Herrick

Burke claims that the county Cork Herrick family is a junior branch of that of Herrick of Beaumanor in Leicestershire. They were granted Roche lands adjacent to Kinsale and Inishannon, county Cork, in the seventeenth century. In the 1870s, the largest Herrick estate in county Cork, comprising over 3000 acres, belonged to Thomas B. Herrick of Ship-Pool Castle, near Innishannon. William H. Herrick (father of Thomas B. Herrick) and the representatives of Gersham Herrick (Herricks of Coolkerkey) were among the principal lessors in the parishes of Ballymartle and Leighmoney, barony of Kinalea, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Henry Herrick and John E. Herrick held land in the barony of East Muskerry parishes of Inchigeelagh, Kilbonane and Moviddy. Hussey records three other Herrick family members owning more than 500 acres in the 1870s, Gersham Herrick (515 acres), the representatives of Henry Herrick, Cork (1,011 acres) and the representatives of Edward Herrick of Bellmount (669 acres in county Cork and 703 acres in counties Tipperary and Queen's County combined). Over 100 acres and the mill at Ballygarvan, the property of Gersham Herrick and John Garde, was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in January 1865.
