitate to pronounce him the very best of English Lyric Poets.
He is the most joyous and gladsome of bards; singing like the grasshopper, as if he wouldnever grow old. He is as fresh as the Spring, as blithe as the Summer, and as ripe as
Autumn. We know no English Poet who is so abandojine, as the French term it, who so
wholly gives himself up to his present feelings, who is so much heart and soul in what hewrites, and this, not on one subject only, but on all subjects alike. The spirit of song dancesin his veins, and flutters around his lips—now bursting forth into the joyful and hearty voice
of the Epicurean ; sometimes breathing forth strains soft as the sigh of " buried love ;" andsometimes uttering feelings of the most delicate pensiveness. His Poems resemble aluxurient meadow, full of King-cups and wild flowers, or a July firmament, sparkling witha myriad of stars. His fancy fed upon all the fair and sweet things of nature, it is redolent
of roses and jessamine; it is as light and airy as the thistle down,, or the bubbles whichlaughing boys blow into the air, where they float in a waving line of beauty. Like the sunit communicates a delightsome gladness to everything it shines upon, and is as bright andradient as his beams ; and yet many of his pieces conclude with the softest tones of sensibility
and feeling. Indeed it is that delicate pathos, which is, at the same time natural and almostplayful, which most charms us in the writings of Herrick. And as for his versification, it
presents one of the most varied specimens of rythmical harmony in the language, flowingwith an almost wonderful grace and flexibility."
Another Critic writes thus: "Variety, indeed, is the |[reat characteristic of Herrick'swritings, for there is scarcely a subject which he has not touched, or a species of versification
with which he has not dallied. He is alternately gay and melanchoUy, witty and tender,
didactic and descriptive. He is too, at all times, and in every sense, an English poet.
English scenery and English manners are his constant themes ; and his pages record manyancient and interesting national customs, of which no trace is to be found elsewhere. Others,
again, which are more familiar, are described with infinite truth and fidelity. His colouring,
too, is occasionally hightened by excursions into the enchanting regions of Fairy-land ;
where, with magic art, he raises airy halls, builds leafy bowers, conjurs up the most glorious
scenes, and peoples them with the most fantastic beings. Herrick's poetry, in all its
diversities, is ever tJie offspring of a rich and exuberant, although sometimes an unlicencedimagination. His flowers are not tied up in garlands, nor his fruits crushed into baskets, butspring living from the soil in all the dew and freshness of youth."The father of Robert Herrick died 1692, while his family were yet in infancy, and had lefl
them in very moderate circumstances. Fortunately for Robert, however, he early attracted
the notice of his uncle, Sir William, who richly repaid the debt of gratitude he owed to the
father, by educating and otherwise patronizing the son.
No. 15. John Herrick, the fourth son of John Eyrick of Leicester, was many years anAlderman of that Borough, and died 1613, leaving a son, Thomas, and a daughter, Susanna,on record ; and this is all we know of his family and posterity. In the absence of all meansof arriving at truth and certainty, in the research, at this time, we can do nothing more thanto commend to our friends a more careful and searching enquiry among the posterity of John,for their John of Shippool, and James of Southampton. Those patriarchs may have been the
'
Grandsons, or Great Grandsons, of John. And so, also, they may have decended fromNicholas of London, in the same degree. But while we deem their Leicester parentage as
quite the most probable, and claiming our first and most careful examination, we are onlypermitted to repeat our earnest desire that at some future day, and by the vigilence of somemore favored investigator, all doubt may be removed, and the exact relationship of all thevarious branches of the numerous descendants of good old John of Leicester, fully ascertained,
and recognized and cherished, till the name and race shall become extinct.

sir William Herrick was a successful courteir and politician, from 1575, when he first
attached himself to the Court of Queen Elizabeth, by whom he was commissioned on animportant embassy to the Ottomon Porte ; and as a reward for his singular diplomatic success
with the hitherto intractable Turk, he was appointed to a lucrative situation in the Exchequer,which he held through the remainder of this, and the following reign of James. " Byhonorable service, and great diligence in business, he acquired a very large property, andbecame one of the great monied men of his time." He had early purchased the estate of the
unfortunate Earl of Essex, at Beau Manor Park, in the Parish of Loughboro', and County ofLeicester, which is still in the possession of his decendants, in the direct line, and has been,
for the last two hundred and fifty years, the Head Quarters of our Race.
The civil wars found Sir William exempted, by great age, from the responsibilities,
although it could not protect him from the sufferings and losses, incident to that stormy anddistracted period, and attaching to him, especially, as a man of wealth, and an old and faithful
servant of the crown.
F. 1.
Henry, the fifth son of Sir William Herrick, and whom we claim to have been our Henryof Salem, 1629, was born at Beau Manor in 1604. He was named by connnand of the
unfortunate Prince Henry, eldest son of James I. His sponsors were Sir David Murray,Sir John Spillman, and Lady Aston.
The evidence of the identity of our Henry of Salem with the fifth son of Sir WilKamHerrick, is, to be sure, rather circumstantial than direct, and some of it of a negative, rather
than of a positive character. It is still quite as conclusive and satisfactory as evidence of this
kind, and at this distance of time, can be hoped to be found. The principal points on whichwc rest the conclusion are these :
—
First. No other Henry is found on the English pedigrees of the time.

Third. The identity of the coat of arms of the family at Salem and Beverly with that ofthe Leicestershire family, and especially of the crest, with that of which Sir William was oneof the original Grantees.*
Fourth. The secession of one branch of the Leicester family from the
Letter from John established church. It is known that all the other branches were devotedMorris, of to their Church and King, and that Henry of Salera was a puritan, andShrewsbury, cared little for the Chvrch and less for the King. Desirable therefore, as
Wales. it may be, to determine our English parentage with perfect certainty, andbeyond all doubt, and it has been a chief inducement to all my researches
;
we must be content with the evidence as we find it, and recognize Henry of Beau Manor,as an Anglo-American ancestor, until some more fortunate explorer shall correct our errors.
F. 2. Henry Herrick, settled on " Cape-Ann-Syde" of Bass River, (now Beverly,) onwhich his farm was bounded. He purchased several farms at Birch Plains and Cherry Hill, onwhich he settled his sons Zacharie, Ephraim, Joseph and John. Joseph resided on CherryHill, where he acquired a good estate ; Zacharie, Ephraim and John, at Birch Plains ; Henryinherited the Homesteading, at lower Beverly, a pleasant and valuable farm, and a part of
which is now the property of Mrs. Anna Meacom, a widow lady, aged 93, and a lineal
descendant, of the fifth remove, from Henry, jr. With the exception of this small farm, all
the real estate possessed by Henry Herrick, seinor, and his sons, has long since passed outof our name and kindred. And here it may bo remarked that, with the exception of the
posterity of Zacharie, and some minor shoots from other branches, all of which have beendeclining for the last hundred years, the posterity of Henry of Salem have disappeared fromthe land of their fathers, and have become widely dispersed over tbe eastern, northern, and
* 1. Sir William Herrick was Knighted in 1605. On that occasion he obtained some additional embellish-ments on his crest, which I find preserved on the copies in Beverly, Mass., and also, on the gravestone of Wil-liam Herrick, Esquire, of Southampton, New York, who died 1708. I give Edminstone's description frommemory. " Crest, a Bull's head argent. Scalp Sable. Mussel and Eares tipp'd sable. Homes argent, perfesse or and gules, tipp'd sable. Gorged with a chaplct of roses or, leaved vert."
2. A very different coat of arms is supposed to pertain to a family of our nnme, and an offset, also, from the
Leicestershire stock, residing in the county of Cheshire, or the neighboring county of Flint, of which the fol-
lowing is a description, viz.
:
" He beareth Sable. A fesse argent, between four balls, or. Crest, an Eagle displayed, sable. By the nameof Herrick, an aitcient family in the We.^t of England.

hood of their ancient plantantions.
" He sung of the companions of our youth, and the days of former years ; when we met on" the banks of Lego, and sent arotmd the joy of the shell."

F. 3. Henry Herrick was a husbandman, in easy circumstances, but undistinguished bywealth, or by civil rank and influence in the colony. He was a very good and honest•dissenter from the established church, and the friend of Higginson, who had been a dissenting
Minister in Leicester. Mr. Herrick and his wife Editha, were among the thirty, whofounded the first church in Salem, in 1629 : and on the organization of a new parish, on" Ryal-Syde" 1667, they, with their sons and their sons' wives, were among the foundersof the first church in Beverly, also. But there are reasons to suspect that neither Henry,nor his sons were, at all times, and in all things, quite as submissive to the spiritual powersof their day, as they should have been. On the Court records of Essex County is an entry
like this : " Henerie Hericke, and Edith his wife, are fined 10 s., and 11 s. for costs ofCoort, for aiding and comforting an excommunicated person, contrary to order."
At a later period, but still early for such an enterprise, (1711-14,) Joseph Herrick, senior,
and such of his sons as dwelt in that territory, were active and ethcient members of the newParish called "Salem and Beverly Precinct," and in the settlement of the Reverend JohnChipman, and the organization of a chvirch upon a foundation much more liberal than hadhitherto been recognized in Massachusetts. In their covenant or platform, which still
remains, without the alteration of a word or a letter, the foundation of a numerous churchand society, under the Pastoral care of that worthy successor of Mr. Chipman, the ReverendEdwin M. Stone, the peculiarities of Calvinism can no where be detected. Several onerousconditions to the admission of members, also, have been dispensed with by Mr. Chipman andhis associates, which had theretofore been deemed all important, but which, in fact, hadoperated to encourage hypocracy and imposture, while they had embarrassed the churches,and excluded from their communion very many good and worthy, but delicate and scrupulouschristians.
The sons of Henry Herrick were all farmers, and with the exception, perhaps, of Joseph,
were exclusively farmers. Joseph acquired a considerable property, more than could well
have been derived from the profits of agriculture at that time, and by a person charged withthe support of a family of ten children. But we have now no clue to his pecuniaryjesources, unless it may be detected in the scanty gleanings from his very barren andobscure history, which here follow : Late in life he is stiled " Governour," on the churchrecords, and also, on the Diary of the Rev. Mr. Greene of Salem, and after his decease, hebears the same title on the records of the Probate Court. Whence he derived his right to
this distinction is no longer known to us. The Rev. Mr. Felt thinks he was at one timeGovernour of one of the British W. L Islands. Nor is this impossible. Mr. Herrick seemsto have been absent from Salem, for several years, subsequent to the decease of his first wife,
and prior to his second marriage. We have a tradition, also, that he visited England aboutthat time ; and at Liverpool encountered his cousin, Gershom, the heir of the Irish family,
by whom he was persuaded to entertain a proposition to remove his family to Ireland, but heabandoned the design on his return to America, for reasons which have not come down to
us. We have referred to these obscure reminisences, solely for the purpose already indicated.
And without claiming any heritable rights in these undefined honors of our ancestor : wemay be permitted to remark that, the title of" Governour," in that age, was by no means anidle or empty appelative. So astute and punctilious were our New England ancestors, in
everything regarding official rank and dignity, that, from the Governour of the Province, downto a corporal in the Provincial Militia, the appropriate official title was used, as well in the
ordinary intercourse of life, as in the more solemn transactions of their Judicial Courts, andvarious Civil and Ecclesiastical bodies.
G.
George Herrick came from England to Salem 1685,—was appointed Marshall of the
Colony, and Deputy Sheriff of the County of Essex, which offices he held to the time of his
decease in 1695.
Good old John Dunton, speaks of " good Mr. Herrick, who saved his life at sea." Andhaving visited him in Salem in 1686, he describes him as " a very tall, handsome man ; veryregular and devout in his attendance at church ; religious without bigotry ; and having every
mans good word.''
George Herrick i» supposed to have been the heir, in remainder, to an estate in England,which at the time of his decease was possessed by two aged maiden relatives. But the claimhas never been prosecuted. George died young, leaving an infant family in very humble

circumstaiiceB ; the documentary evidence left by him, cannot be traced to a later date thanthe da3'sof his grand-children; nor have his posterity ever been in a condition to prosecutean enterprise of this kind to a successful result. George was a kinsman of Henry, but in
what degree is not known. There are reasons to conjecture that he was a descendant ofNicholas of London, No. 13 ; and the traditions of the family have located the estate, abovealluded to, at ymithfield, in that city.
H.
James Herrick of Southampton, Long Island, N. Y., was also an emigrant from Englandat sometime prior to lGo7, when his name is first found on the records of that town. Ourtraditions claim the Connecticut Patriarch, (without a name,) and John of Shippool, Ireland,
!ind our own Henry of Salem, as brothers. But there is certainly no evidence of such a
relationship on the" part of Henry, who must have belonged to a generation prior to that of
James and John, of whose fraternity, if there is now no positive proof, there are manyconfirmatory circumstances. They were about the same age, and therefore, may have beenbrothers. John went to Ireland an ensign in Cromwell's army, in 1647. James came to
America about 1650. His second son, William, was born in 1654. James died 1687, andJohn in 1689. John made his brother James, his heir, on failure of his own issue. Noother James Herrick, is found in England or America, answering to the time.
In an investigation of this kind, nothing can satisfy the mind which is not certain and clear
of all reasonable doubt. In the present case, however, inasmuch as, after a very thoroughexamination of every available source of information, no such absolute certainty has beenattained ; and yet numerous circumstances have presented themselves, indicative of a proba-
ble hypothesis ; it may not be uninteresting to our friends of the present time, nor useless in
a farther pursuit of the enquiry, to submit our own conclusions, with the hope that they maybe hereafter verified, or corrected, by some more fortunate and successful investigator.
We say, then, that from a patient consideration of all the evidence now in our possession, wefind no reasonable doubt that Henry of Beau Manor, was our Henry of Salem. Nor are there
any stronger reasons to question the fraternity of John of Shippool and James of Southamp-ton :—Of their paternity, the indications are far less satisfactory. That they may have beenthe grandsons or great-grandsons, of Nicholas of London, No. 13, through his sons Thomasor William ; or from John of Leicester, No. 15, in the same degree, is about all we can say
;
no circumstance decisive of their superior claim to either parentage, has come to our knowl-
edge. If it be true, however, as the late John Farmer has recorded, that there was a William
Herrick in this country, concerned in a land purchase on Long Island in 1639-40, it mayraise a strong presumption that he was William, No. 36, son of Nicholas, and father of Jamesand John. Nor is this improbable. There are certainly stong indications of the early
residence of persons of our name at Oyster Bay, on the site of the first English plantations onLong Island ;* whence the planters were ejected by the Dutch of Manhattan, 1640. And if
William Herrick was concerned in that enterprise, he probably remained on the original
location, as he is not found at Southampton, nor any other person of tlio name, until 1657,
when James is first recognized as a resident there.
With these obscure indices, and feeble lights, we commend the farther investigation of our
English history and parentage, to the attention of some antiquarian friend, who may resumethe enquiry under more favorable circumstances than we have been obliged to suspend it, and
may prosecute it to a more satisfactory conclusion.
