HERRICK.
I. HENRY HERRICK came to Salem, Mass., from Leicester, England, in the year 1629; m. Editha Laskin, of Salem, probably in 1633; settled in Salem, now Beverly, where he d. in 1671, aged 67 years. They were among the thirty who formed the first church in Salem, and on the formation of a new parish, in 1667, they, with their sons and sons' wives, assisted in forming the first church in what is now Beverly.
Henry Herrick was an husbandman in easy circumstances, a good and honest dissenter from the established church, and a friend of Higginson, who had been a dissenting minis- ter at Leicester.
The regulations of the Puritan church seem, however, to have had but little weight with him and his wife when they came in conflict with their ideas of humanity, as they were at one time fined ten shillings and costs of court for aiding an excommunicated person contrary to order.
II. JOSEPH HERRICK, son of Henry and Editha, styled "Governor" on the probate court records, was baptized 1 August, 1645; d. 4 February, 1717-18; m. (1) Sarah Leach, of Salem, Mass., 7 February, 1666-67; she d. about 1674; m. (2) Mary Endicott, of Salem, who d. 14 Sep- tember, 1706; m. (3) Mrs. Mary March, who survived himn. They settled on Cherry hill, in Salem. He acquired a con- siderable estate, and was an influential man in the com- munity.
. He was a member of Capt. Gardner's company in the Narraganset expedition, and took part in the swamp fight 19 December, 1675. His son, Joseph, was one of the gran- tees of Narraganset No. 3, now Amherst. His son-
