bullet Isaac HEATH According to The Great Migration Begins, Isaac came to Roxbury in 1635 in the Hopewell. Parents: William HEATH and Agnes CHENEY.


bullet Margery HEATH was born before 1594. I assume that she was at least 20 years old when her first child was born. She died on 9 Jun 1655 in Roxbury, Suffolk, MA.(4476) (4477)(4478) (4479)(4480) Margery Johnson died and was buried in Roxbury, but rreferences conflict on precisely what dates those events occured. According to Paul Johnson's Genealogy of John Johnson (622), "Margery ... died Jan 9 1655 [and is] buried at Roxbury, Mass, April 9, 1655." Now three months seems a rather long time to wait to bury a corpse, but other references confuse rather then clarify. Anderson's Great Migration Begins (585) says she was buried 9 Jun 1655. Mary Holman (616) says she died 4 Nov 1655. Savage (473) says she was "dead or buried" 9 Jun 1655. Some sources call her Margaret SCUDDER. Parents: William HEATH and Agnes CHENEY.

She married to Captain John JOHNSON on 21 Sep 1613 in Ware, Herfordshire, England.(4481) (4482) Johnson (647) claims that Capt.. John JOHNSON's second wife was Margery SCUDDER, daughter of William and Margery SCUDDER of Darenth, Kent, England. However, this is based solely upon an entry in the 27 Jul 1607 will of William SCUDDER, naming John JOHNSON, Sr., John JOHNSON, Jr. and daughter Margaret. No marriage record is known. Moreover, John JOHNSON lived in 12 miles north of London, whereas Darenth, Kent is a few miles southeast of the city. Children were: Mary JOHNSON, Captain Isaac JOHNSON, John JOHNSON, Elizabeth JOHNSON, Humphrey JOHNSON, Joseph JOHNSON, Susan JOHNSON, Sarah JOHNSON, Joseph JOHNSON, Hannah JOHNSON.

She married to George SPEAR (Deacon) about 1643 in MA. (4488)(4489) (4490) Mary Health was described as "a woman of noble and helpful character." George's landlord, Captain William Tyng died in 1661. Tyng's estate was divided on 28 Mar 1661. The will provided George with a continued driftway across which to drive his cattle (118).
Children were: Mary SPEAR, Sarah SPEAR, Samuel SPEAR, Ebenezer SPEAR, Hannah SPEAR, Samuel SPEAR, Nathaniel SPEAR, Hannah SPEAR.

bullet William HEATH was born before 1591 in England.(4493) He is said to have come from Nazeing, Essex, England but his parents resided in Ware, Herfordshire, England. He became a member Roxbury church about 1632 in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony.(4494) He emigrated on 16 Sep 1632 to Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony. (4495) Came on the Lyon with wife Mary (Perry) and his 5 children: Mary and Isaac (through first marriage with Mary CRAMPTHORNE, decesed) and Peleg, Mary, and Hannah (through Mary PERRY). Master William Peirce, sailed the Lyon from London June 22, 1632 and arrived September 16, 1632 at Boston. 'He brought one hundred and twenty three passengers, whereof fifty children, all, in health. They had been twelve weeks aboard and eight weeks from Land's End.' He took the oath of a freeman on 4 Mar 1633 in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony.(4496) He was Deputy to General Court for Roxbury between 1634 and 1642. (4497) Was Deputy 12 times during this period and Magistrate once (25 May 1636). He was member of various committees between 1635 and 1645 in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony.(4498) These included the following:
1635: Committee to "consider of the act of Mr. Endicott in defacing the colors"
1640: Committee to "distribute land & meadow at Conihasset
1640: Committee to value livestock

(4500) He signed a will on 28 May 1652 in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony.(4501) In his will, he leaves his daughter, "Mary Spere." 10 £. He left, according to his inventory, I estimate 426 acres between 28 May 1652 and 21 Oct 1652 in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony.(4502) He died on 29 May 1652 in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony. (4503) He was educated Signed his name as a witness to the will of John Grave but made his mark on his own will. (4504) John Grave mentioned William in his will as one of "my two friends, Phillip Eliot a& William Health." Parents: William HEATH and Agnes CHENEY.

bullet Private Almerin HERRICK was born about 31 May 1823 in NY. (2757)(4510) (4511)(4512) This DOB is far from certain but most likely given the following sources. Although I think the 1823 DOB is most likely, Almerin Herrick was born between 1821 and 1828 or even 1836 depending upon which sources is used:
1821: 006 Bio record says he was 45 when he died in 1866 and a native of NY.
1823 (May 23): DAR application (353)
1823 (May 23): DAR application (359)
1823: 011 Blake (consistent with other siblings born 1809-1825).
1823: died at the age of 43 in 1866 (139).
1826: 39 in Sep 1865
1827: 39 in Jan 1866
1828: 37 in Dec 1865
1836: 173 says he was 29 in 1865 in NJ. Very unlikely. It makes Almerin 7 years old when he buys property in Lake County in 1843. I think he lied about his age when he joined the military. He moved before 13 Jun 1843 to Lake County, IL. (4513) He Buys 91.27 acres in Benton, 40 acres in Warren between 13 Jun 1843 and 3 Mar 1845 in Benton and Warren, Lake, IL.(4513) On 13 Jun 1843, Almerin purchased two 40-acre parcels of land for $100 in Lake County, Illinois. One was in the town of Benton but the other was in Warren. A month later, 8 Jul 1843, he purchased another 40 acre parcel in Benton for another $50, and on 3 Mar 1845, Almerin purchased the last parcel he would buy in Illinois - and 11.27-acre tract near the town school for $90.16 (65). He moved before 1850 to Willow Springs, Lafayette, WI.(4514) In 1850, he lived there only with his wife Rhoda. He lived there until at least 1854. He was a Farmer between 1850 and 1860 in Willow Springs, Lafayette, WI. (4514) He moved in 1860 to Cole Camp, Benton, MO. (776) Almerin and family moved to Cole Camp where Almerin purchased a farm. He served as a 151st IL infantry, H. Hospitalized most of service with Cholera. Died 1866 after discharge between 1865 and 1866 in Civil War (Union). (4510)(4515) According to the 1906 Commemorative Biographical Record, a document possessed by both my grandfather Frank and great-aunt Laura, Almerin enlisted in the Union Army in 1864, served until the war ended, went back to Cole Camp after he was discharged, and lived there until he died (6). Documents obtained since then however disprove much of this. Indeed, after residing in Quincy with his second wife Susan, why would Almerin to go back to Cole Camp where he had lived with his first wife.

The truth is that Private Almerin HERRICK did little soldiering during the war. Like so many soldiers in the Civil War, Almerin fought a battle against diarrhea and disease - a battle he eventually lost. Almerin enlisted, rather late in the war, on 16 Feb 1865 in New Salem, IL as a Private in the 151st IL Infantry, Company I (141). Susan had been married less than two years when Almerin enlisted. She never remarried or had another child. Susan went to live with her father A.B. VINING, who also lived in Adam's County (139).

On 16 1865, Almerin was mustered into service (173). Mustering in meant that the solider was present and eligible for pay. Musters were taken the last day of February, April, June, August, October, and December. Mustering out got your name listed as eligible for discharge. The 151st regiment was mustered into one-year's service was 23 Feb 1865 and was organized at Quincy, IL, composed of companies from various parts of the state (141).

The 151st proceeded by rail to Camp Butler, Springfield, IL for training and arms, arriving 25 Feb 1865. The 151st then proceeded to Nashville, presumably by rail. It arrived 7 Mar 1865 (141).

At this time, only one month after enlisting, Almerin got very sick and remained sick for some time. He was treated for fevers and constipation throughout March, "miasmative disease" (Malaria) in June and July (hospitalized in Nashville), for reasons unreported in August, and for acute diarrhea in September. According to the 31 Aug 1865 mustered roll, Almerin had been returned to Camp Butler in Springfield, but he may have been there for several weeks before the mustered roll was taken (139). This move may have been intended to put Almerin closer to home. See Appendix J for more information on diarrhea and disease during the Civil War.

On 8 Sep 1865, Almerin mustered out of service early (139). The rest of the 151st mustered out on 24 Jan 1866. It seems very likely that Almerin left Springfield and immediately went home because it would appear that Susan got pregnant in Sep 1865.

While Almerin was hospitalized in Nashville and Springfield, the 151st proceeded to Georgia. It marched to Murfreeboro, TN on 7 Mar, traveled to Chattanooga by rail, and arrived in Dalton, GA on 13 Mar 1865. There the 151st IL, 147th IL, 145th IN, and 187th OH became the Fist Brigade, Second Separate Division Army of the Cumberland. They drilled, scouted and conducted guard duty until April 23. Then, under a flag of truce, the Brigade proceeded to Atlanta, Macon, and Kingston. The Brigade completed its toilsome march and arrived in Kingston on 12 May. By then it was led by Brigadier General Judah, who carried with him the terms for surrender for the rebel General Warford and his 10,400 Confederate troops. On 9 Apr 1865, only two months later, General Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appamattox, VA. The 151st remained in GA until 24 Jan 1866, when it was mustered out and ordered back to Springfield. There the 151st received its final payment and was discharged 8 Sep 1866. The 151st saw guerrilla skirmishes, but no fighting. The 151st lost 61 soldiers to disease (141, 139).

On 8 Sep 1866, Almerin was honorably discharged with the entire 151st (139, 141). He was described as 5 foot 6¼ inches tall with dark hair, blue eyes and fair skin in Feb 1865.(4515) He died on 7 Oct 1866 in "near St. Joseph, MO". (4510) Only four months after his daughter Olive was born, Almerin HERRICK died at the age of 43 from "chronic diarrhea and other disabilities ... near St. Joseph" Missouri, hundreds of miles away (139). What was Almerin doing there?

In her 1915, pension application, Susan testified, "My husband's death was reported to us by a man named Jackson at St. Joseph, Missouri, who wrote that he had died there. My daughter sent you the letter with other evidence she had and it was returned to her. But since she moved into this house, a fire burned everything ... We never doubted his death as he was never heard from again." Susan reported that her father supported her and her daughter Olive (139).

Josephine testified in 1915, "My means of knowledge of my father's death is through a letter written to my aunt, Mrs. Lydia Glass (my father's sister) with whom I was living at the time the letter was received. I am the eldest of the children of Almerin and Rhoda Ware Herrick. My father, Almerin Herrick, died October 7th 1866 near St Joe Missouri" (139). Some DAR applications say 7 Oct 1666.
Parents: Alvin HERRICK and Achsah SPENCER.

He married to Rhoda WARE on 8 Nov 1847 in Lake County, IL.(4516) Almerin bought 91 acres of land in Benton and Warren in Lake County, IL. These parcels were separated by a few miles. Only a few miles away, in the town of Newport, lived 18 year old Rhoda WARE. Rhoda must have been interesting with her Manx accent. Maybe she spoke Gaelic as her first language. Her father, Joseph WARE, had brought his family from the Isle of Man and had purchased three 40-acre parcels in Newport only one year before Almerin. It would seem likely that this is how Almerin met his future wife (65).

Rhoda WARE, who would become Almerin wife, was born on the Isle of Man. In 1826, her youngest brother Ebenezer was born according to US census data (60, 61). The US census incorrectly records all of the WAREs as being born in England rather than Isle of Man which is a separate country (60, 61). Rhoda emigrated with her family sometime after that but before 1842, when her father, Joseph WARE, purchased a farm in Newport, Lake, IL (65). I suspect they came to America between 1840 and 1843 because I cannot find anything in US census records until 1850. Rhoda was living with her father in Newport in 1850 (60) and 1860 (61).

Where as Almerin between September 1865 and October 1866? What was he doing near St. Joseph, MO, 250 miles from home where Susan was caring four their 4 month old daughter?
· He may have been in a hospital near St. Joseph, MO from he time of his discharge until his death 8 months later. Thousands of men discharged form their units were not capable of going home right away. The hospitalized men had to continue to fight.
· He may have gone to St. Joseph for a number of reasons. Troops were often mustered out, and then had to wait around to received pay before being discharged. It may well be that he was near St,. Joseph. Almerin and the entire 151st were discharged 6 Feb 1866. He may have been looking for work.
· He may have joined the regular Army and gone west to fight Indians.
· Record keeping during the Civil War was not very good at keeping up with these types of cases. His unit may have lost track of him since he was in the hospital.
· The unit may have carried him as "sick in the hospital," when he may have been given a furlough to go home.

On 29 Oct 1890, about 25 years later, while living at 810 Maine street in Plainsville, IL, Susan notarized her Declaration for Widow's Pension. For some reason, nothing happened (139). In 1915, yet another 25 years later, Susan submitted an affidavit, as did her friends and relatives, testifying that she had never remarried, to receive her pension (139). She wrote:
"I have lived to be almost 80 years old and few people are now living who lived during my married life, so I can get little help as evidence of that time. I am now old and feeble, and my daughter Olive, not strong, is my only dependence for care, in my old age, and she is very anxious to help me get a pension."

In a 1915 affidavit, the Adams County Clerk reported that in 1891, lot 12 in Plainsville was assessed at $400 "being the one-filth value of said lot which were the laws of the State of Illinois at the time" (139).

In another 1915 affidavit, a friend of Susan said that Susan "had always been a resident of Adams County, Illinois and residing in the same neighborhood, save for the period of her married life, when she resided with her husband in an adjoining county" (139). Children were: Josephine Alvira HERRICK, Alvin H HERRICK.

He married to Amelia Susan VINING on 20 Jun 1863 in Quincy, Adams, IL.(4517) It was in the town of Quincy and present were Susan's sister Mary and brother John VINING and afterwards Almerin and Susan moved a few miles away to neighboring Schuyler County until the Rebellion (139). Children were: Olive HERRICK.

In 1830, her is not listed as living in either Oswego or Jefferson counties (although he could be living with one of his sons and show up only as a male over 45).

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.


bullet Henry HERRICK was christened on 16 Jan 1640 in Salem, Essex, MA. (4639)(4528) (4640)(4641) (4642) He Witchcraft Juror at Salem witch trials in 1692 in Salem, Essex, MA.(4643) At age 52, Henry was a juror at the infamous Salem witch trials in 1692. The jury found 31 people guilty of witchery, largely on the testimony of 150 accusers, who accused others to save themselves. Nineteen people were hung on Gallows Hill and 80 year-old Giles Cory was pressed to death over a period of two days for refusing to enter a plea. Later that year, Henry and the other jurors expressed remose in an open letter signed a letter acknowledging their error and asking forgiveness from the victims of the trials and of God, stating that they were "sadly deluded and mistaken .. and distressed in our minds and do therefore humbly beg forgiveness." Here is the complete text of that letter:

Declaration of Regret:

We whose names are underwritten, being in the year 1692 called to serve as jurors in court at Salem, on trial of many who were by some suspected guilty of doing acts of witchcraft upon the bodies of sundry persons, we confess that we ourselves were not capable to understand, nor able to withstand, the mysterious delusions of the powers of darkness and Prince of the air, but were, for want of knowledge in ourselves and better information from others, prevailed with to take with such evidence against the accused, as, on further consideration and better information, we justly fear was insufficient for the touching the lives of any (Deut. xvii) whereby we fear we have been instrumental, with others, though ignorantly and unwittingly, to bring upon ourselves and this people of the Lord the guilt of innocent blood; which sin the Lord saith in Scripture he would not pardon (2 Kings xxiv.4) - that is, we suppose, in regard to his temporal judgments. We do therefore hereby signify to all in general, and to the surviving sufferers in special, our deep sense of, and sorrow for, our errors in acting on such evidence to the condemning of any person; and do hereby declare, that we justly fear that we were sadly deluded and mistaken - for which we are much disquieted and distressed in our minds, and do therefore humbly beg forgiveness, first of God, for Christ's sake, for this our error, and pray that God would impute the guilt of it to ourselves nor others, and we also pray that we may be considered candidly and aright by the living sufferers, as being then under a strong and general delusion, utterly unacquainted with, and not experienced in, matters of that nature.

We do hereby ask forgiveness of you all, whom we have justly offended, and do declare, according to our present minds, we would none of us do such things again, on such grounds, for the whole world - praying you to accept of this in way of satisfaction for our offense, and that you would bless the inheritance of the Lord, that he may be entreated for the land.

(4658) Although he was initially involved in the witchcraft prosecutions, Guilford (617) claims he "was so horrified at them that he wrote a petition in behalf of a victim and led the party that rose against the fanaticism, thus opening himself up to possible persecution." He died on 4 Feb 1718 in Beverly, Essex, MA. (4659)(4660) Parents: Henry HERRICK (Yeoman) and Editha LASKIN.

bullet Josephine Alvira HERRICK was born on 10 Jul 1851 in Darlington, Lafayette, WI. (4662)(2757) This info was provided by her daughter Laura, who supplied this information to the coroner at the time of her death (17). Darlington was larger village about 7 miles south of Willow Springs. Josephine was great grandmother. I remember Grandpa Frank saying that he thought his mother Josephine had said that she was from Iowa. Perhaps he believed that because Darlington is located only 25 miles east of Iowa, and just south of Iowa County, WI.

Should not be confused with another Josephine A. Herrick born in 1851: This other Josephine was born 16 Dec 1851 in VT, daughter of Josiah HERRICK and Lucia Wheeler (The Genealogical and Encyclopedic History of the Wheeler Family in America, by Albert Gallatin Wheeler, Boston: American College of Genealogy, 1914). She died on 14 Jul 1941 in Niskayuna, Schenectady, NY. (4662) She died of "sudden death" according to the death certificate (my Aunt Laura being the informant). Josephine was 90 and living at 1627 Rugby Road in Schenectady, NY with my Aunt Laura. I assume Laura was taking care of her mother in her old age. At 4 a.m. that morning, Josephine fell out of a window, breaking her pelvis, leg and rupturing her internal organs. The coroner noted that Josephine suffered from "arteriosclerosis" and "mental." In the space on the death certificate where he could have listed the cause of death as an accident or suicide, the coroner simply wrote "?" She was buried in Kenosha, Wisconsin on 27 July 1941.

I remember dad saying that the screen was found pushed out and laying on the ground near the body, and that his mother Ethel thought the event was a suicide but his father Frank thought it was an accident. There is a history of mental illness in Ethel's family (her sister ______________), but there is no history in Frank's family. Frank thought Josephine accidentally fell out of the window while trying to open or close it. It happened on a July night in house before the days of air conditioning, so Josephine may well have been trying to adjust the window. Moreover, Grampa Frank owned the house on Rugby Road where his sister Laura paid rent. Josephine had been living there ___ years before her death. Parents: Private Almerin HERRICK and Rhoda WARE.

She married to Private Charles Hastings BLOOD on 27 Nov 1871 in Lake County, IL.(798) (799) Charles learned the trade of "carpenter and joiner." He followed his trade of carpenter for many years. My father has a piece of furniture he calls a secretary that was made by Charles. For some years past, he had been a foreman in the construction department of the N.R. Allen's Sons tannery where he was in charge of all the carpenter work (6, 41, 122).

Charles was a member of the Kenosha Lodge of Masons, where he became as Master Mason and served as lodge master for several terms (122). I own a commemorative coin that he received from the masons which has his name on it and the year 1865, when he was 24. He was also a member of "famous Park City Greys (123), the Kenosha Rifles (49), the fire company (49), and both he and Josephine were members of the Christian Science Church (6).

Charles, Horace and Walter are working as carpenter. Alvin is County Surveyor with an office at 172 Main Street and Franks is a student (124).

In 1908, only Alvin, Walter and Laura are living with their father Charles. Same occupations. Laura is a student (124). In 1921, Kenosha changed its entire street numbering system. Today, this address is known as 1319 59th Street. As a carpenter, with three professional carpenter sons, it seems likely that Charles built this house himself (_____).

By 1916, only Walter and Laura are living at home. Walter is a carpenter and Laura is a teacher (124). Children were: Walter Herrick BLOOD, William Almerin BLOOD, Horace DUNHAM BLOOD, Alvin Hamilton BLOOD, Frank Herbert BLOOD, Laura Lillian BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD.
