Abigail was the daughter of Caleb and Elizabeth (Randall) House. On June 4, 1789 she married Samuel Herrick in Turner. Together they had five children. One of their sons, Eli, died as a prisoner of war in Quebec in 1814.

About 1802 Samuel relocated to Leeds, and occupied the farm where generations after him would live. The farm was set back from Fish Street, which runs north and south, and is parallel to the River Road and the Androscoggin River. The Herrick farm was on a dirt road that ran west from Fish Street to the Androscoggin River, to where there was a ferry landing. This road had long been unused, but is still called "Herrick's Lane." All that remains of the Herrick farm are the cellar holes.
