Book Title: History Of Durham, Maine

HERRICK.

   The Herrick Genealogy has been traced back to the twelfth century. The family
is of Scandinavian origin. Sir William Herrick of Beau Manor, Leicester Co.,
Eng., was member of Parliament 1601-1630 and Ambassador from Queen Elizabeth to
the Sublime Porte. Henry, his fifth son, was born in 1604, and came to Salem,
Mass. in 1629, where he married Elizabeth, dau. of Hugh Laskin. They settled in
what is now Beverly. They were among the founders of the first church in Salem
in 1629 and of that in Beverly in 1667. Their fifth son, Joseph, married for his
second wife Mary Endicott, whose sixth child, Martyn, married Ruth Endicott of
Salem and settled at Lynnfield. Their second son Samuel, born 1713, married
Elizabeth Jones of Wilmington in 1742. These were the parents of the Rev. Jacob
Herrick. See
