• Notes

  Inscription: The stone reads: "Here lies ye body of Mr Wm Herrick Esq who departed this life August the 10th Anno 1708 AETAS SVA = 54" Between WM and HERRICK is a shield that contains a horned bull. This is the crest of the Herrick family. Taken from genealogy records of Zebulous Cooper, from the Daughters of the American Revolution Society documents. "This Southhampton family is without question descended from the Leichestershire in England as the crest of the family is engraved on the tombstone of William Herrick, son of James Herrick, the first of the names in Southhampton. "From Howell's History of Southampton, pg 15 Bryant genealogy". This ancient family claims descent from Ericke, Danish chief who invaded Britain during the reign of Alfred. They settled in East Anglia. He is recognized in history as 'Ericke, King of those Danes who held the country of East Angle'.... "Sir William Eyryk, Knight of Stretton, was commisioned to attend Prince of Wales on his expedition into Gascony in 1355."
