HERRICK'S BRANCHES




Many family names, Ferris, Simpson, Davenport, etc are included in the genealogy report that you can see by clicking the Herricks Genealogy button above. It's quite large and I hope you take the time to read through it and find your generation. If there are any errors, please contact us. Please note that this genealogy information is the best to my knowledge and from references from other books already in print.

Therefore, Generations 1 through Generation 3 are written here from my own personal life's experiences and memories, and the rest of the generations are from books in print compiled by one of many Herricks I have met through the lines of the internet.

So to begin, let's talk a little about the Herrick's ... a William F Herrick had a few interesting words to say..... "my dad and grandad established Mayflower descendencies on 2 or 3 lines, most notable of which was Standish, (his daughter) Tinkham, (their daughter) Wood, then Herrick to current times (the "Salem Henerie Herrick" ) one often reads in other references" and he goes on to say......." There is even a "Jewish" side, starting from three brothers coming into Ellis Island at the turn of the century-- Isadore, Abraham, & the third name is illegible as it is written in the books at Ellis Island -- who are inscribed on the Island's "wall of names," William also mentions there is a Herrick Crest! Also, did you know there is a Herrick Lane?? There is also a Herrick Family Association.

Dwight Stiles Herrick's name continues for generations, with Dwight Herrick Macduff as the last as I am aware of at this time. However, we recently completed DNA testing. This test was done to find the Macduff line, as it has been extremely difficult in finding any Macduff Ancestors.





This DNA update refers only to the Macduff's of Peekskill, New York.

We have changed some of the links, so if whoever is interested in obtaining this information, please email the webmaster with your current email address and tell us why you are interested in this information. We will then direct you the proper source.
