Indeed, Kerry has several ancestors from Beverly.He is descended of John Thorndike and Elizabeth Stratton through his son Paul who married Mary Patch in 1668 in Beverly.Also from Henry Herrick and Edith Laskin through his daughter Mary who married John Batchelder in 1673 in Salem. Also John Trask and the tragic Christian Woodbury through his son Edward Trask who married Mercy Eliot in 1705.Also Israel Wood and Judith Tuck through his daughter Judith Wood who married Ebenezer Francis in 1766.Kerry is also descended of countless famous Salem (Cabots, Pickerings, Putnams, Gardners, Higginson, etc.) families, who intermarried often with Beverly families.I have yet to find a Balch in his family tree, except as cousins or in-laws.
