HERRICK FAMILY.
From the Gen. Register of the family of Herrick, published by Hon. Jedediah Herrick in 1816, we learn that "the traditions of this very ancient family claim their deseent from Ericke. a Danish chief, who invaded Britain, during the reign of Alfred the Great, and having been vanquished by that king, was compelled with his followers to repeople the wasted districts of East Anglia : the government of which he held as a tief of the English crown. He is recognized in history as . Fricke, King of the Danes, who held the countrie of East Anglia."" The line is traced down through " Eric the Forester." to " Henerie Hirick, Hericke or Her- rick, of the eleventh generation from King Ericke." Previous to this time the name is spelled in at least seventeen different ways. but after that time the orthography is Herrick.
