I haven't been able to discover much so far about 7x great grandfather Samuel Herrick. There's this from Jedediah Herrick's Herrick Genealogy:
4. 3- Samuel Herrick; d. 1743; settled in Gloucester, Mass., about 1720; rem. from Beverly; m. May 25, 1691, Sarah Leach, of Salem.

Herrick Genealogy: A Genealogical Register of the Name and Family of Herrick from the Settlement of Henerie Hericke, in Salem, Massachusetts, 1629 to 1846, with a Concise Notice of Their English Ancestry,
Privately printed, Columbus Oho 1885
There's strong ties there between the Herrick and Woodbury families: three Herrick daughters married Woodbury men, and my 5x great grandfather Joseph Herrick married Mary Woodbury.
I've found Samuel's Probate File at AmericanAncestors.org. He died intestate, leaving an estate inventory of 898 pounds but after debts it was less than 200. Most of those claiming that Samuel owed him money were his sons and sons-in-law so I'm not sure if this wasn't some plan by the heirs to get their share of the estate rather than have it decided by a commission.
