PREFACE.

The compiler of this volume has felt during nearly his
whole life-time, that no knowledge, and no human pursuit is
of any real value, except as it contributes to the improvement
of the human character, and to the advancement of the true
and final welfare of mankind. Every man is sent into the
world for some important purpose ; every man is bound to
make the most of himself, and to promote, as far as possible,
the virtue and ultimate good of all with whom in any way he
may be connected.
This motive, the compiler does not hesitate to say, has
been his governing principle in preparing the volume now
before the reader, and in the five or six other Genealogical
works which bear the imprint of his name.
I have for many years been deeply impressed with the
value of Genealogy. I regard it, when properly executed, as
an important means of human improvement. Why else, is
so large a portion of the Bible devoted to it ? God, in giving
us his Word, meant our highest good. Why did he so often
remind his ancient people of their descent from Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob ; yes, and furnish them with ample means
of verifying the fact ? Indeed, the Bible may, without vio
lence, be considered as a Family History from beginning to
end. The wisdom of God is seen in placing the human race in
families, capable of feeling an interest in each other's welfare;

Vlll PREFACE.
and a true civilization, and a true republicanism cannot be
maintained where this family feeling is unknown. Indeed,
no human beings can be found, in any part of the world,
where something of the kind cannot be observed. Those
persons, therefore, who affect indifference to the history and
character of their ancestors, run counter to an innate princi
ple of humanity, implanted in us by'the author of our nature
for the best of reasons.
The wisest and best of the ancient heathens placed a high
value on the facts of their ancestral history. The effigies of
their ancestors were preserved with great care, and were car
ried with high respect in their funeral processions. Cicero,
in his oration for the poet Archias, appeals powerfully to this
cherished sentiment as essential to a sound character. Our
own Daniel Webster, the American Cicero, has said, " It is a
noble faculty of our nature which enables us to connect our
thoughts, our sympathies, and our happiness, with what is
distant in place or time ; and looking before and after, to hold
communion at once with our ancestors and our posterity.
There is also a moral and philosophical respect for our ances
tors, which elevates the character and improves the heart."
" Those who are regardless of their ancestors, do not perform
their duty to the world." The Rev. Samuel Miller, D. D.,
Professor in theTheological Seminary at Princeton, N. J., —
a name held in the highest respect for wisdom, piety, learning,
and usefulness, — thus expressed his opinion, in a letter to the
compiler of the Foote Genealogy, dated Feb. 4, 1848, the
writer being then in his eighty-first year :— " I am ashamed, ,
my dear sir, that the business of Genealogy has, in times
past, engaged so little of my attention ; and that now, when
I see so much of its real value, a great deal, truly interesting
to me, has irrecoverably gone ! " What multitudes have had
occasion for a similar acknowledgment !
The history of a nation being nothing else than the collec
tive history of the families that compose that nation, it is
easy to see sufficient reason for Family Histories. The com
piler finds great satisfaction in the thought, that now, in this

PREFACE. IX
centennial year, so many pens are employed in tracing out
the facts of Family and Town History in the Northern States
of this American Union. How many are thus worthily em
ployed, it is impossible to announce ; but I have on my table
a list of five hundred Family Histories completed a year ago ;
some of them of unspeakable value.
The compiler, at least, had very cogent reasons for un
dertaking this work. Descended from a Huguenot family,
compelled to leave la belle France in the reign of the Virgin
Queen of England,* and take up their abode among a people
of a strange speech, and of unaccustomed manners ; descend
ed, moreover, from thirty-five Puritans of different names, in
the first generation of New England people ; sprung from
men who aided in repelling the savage Indian, and who served
their country in the Revolution in battles both on the sea
and on the land; not omitting Zechariah Symmes, of Charles
town, John Marshall, of Scotland, Peter Palfrey, and Francis
Higginson ; these names should certainly inspire unwonted
ardor in speaking of the early times of New England.
The eyes of the world are now turned, with an eager, anx
ious look, and an interest altogether without parallel, to these
western shores. While other nations are ruled by a stern
despotism or an oppressive oligarchy, crushed under a heavy
weight of taxation, and trembling for the future ; their popu
lation discontented, and some degree of civil order maintained
only by the constant presence of a large armed force ; here
is a people with a civil constitution in whose support all par
ties are unanimous, and advancing in population, in wealth,
and in power, beyond all former example. The world is in
quiring after the cause. The cause, under God, is to be found,
unquestionably, in the personal character of the men and
women who settled on this coast two hundred and fifty years
ago. They were a people of singular wisdom and worth.
Their character was formed, their institutions were founded,.

*On St. Bartholomew's day, Aug. 24, 1572, not less than 30,000 — some say
70,000— Protestants fell victims to the malice of the Catholic clergy.

X PREFACE.
their policy proceeded, on the Bible. Theirs were an eleva
tion of aim, a purity of purpose, a steadiness of resolve, a
fortitude under trial, and crowning all, a sense of responsibil
ity to God, never seen before. They left the green fields and
pleasant towns of old England, not to improve their temporal
condition, but to found on these then inhospitable shores an
asylum for civil and religious liberty. They struggled with
difficulties and dangers, they endured hardships and suffer
ings, of which the present generation have no adequate con
ception. Their character was formed in the school of adver
sity, and thus were they prepared in the providence of God»
for the noblest of all merely human achievements — the foun
dation of a Christian Republic.
We do not claim for our ancestors, that they were perfect,
that they were free from all blame. Faults they doubtless
had, or they would not have been men. But compared with
other men, and especially with the men of their times, the
balance is greatly in their favor. Compared with our age,
theirs was an age of darkness. It is extremely unfair to
judge of them as if they enjoyed the light of modern times.
Many are disposed to depreciate the past ; to regard such
inquiries as are answered in this volume with stolid indiffer
ence, if not with scorn. But what would they have been,
what would this country have been, if the character of our
ancestors had been materially different from what it actually
was ? To a very great extent, men are what their fathers
were before them. Every age transmits its own character,
but slightly modified, to that which is to follow. To doubt
this, is to call in question the truth of all history. The En
glishman, the Frenchman, the Spaniard, the American
savage, are to a great extent what their ancestors were.
To connect, as far as may be, the present age, with the
generation that peopled New England, as well as to gratify
that laudable curiosity, which seeks to know from whom we
sprung, and what they did, under what embarrassments they
labored, and what results they reached, is the design of the
present volume. To accomplish this desirable end, the com-

PREFACE. Xl
piler has spared no effort in his power. The volume now in
the reader's hands contains the result of the severe toil of
many years, for the most part performed in very feeble health,
with small encouragement from others, and with no hope of
a pecuniary reward. It was undertaken and has been pur
sued, wholly from conscientious motives, and a sincere,
earnest desire to benefit others. Times without number has
the author wished that the labor might have devolved on
others, and he been released from a labor which not one per
son in ten thousand can appreciate or properly discharge.
But such a change was impossible. The author felt that he
was charged with a sacred duty, both to the dead and to the
living ; the work was laid on him and he must perform it.
Such a work as this, in a financial point of view, never pays.
Such a volume can obtain only a very limited circulation.
The flashy novel, the well-told tale, the superficial narrative,
the silly drama, is eagerly bought up, in preference to the
history of the wise and good ; while the value of the two is
usually in inverse proportion to the currency obtained and
the money bestowed. A friend of the writer, a bookseller,
who has probably done more to put in circulation Family
Histories than any other man in the country, has never sold
more than 500 copies of any one of them, even after several
years time. And yet some of these family histories are of
sterling value, by first-rate authors, and throw great light on
the past. The present writer has had some experience on
this matter.
Three years ago, I issued the Symmes Memorial, contain
ing a Biographical Sketch of Rev. Zechariah Symmes, minis
ter of Charlestown, Mass., from 1634 to 1671, with a
Genealogy and brief Memoirs of some of his descendants,
coming down to the present time. Mr. Symmes was one of
the founders of New England ; his influence was most happy,
and is felt to this day ; his posterity are widely scattered,
both in the East and in the West. The book contained two
hundred pages : it cost me the labor of eight or ten months,
and five hundred dollars in money. An 8vo. edition of 300

Xll PREFACE.
copies was printed. I made what effort I could to dispose of
the copies. Nearly one-half of this edition remain on hand.
All this shows the slight value which most people set on
their ancestry. And many of my correspondents suppose
that by the issue of the Richardson Memorial volume I am
making money, that I am engaged in a great speculation.
The other Genealogical works which I have issued would
have brought me largely in debt, had it not been for the kind
ness of a few friends who have subscribed generously to make
up the deficiency, some a hundred dollars, some fifty, some
twenty-five, some fifteen, ten, or smaller sums.
The author began to collect materials for this work more
than twenty years ago, while preparing a history of the
Vinton Family, to which he himself belongs. More than
twenty pages of that volume are devoted to notices of the
Richardson Family. The two families have to a very consid
erable extent been intermingled. My own wife was a Rich
ardson; her mother, still iiving under my roof, at the age of
ninety-six, was a Vinton. Three years since, becoming
partially free from other engagements of this nature, though
suffering greatly from ill health, I was induced, under some
encouragement from two gentlemen of the name, to under
take a History of the Richardson Family. From that time
to the present, this has been my principal employment. Six
or eight hours of every secularly have been devoted to this
work. All this time, without the intermission of one day,
my health has been so slender, my bodily frame so feeble, as
to unfit me for almost every kind of work. But a sense
bf duty impelled me on, to do what I could. If I ceased
from the work, nobody, I was sure, would take it up.
To obtain materials and to make arrangements for this
work, about 350 letters have been written, within the last
•three years, many of which have not been answered. Many
family and town histories have been consulted. The Pro
bate Records of the counties of Essex, Middlesex, Suffolk,
Norfolk, and Worcester, in Massachusetts, of Hillsborough,

berland, and Lincoln, in Maine, have been thoroughly
explored, and to some extent the volumes of title deeds in
York, Cumberland, and Lincoln counties in Maine ; the town
records of many towns have been laid under contribution.
The catalogues of colleges and Theological Seminaries have
afforded a grateful help. A very large and very acceptable
part of the material has come from correspondence with pri
vate individuals.
The writer has great satisfaction in acknowledging assist
ance from Hon. William A. Richardson, of Washington, D. C,
late Secretary of the United States Treasury, Hon. Roswell
M. Richardson, Mayor of Portland, Me., 1S75-6, Albert L.

Princeton, Mass., Mrs. Caroline Malvina Bill, of Waltham,
Mass., Rev, Richard H. Richardson, of Trenton, N. J., Hon,
John Daggett, of Attleboro, Miss Lydia Reed Stone, of
Medford, and from many other ladies and gentlemen. The
ladies, in particular, have been careful to answer the author's
request for information, and to them he feels under special
obligation. In a few instances, however, the author's requests for infor
mation have been wholly disregarded, or treated with great
disrespect. Not considering that he has not the smallest
personal interest in the matter, save to have every family
correctly and properly reported in the volume.
Throughout this book, the author has supposed that he was
conferring a great favor on the persons written to; and not
they on him by answering. He has found existing among
persons, in other respects well-informed and respectable, a
most shameful and lamentable ignorance, in regard to those

XIV PREFACE.
to whom, under God, they owe their existence, and all the
blessings they enjoy. Very few persons can go back farther
than their grandparents, even so far as to give their names or
residence. Persons, to whom I have applied for information,
have made statements respecting their ancestors, only two'
generations back, which were destitute of any sort of founda
tion whatever. " Their great-grandfather," they said, " was
the son of an English gentleman, who came to this country
just before the Revolutionary war ; he was one of three
brothers who settled in  ; he was at the battle of
Bunker Hill, or the surrender of Cornwallis," and the like ;
and they insisted with the utmost assurance that their story
was correct ; when I had copies of written records, found in
our State House and elsewhere, made by the persons referred
to, under oath, which completely overthrew their whole state
ment. I am sorry to say that town and church records, some
generations back — the case is now somewhat relieved — are
not free from the most shameful omissions and blunders.
The utmost care has been used to avoid errors, but even this
could not fully exclude them.
The author intended, originally, to write a full and ex
haustive history of the Richardson name in this country,
but has found this utterly impracticable. From the lack of
material, and chiefly for want of room, he has been compelled
to chiefly confine himself to the posterity of the three Rich
ardson brothers, Ezekiel, Samuel, and Thomas, who united
with others in the settlement of Woburn, 1641, of John Rich
ardson, who was married in Medfield in 1679, and of Edward
and William Richardson, who settled in Newbury. He has
a large amount of other material, some of it nearly ready for
the press ; but to print it would make the book too heavy.
I have found it necessary greatly to diminish in volume
much of what has been sent to me for insertion in this book,
and also to alter its arrangement. This has cost much labor
and time.
Armorial ensigns might have been obtained, and used, but

PREFACE. XV
the compiler believes that most that have been inserted in
American books of Family History are spurious.
The compiler claims as original, and wholly his own, the
practice of placing one's ancestors, at the outset, in a straight
line before his name, thus — Sameul,6 Thomas? yames? Eben
ezer? yohn? William} thus enabling a man to trace back at
a glance his pedigree to the settlement of the country.
There is one consecutive numbering from first to last, save
in the case of the Richardsons in England, and those in this
country, of whom mention is made previous to the posterity
of Ezekiel Richardson, page 31. This arrangement will
greatly facilitate the finding of a name in the Index.
The portraits are all from steel plates, and nearly all were
obtained by the author's personal solicitation, and expressly
for this work ; and all at the expense of the persons repre
sented, or their near friends.
The printing of this work has been remarkably well done ;
and the author believes that the thanks of all who desire a
volume of this kind are due to the printers, Messrs. Brown
Thurston & Co., of Portland, for the accurate, faithful, and
tasteful manner in which the mechanical execution of the
work has been accomplished.

PRELIMINARY REMARKS.

Surnames are of high antiquity. It soon became necessary to
distinguish a man from others of the same name, to prevent con
fusion and mistake. The name of the man's father, or the place
where he lived, or his occupation, was used for this purpose.
Thus, David, the son of Jesse, Simon, son of Jonas, Joshua, son
of Jozadak, Saul of Tarsus, Judas Iscariot, Mary Magdalen,
Alexander, the coppersmith, and many others. The practice ob
tained among the Greeks and Romans, as Diodorus Siculus,
Ptolemy Soter, Paulus iEmilius, Marcus Antonius, Augustus
Csesar, and so on.
There were four principal ways in which surnames originated.
1. From some ancestor, as Johnson, Benson, Thomson, Richard
son, Wilson. The names Adams, Davis, Williams, Phillips,
Peters, and many others, had a similar origin. 2. From the
place of one's birth, residence, or achievements, as Godfrey of
Bouillon, Simon of Montfort, John of Gaunt, Frederic Bar-
barossa, Scipio Africanus. This was mostly confined to persons
of distinction and quality. 3. From one's trade or profession, as
Smith, Carpenter, Baker, Farmer, Webster, &c 4. From some
personal attribute or condition in life, as Long, Short, Mich,
Poor, Brown, White, Green, Strong, Hardy, &c, in great abun
dance. So also William Rufus, or the Bed, Edmund Ironsides^
&c. In Camden's Remains concerning Brittaine is the following
statement : " William Belward, Lord of the moiety of Mal-
passe, soon after the Norman Conquest, had two sons; the young
er named Richard, named from his small size Richard the Little.
One ofthe sons ofthe last-named Richard was called John Rich-

ard-son, taking his father's name with the addition of son for his
surname. Hence came the name and family of Richardson."
Thus "Camden, reverend head." To the crusades, in an especial
manner, Europe and the civilized world owe the use of surnames,
as well as of armorial bearings and of heraldry. Among the vast
armies of the crusaders, composed of many nations and lan
guages, some symbol was necessary to distinguish particular na
tions and their commanders. Surnames were to a small extent
already in existence, but the use of them and of coats of arms
was now greatly increased. In England, especially in the middle
of the twelfth century, we now begin to read of Thomas k Beck
et, Nicholas Breakspear, Stephen Langton, William Longsword,
and Richard Strongbow, among the higher classes; and the lower
were not late in following. Robin Hood, the outlaw, belongs to
this period.
Richard was a favorite name among the Normans, and the sur
name Richardson unquestionably originated with them. We find
it among no other people. They made themselves masters of a
large part of France in the ninth century, which they called Nor
mandy ; and were governed by a succession of dukes, who bore
the name of Richard. After the conquest of England by that
remarkable people, several kings of that country bore that name;
one of whom, Richard the Lion-hearted, defeated at Ascalon the
immense army of Saladin, consisting of 300,000 combatants, no
less than 40,000 of the enemy having perished on the field of bat
tle, and the remainder driven to a total rout. The name was also
borne by several of the leading men in England, as Richard,
archbishop of Canterbury, from 1174 to 1184; Richard, earl of
Cornwall, brother of king Henry IIL; Richard of Cirencester ;
Richard of Devizes ; and Richard of Hexham. The name has
descended in uninterrupted succession to our own times.
The transition from Richard to Richardson was a matter of
course, and is well illustrated by Camden, in the passage already
quoted. Richardson has been a name widely spread in our
father-land, as well as in our own country. It might not be easy
to find a county in England where the name has not gained a
footing. It is found in Newcastle-upon-Tyne,* and*in the south
of England. We hear of the name as existing in Durham, York-

*A letter from R. M. Glover, M. D., of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, to Dr. Benj.
Cutter, of Wobum, Mass., dated Nov. 17, 1846, says: "The Messrs Richard
son of this town are now preparing an elaborate and exceedingly minute His
tory of Newcastle." — Cutter Genealogy, Introduction, p. xi.

shire, in the counties of Salop, Warwick, Worcester, Norfolk,
Gloucester, Nottingham, Sussex, and Surrey. There are Rich-
ardsons also in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
In Great Britain, as in this country, the name exists in many
distinct branches, having separate pedigrees, and the effort is vain
to trace any connection between them.
. From Burke's "Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland,"
London, 1853, we select the following, out of a much more ample
account. We omit what is merely ornamental, as the arms, ar
morial ensigns, crests, mottoes, and whatever does not strictly
belong to Family History.
The Family, he says, is doubtless of Norman origin. It was
settled in Norfolk, in Yorkshire, in Durham, and perhaps in other
counties, as early as the sixteenth century, and had already ar
rived at eminence. In Bloomfield's History of Norfolk is a copi
ous pedigree of the Family of Richardson, barons of Cramond.
The Family spread into Durham, Gloucestershire, Nottingham
shire, Warwickshire, Sussex, Surrey, Wales, Shropshire, and at
length into Scotland and Ireland.
To the Richardsons of Yorkshire arms were granted before the
year 1600, derived from Nicholas Richardson, of the county of
Durham, who settled in the county of York in 1561. Arms were
granted to the Richardsons of Gloucestershire in 1588. To the
Richardsons of Durham arms were granted in 1615. Richard
Richardson, Esq., of Bradford, in Yorkshire, afterwards of Bier-
ley, in that county, paid a fine of forty pounds in 1630 for declin
ing the honor of knighthood from Charles I. The receipt, signed
Wentworth, the earl of Strafford, the leading minister of Charles,
is still in the possession of his descendants. He died in 1656.
To the Richardsons of Warwickshire arms were granted in
1647. The Richardsons of Surrey had arms in 1765. The Rich
ardsons also of Norfolk, Worcestershire, Shropshire, Sussex, have
arms, also in Scotland and Ireland. They are all carefully de
scribed by Burke, in his "Landed Gentry." What has now been
said is sufficient to show both the antiquity and high respectabili
ty of the Family. This Family has included many names of
great eminence in all the departments of human life, civil, milita
ry, literary, and ecclesiastical. Brief notices of a few of them
must suffice.
Sir Thomas Richardson, knight, son of Dr. Thomas Richard
son, was born at Hardwick, in Norfolk, in 1569. After sustaining
various minor offices, he was made seijeant-at-law— that is, a law-

yer of the highest rank — chancellor to Queen Elizabeth, Speaker
ofthe House of Commons, lord chief justice ofthe Common
Pleas, and in 1631 lord chief justice of England. His wife was
created Baroness of Cramond in Scotland. He was eminent for
energy and worth. He died Feb. 4, 1634, aged 65, and was
buried in Westminster Abbey, where his monument yet remains.
A branch of the Richardson Family removed from Norfolk to
Ireland in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. To Simon Richardson,
a descendant of this branch, were made, in 1666, by Charles II,,
large grants of land in the counties of Monaghan, Cavan, and
Tyrone. His son, Francis, was a judge in Ireland. Another son,
Henry, was high-sheriff of the county of Monaghan. He had
nine daughters, one of whom married Rev. Mr. Douglas, a clergy
man. His nephew, Francis, son of his brother Edward, was a
captain of dragoons, and succeeded to his estates. Edward, born
1707, son of this captain Francis Richardson, had a son Francis,
who was high-sheriff of the county of Monaghan; he died in
1782. Edward, born 1769, eldest son of Francis, last named,
was also high-sheriff of Monaghan and major in the Monaghan
militia. He died in 1843, without issue. His cousin, John
Richardson, Esq., son of Christopher, son of the Edward, born '
1707, succeeded him, and in 1853 represented this branch of the
Family. All of the families thus referred to had armorial bearings,
crests, and mottoes, and were land-holders. Many more names
might have been introduced, but these may answer the present
purpose. RICHARDSONS IN ENGLAND.
We now return to Old England.
John Richardson, Esq., son of Richard Richardson, of Brad
ford, in Yorkshire, who refused, the honor of knighthood, was
born in 1636. He was one of the lords ofthe manor of Bradford,
precentor and canon of York, and archdeacon of Cleveland. His
second wife was a sister of Dr. John Sharp, archbishop of York.
Rev. Samuel Richardson, another son, born in 1647, was a clergy
man, rector of Burnham-Sutton, in Norfolk. Rev. Joseph Rich
ardson, another son, born in 1648, was rector of Dunsfold and
Hambleton, in Surrey.
Joseph Richardson, Esquire, son of the last named, bora in
1689, was of Gray's Inn, a barrister-at-law. By his marriage, in
1723, with Elizabeth Minshull, daughter of John Minshull, of

PRELIMINARY REMARKS. 5
Portslade in Sussex, he acquired considerable estates in that
county, besides which he had large estates in his native county
of York. He died in 1734. His sister, Elizabeth Richardson,
was the wife of Rev. Thomas Warton, vicar of Basingstoke,
Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, and Professor of Poetry in
that University. ' Their gon, Joseph Warton, was master of Win
chester School; and their other son, Thomas Warton, was Fel
low of Trinity College, Professor of Poetry at Oxford, Poet
Laureate, and the eminent author of the History of English
Poetry. Joseph Richardson, Esq., already mentioned as a barrister of
Gray's Inn, had a son, William Westbrooke Richardson, who in
herited large estates in Sussex and Yorkshire ; his wife was Bar
bara, daughter of Richard Johnson, merchant of London. Their
son was William, who died in 1801, without offspring. The
lands and representation now devolved ou his cousin, William
Westbrooke Richardson, born in 1788, a son of Thomas, who was
a son of Joseph Richardson, mentioned above as of Gray's Inn.
He was a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant of Sussex, and the
possessor, in 1853, of large estates.
Rev. Thomas Richardson, born 1698, died 1775, was a clergy
man and the incumbent of Beckingham, in the county of Not
tingham. His brother Christopher, born 1711, married first, Sarah
Addison ; second Catharine Boynton, a niece of the former wife .
Christopher Richardson, born 1752, eldest son of the second mar
riage, was justice of the peace and deputy lieutenant of the
North Riding of Yorkshire; he died 1825. His son, Christopher,
born 1780, was of Field House, York, and was the representative
of this branch of the Family in 1853.
The branch of the Richardson Family in Wales was repre
sented,' in 1853, by Henry Richardson, Esquire, at Aber Hirnant,
in the county of Merioneth. He was a son of Samuel Richard
son, Esquire, of Hensol Castle, county of Glamorgan, in South
Wales. Samuel was high-sheriff of the county of Gloucester in
1787, and of Glamorgan in 1798. Henry and Samuel were born
in Wales; but the grandfather, James Richardson, Esquire, was
a native of the county of Dumfries in Scotland. He married the
heiress of the Dalziel Family, and was connected with the Nor
folk Richardsons.*

Perthshire, Scotland. He was the representative of the Family
of Richardsons which settled in Pencaitland, in the county of
Haddington, Scotland. His mother was of the Stewart Family
of Urrard, and in her right he quarters the arms of Stewart of
Urrard.* In the visitations of Yorkshire for pedigrees, in 1665, there
were found five past generations of Richardsons.f
John Richardson, bishop of Ardagh in Ireland, died in 1654.
He wrote a Commentary on Ezekiel and a Harmony of the Gos
pels. Archbishop Usher (1580-1656), a very learned man, and
highly qualified to judge, in his Annals gives of bishop Richard
son this great eulogium, that he was " vir eruditissimus, et in
sacrarum literarum studiis longe exercitatissimus." Whiston
calls the bishop's Harmony of the Gospels a noble attempt, and
asserts that the true order of the Evangelists had been better
stated by him than by any other. John Leclerc, also, an eminent
biblical critic (1657-1736), speaking to the same point, calls
bishop Richardson " vir eruditus, cujus Harmonium potissimum
secuti sumus." Other witnesses of his great learning might
easily be produced.
A Mr. Richardson was an eminent preacher in Leicestershire
about 1640.
Jonathan Richardson, born 1665, an eminent portrait painter
and writer on Art, attained great reputation in the early part of
the last century. He published an "Essay on the Theory of
Painting," 1719; " Explanatory Notes and Remarks on Milton's
Paradise Lost," 1734. A posthumous volume of his Poems ap
peared 1776. He died May 28, 1745.
Samuel Richardson was born in humble life in Derbyshire, in
the year 1689. His father was originally connected with the
higher grades of society, but was compelled to work at the join
er's trade. He wished to educate his son for the church, but
found his means deficient. At the age of seventeen, Samuel be
came apprentice in the printing establishment of a Mr. Wilde.
Being faithful in the discharge of his duties, at the age of twenty-
one he became foreman in the office. Some years after, he went
into business on his own account, in Salisbury Court, Fleet
Street, London. Prospering in business, he married the daughter

of his former employer. His wife died in 1731, and he married
a Miss Leake. He had six children by each wife.
After completing fifty years of life, with no previous connec
tion with literature, except in the humble occupation of printer,
he gave the world in 1741-2 the justly celebrated and finished
novel entitled Pamela, being the story of a simple, innocent
country girl, whose ruin a dissolute man of quality vainly en
deavored in every possible way to accomplish, but who by her
resolute continuance in virtue found her reward in being raised
to the station of his lawful wife, the sharer of his rank and for
tune. Of this novel Walter Scott says, " The pure and modest
character of the English maiden is so well maintained during the
work, her sorrows and afflictions are borne with so much meek
ness, her little intervals of hope or comparative tranquillity break
in on her troubles so much like the specks of blue sky through a
cloudy atmosphere, that the whole recollection is soothing, tran-
quilizing, and edifying." Richardson's success with Pamela en
couraged him in 1748 to issue " Pamela in High Life," which was
greatly inferior and soon forgotten. " Clarissa Harlowe," in four
volumes, followed in 1748 ; " Sir Charles Grandison " in 1754,
and some other publications, none of which were equal to the
first. Samuel Richardson once saved Samuel Johnson, the far-famed
author of the "Rambler," and of the "Mount Atlas of English
Literature," his Dictionary, from prison by the gift of a small sum
of money to pay a debt. Johnson, in his younger days, was so
poor that he was obliged to leave Oxford without a degree, and
he was compelled to pace the streets of London all night long
for want of a lodging. Mr. Richardson died July 4, 1761. His
Life by Mrs. Barbauld appeared in 1804.
William Richardson, D. D., born 1698, died 1777, was a divine
of eminence.
William Richardson, born in Scotland in 1743, was a poet and
miscellaneous writer. He published " Poems," 1781 ; " Essays on
some of Shakespeare's Dramatic Characters," 1783 ; died Nov. 3,
1814, aged 71.
Joseph Richardson, a miscellaneous writer, who died in 1803,
was a respectable poet. He wrote " The Rolliad," a satire, " The
Probationary Odes," "The Fugitive," a comedy.

gy." In 1837, appeared his great work, «A Dictionary ofthe
English Language." It soon obtained a high reputation, and is
often referred to as an authority. Some suppose that its value
would be greater but for its following of the fanciful etymologies
of John Home Tooke in the "Diversions of Purley. He died
Oct. 6, 1865, aged 90.
Gabriel Richardson, B. D., and Fellow of Brazen Nose College,
Oxford, wrote on the Present State of Europe.
Charlotte Richardson wrote a volume of Poems.
Sir John Richardson is an honored name in the annals ot
Arctic adventure. He was born November 5, 1787, at Dumfries,
in Scotland, of which borough his father, Gabriel Richardson,
Esq., was for several years the Provost. In his fourteenth year,
he left the academy at Dumfries to study at the University of
Edinburgh, with a view to the medical profession. Having re
ceived a medical diploma, he entered the Royal Navy. He was
in 1807 appointed assistant surgeon to the Nymph frigate, and
not far from that time was present at the attack on Copenhagen,
and the seizure of the Danish Navy, Sept. 2, 1807. He was
present also at the blockade of the Tagus in 1809, and twice
volunteered to go in boats on expeditions for cutting out ships.
In 1810, he was transferred to the flag-ship, the Bombay, of sev
enty-four guns. He also served on the coast of Africa, in the
North Sea and the Baltic, and on the American coast.
In September, 1819, he accompanied Sir John Franklin in an
overland expedition from York Factory, Hudson's Bay, with the
purpose of exploring the north coast of America from its eastern
extremity to the mouth of the Coppermine River, which dis
charges its waters into the Great Polar Ocean. He went as sur
geon and naturalist to the expedition. They reached their
destination on the 26th of March, after a winter's journey of
eight hundred and fifty-seven miles. They went on snow-shoes,
a weight of between two and three pounds constantly galling
their swollen feet and ancles. The thermometer sunk to 57° be
low zero ; it was frequently at —40°. In July, 1820, they went to
Winter Lake, more than 500 miles further, where they wintered.
They endured many fatigues and privations ; suffered from the
extreme severity of the climate and for want of food ; they even
ate all the old scraps of leather that came in their way. In July,
1822, they reached York Factory, which they left three years be
fore, and soon after those who were still living returned to Eng
land.

PRELIMINARY REMARKS. 9
Franklin's second overland expedition was undertaken in 1824.
He was accompanied by his former companions, Dr. John Rich
ardson and Lieut, (afterwards Sir George) Back. Four boats,
specially prepared for the purposes in view, were sent out by the
Government, together with ample supplies of provisions, and
scientific instruments of all kinds, water-proof dresses, etc. In
July, 1825, they reached fort Chipewyan. They spent the winter
on the Great Bear Lake. On the 28th of June, 1826, they em
barked upon Mackenzie River, and in a few days reached its
mouth. There the party separated, Franklin and others proceed
ing along the coast westward 374 miles, while Richardson with
another party went eastward perhaps five hundred. The two
parties met at fort Franklin, on Great Bear Lake, in September.
The expedition was undertaken for the purpose of ascertaining
whether a north-west passage could be effected. This, it was sup
posed, was established, and the coast between Clarence River
and the Coppermine, a distance of a thousand miles, was sur
veyed with singular success and accuracy.
In 1846, the honor of knighthood was conferred on Dr. John
Richardson. Though now arrived at an age — that of sixty —
when he might readily be excused from any service requiring
fatigue and exposure, he and his former companion, Dr. John
Rae, left Liverpool March 25, 1848, on an expedition in search of
Sir John Franklin. The explorer last named had left the Thames
in May, 1845, with two ships, the Erebus and Terror, first-rate
vessels, and well-appointed in every respect, the object being to
discover a north-west passage, or more exactly, to ascertain, if
possible, a connection between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
north of the continent of America. The expedition was last
seen by a whaler, on the 26th of July, 1845, near the centre of
Baffin's Bay, about two hundred and ten miles from the entrance
of Lancaster Sound.
Nothing further having been heard from them, a general anxie
ty was awakened in regard to their fate. The government of
England, therefore, resolved to send out three expeditions in
search of them. One, a marine expedition, under Capt. Kellett,
went out by way of Behring's Strait ; another, by way of Baffin's
Bay, was conducted by Captain Sir James Clarke Ross. The re
maining one, under Sir John Richardson, was to make the search
by land. Taking passage in a ship of the Hudson's Bay Compa
ny, and reaching land on the 20th of June, 1848, they went by
way of Slave River and Mackenzie River, reaching the sea at

10 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
the outlet of the Mackenzie on the 4th of August. They care
fully explored the coast from the exit of the Mackenzie to the
mouth of the Coppermine, more than eight hundred miles. They
explored the valley of the Coppermine and the coast of Corona
tion Gulf, as far as the severe weather and the increasing ice
would allow, but found no traces of Franklin. They wintered
on Great Bear Lake, and in the summer of 1850 Sir John Rich
ardson returned to England. Neither of the other expeditions
found any trace of the missing explorer.
Several other expeditions were sent out with the like ill suc
cess ; but on the 23d of August, 1850, the first traces were found
by Captain Ommaney, in the ship Assistance, at Cape Riley, on
Wellington Channel. He found there, among other things, the
remnants of meat-cans, and three graves, with inscriptions, of
Franklin's seamen, dated January and April, 1846. This discov
ery gave encouragement to several more expeditions, until in
March, 1854, Dr. Rae, on an overland expedition, ascertained
from the Esquimaux that Franklin's ships had been crushed in
the ice, the people on board — forty at least — compelled to take to
the shore called on the charts King William's Land, where, there
is no room to doubt, they all perished by starvation. The
corpses of at least thirty-five were found, and there were tele
scopes, watches, compasses, guns, silver forks and spoons, and a
small silver plate engraved " Sir John Franklin, K. C. B." Vari
ous other valuable articles were found in possession of the
natives. Dr. Rae instantly hastened to England with the infor
mation. In 1855, Sir John Richardson, after forty-eight years of great
activity in the public service, tendered his resignation. He was
moved in all his actions by a high sense of honor and duty. He
was possessed of an unselfish nature, and perceptions so acute as
almost intuitively to form a correct judgment, united with a dis
position as humble and loving as a child. He was one of the
most able and useful men of his time. He died June 5, 1865,
aged 77 years, 8 months.
His titles were M. D., LL. D., K. C. B., Fellow of the Royal
Societies of London. and Edinburgh, member of the Geographi
cal Society of Paris and many other places. His works were
Fauna Boreali Americana, 1829-1837 ; Zoology of the Voyage
ofthe Erebus and Terror, 1844-47; Arctic Searching Expedition,
1851 ; The Polar Regions, 1861.
The cost of the expeditions in search of Franklin is estimated
at upwards of four millions of dollars.

A lady named Richardson wrote " The Exile of Poland, or the
Vow of Celibacy," in 3 vols., 12 mo. It appeared in 1819.
William Richardson was Professor of Humanity in the Uni

Dr. Richardson, an English physician, travelled in Syria and
the Holy Land; visited Damascus, Baalbec, the Cedars of Leba
non, Jerusalem, the Land of the Philistines, and other places in
1818, and after his return published an interesting description of
those localities. He was permitted to enter the Mosque of Omar,

12 RICHARDSONS IN AMERICA.

THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.

HISTORY OP THE RICHARDSON FAMILY IN AMERICA.
From the wide diffusion of the name in Great Britain, we
might infer a similar abundance of it in America. As a matter
of fact, the name is here widely spread, and it is often impossible
to trace any connection between those who bear it. No sooner
had the country become open to colonization than the name was
found at different and distant points, and in circumstances which
forbid the idea of a similar origin.
The compiler of the present work has found no Richardson on
these shores earlier than 1630, and he has found quite a number
during the first decade.
Ezekiel Richardson, it is very certain, came over in 1630, in the
fleet with Winthrop. He was followed by his brothers, Samuel
and Thomas, in 1636.
Simon Richardson, aged 23, embarked at Gravesend for Vir
ginia, in the ship America, June 23, 1635.
Thomas Richardson, aged 26, embarked for Virginia, in the
ship Transport, July 4, 1635.
John Richardson embarked at London for Virginia, in the ship
Paul, July 6, 1635.
Another John Richardson, aged 18, embarked at London for
Virginia, in the ship Assurance, July, 1635.,
Luke Richardson, aged 17, embarked at London for Virginia,
in the ship Primrose, July 27, 1635.
No further information has been obtained respecting Simon
Richardson and the names following his. Some of them, there is
reason to suppose, took up their abode in New England and left
posterity here, for about this time the English government began
to lay impediments in the way of the settlement of New Eng
land, while they did nothing to hinder the colonization of Vir-

ginia. On the twenty-first of February, 1634, an order of the
Privy Council was issued to detain ten vessels then lying in the
Thames, with passengers, about to sail for New England. A sim
ilar order was issued March 30, 1638, for the detention of eight
vessels then in the Thames, prepared to go for New England, and
for putting on shore all the passengers who had that destination
in view. Only a week later, the king gave order that no more
passengers should leave for New England except for license spec
ially had and obtained from the Privy Council. This, of course,
put a stop to the emigration of all persons who were not disposed
to acknowledge the Church of England to be the only true
church, and to submit implicitly to the king's prerogative in all
matters civil and religious.
We must therefore suppose that all the Richardsons of the first
generation, in this country, who came to New England, came
previously to 1638 or 1640.
We proceed with our notices of the first settlers.
Amos Richardson must have come to New England before
1640. We find him in Boston as early as 1645, but he was
doubtless there several years before. He lived on what is now
Washington Street, immediately north of what, within my re
membrance, was called " South Row," near "the highway there
leading to the ' Spring,' " or Spring Lane, and immediately north
of what still remains the property of the Old South Church.*
Besides the house and garden he there possessed, he purchased,
May 3, 1647, two acres of land in the vicinity of Fort Hill,t
which he left to his children at his death, in 1683.
He married first, Sarah  ; second, Mary  .
He is described as a " merchant tailor," and was a man of great
respectability, of active enterprise,- and of a good estate. After
the departure of Stephen Winthrop — the governor's son — for
England, in 1641, he was agent for him in New England, as he
afterwards was for his brother John, the first governor of Con
necticut, after the chartei'4 With Dean Winthrop, Dolor Davis,
and others, he was one of the original grantees of Groton, Ct.,
though neither he, nor Winthrop, nor Davis ever went there to
live. ||

He was made freeman 1665, and removed to Stonington, Ct.,
1666, of which town he was representative 1676 and 1677.
He sometimes wrote his name Bicherson and even Richenson,
or rather it was so written for him.
He was one of the partners in the Atherton Company, * so
called, who in 1659 purchased ofthe Narragansett Indians a tract
of land twelve miles in length on the west side of Narragansett
Bay, in the present town of North Kingston, R. I. It had been
intended to annex that territory to Connecticut; but when the
superior diplomacy of John Clarke had obtained from the king
and council in 1662, not only that strip of land but a tract twen
ty-five miles wide, and extending from the southern border of
Massachusetts to the sea — a territory to which Rhode Island had
no claim, and for which it had never asked — Mr. Richardson
thought it time to remove out of the jurisdiction of that aspiring
colony. He had already settled in Westerly, but now he re
moved across the Pawcatuck River into Stonington, Ct., where
he died, Aug. 5, 1683. His wife, Mary, died a few weeks after.
Antipas Newman, of Wenham, sold him, Oct. 29, 1661, a neck
of land in the " Pequitt Countrey " — the region embracing Nor
wich, Groton, and New London, Ct. — called Caulkins' Neck,
bounded south by the sea. It also bordered on "Quandocke
farm," already owned by Amos Richardson. [Suff. Deeds, iv. 9.]
1671, Nov. 12, Amos Richardson, of Stonington, in the colony
of Connecticut, and Mary, his wife, make a deed of gift to their
daughter, Katherine Anderson, of Charlestown, Mass., of land
and a dwelling house on it, in Boston, also a tract of land in the
Narragansett Country. [Suff. Deeds, xvi. 352.]
1673, Nov. 13. Amos Richardson, of Stonington, Ct., makes a
deed of gift to his daughter Mary, and her husband, Jonathan
Gatliffe, of Boston, mariner, of a house and land in Boston and a
farm of 200 acres in Stonington. This property not to be sold,
but to redeem him from slavery, if he should be taken captive, or
to relieve his family in extreme distress. [Suff. Deeds, viii. 290.]
1679, Sept. 11. Amos Richardson, of Stonington, in the colony
of Connecticut, yeoman, makes a deed of gift to his daughter
Sarah, and her husband, Timothy Clarke, of Boston, mariner, of

son, Richard Smith, junior, William Hudson and Amos Richardson, both of
Boston, and John Ticknor, of Nashaway, now Lancaster. — Palfrey's Hist., ii.,

This was the house and garden occupied by Mr. Richardson in
Boston previously to his removal to Connecticut. It was on
Washington Street, immediately north of the property which, in
1677, Mrs. Mary Norton, widow of Rev. John Norton, bequeathed
to the Old South Church and still remains theirs.

Notes on the above family. It was of great respectability and
worth. Differences, for a quarter of a century, had existed be
tween the Congregational and Presbyterian parties in Newbury.
These differences were laid aside iu 1673, and both parties joined
in the choice of John Richardson to be their pastor. This took
place April 16, 1673. He had an excellent reputation, and had
been a Fellow of Harvard College. He united with the Newbury
Church Dec. 6, 1674, and was ordained pastor, as above, Oct. 20,
1675. His salary was to be one hundred pounds a year; to be
paid, one-half in merchantable barley, the other half in pork,
wheat, butter, or indian corn. He preached the Artillery Elec
tion Sermon, June 10, 1675, and again in June, 1681 ; the latter,
if not the former also, was printed.*
Rev. John Richardson took the oath of allegiance to Charles

Amos Richardson probably had no descendants in the line of
his son Rev. John. He doubtless had many descendants bearing
other names than that of Richardson. Probably his sons Stephen
and Samuel had male descendants, but they have never come to
my knowledge.
Jonathan Richardson, of Stonington, Ct., married Lydia Gil

ford, Ct. Jonathan Richardson died before May 23, 1700, when
Mary, widow of Jonathan Gilbert, made her will. He had heirs,

minors in 1700. He was probably of another family, as was
Sarah Richardson, who became the wife of James Williams, at
Hartford, Ct., Oct. 2, 1691.
Other Richardsons early settled in Connecticut.
It is well known that the first permanent settlement of that
colony was by people from Watertowu, Roxbury, Dorchester, and
Newtown, now called Cambridge, but especially from Watertown.
One of the number from Watertown was doubtless George Rich
ardson, of whom it becomes necessary to give a brief account.
George Richardson, at the age of thirty, embarked at London,
in the ship Susan and Ellen, April, 1635. He must have corne to
Watertown that year, for he had a grant of twenty-five acres in
the First Great Dividend in that town, in 1636* This grant was
in the present town of Lincoln, or else in the south-eastern part
of Concord ; one-half of Lincoln and a sixth part of Concord be
ing at that time included in Watertown. He also bought a
twelve acre lot which had been granted to Elder Richard Brown,
who had settled in Watertown in 1630, and was the first ruling
elder in that church. A farm of 39 acres was also granted to him
by the town in May, 1642. Many similar grants — 92 farms in all
— were made by the town at the same time.
It is mentioned that he had a family of three. It is probable,
if not certain, that he lived on the twelve acre lot, a homestall
which he purchased of Elder Brown soon after his arrival. It
was on or near what is now Mount Auburn Street, and near the
present line of Cambridge. This homestall he sold to John
Train, who, with wife Margaret, came over in the same vessel
with him, then aged 25. This transfer took place about the year
1643, after which we hear no more of George Richardson in
Watertown. A degree of dissatisfaction had existed in Watertown for a
year or two previous to 1635. The people began to hear glowing
accounts of the superior fertility of the Connecticut valley, and
were casting longing eyes in that direction. In September, 1.633,

* The first grants of land made to the settlers in Watertown were small,
varying in extent from une acre to sixteen. These were afterwards known as
the " Small Lots." Elder Brown's lot of twelve acres was for the time a large
lot. In 1636, a division was made of a portion of the land, lying in the north
and north-west part of the original township, bordering on what 'are now Lex
ington and Arlington ; both of these towns were parts of the original Cam
bridge. This land was parted off by straight lines into four divisions, each
division being 160 rods in breadth; they were 120 in number. These divisions
were called "The Great Dividends." They were sub-divided into smaller
portions of from 25 to 80 acres each, and then granted to individuals. [Bond's

Rev. Messrs. Thomas Hooker and Samuel Stone arrived from Es
sex, in Old England, and were immediately settled in Newtown,
now Cambridge. They soon partook of the desire which began
to be felt in that town, Watertown, and Dorchester, for a remov
al to Connecticut. In the summer and autumn of 1635, a party
from Dorchester removed to Windsor, and a small party from
Watertown established themselves at what is now Wethersfield.
On the last day of May, 1636, Mr. Hooker and most of his con
gregation at Newtown began their long and toilsome journey to
Connecticut. They were in number about one hundred, men,
women, and children. They travelled on foot, driving about one
hundred and sixty cattle, and were in part sustained by their
milk. There were no roads or bridges. They were guided by a
compass one hundred miles through a pathless wilderness, infest
ed by wild and ferocious beasts. They were nearly a fortnight
on the way. Mrs. Hooker, the pastor's wife, by reason of illness,,
was conveyed in a litter. Swamps, forests, and swift rivers were
on the way. At length they reached their destination, which, the
following year, they named Hartford, in honor of the birth-place
of Mr. Stone, the colleague of Mr. Hooker.
In 1640, the people of Hartford commenced the settlement of
Farmington, a town immediately joining it on the west, and the
first settlement made in Connecticut which did not bound on
navigable water. From this time to 1673, with the exception o'f
the towns on the Sound, and half a dozen small settlements
made at Norwich, Derby, and three or four other places, Con
necticut was a wilderness, inhabited only by savages.
There is considerable probability that Watertown and Water
bury, towns in Connecticut, derive their origin, at least in part,
from Watertown in Massachusetts. Dr. Henry Bronson, who has
given us an interesting history of Waterbury, states that sundry
of the inhabitants of Farmington, which, as we have seen, was
settled from Hartford, impressed with what they had heard or
seen of the -beautiful intervals on the Naugatuck River, a few
miles west of that place, were, about 1670, strongly disposed to
remove thither. In order to this, it was necessary to obtain
leave from the General Court. Accordingly, in October, 1673,
twenty-six of the inhabitants of Farmington presented a petition
to that body, then sitting at Hartford, stating their desire, and
asking liberty to make that settlement. Liberty was accordingly
granted, and in June, 1674, thirty individuals put their names to
" Articles of Association and Agreement," with a view to a re-

moval to Mattatuck, the place had in view. Among the names
signed to this instrument we find that of Thomas Richaedson.
Some delay arose, occasioned in part by " Philip's War." In
the summer of 1678, a few log-houses were built, in the rudest
style, and the cultivation of the land was begun. The place,
Mattatuck, was in May, 1686, incorporated as the town of Water
bury. Dr. Bronson says that Thomas Richardson " was an early but
not a first settler of Farmington." As he was a young man
when he came to Waterbury — his first child having been born in
1667 — the probability is that he was himself born in Farmington,
and that his father was George Richardson, who came from Eng
land, 1635, and lived in Watertown, Mass., till 1643, and then
left for parts unknown. Nothing is more likely than that he, en
couraged by the success which followed the emigration under
Hooker and Stone, in 1636, bent his steps in the same direction a
few years after, and finding the best lots in Hartford occupied,
settled in Farmington, in 1644. This, at the best, is mere con
jecture, but there is much to encourage and sustain it. Until I
know better, I shall presume the Connecticut Richardsons, at
least those of Waterbury, Middlebury, Woodbury, and the towns
in that vicinity, to be descendants of George Richardson.
John Richardson was at Watertown in 1636, and perhaps in
1635. Not improbably, he was brother of George Richardson, of
whom we have just spoken. Feb. 28, 1636-7, he and " all the
townsmen then inhabiting " had each a grant of one acre in the
Beaver Brook Plowlands, " bounded on the Great Dividend Lots
on the north side and Charles River on the South." This, I be
lieve, was all the land he possessed in Watertown. It forbids
the idea of his remaining there, and so we find him no more in
that place. We find him, or another of the same name, in Exe
ter, in 1642, as a witness to a deed, and probably shall not err if
we set him down as the ancestor of that large and eminently re
spectable family of Richardsons, who, from 1679, spread them
selves out through Medfield, Medway, Wrentham, Franklin, Leo
minster, Barre, and many other towns. His numerous posterity
will find place in this volume subsequently.
We find Edward Richardson in Newbury, at the outlet of
Merrimack River, as early as 1647. It is possible, though not
certain, that he was there some years before.
William Richardson, of Newbury, was probably his brother.
Being younger in years, we first find a notice of him in 1654.
Notices of their descendants will appear later in the volume.

20 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
1644, Sept. 27. George Hawkins, of Boston, shipwright, by vir
tue of a power of attorney from George Richardson, of Wapping,
mariner, bearing date May 1, 1641, sold to William Dodd two
hundred acres of land within the bounds of Salem, near Bass
River, lately in possession of Peter Palfrey, for forty pounds.
Extracted from the records of Salem by Emmanuel Downinge.
[Suff Deeds, i. 74.]
The land here referred to was in Beverly. Peter Palfrey is a
name of note in the early annals of Salem. He was there at the
first settlement ofthe place, with Roger Conant and two or three
others, in 1626. In 1653, he removed to Reading, where he died,
Sept. 15, 1663. Emanuel Downing married Lucy, a sister of
Gov. John Winthrop. He was a member of the Massachusetts
Company, and had a farm in Salem, but I think he did not come
to America. Who "George Richardson of Wapping" was, we
are not informed. If he came to New England he did«not stay
long. There appears to have been some connection with Mr.
Downing. Richard Richardson1 was of Boston, 1649, and probably
some years previous. Feb. 26, 1649, and April 19, 1649, accord
ing to Drake [Hist, of Boston, p. 318, note], the town voted
"that Richard Richardson and seven others of Boston may make
a highway from their houses over the marsh to the bridge and
over Mr. [Valentine] Hill's ground, at their own charge," which
was £8 16s., and to ' be free from highway charges nine years.
Mr. Richardson and the other seven lived near "The Cove,"
sometimes called "The Dock," which was filled up within the
writer's remembrance, perhaps forty-five years ago ; it was where
the Quincy Market now stands. The ground was low and
marshy, hence in the vote just quoted it is called "The Marsh."
The " Mill Creek," also filled up forty to fifty years ago, was near
by; Blackstone Street now occupies the space. The bridge re
ferred to in the vote was over this creek. The writer has passed
over it perhaps thousands of times in his childhood. Mr. Hill
had a house and garden close by the meeting-house — there was
but one meeting-house at that time — and it stood on th'e north side
of what is now State Street, a few rods from Washington Street.
At the same time, 1649, he was one of thirty-seven owners of
Long Island, in Boston Harbor. [Drake's Hist, of Boston, p.
318, note.'] All these facts seem to indicate that he had been an
inhabitant of Boston some years, though his name does not occur
in "The Book of Possessions," compiled 1634.

RICHARDSONS IN AMERICA. 21
His wife was Johanna  . They were probably married be
fore leaving England, that is, not far from 1635.
1672, July 15. Richard Ricbfardson, of Boston, laborer, and
Johanna his wife sell to Richard Wharton seven acres on Long
Island. [Suff. Deeds, viii. 42.]
Richard Wharton was in 1666 a respectable citizen of Boston.
He favored the royal prerogative in 1680 and onward ; took part
with Edward Randolph in his proceedings. After the abrogation
of the charter, in 1684, he was made one of the royal councillors.
The will of Richard Richardson, of Boston, is dated Oct. 18,
1677 ; it was proved Nov. 2, 1677. He must have died in the in
terval. In the will he gives to his son-in-law, Timothy Armitage,
and Johanna my daughter, his wife, all my housing and land in
Boston, during their natural life, and after the decease of said
Johanna to Timothy and Johanna, their children. He gives to
John ffrancklin five pounds; to Benjamin ffrancklin Tenn pounds.
[Suff. Prob., vi. 211.]
The two Franklins mentioned in this will were probably not
relatives — certainly not near relatives — of the great American
statesman. William Franklin was a blacksmith in 1643 ; he was
chosen constable that year; was admitted townsman that year.
In 1645, he was appointed, with Thomas Marshall and two others,
to hire eight men for the garrison at the castle. He lived near
the draw-bridge and mill-creek, of which notice has been taken.
He was a neighbor of Richard Richardson, and the two men of
the name mentioned in the will were doubtless his sons.
Johanna Richardson, the daughter so generously remembered
in the will, was born in Boston, Feb. 25, 1657-8.
But there seems to have been a son, older than Johanna, not
mentioned in the will, for some reason which does not appear.
Richard Richardson2 was of Lynn in June, 1665. I pre
sume him to be the son of the former Richard Richardson, with
out any positive proof of the fact. It may have been otherwise,
but the probability lies in that direction.
He must have been born about 1640. He was married to Amy
Graves, of Lynn, June 20, 1665, and had children as follows :
-fRichard,8 b. about 1667; m. first, Hannah Williams, of Boston, July
8, 1703 ; second, Elizabeth Johnson, of Boston.
+ John,8 b. April, 1670; m. Margaret Woodmansey, of Boston, June,
1699.
-(-Francis,8 b. about 1672; m. Susanna  .
-fThomas,8 b. April 15, 1674.
Ebenezer,8 b. 1676?
Mary,8b, 1678?

22 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
Richard Richardson, of Lynn, died in 1681, and his widow,
Amy Richardson, was appointed administratrix of his estate, 28:
4, 1681 ; that is, July 28, 1681. On the same day, in a court held
in Salem, she made oath to an inventory taken by Robert Rand
and William Bassett, amount £77 8s. 8d., the real estate consist
ing of one house and the land adjoining, valued at £40.
On the same paper is the following, still on file :
" This Court disposeth of this estate as followeth, viz. : To the
eldest son, Richard Richardson, 6lb, and to John and francis and
Thomas and Ebenezer and Mary, to each of them 3lb, to be paid
when they come of age, or at marriage ; and the widow to have
the rest of the estate for her own support and bringing up the
children." Of these children we will now speak in their order.
Richard Richardson,3 the eldest, born about 1667, was the
husband of Elizabeth Johnson. This appears from a deed dated
April 30, 1708, signed by Samuel Johnson, of the county of
Devon, mariner, Edward Johnson, mariner, Jonathan Johnson,
chairmaker, and Richard Richardson, of Lynn, and Elizabeth,
wife of Richard, the only surviving child of Samuel and Phebe
Johnson, of Boston. [Suff. Deeds.]
In a deed dated July 9, 1713, Richard Richardson, of Lynn,
shipwright, and Elizabeth his wife, a relative of Hannah Handley,
sell land in Boston. In a deed dated 1718, Richard Richardson
and wife Elizabeth, of Falmouth, Me., formerly of Lynn, dispose
of land in Lynn.
It appears from the deed last quoted that this man, about the
year 1718, sold his property in Lynn and removed to what is now
the city of Portland, Me., then a part of the town of Falmouth.
The town of Falmouth, as their records show, made him a grant
at a town meeting, May 4, 1720, of nine rods of land NW. by N,
running to the Back Cove. The town also, May 9, 1721, granted
him a lot of land containing thirty acres, which is particularly
described, running easterly on the Fore River, thirty rods to a
birch tree, leaving a highway on the river bank, etc. [Town
Record, also York Co. Deeds, xiii. 91.]
He, of Falmouth, also bought of Isaac Hoar one-half of one
hundred acres of land in Casco Bay, Dec. 14, 1721. [York Co.
Deeds, x. 228.]
But it seems that for some reason Falmouth [or Portland] did
not suit him, and so February, 1723, we find him and his wife
Elizabeth firmly settled in Boston; and so in 1730. [Suff. Deeds:]

RICHARDSONS JN AMERICA. 23
1721, Sept. 27. Richard Richardson, of Falmouth, Co. of York,
shipwright, and Elizabeth his wife sell to Benjamin Ingersol, of
Gloucester, Co. of Essex, house-carpenter, the house, barn, and
lot, where said Richardson now dwells, in Falmouth. [York Co.
Deeds, x. 209.]
John Richardson,3 brother of the preceding, and second son
of Richard and Amy (Graves') Richardson, of Lynn ; born there,
April, 1670 ; married, June 22, 1699, Margaret Woodmansey,
of Boston, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Carr) Woodmansey,
a prosperous merchant in Boston from 1652 till his death in 1684.
The wife of John Woodmansey, whom he married May 1, 1662,
was the daughter of George Carr, of Salisbury. After his death,
the widow Elizabeth became the wife of George Monk, of Bos
ton, who kept a famous tavern in those days. She was again a
widow in 1711.
John Richardson is described as a "mariner"; in all probabili
ty he was a shipmaster. After his marriage, he bought, August
15, 1700, of Jonathan Corwin, of Salem, and Sampson Sheafe,
late of Boston, now of Newcastle, N. H., the front half of the
house which had formerly belonged to John Woodmansey, and
was now — August, 1700 — occupied by the said John Richardson.
This house was situated near the Common or Training Field in
Boston. It had been taken by execution, in 1697, from Wood-
mansey's heirs. This property he found himself obliged to sell,
Oct. 30, 1706, for sixty pounds, current silver money of New
England, to James Bowdoin, of Boston, mariner.
His will is dated Feb. 12, 1708-9; proved April 6, 1709. He
had no real estate to bequeath, but gave to each of his three
children fifty pounds, on their arriving at the age of twenty-one
years, or being married. [Suff. Prob., xvi. 540.]
Children :
John.4
Woodmansey.4Elizabeth.4 . She, a " spinster," in her will, dated June 4, 1744, mentions
her mother, Margaret Claxton.
Their mother married Salmagrave Claxton, Jan. 20, 1714. He
was a stranger in Boston and died before 1721.
Francis Richardson,8 brother of the preceding, and third son
of Richard2 and Amy (Graves) Richardson, of Lynn; born there
about 1672 ; married Susanna  .
He settled in Marblehead. We know next to nothing about

24 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
him. He died intestate, 1727. His widow Susanna and son John
were appointed administrators. [Essex Prob. Records, xvii. 22.]
The inventory is dated Feb. 9, 1727 ; doubtless 1727-8. The
first account of administration was rendered Jan. 2, 1729-30. A
division of the estate was made December, 1733, to the persons
following :
The widow Susanna, who receives one-third. She died previ
ous to March 24, 1755.
Mary, then the wife of William Homan.
Elizabeth, who, it appears, was born in 1712, or about that
time, a guardian, Richard Reith, having been appointed over her
January, 1729-30, when she was eighteen. She is now, 1733, the
wife of John Grandy.
John, the eldest son, now receives two shares.
William. See below.
Anna, wife of Ambrose Haskell.
John, the eldest son, died previous to Feb. 7, 1745, leaving
widow, Margaret, and minor sons, Richard and Thomas.
Thomas, just mentioned, grew to man's estate ; was of Marble
head ; a fisherman ; had a wife, Elizabeth, who after his decease
was appointed administratrix, March 6, 1775.
William Richardson, the other son of Francis Richardson, was
also of Marblehead. He died intestate, and his widow, Mary
Richardson, was appointed administratrix, Dec. 28, 1744. Their
children were Anna and William. [Essex Prob. Records.]
Thomas Richardson,8 brother of the preceding, and fourth
son of Richard2 and Amy (Graves) Richardson, of Lynn; born
there, April 15, 1674 ; married  .
He was a merchant in Boston till about 1712, then removed to
Newport, R. I., where he died, in 1724, aged 50.
He was a Quaker, as the following documents will show :
1709, April 28. William Mumford, of Boston, stone-cutter,
and Ruth, his wife, for 80 pounds, 10 shillings, current money of
New England, convey to Samuel Collins, of Lynn, gunsmith, and
Thomas Richardson, of Boston, merchant, all that piece or par
cel of land lately purchased of Elisha Cooke, Esq., in Boston,
near Governor's Dock, so called, bounded east by Leverett's Lane,
there measuring in front 35 feet ; south by the said Mumford's
part, 146 feet, &o. [Suff. Deeds, xxv. 34.]
Leverett's Lane was so called from 1708 till 1788, when it re
ceived the name of Congress Street. It extended from State to
Water Street. It was often called Quaker Lane, from the
Friends' meeting-house on it.

RICHARDSONS IN AMERICA. 25
1713, June 29. William Mumford, of Boston, and Ruth, his
wife, for fifty pounds, sell to Thomas Richardson, late of Boston,
now of Rhode Island, merchant, and Samuel Collins, of Lynn,
blacksmith, a parcel of land on Leverett Lane, in Boston, near
the Quaker meeting-house. [Suff. Deeds, xxvii. 170.]
Mumford, Collins, and Thomas Richardson were Quakers.
The Quaker meeting-house was of brick, thirty by twenty-five
feet, built in the year 1709, and probably on the land transferred
as above by Mumford to Collins and Richardson. It was burned
in the great fire of 1760, but soon after repaired. It stood till
1825, when it was demolished, having been unoccupied nearly
twenty years. [Drake's Hist, of Boston, p. 505.]
Thomas Richardson continuing to own property in Boston, and
dying in 1724, administration on his estate was granted June 2,
1724. Of Ebenezer, the fifth son of Richard and Amy (Graves)
Richardson, the compiler knows nothing.
Some fragmentary material relating to the early times remains
to be here preserved.
John Marrett and Abigail Richardson were married at Cam
bridge, 20th of 4th month, 1654.
Thomas Richardson arrived in the Speedwell, 1656.
Mary Richardson married William Hamilton in Boston, Aug.
7, 1654.
Martha Richardson died in Charlestown, Nov. 9, 1677.
Paul Richardson, of London, owned land in Boston, 1644.
John Richardson came from England to Nantucket in June,
1701 ; the founder and leader of the Quakers on that island. His
life was published.
Richard Richardson and Hannah Williams were married July
8, 1703.
Richard Richardson and Sarah Balch were married March 3,
1711-12. 1682, Sept. 13. John Richardson, of the city of Bristol, mer
chant, gives to Adam Winthrop, of Boston, in New England,
merchant, a power of attorney to receive money due to him in
Boston. [Suff. Deeds, xv. 57.]
This John Richardson was a son of John and Sarah (Breedon)
Richardson. Sarah Breedon I suppose to be a daughter of Capt.
Thomas Breedon, a resident and trader in Boston, who had from
the town a grant, in 1662, of a place to build a wharf. For some
representations made by him in England, unfavorable to the colo-

26 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
ny, he was put in prison in 1662, and sentenced to pay a fine of
two hundred pounds, which was afterwards remitted. He favored
the king's commissioners when they visited Boston, in 1665.
Sarah Breedon, being left a widow, married Col. Samuel Shrimp-
ton, of Boston, an eminent citizen of that place, who died of
apoplexy, Feb. 9, 1697-8. She had a niece, Elizabeth Richard
son, who, on the solicitation of Col. and Mrs. Shrimpton, came to
this country and married Col. Shrimpton's son Samuel, May 7,
1696; a son probably by a former wife.
Col. Shrimpton, and his widow after him, lived on King Street
 now State Street^on the corner of what is now Exchange
Street, then known as Shrimpton's Lane. Capt. Thomas Savage
occupied the corresponding corner in Dock Square, then called
Savage's Corner.
Colonel Shrimpton, in 1670, bought of Sir Thomas Temple the
whole of Noddle's Island — now East Boston — estimated to con
tain one thousand acres. From him it descended to the Green
ough, Hyslop, and Sumner Families, one of whom, General
William Hyslop Sumner, son of Gov. Increase Sumner, having
purchased the shares of the other heirs in 1831, projected the
settlement of it as a part of the city of Boston.
We now come to another John Richardson, evidently a stran
ger. His will was dated May 7, 1683 ; proved June 27, 1683. "I
give and bequeath unto James Guthrie all that I have in the
world, except twenty shillings to buy Mr. Peter Harris a Ring
and ten shillings to buy John Kyte a Ring." Witnesses, Jona
than Raynsford, John Ramsay. [Suff. Prob., vi. 416.]
William Richardson's will is dated Oct. 16, 1683 ; proved Nov.
20, 1683. " My will is that Mr. Nathan Greene, in whose house I
have for these sixteen months last past boarded, be fully satisfied
and paid for my diet and board, for which I have not yet paid
anything. Also, my will is, that if after my decease what I have
or may have from England or elsewhere be not sufficient to satis
fy and pay Mr. Greene, that then Mr. James Bennet, of South
ampton, England, whom I there left as my attorney to receive
certain rents or debts for me, do discharge what may be due to
Mr. Greene." [Suff. Prob., vi. 449.]
Will of Francis Richardson, of the city of New York, mer
chant, dated July 7, 1688; proved there, July 17, 1688: Wife,
Rebecca, has my four hundred acre lot in the township of Chil-
tenham, in Pensilvania. My three children ffrancis, Rebecca, and
John,  . [Suff. Deeds, x. 421.]

Since 1826, these three brothers have carried on the iron business
together, and very extensively, under the firm of J. Richardson &
Brothers, No. 2 Central Wharf, Boston.
Jeffrey Richardson, born 1743-4, and husband of Hannah
Webb, commenced business for himself in 1766, near Mr. John
Gray's ropewalk, on Atkinson Street, Boston. It was in the im
mediate vicinity of this ropewalk that the severe affray took
place, March 3, 1770, between the ropemakers and a party of
British soldiers.
The affray was, without doubt, witnessed by Mr. Richardson,
who was at work near by. It took place two days before the
fatal and memorable tragedy, so long known as the "Boston
Massacre." For some reasons, greatly exasperated feeling existed
between the British soldiers and the people of Boston, among
whom the ropemakers, principally young men, stood foremost.
A notice of the affray may be seen in Drake's Hist, of Boston,
pp. 777, 778. Let it suffice to say, the soldiers got the worst of
it. Mr. Richardson was himself a ropemaker, and had been an
apprentice to Mr. Gray.
The business of making ropes was introduced into Boston
about 1641. It was extensively carried on and very profitable.
At one time there were fourteen extensive ropewalks in opera
tion. In 1794, the business received a severe check. July 30,
1794, a fire broke out in Mr. Howe's ropewalk, which spread to
the neighboring ropewalks and other buildings and consumed
seven ropewalks at one time. Not only so, it destroyed every
thing included between Federal Street, Milk Street, and the
water. It swept through Atkinson Street, High Street, Pearl
Street, Oliver Street, Purchase Street, laying waste all that came
in its way. Mr. Richardson's ropewalk, dwelling-house, brick
store, everything, was wholly consumed; ninety-six buildings
were destroyed. The loss and damage by the fire was estimated
at $210,000.

The town voted that the ropewalks should not be rebuilt on
their former site, and gave the six owners a piece of marsh land
and flats at the bottom ofthe common, where they were soon after
rebuilt. There they stood at my earliest recollection and many
years after. Mr. Richardson, in 1804, sold his ropewalk to Isaac
P. Davis, who already had a ropewalk on Pleasant Street, near
by- Jeffrey Richardson, born 1789, and husband of Sally Brackett,
commenced business as an iron merchant, Dec. 1, 1811, on the
east corner of Kilby and Central Streets, Boston. He removed,
June 1, 1812, to the corner of India and Milk Streets. In 1815,
after the second war with Great Britain, he became one of fifty
men to build Central, Wharf. This wharf and stores on it being
happily completed in 1817, he had the first choice of a store.* He
chose store No. 2, and with his brother James took possession of
that exceedingly desirable location, continuing the iron business
till the present time. As already mentioned, their younger broth
er, Benjamin P., became a member of the firm in 1826. This
country affords few such examples of stability and permanence.
It is the oldest iron firm in New England. Jeffrey Richardson,
junior, son of the husband of Sally Brackett, furnished the mate
rials for this sketch of that family.
Rev. William Richardson was a Presbyterian clergyman, who,
in the year 1763, resided in the Waxhaw settlement, on the
Catawba River, in the present State of South Carolina. Whether
born in this country, or otherwise, is not known to the compiler.
He married a lady named Davie, the sister of Archibald Davie,
who came from the village of Egremont, near Whitehaven, a sea
port on the Irish Sea, in the county of Cumberland, England.
Mr. Richardson had no children of his own, and therefore adopt
ed his wife's brother's son, named for himself, William Richard
son Davie, who thus became heir to his large estate. He was
born at said Egremont, June 20, 1756.
Young Davie was a regular and successful student at Nassau
Hall College, Princeton, N. J., where he graduated with honor in
the autumn of 1776. Having chosen the profession of law, he
began his legal studies in Salisbury, N. C. But in December,
1777, he left his books for a while to engage in the military ser-

Richardson, being the highest bidder, had the first choice, and chose store No.

vice of his country. Commissioned as lieutenant of dragoons,
he soon rose to the rank of major, and was in Pulaski's legion.
He was in the army of Lincoln, engaged in the defence of
Charleston; was in the battle of Stono Ferry, near that city,
June 20, 1779, where he was badly wounded, and in several other
severe actions. He was hastening to join the army of Gates,
when that army received a total defeat at Camden, Aug. 16, 1780.
While the American forces were mostly driven from the field,
Davie, now a colonel, continued to harass the enemy to the
utmost, and not without success.
The patriot army being in great straits for want of provisions,
Colonel Davie was appointed commissary-general of North Caro
lina, and in that capacity rendered very efficient service, though.
compelled at times to pledge his own credit for the needed sup
plies. At length the war was over, and in 1783 he resumed the prac
tice of his profession. He became eminent for his oratorical tal
ents and successful as an advocate. He was a member of the
convention which met at Philadelphia in May, 1787, to form a
constitution for the United States. In January, 1794, he was
commissioned as major general of the militia of North Carolina.
During the political agitations which arose from the critical state
of our affairs with France, in 1794 and after, he sided with the
administration of Washington and was a decided federalist. In
December, 1798, he was chosen governor of North Carolina. He
continued in this office only till September, 1799, when he re
signed it to be minister to France, along with William Vans
Murray, Oliver Ellsworth, and Patrick Henry. The envoys em
barked Nov. 3, 1799 ; reached Lisbon Nov. 27, and Paris March
2, 1800. After some delay, caused by the unfriendly temper . of
the French government, a treaty was signed Sept. 30, 1800.
The absence of Mr. Davie from the State during those exciting
times was fatal to the ascendancy of the federal party in North
Carolina, and some have not hesitated to say 'that it cost Presi
dent Adams his re-election. He withdrew from politics in 1805,
and died in December, 1820, aged 64.

in 1641.

JFtrst ©feneration. 1.
The principal early emigration from Old to New England took
place in 1630. It had long been contemplated, and ample prepa
ration had been made. It took place in fulfilment of one general
plan, under the auspices of the Massachusetts Company, an or
ganization formed in England in March, 1628, having a royal
patent, granting them all the land between the Atlantic and the
Pacific Oceans, and in width from a line running west three miles
north of Merrimack River to a line running west three miles
south of Charles River.
To take possession of this extensive territory a party of fifty
or sixty persons, under John Endicott, was sent out to Salem the
following June, and another party of two hundred, under Francis
Higginson, the year after. In the year 1630, seventeen ships in
all, but not all together, brought at least one thousand passengers
from England, as estimated by Palfrey in his History of New
England, though commonly reckoned at fifteen hundred. Of
these ships the Lion left Bristol in February, bringing people
from the west of England ; the Mary and John sailed from Ply
mouth March 20th, and arrived May 30th, bringing passengers
from Devonshire, Dorsetshire, and Somersetshire. Four ships,
the Arbella, Jewel, Ambrose, and Talbot, left the Isle of Wight
together, on the 8th of April, having on board Winthrop, Dudley,
Isaac Johnson, his wife the lady Arbella, Increase Nowell, Wil
liam Pynchon, and other principal persons ; seven ships, the May-

flower, Whale, Hopewell, and others, sailed from Southampton
in May, and four others followed not long after.
In one of these ships Ezekiel Riehardson came to New Eng
land ; in which of them cannot now be determined. Nor can we
certainly tell from what part of England he came. But as nearly
all these vessels came from the south of England, there is much
reason to suppose that he came from the south or southeast of
that country. Mr. Felt, in his Eccl. Hist, of New England, i. 137,
says : " The large accession of emigrants who came in the fleet
with Winthrop were chiefly from London and the west of Eng
land." It is known that many came from London and vicinity.
If by the west of England he means Hampshire, Dorset, Devon,
and Somerset, this is doubtless true. Several of the early settlers
of Woburn came from Kent, as, Capt. Edward Johnson, with
whom the Richardsons must have been intimate; Isaac Cole was
from Sandwich in that county ; it is thought that the Kendalls
also came from that county ; the Gardners were from Surrey ;
Locke was from London; John Tidd was from Yarmouth, in the
Isle of Wight; Thomas Graves was from Stepney, near London;
the Pierce family from Norwich, in Norfolk. Why may not the
Richardsons have come from Norfolk, where the name had existed
many years previous? That family also existed in Sussex, Surrey,
and in other southern counties. Henry Baldwin, the husband of
Ezekiel Richardson's eldest daughter, came from Devonshire. In
looking over the early Suffolk Probate Records, I have found
Richardsons who came from the south of England.
Rev. William Hubbard, in his Hist, of N. England, p. 133, says
of the passengers in Winthrop's fleet, 1630: "Some were from
the west of England, but the greater number came from about
London, though Southampton was the rendezvous where they
took ship." Winthrop, in his journal, has a memorandum or list
of persons who had given encouragement that they would accom
pany him to New England. One of these was " Richardson."
By the sixth of July, 1630, eleven of the ships of Winthrop's
fleet had arrived, besides the Lion, Mary and John, which left
England before the Arbella and her consorts ; and we are safe in
saying that by this sixth of July Ezekiel Richardson was in New
England. It I mistake not, this makes him the earliest colonist
of that name in New England. He and his wife Susanna became
members of the church gathered in Charlestown, Aug. 27, 1630,
which afterwards became the First Church in Boston ; and both
were dismissed from it, with thirty-three others, Oct. 14, 1632, to
form the present E'irst Church in Charlestown, which was gath
ered on the second day of November following. He was admit
ted a freeman of the colony, May 18, 1631, which was in
consequence of his church membership.*
* The people who settled Massachusetts and Connecticut were of a much
higher character thau those who settled Virginia and the Southern States.
For proof of this assertion, see " Popham and Gorges," by J. "Wingate Thorn
ton, Felt's Eccl. Hist, of N. England, Palfrey's Hist, of N. England, and the
Histories generally.

POSTERITY OF EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 33
Soon after his arrival in this country, he and his wife took up
their abode in Charlestown, and must have shared in the hard
ships and privations endured by the early settlers. They lived in
a log-house, hastily and rudely constructed, the interstices filled
with mud, and utterly insufficient for their protection against the
rude blasts of winter. All around was a dense forest, or a dreary
waste, infested with wolves and other ferocious animals. They
probably lived in constant fear and alarm. During the first two
years, the colonists suffered greatly from famine. Shell-fish,
clams, lobsters, etc., had to, serve for meat; ground-nuts and
acorns for bread. The relief expected from England did not
come; bread-stuffs were scarce and dear there, and the colonists
had no money to buy with. The salaries of their ministers were
paid in pork, barley, and other articles of food, of which the peo
ple had not sufficient for themselves. The harvest of the year
after their arrival was scanty, by reason of cold and wet weather
through the summer. But these sufferings were patiently borne.
Ezekiel Richardson was a man of great respectability and
worth. His name often- occurs on the Charlestown records. He
was, in 1633, appointed by the General Court a constable, then an
office of much responsibility. In the following years, he was ap
pointed by the town on several important committees. He was
one of the first board of selectmen in Charlestown, chosen Feb.
10, 1634-5 ; also in 1637, 1638, 1639. He was a deputy or rep
resentative of that town in the General Court, chosen Sept. 2,
1634, and also the following year, 1635. In 1637, a lot of land
was granted to him on " Misticke Side," or Maiden ; also to each
of his brothers, of whom more in the sequel.
He was a follower of Ann Hutchinson and John Wheelwright
in the Antinomian Controversy of 1637, as were most of the
members of the Boston church, and was one of the eighty or
more persons who signed the Remonstrance in Mr. Wheelwright's
favor, presented to the General Court on the ninth of March in
that year* At the session of the General Court held in Novem
ber following, he and several others desired that their names
might be erased from that paper, which the Court had judged to
be of seditious tendency. Thus acknowledging his fault, he was
exempted from the censure inflicted by the Court; in other
words, he was not disarmed, as were nearly all of the Remon
strants. It is creditable to his memory that he was willing to
abandon an enterprise in which he had conscientiously, but un
wisely, embarked.
In May, 1640, the town of Charlestown petitioned the General
Court for an enlargement of her territory. The petition was

granted, and addition made to her territory of two miles square,
soon after increased to four miles square. On the 15th of May,
Ezekiel Richardson, Edward Johnson, Edward Convers, and some
others were sent to explore this grant and to determine its
bounds. The original design was. to make a village within the
bounds of Charlestown and dependent on it. But as early as the
5th of November, 1640, the church of Charlestown chose seven
men, Edward Convers, Edward Johnson, Ezekiel Richardson,
John Mousall, Thomas Graves, Samuel Richardson, and Thomas
Richardson, as commissioners or agents, for the erection of a new
church and town, upon the land thus granted, to be entirely dis
tinct and separate from Charlestown. A beginning was made in
the erection of houses — log-houses, doubtless — during the year
1641, at and near the centre of the new town, which at its incor
poration, in September, 1642, received the name of Woburn,
from Woburn in Herefordshire, England, where was an ancient
abbey, founded in 1145, and where was the palatial residence of
the noble family of Russells, dukes of Bedford, long known as
the friends of liberty.*
The church in Woburn was solemnly constituted Aug. 14,
1642, O. S., answering to Aug. 24, N. S. Seven persons were
embodied in a church state, viz.: John Mousall, Edward Convers,
Edward Johnson, William Learned, Ezekiel Richardson, Samuel
Richardson, and Thomas Richardson. These persons stood forth,
one by one, and declared their religious faith and christian expe
rience. These seven men were the " seven pillars," Prov. ix. 1 ;
they were the nucleus of the new church, aud theirs was the re
sponsible duty of deciding what other members should be ad
mitted. It was also their duty to lay out the new town to be
formed in connection with this church, and make all needful
arrangements for this purpose.f The fact that the three Richard
son brothers were appointed on so important a service is conclu
sive proof of their general excellence of character and of the
confidence reposed in their wisdom and integrity.
The first settlers of Woburn, 1642, could not have exceeded
thirty heads of families. Thirty-two men subscribed the " Town
Orders," agreed on by the commissioners at their first meeting, in
Charlestown, for the settlement of Woburn, Dec. 18, 1640 ; but
several more became inhabitants of the new town.
Ezekiel Richardson and his two brothers*, after their removal
to Woburn, lived near each other, on the same street, which, from
its having been their residence and that of many of their posteri-

ty, has been known from time immemorial as " Richardson's
Row." It was in the present town of Winchester, a little north
and east of the village ; the " Row " now constituting a part of
Washington Street. He himself lived half a mile north of the
present village of Winchester ; a locality, until April 30. 1850,
included in the town of Woburn. The descendants of these
three brothers, bearing the name of Richardson, long have been
and still are more numerous than persons of any other name in
Woburn, and among them have been found some of the most
useful and valued members of the church and citizens of the
place. [Statement of Rev. Samuel Sewall, of Burlington, in his
History of Woburn, p. 71.]
At the first election of town officers in Woburn, April 13, 1644,
Ezekiel Richardson was chosen a selectman, and continued to be
chosen to that responsible office in 1645, 1646, and 1647. Ed
ward Convers,* John Mousall— these were deacons of the church
till their death — and Ezekiel Richardson were appointed " to end
small causes under twenty shillings," at Woburn ; t and so con
tinued- till death.
Edward Convers, Ezekiel Richardson, Capt. Cooke, and Ed
ward Goffe, with Mr. Stileman, were appointed a committee to
lay out a road from Cambridge to Woburn.
Ezekiel Richardson, one of the founders of Woburn, died in
that town Oct. 21, 1647. From the fact that all his children
were at this time under the age of twenty-one, it is inferred that
his age at his decease did not exceed forty-five.
His will is dated 20th day of the fifth month, 1647 ; equivalent
to July 20, 1647. It was proved June 1, 1648, and is on file in
the Suffolk Probate Office, Boston. A copy now follows:
I Ezekiel Richardson of Woebourne, being in perfect memorie, doe
make this my last will and testament as followeth, imprimis. I make my
wife Susanna and my eldest son Theophilus joint Executors, item. I
give and bequeath to Josias my son thirtie pounds, to be paid in money,
cattell, or corne, when he shall accomplish one and twentie years of age.
Item. I give unto James my son thirtie pounds to be paid in money, cat
tell, or corne, when he shall accomplish one and twentie years of age.
Item. I give unto Phebe my daughter thirtie pounds to be paid in money,
cattell, or corne, when she shall accomplish twentie years of age, or within
six months after the day of her marriage, which cometh first. I say all
these several legacies to be paide in money cattell or corne at the discre
tion of the Executors and overseers.
In case any of these three die before they doe accomplish the said age
mention11 then the said legacie shall be equally divided to them which
shall survive. In case my son Theophilus die before he shall accomplish
one and twentie years of age then his portion shall be equally divided to
my other children which shall survive.
* Edward Convers came in the fleet with Winthrop, 1630; settled in Charles
town; was selectman of Charlestown from 1635 to 1640; was one of the found
ers of Woburn; lived near the mill over the Aberjona River, once called by his
name, in the present town of Winchester; died Aug. 10, 1663. Grandfather of
Major James Convers.
t The statements made in this paragraph and in the next were derived from
the Records of Massachusetts, as printed by order of the General Court a few
years since, vol. ii. pp. 35, 36. Cooke, Goffe, and Stileman were probably of
Cambridge.

ancestors had a hard time of it.
After the death of Ezekiel Richardson, his widow Susanna
married Henry Brooks, of Woburn, as we learn from sundry con
veyances of land. For instance : Susanna Richardson (now
Brooks), widow of Ezekiel Richardson, quitclaimed, March 23,
1655, thirty-five acres of land in Charlestown to Thomas Moulton
and John Greenland. [Midd. Deeds, ii. 36.]
Again: March 27, 1657. Samuel Richardson, brother of Eze
kiel Richardson, now deceased, quitclaims forty acres of land in
Woburn, on the side towards Reading, to my sister Susanna
Richardson, now Brooks, during her lifetime, and then to my
cousin [nephew] Theophilus Richardson. This land is described
as bounded south by land of Samuel Richardson (himself), north
by land of our brother Thomas Richardson, west by a running
brook,* east by the common, i. e. by the common unappropriated
land. [Midd. Deeds, ii. 72.]
And again: Dec. 13, 16.59. "We, Henry Brooks and Susanna
Brooks, resign one-half of Ezekiel Richardson's house and lands."
[Midd. Deeds, ii. 154.]
This Henry Brooks was formerly of Concord, and while a resi
dent there was made freeman, March 14, 1639. He is noticed in
the Town Records of Woburn as an inhabitant, and a proprietor
of land there, near Horn Pond, Jan. 10, 1652. He was one of
the selectmen of Woburn, 1669. His wife Susanna died Sept. 15,
1681. He died April 12, 1683. He had children by a former
wife, John, Timothy, Isaac, and Sarah.

28. Bridget,3 b. 1674; m. Nov. 21, 1695, Stephen Richardson,3 b. Feb.
7, 1673-4, son of Joseph,2 son of Samuel Richaedson,1 one of
the founders of Woburn. For notices of her children and de
scendants, see Posterity of Samuel Richardson.

Captain Josiah Richaedson,2 brother of the preceding, and
second son of Ezekiel Richardson,1 one of the founders of Wo
burn ; baptized in Charlestown, Nov. 7, 1635; married at Con
cord, by Capt. Simon Willard of that place, June 6, 1659, to Re-
membeance Undebwood, born at Concord, Feb. 25, 1639-40,
daughter of William and Sarah Underwood of that place.
He and his brother James Richardson2 went to reside in
Chelmsford as early as 1659, which, as just noted, was the year of
his marriage. William Underwood, his wife's father, went in
1654, at the very beginning of that plantation.*

*The origin of Chelmsford may be traced to a petition presented to the Gen
eral Court of the colony in 1652, signed by about twenty persons— ten of them
citizens of Concord, and as many more from Woburn — for liberty to examine,
with a view to settlement, a tract of land lying on the west side of Concord
River. The request being granted, and the petitioners being joined by about
as many others, making thirty-nine in all, desirous of erecting a new' planta
tion, they proceeded, the following year, to ask of the legislature a grant of
land, bordering' upon the Merrimack River, near to Pawtucket Falls, where
is now the city of Lowell. They requested that the said tract of land might
begin, on the Merrimack, at a neck of land next to Concord River [in the
present territory of Lowell] and run up by said river south and west into the
country, so as to make up six miles square. This would include the whole of
Chelmsford and Lowell and part of Westford.
About the same time, the Bev. John Eliot, as agent and trustee for the In
dians under his spiritual care, asked the General Court for a grant near the
Pawtucket and Wamesit FaUs, for the exclusive use of the Indians iu that
neighborhood. The Court granted both petitions, and ordered both an Indian and an Eng
lish plantation to be laid out. It was made a condition in the latter case, that
within two years from the date of the act-JMay 18, 1653— at least twenty fam
ilies should settle upon the tract so granted, so as to' be in a condition to enjoy
the institutions of religion. Capt. Simon Willard, of Concord, and Capt. Ed
ward Johnson, of Woburn, were appointed to lay out the plantation or town
ship. This was done in June following.
Within eighteen months, the condition aforesaid was satisfied, and a meet
ing was held at which provision was made for the support of Rev. John Fiske,
the excellent minister of Wenham, who had agreed to become their minister.
Mr. Jiske came to New England in 1637;- was a teacher of youth in Salem
about three years, and at the gathering of a church in Wenham, 1644, was or
dained its pastor. In 1655, he, with a majority of that church, removed to
Chelmsford, and continued in the pastoral office there, highly esteemed, till
his death, Jan. 14, 1677, aged 76.
Some enlargement of the tract was soon found necessary, and the bounds of
Chelmsford w;ere eventually extended so as to include the Indian plantation
already mentioned, and likewise all Westford, part of Carlisle, and Dracut on
the north side of the Merrimack.
m,The Indians in and near Chelmsford were peaceable neighbors to the whites.'
They were however, few m number. At their plantation in Wamesit there
were, in 1674, only about seventy-five souls. This small number soon wasted
away. Ihey had little energy or foresight; they did not love to work ; they
lived mostly by hunting and fishing, and they were disposed to sell their lands
to their white neighbors at a low rate. They therefore sold to individuals as
they had opportunity, until they had but a moderate quantity left, which was
known as the Wamesit Pasture.
This small remainder, bounded east by Concord River, as far down as its

POSTERITY OF EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 41
In Chelmsford— incorporated May 29, 1655— Josiah Richard
son, though still a young man, soon rose into consideration, and
by his capacity for business was clothed with important trusts.
He was chosen fence-viewer in 1659 ; was one of a committee, in
1662-3, to unite with a committee from Groton, whose territory
then joined that of Chelmsford, to lay out a. highway between
the two towns. He was admitted freeman of the colony March
11, 1673-4; was chosen constable in 1667; was one of the board
of selectmen in 1668, 1673, 1677, 1679, 1680, and every successive
year after till 1688, inclusive, and again in 1694, making fourteen
years in all. He was town clerk, 1690 to 1694, four years. He
wastill his death a leading man in town. He was also captain of
a military company, at a time when military companies were al
ways liable to active and bloody work.
He, with Major Thomas Henchman and William Fletcher,
erected, in 1669, the second saw-mill built in the town* It was
in the north-west part of Chelmsford ; I suppose on Stony Brook.
For encouragement in building the mill, a tract of land was
granted them. The owners of the mill had full liberty to take
from the " common," unappropriated land, what timber they saw
fit to work in the mill. The people had lived in log-houses long
enough. Some Indians, "from the love they bore to " Josiah Richardson,
of Chelmsford, conveyed to him, Jan. 19, 1688-9, a parcel of land
at the confluence of the Concord and Merrimack Rivers — where
mouth, north by Merrimack River, south and west by Chelmsford, was sold
by the Indians, Sept 6, 1686, to Jonathan Tynjj, of Dunstable, and Thomas
Henchman, of Chelmsford. This purchase also included five hundred acres of
" wilderness land," on the north side of Merrimack River, bounded south by
Pawtucket Falls, and by Beaver Brook eastward. This included a large part
of Dracut. In this deed, an exact copy of which is now before me, the Indians
reserved to themselves the liberty of fishing, and of cutting timber and fire
wood, so far as their necessities might require.
In December following, Colonel T£ng and Major Henchman conveyed the
land thus purchased to forty-four persons, citizens of Chelmsford, but reserv
ing each of them a share to himself. These names are all contained in the in
strument now before me. Among them I find the names of Josiah Richardson,
father and son, and of James Richardson the younger, whose father had been
killed by Indians nine years before. The names are there, also, of William
Underwood, of William and Samuel Fletcher, of John Bates, of Peter Far-
well and Joseph Farwell, and of the three Butterfields, Nathaniel, Joseph,
and Samuel. It will be seen, as we proceed, that there were matrimonial con
nections between these and the Richardsons. The two Fletchers were sons of
Ensign William Fletcher, born in England, 1622, w,ho came to this country
with his father Robert about 1634; was admitted freeman May 10, 1613, when
only twenty-one years old ; dwelt in Concord till 1()53, when he was one of the
founders of Chelmsford, of which town he was one of the first board of select
men, 1654, and died there, Nov. 6, 1677. His land included what is now the
city of Lowell. The three Butterfields were sons of Benjamin Butteriield,
who was also among the founders of Chelmsford.
Thomas and Samuel Adams, sons of Henry Adams, of Braintree, were also
founders of Chelmsford in 1654. They built mills on the site of the present
city of Lowell. Samuel Adams was an ancestor of the Hon. William Adams
Richardson, late Secretary of the D. S. Treasury.
Col. Jonathan Tyng, the founder of Dunstable, Nashua, Tyngsborough, etc.,
died in Woburn, Jan. 19, 1723-4, aged 81. [Gravestone.]
* Thomas Henchman came from Wenham to Chelmsford. The first saw-mill
was built by Thomas and Samuel Adams, not long after 1654. [Hist, of
Chelmsford, by Rev. Wilkes Allen, minister there from 1803 to 1832.]

Lieut. James Richaedson,2 brother of the preceding, and
youngest son of Ezekiel J and Susanna Richardson; baptized in
Charlestown, July 11, 1641; married in Chelmsford, by Capt.
Marshall, Nov. 28, 1660, to Beidget Henchman, daughter of
Major Thomas Henchman, already repeatedly referred to as one
of the founders of Chelmsford.
He lived in Chelmsford, and had the care of the Wamesit In
dians there, who lived two miles from the principal English set
tlement. In Philip's war, 1675, he performed good service.
These Indians were Christians, at least by profession, and stood
neutral in that war. Some hostile Indians, from a distance, to
excite suspicion against the Wamesits, came and burned a hay
stack of Mr. Richardson's, Oct. 18, 1675. A month later, a barn
full of hay and corn was burned. Some of the Chelmsford peo
ple, infuriated at this, drove those poor Indians away. They
turned their steps toward Canada, but suffering greatly for want
of food most of them soon returned to their wigwams.*
Mr. Richardson was in that terrible encounter with the Indians,
July 31, 1675.f Perhaps he was in the reinforcement under Mar
jor Simon Willard. An attack was made on Chelmsford and
houses burned either in April, 1676, or not long before. Ando
ver, Sudbury, and Marlborough also experienced hostile visits
from the savage Indians.
It was probably these hostile attacks which led the governor
and council, in April, 1676, to order a fort built at Pawtucket
Falls, now Lowell, and to place the same under the command of
Lieut. James Richardson. In May, an additional force was sta
tioned in the fort, commanded by his wife's brother, Capt. Thomas

Henchman. In June following, Capt. Henchman led a force
against the Indians at Brookfield.*
There being an alarm in consequence of the reported appear
ance of a party of Mohawks, a company of scouts, under the
command of Lieut. James Richardson, traversed the whole valley
of the Merriinack during the spring and early summer of 1677.
In the spring of 1677, the Indians were committing great rav
ages in Maine, and great anxiety and alarm was felt for the safety
of the distant settlements in that region. Wells was attacked by
the savages in April, although there was a garrison there, and the
attack was several times repeated. The government of Massa
chusetts sent a force of forty soldiers and two hundred friendly
Indians, from Natick and vicinity, under the command of Capt.
Benjamin Swett, of Hampton — then supposed to be in Massachu
setts — and Lieut. James Richardson, to check those incursions.
These forces were embarked at Boston in vessels which were to
ascend the Kennebec River, and the men after landing were to
proceed to Taconic Falls — now Waterville — and there take and
destroy six Indian forts, said to be well supplied with ammuni
tion. On the way, the vessels anchored off Black Point," in Scar
borough, where Capt. Swett, June 28th, landed a party of men
to try the valor of his company with some Indians that had been
seen there. They were there joined by some of the inhabitants,
so as to make ninety in all. The next day they fell into an am
buscade, and found themselves surrounded by great numbers of
Indians, two miles from the fort, and in the midst of a swamp.
The soldiers, many of whom were young and undisciplined, did
not well abide the sudden onset. Lieut. Richardson was killed
soon after the fray began. Many on both sides shared the same
fate. Capt. Swett, after fighting bravely and receiving nearly
twenty wounds, was thrown down and his body cut to pieces by
those fiends in human shape. About forty of the English and
twenty of the Christian Indians fell, being two-thirds of the
whole number engaged in the fight.f
James Richardson thus dying intestate, his wife's brother, Capt.
Thomas Henchman, was appointed administrator. An inventory
of his estate was taken Sept. 19, 1677. [See Midd. Prob. Rec,
v. 41.] The house and land were valued at £160. Personal es
tate, £78. 15. 2. Total, £238. 15. 2.
The widow Bridget married, Oct. 8, 1679, William Chandler, of
Andover. Preliminary to the new connection, another inventory
was made out, Sept. 6, 1679, in which the following deduction
was made : " Spent on the family from the first appraisement to
the second, £57. 7. 1."
The children of James and Bridget Richardson were :

Timothy Baldwin lived in Woburn till after 1692, when his
youngest child was born. He was taxed in Stoneham, 1726-7,
and had probably lived there some years previously. As Stone-r
ham was not incorporated till December, 1725, the name of Tim

Lieut. Josiah Richaedson3 (Josiah? Ezekiel1), brother of
the preceding, and eldest son of Capt. Josiah2 and Remembrance
Richardson; born in Chelmsford, May 18, 1665; married, Dec.
14, 1687, Mercy Parish* of Dunstable, a daughter of Robert
and Elizabeth (Blanchard) Parish, of Groton.
He lived in Chelmsford, near Concord River; was a lieutenant
and farmer. He was town clerk 1693 and 1694 ; selectman, etc.
He died intestate, Oct. 17, 1711, aged 45. His son Josiah was
appointed administrator Nov. 21, 1711. His inventory, dated
1712, amounted to £514. 4. This was reckoned in a depreciated
currency; large emissions of "Bills of Credit" having been is
sued by the province in 1690, in 1702, 1709, and 1711. Fresh
emissions were made afterwards in 1714, 1716, 1721, and 1724.
This fictitious currency soon fell to less than one-half -of its nomi
nal value. ,
The widow, Mercy Richardson, died April 25, 1743.
The children of Josiah and Mercy Richardson were:
+103. Mercy,1 b. Jan. 9, 1688-9; m. Ephraim Hildreth.
+104. Josiah,4 b. May 5, 1691; m. first, Lydia  ; second, Elizabeth
French.

settlement of the estate.

Capt. Jonathan Richaedson3 (Josiah? Ezekiel1), brother of
the preceding; born in Chelmsford, Oct. 8, 1667; married, Nov.
8, 1692, Elizabeth Bates, born there, Dec. 22, 1671, daughter of
John and Mary Bates, early settlers in Chelmsford. John Bates
was one of the purchasers of the " Wamesit Pasture."
Jonathan Richardson passed his life in Chelmsford. He died
Feb. 21, 1753, leaving a widow Elizabeth, an only son Jonathan,
and seven married daughters, four of whom married Coiburns.
His will is dated Sept. 12, 1750 ; proved April 9, 1753.
He had for those days a comfortable property ; it was appraised
at £744. 17. This appraisment was made in "lawful money,"
resting on a specie basis ; the silver wherewith to redeem the
"Bills of Credit" having been received from England in Septem
ber, 1749. It came from the royal treasury to refund the charges
incurred by the province of Massachusetts by the capture of
Louisburg in 1745. The old depreciated currency was not al-
' lowed to circulate after March, 1750.
Rev. Thomas Parker, of Dracut, a son-in-law, was the executor.
* Her name on the County Records is sometimes given as Mary Parris, which
is manifestly incorrect. On the Town Records it is also given as Parris, Our
ancestors said Parris instead of Parish, and Coburn instead of Colburn, and
often in similar cases.

POSTERITY OE EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 49
The will mentions a grandson, William Adams, a granddaughter,
Thankful Butterfield, who has children Benjamin and Thankful.
This Thankful Butterfield was the wife of Benjamin Butterfield,
and daughter of Elizabeth, the testator's daughter.
The children of Capt. Jonathan Richardson were :
109. Jonathan,4 b. Dec. 28, 1693 ; m. widow Elizabeth Howard, of
Newton, May 18, 1724. They probably removed from Chelms
ford, as I find no record of any children there. This may be
the reason why he was not executor of his father's will. He
appears to have died in Pelham in 1753.
+110. Elizabeth,4 b. Oct. 19, 1696 ; m. Edward Colburn.
+111. Mary,4 b. June 26, 1699; m. Samuel Colburn.

He was a farmer and lived in Chelmsford, doubtless on a por

inventory, dated June 10, 1754, calls Eleazar the only son.

Susanna Richardson3 (Josiah? Ezekiel1), sister ofthe pre
ceding, and youngest child of Capt. Josiah 2 and Remembrance
Richardson; born in Chelmsford, probably 1676, although ac
counts vary; married, Jan. 23, 1695-6, Henry Farwell, born
Dec. 18, 1674, son of Joseph and Hannah Farwell, of Chelmsford.
She was his second wife. His first wife, Olive, died March 1,
1691-2. Their children, born in Chelmsford, were :

Thomas Richardson3 (James? Ezekiel 1), eldest son of Lieut.
James2 and Bridget (Henchman) Richardson, of Chelmsford;
born there, Oct. 26, 1661 ; married, Sept. 28, 1682, Hannah Col
burn, daughter of Edward Colburn, of Dracut.
As the eldest son, he received a double portion of the landed
estate of his father, James Richardson, about 1680, or perhaps on
his marriage.
He was a soldier in the company of Capt. Samuel Gallup, of
Boston, in the unfortunate land expedition against Cannda, in
1690, by way of Albany; unless we suppose it was another
Thomas, of Billerica, his father's cousin, which is not at all likely.
This expedition was undertaken in conjunction with troops from
Connecticut and New York, but failed through disagreement
among the leaders.
He was a farmer and lived in Dracut, which was once a part of
Chelmsford, and incorporated as a separate town Feb. 26, 1701.
He died Feb. 10, 1700.
His children, born in Dracut, when it was part of Chelmsford,
were :
+133. James,4 b. about 1686; m. Mary  .
+134. Ezekiel,4 b. about 1690; m. Mary  .
135. Joseph,4 b. April 17, 1694; bought land in Dracut 1712.
+136. Benjamin,4 b. March 30, 1696 ; m. Eunice  .

Ezekiel Richardson8 (James? Ezekiel1), brother of the pre
ceding; born in Chelmsford, Sept. 3, 1667; married Mary Bun
ker, daughter of Jonathan Bunker, probably of Charlestown.
He was an "husbandman," and dwelt in Charlestown — that is,
in Stoneham, then a part of Charlestown — and Chelmsford.
April 1, 1691. Ezekiel Richardson, of Chelmsford, and Mary,
his wife, sell to James Lowden, of Charlestown, four small wood
lots in Charlestown, on the north side of Mystic River. [Midd.

POSTERITY OF EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 51
Deeds, xii. 9.] These wood lots must have been in what is now
Stoneham. He probably lived in Stoneham from the time of his marriage
till 1690 or 1691 ; after this in Chelmsford.
He died before completing his thirtieth year, and intestate, as
we learn from the inventory, Nov. 27, 1696. As to the manner
of his death, the following extract informs us.
Extract from the Court Records: "At Charlestown, 26 Jan'y,
1696-7, Edward Spalding [was] presented for that upon the 25th
of November, 1696, at Chelmsford, near the house of Cornet
Hills, innholder, he struck Ezekiel Richardson, of Chelmsford,
with his fist, who instantly fell to the ground, and afterwards lan
guished until the 27th of November, and then died."
Administration upon his estate was given, Jan. 11, 1697-8, to
the widow Mary, with James Lowden and Ebenezer Austin, both
of Charlestown, as sureties. [Midd. Prob. Rec, ix. 257, 258.]
The inventory is dated Dec. 22, 1697 ; amount, £284. 18. 2.,
reckoned in, a depreciated currency. It appears from this inven
tory that he owned land in Charlestown, by which is doubtless
meant Stoneham, valued at sixty pounds; also land at "Not-
imos," or Menotomy, now a part of Arlington, and in two or three
other places. His residence, and the birth-place of his two older
children, must have been Stoneham, then known as " Charlestown
End." Mary, widow of this Ezekiel Richardson, took for her second
husband, Feb. 2, 1697-8, Moses Barron, of Chelmsford, born Oct.
28, 1669, son of Moses and Mary Barron, of that town. They
had a son Jonathan (Barron), born June 28, 1698 — a little too
soon — and a son Isaac (Barron), who died Sept. 16, 1739. Moses
Barron died April 16, 1719.
The children of Ezekiel and Mary (Bunker) Richardson were :
137. Mary,4 b. in Stoneham, Jan. 16, 1688; d. Jan. 23, 1688.
138. Thomas,4 b. in Stoneham, 1690; d. May 6, 1698.
139. Elizabeth,4 b. November, 1692; seems to have m. Joseph Butter
field, 1741.

Theophilus Richardson4 (Ezekiel? Theophilus? Ezekiel1),
son of Ezekiel 8 and Elizabeth (Swan) Richardson, of Woburn ;
born there, Jan. 7, 1691-2 ; married, in Watertown, April 24,
1711, Ruth Swan, daughter of Gershom Swan, probably a rela
tive of his mother's.
He lived in Woburn, or perhaps latterly in Stoneham, and died
in the autumn of 1723, in his thirty-second year, as is apparent
from the inventory. The Probate Record says that "he died at
Charlestown — i. e., in Stoneham, then a part of Charlestown —
' Charlestown End ' — on his return from his majesty's service at
the eastward." The explanation is, the Indians in Maine, insti
gated by Sebastian Rasles, the French and Jesuit missionary at
Norridgewock, who was in close correspondence with the gover
nor of Canada, had since the year 1722 been committing great
ravages on the English settlements. They had captured nine
families at Merry Meeting Bay in June, 1722 ; had burned Bruns
wick, and had taken sixteen Massachusetts vessels at Canseau.
In the spring of 1723, they ravaged Falmouth, Scarborough,
Berwick, Wells, York, and Dover. The government of Massa
chusetts had sent a force against these savages. Theophilus Rich
ardson was one of the men sent, and died soon after his return.
This war lasted till December, 1725, and included the famous
" Pigwacket Fight," in May, 1725.
The inventory is dated Dec. 12, 1723. It includes only person
al estate, and amounts but to £13. 19. This shows that the fami
ly had become poor. The widow makes oath that this is " all she
knows of estate," and she has to "support herself and five small
children, all sick at hofne of the feaver." Of the three sons
named below, Deacon Nathan Richardson • [75], their father's
cousin, was appointed guardian Nov. 30, 1733, and held a small
amount of property in trust for them.
Col. Edmund Goffe, of Cambridge, was appointed administra
tor March 23, 1724-5.
Ruth, the widow of Theophilus Richardson, was married, April
6, 1726, to Ebenezer Parker, of Stoneham.

son ; born in Woburn, April 22, 1694 ; married, at Watertown,
Aug. 8, 1717, Lydia Ockington, of Needham. She was proba
bly a daughter or sister of Thomas Ockington, of Watertown.
He lived in Woburn two or three years after marriage, and
then removed to Needham — taken from Declham, 1711 — where he
seems to have passed the remainder of his life. He was there
certainly in 1722, when his second child was born.
1723, May 17. Benjamin Colburn, of Dedham, husbandman,
and Rebekah his wife, for eight pounds, sell to Ezekiel Richard
son, of Needham, two parcels of land in Needham, containing
five and two acres. [Suff. Deeds, xliv. 113.]
1736-7, Feb. 25. Hezekiah Fuller, of Dedham, yeoman, and
Elizabeth his wife, for £110, sell to Ezekiel Richardson, of Need
ham, land in Needham. [Suff. Deeds, lxi. 238.]
1747-8, Feb. 2. John Fisher, Esq., of Needham, and Elizabeth
his wife, for £850, old tenor, sell to Ezekiel Richardson, of Need
ham, tanner, twenty acres of land in Needham. [Suff. Deeds,
lxxiv. 200.]
All these purchases were in a depreciated currency. In 1749,
forty-five shillings " old tenor " were given for one Spanish milled
dollar. In two years more it was worth nothing.
The children of Ezekiel 4 and Lydia Richardson were :

Notice the fearful ravages of death among these children,
sweeping off the entire family of children living in the summer
of 1738, four in number, in a single month. It was undoubtedly
caused by the throat-ail, so fatal in New England in that gloomy
year, 1738, and still remembered and spoken of when the com
piler was young.* 71.

He was a " husbandman," and passed his entire life in Woburn.
He died there, Nov. 15, 1745. His will is dated Nov. 7, 1745 ;
proved March 17, 1745-6 ; recorded Midd. Prob. Rec, xxiv. 132.
His wife survived him. In his will, he makes his brother
[Dea.] Nathan Richardson and his brother John Atwood, both of

* The disease originated in the manner now to be described. In May, 1735,
a Mr. Clough, of Kingston, N. H., having examined the' throat of a swine
which had died of a throat disease, was himself suddenly attacked with a
swelling of the throat, and lived but a few days. Three weeks after, three
children in his neighborhood were attacked in a similar manner, and died in
thirty-six hours. From this, the disease spread rapidly and proved fearfully
fatal, particularly to children. It extended in all directions, passing through
New England and into New York, lt was two years in reaching the Hudson
River. Between June, 1735, and July, 1736, nine hundred and eighty-four
died in fourteen towns of New Hampshire. In this town, Haverhill, Mass., it
appeared in October, 1736, and swept off more than one-half of all the children
under fifteen years of age. Almost every house became a habitation of mourn
ing. In many families not a child was left. One hundred and ninety-nine
fell victims to this terrible scourge in this town, only one of whom was forty
years of age. [Chase's History of Haverhill, pp. 306, 307.]

the town's "loan money," that is, money received from the sale of
two thousand acres of land in Lunenburg, granted to the town
by the General Court in 1644,* but not located till 1717.
Through neglect and mismanagement, this liberal grant of
land proved of no advantage to the town for about seventy years.
It served only as an occasion for altercation and strife, especially
at the town-meetings. It lay in a wild, uncultivated state, and
after 1728, when the town of Lunenburg was incorporated, Wo
burn had to pay taxes for it to Lunenburg. At length, in Febru
ary, 1734, the tract was sold to Israel Reed, of Woburn, for
£3,300. The money was not paid down, but was supposed to be
sufficiently secured. Small portions were invested, and small
portions were paid from time to time. It passed into 'the hands
of different and successive committees during forty years or more,
and at length proved nearly or quite worthless. The deprecia
tion of the " old tenor," the fictitious currency of Massachusetts,
was the principal cause, sixty shillings of which in 1750 were
worth only one ounce of silver. But from beginning to end, or
nearly so, the management of the fund was extremely bad, not so
much from any want of integrity in the committee, as from their
lack of financial ability, and the failure of many to whom the
money was loaned from time to time to meet their engagements.

French, of Dunstable; published April 1, 1738. She died Dec.
15, 1771.
He was an active, capable, business man. His name often oc
curs on the Dracut records. He began to live in that town about
1710, when in his twentieth year. His name is placed against lot
No. 10, as taken by him, under date of Jan. 2, 1710, probably
1710-11. At a general town-meeting, held Oct. 27, 1712, leave
was granted to him to be a settled inhabitant in the town of Dra
cut, on the lot which his father — who died Oct. 17, 1711 — took
up with the consent of the committee of the General Court.
This lot, No. 10, was thus bounded : It had Merrimack River on
the south ; the " Solomon lot " on the west ; on the north and
east it had marked trees. It was one of the fifteen lots that lay
between Mr. Belcher's farm and Mr. Winthrop's farm, and near
Walker's Brook, and was " the thirtieth part of the undivided
land required in the township of Dracut." This description
shows how sparsely settled Dracut was at that time.
Part of this lot he sold in 1712 to Joseph Richardson, his sec
ond cousin, son of Thomas Richardson [135].

*The mother's name was sometimes written Parris.

March, 1714, he was chosen surveyor of highways. March,
1715, chosen fence-viewer. In 1720, one of a committee of three
to receive " the money" (what money?) for the town of Dracut.
In 1728, he was one of the board of selectmen, and again in
1731. In 1749, selectman, assessor, and town clerk; also in 1755
and 1756. In 1752, town treasurer; again in 1753 and 1754.
In 1749, he is, on the records, I believe for the first time, called
"Captain Josiah Richardson."
In October, 1749, the town had recently built a meeting-house,
and it was voted that the man paying the highest tax on real and
personal estate in town should have the first choice of a pew ; the
man paying the next highest tax the second choice, and so on.
Capt. Josiah Richardson had the second choice. The pews were
not to be re-sold without consent of the town.
His will is dated Aug. 17, 1773 ; proved Dec. 31, 1776. In the
will he calls himself "gentleman," and gives his daughter Han
nah Hildreth fifty pounds lawful money, in full of her portion.
He then gives to his granddaughter, Sarah« Richardson, daughter
of his son Josiah Richardson, late of Dracut, deceased, twenty
pounds lawful money. Then to his son Ephraim Richardson,
£36. 13. 4., lawful money, this being the amount of a note signed
by the said Ephraim in favor of the testator ; this to be in full of
said Ephraim's portion of the estate. To his son Moses, a deed
of land and money. Next, to the children of his son David, late
of Dracut, deceased, land and money. Next, to his late son Jon
athan, late of Dracut, deceased, land and money. Next, to the
children of his second daughter, Lydia Cummings, late of Ips
wich, deceased, he gives six pounds a piece. Next, to his daugh
ter Mercy Colburn, late of Dracut, deceased, to her children, land
and money.
The remainder of the estate, after the payment of the testator's
just debts and funeral charges, he gives in equal shares to his two
executors, Uriah Colburn and Obadiah Richardson. Uriah Col
burn [402] was his grandson, son of his daughter Hannah. Oba
diah Richardson was also his grandson, son of his son Moses. All
this is from a copy of the will, now before me.

Robert Richardson4 (Josiah? Josiah? Ezekiel1), brother of
the preceding, and second son of Lieut. Josiah8 and Mercy (Par
ish or Parris) Richardson ; born in Chelmsford, Oct. 2, 1693 ;
married Deborah •  .
There can scarcely be a doubt that the full name of the wife
was Deborah Parish or Parris, for the names were then convert
ible, and that she was the daughter of Robert Parris, an early
settler of Dunstable, or rather of Litchfield, N. H., then a part of
Dunstable. The name of their son affords sufficient evidence of
the fact.
He lived some years in Chelmsford, at least till 1724, when, or
about that time, he removed to Litchfield, N. H., where his wife's
father lived. He was a grantor of land in Litchfield in 1739.
Litchfield, previously a part of Dunstable, was incorporated as
a town July 5, 1734. It then and previously belonged to Massa
chusetts. The country being kept almost constantly in alarm from the
fear of hostile visits from the Indians, who often came unexpect
edly, it was necessary to be always in a state of preparation for
such visits. A large number of men in Dracut and vicinity were
kept constantly armed and equipped ; and since the Indians
might come in winter, as well as summer, these men were sup
plied with snow-shoes, at the expense of the province. The
whole north regiment of Essex County was thus supplied in 1710.
There were over fifty men thus supplied in the town of Haver
hill, then including Methuen, and adjoining Dracut. They were
known as "snow-shoe men."
In 1725, Robert Richardson had a company of "snow-shoe
men," some of whom went in pursuit of the Indians after the
" Pigwacket Fight," May 8, 1725. They went because they were
acquainted with the haunts and habits pf the Indians.
Robert and Deborah Richardson had the children named below
before leaving Chelmsford, and probably more afterwards :
219. Phebe,6 b. Feb. 22, 1719.
220. Parish,5 b. Dec. 18, 1724. He was a soldier in the company of
Capt. John Hazen, of Haverhill, raised 1758, for the reduction
of Ticonderoga and Crown Point. [See Chase's History of
Haverhill, p. 353.] He did not belong to Haverhill, but prob
ably in Litchfield, which was but a few miles distant.
The town of Hollis, N. H., was included in Dunstable till
April 3, 1746, when it was incorporated as a town. It had pre
viously been the West Parish in Dunstable. One of the earliest
settlers, if not the very earliest, was Capt. Peter Powers, in 1730,
from Littleton, Mass. In the "Old French War," 1755, Capt.

Powers commanded a company made up from Hollis, Dunstable,
and the neighboring towns. In this company Timothy Richard
son [221] and Luther Richardson [222] were privates. I pre
sume they were sons of Robert Richardson, of Dunstable. The
military ardor of the family, if nothing more, justifies the pre
sumption.

Capt. Zachariah Richardson4 (Josiah? Josiah? Ezekiel1),
brother of the preceding; born in Chelmsford, February, 1695-6 ;
married Sarah Butterfield, born Sept. 23, 1701, daughter of
Benjamin and Sarah Butterfield. Benjamin Butterfield was one
of the founders of Chelmsford.
In his will, dated March 21, 1776— the day before he died— he
styles himself "gentleman," and gives to wife Sarah the free use
and improvement of all his household goods, furniture, and live .
stock during her natural life, and directs that whatever may re
main after her death be "divided equally between all my daugh
ters, or their heirs." He also makes a bequest to his grandson,
Paul Richardson [son of his son Josiah].
He died March 22, 1776, aged 80. His widow, Sarah, died
Aug. 11, 1788, aged 88. [Gravestone.]

POSTERITY OF EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 63
108.
Capt. William Richardson4 (Josiah? Josiah? Ezekiel1),
brother of the preceding, and youngest son of Lieut. Josiah 8 and
Mercy (Parish) Richardson ; born in Chelmsford, Sept. 19, 1701 ;
married, about 1722, Elizabeth Colburn, daughter of Daniel
and Sarah Colburn, of Dracut.
He settled in Pelham, N. H., in 1722, and cultivated a farm
there ; commenced housekeeping there that year. Pelham was a
part of Dracut, but separated from it in 1741, when, by an order
of the Privy Council of England, sixteen towns were taken from
Massachusetts and annexed to New Hampshire.*
He was many years captain of a military company. He was
also a representative in the General Court of the province.
His will is dated April 1, 1776 ; proved Nov. 7, 1776. He died
in the interval. It may be found among the probate records of
Rockingham County, at Exeter, N. H. He mentions wife Eliza
beth, daughter Molly, wife of Jacob Fletcher, and other children
as below. Sons Asa and Daniel, executors.
Children of Capt. William Richardson, born in Pelham, but all
recorded in Dracut:
235. Elizabeth,5 b. July 27, 1724; m. Capt. Joseph Butterfield.
236. Abner,5 no date given.
237. Mary,5 b. April IS, 1728; m. Capt. Reuben Butterfield. They had
Asa (Butterfield) and James (Butterfield). She was living in
1794.
238. William,6 b.' January, 1730-1; was an ensign in a company of
soldiers under command of Capt. John Hazen, of Haverhill,
raised 1758, for the reduction of Ticonderoga and Crown
Point. Possibly I mistake the man.
239. Mercy,5 b. June 17, 1736; m. Jacob Fletcher. [In her father's
will she is called Molly, an evident mistake in copying, for be
sides her there was a Mary, the wife of Reuben Butterfield.]
*The charter under which Massachusetts was settled was granted hy
Charles I , king of England, to sundry persons, on the 19th of March, 1627-8.
It conveyed to these gentlemen, well known as the Massachusetts Company,
all that tract of land, that portion of the earth's surface, extending frum'a
point three miles north of the Merrimack River, and every part of it, to a
point three miles south of Charles River, and every part of it, and within these
limits from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, or Great South Sea.
With a view to ascertain the northern limit of this grant, a commission was
appointedin 1639 by the government of Massachusetts. The limit was found at
the outlet of the Lake Winuipiseogee, where the Merrimack leaves said lake,
and where it begins to be the Merrimack. A certain tree three miles north of
this was marked as the northern limit of Massachusetts. It is plain as the
day-light that this is the true north limit whence the line should run, according
to the charter.
One of the last acts of that profligate and irreligious prince, Charles II., was
to annul the charter, and thus deprive the people of Massachusetts of any title
to their lands, which were all held under this instrument. It was a most fla
gitious and wicked proceeding, though done under the forms of law, in tlie
Chancery Court of England, October, 1685. The rights and liberties of Massa
chusetts now lay prostrate in the dust. The government of New Hampshire,
taking advantage of this unhappy state of things— for the new charter of 1092
did not recognize the old boundaries as established in 1628— after many efforts,
continued through a score of years, at length prevailed on the Privy Council
of England to issue the order referred to in the text. And thus, by a mere
stroke of the pen, Massachusetts was shorn of a large portion of her heritage,
of which she had full possession more than a century.

Eleazar Richardson4 (Samuel? Josiah? Ezekiel1), youngest
son of Samuel 8 and Rachel (Howard) Richardson, of Chelms

a comparison of many dates on the town and county records, it
must have taken place not far from 1720. The probate court ap
pointed him administrator of the estate "of his father, Samuel
Richardson," May 20, 1754; and the inventory of said estate,
dated June 10, 1754, represents him as the only son, that is, the
only son living.
He married Lydia Perham, born Sept. 24, 1722, daughter of
Benoni and Sarah Perham, of Chelmsford.

68 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
It is also stated that Capt. Ezekiel Richardson sold his farm to
William Adams, husband of Elizabeth Richardson [280], and
"moved away." This must have been about 1758, when Wil
liam Adams was married, aud is likely to have wanted a farm,
and when Ezekiel Richardson also was married and wanted a
farm. How far he moved is not said, and we are left to conjec
ture. Perhaps only to Pelham, the adjoining town; and the
conjecture derives probability from the fact that not very long
, 314. after we find an Ezekiel Richardson who died early in 1829, in
testate, leaving a widow, Mary, and several children, one of
whom was Dorothy, a minor, then over fourteen years of age,
315. whose brother Ezekiel was appointed to be her guardian, Dec. 2,
1829 ; and she, about a year after or less, was married to James
H. Currier, of Pelham. [Hillsboro' Prob. Rec, xxx. 620 ; xxiii.
450.] We also find that Ezekiel Richardson, of Pelham, who was no
doubt son of the other Ezekiel, and guardian as above stated,
died, intestate, in 1869, leaving a widow Sybil and a daughter
Sybil. [Hillsboro' Prob. Rec, Ixxx. 363.]

Benjamin Richardson4 (Thomas? James? Ezekiel1), young
est son of Thomas8 and Hannah (Colburn) Richardson; born in
what was then Chelmsford, afterwards the town of Dracut, March
30, .1696; married Eunice  ; perhaps Eunice Hodgdon.
He lived in Groton, at that time adjoining Chelmsford. In
1748, in a deed to James Gordon, he is said to be of Dunstable.
He owned land, June 4, 1753, in Dunstable. The same year,
1753, we also find him in No. 2, N. H., which means Rockingham,
Vt., then supposed to be in New Hampshire. It was near Bel
lows Falls, on Connecticut River.
His children, recorded in Groton, were :

Hon. Loammi Baldwin (Ruth Richardson? Joseph? Joseph?
Samuel1), son of Ruth Richardson by her husband James Bald-
win^and great-great-grandson both of Samuel Richardson * and
of his brother Ezekiel Richardson,1 who were among the founders
of Woburn ; born in Woburn, Jan. 10, 1744-5, old style ; married,
first, July 9, 1772, Mary Fowle, daughter of James Fowle, Esq.,*
town clerk of Woburn. She died Sept. 27, 1786. Second, May
26, 1791, Margaret Fowle (Margery, the record calls her),
daughter of Josiah Fowle, of Woburn. He was son of Major
John and Mary (Convers) Fowle, who was son of Capt. James
and Mary (Richardson) Fowle. For Mary Richardson, see pos
terity of Samuel Richardson.
Loammi Baldwin lived — where his ancestors had lived — at
" New Bridge," or North Woburn, and became very eminent.
He was very diligent in his attendance on school. In the sum
mer of 1770, he was accustomed to walk, in company with his
friend, Benjamin Thompson, afterwards Count Rpmford,t to
* Capt. James Fowle, uncle of James in the text, born in Woburn, March 4,
1667, was chosen town clerk in 1701, and continued in that office till 1714, when
he died. His brother, Capt. John Fowle, immediately succeeded, and was
town clerk till he died, 1744. James Fowle, son of John, and nephew of Capt.
James, and father of Mary Fowle in the text, was born in Woburn, July 16,
1710; was town clerk of Woburn from 1746 till Ms death in 1779, thirty-four
years. His son James succeeded him in office for eleven years more. In 1814,
Marshall Fowle, son of this James, was chosen town clerk, and held the office
till his death, 1833, nineteen years. So that from 1701 to 1833 Woburn had a
Fowle in the office of town clerk, 103 years, or more than three-fourths of the
time. [Sewall's Hist, of Woburn; pp. 613, 614.]
t Unstinted commendation and honor have been lavished on Count Rumford
ever since I can remember ; but a dark side to his character and reputation
should not be overlooked. During the Revolutionary struggle, when the
country was bleeding at every pore, he was a most malignant tory, and a bit
ter foe to American freedom. He was born in North Woburn, near the meet
ing-house there, March 26, 1753. After the second marriage of his mother, in
March, 1756, the family lived in a house directly opposite the Baldwin man
sion. In the autumn of 1770, he taught school at Concord, N. H., then called Rum-
ford. There he became acquainted with Mrs. Sarah Rolfe, widow of Col.
Benjamin Rolfe, one of the early settlers of Concord. The lady was much
older than himself, and was very far from being personally attractive; but her
husband had left her in possession of a large property, and probably without
a spark of affection on either side she was married to Thompson in 1772. This
of course raised him in the world, and now he could look down on other peo
ple. Wentworth, the royal governor, gave him a commission as major, which
of course was not pleasing to the officers over whose heads he was so unwor
thily promoted. Disaffection easily arose between him and them. To get re
venge, in 1774, they spread a report, easily believed in those days of suspicion
and doubt, that he favored the royal cause. There was certainly a very easy
way to remove these doubts and to put a stop to these insinuations, namely,
to come out boldly and decidedly, as did his friend Baldwin, on the side of his
country. This did not suit him; he therefore joined the British army m Bos
ton, in October, 1775. When Boston was evacuated, in March, 1776, General

Cambridge — twelve miles at least — to attend the lectures of Pro
fessor Winthrop on Natural and Experimental Philosophy, for
which liberty had been given them. After their return home,
they were wont to make rude instruments for themselves, for
illustration of the principles they had heard announced in those
lectures. At the commencement of the war in 1775, then at the age of
thirty, he enlisted in the Patriot army, in a regiment commanded
by Colonel Samuel Gerrish. On the seventeenth of June, the
day of Bunker Hill, he was lieutenant colonel in that regiment;
but for some reason,* the regiment, though ordered to the scene
of action, advanced no nearer than just outside the isthmus of
Charlestown. This neglect has always been imputed to the cow
ardice of Col. Gerrish. He was tried by a court-martial, found
guilty of misbehavior, and dismissed from the service. In August
of that year, Loammi Baldwin was placed at the head of that
regiment as its colonel.
Till the end of 1775, Col. Baldwin remained with his regiment
near Boston. In April, 1776, he followed Washington to New
York, and was with him in the retreat through New Jersey. Ou
the memorable night of Dec. 25, 1776, when, in an extremely vio
lent and cold storm of snow and hail, Washington crossed the
Delaware to Trenton, and the next morning captured one thou
sand Hessian troops, Col. Baldwin and his men took part in this
glorious enterprise. In 1777, he was honorably discharged from
the army on account of ill health.
After this, his fellow-citizens, highly appreciating his capacity
for business, often elected him to office and placed him on impor
tant committees. Of these committees he was generally the
chairman. In 1778 and 1779, and again in 1800 and the four fol-
Howe sent him to England with dispatches for the royal government. By
the ministers he was very warmly received; a commission in the British army
given him, and he was sent back to America to command a regiment of tories
in the British service. The tories, as every one knows, were more bitter and
more cruel, by far, against all who fought for their country than the regular
troops, and even than the Indians. During the latter part of the war, Thomp
son, with his command, was stationed at Huntington, on Long Island, and
omitted nothing in his power to distress the patriotic inhabitants and to wound
and harrow up their feelings. Even so late in the struggle as 1782, when the
liberties of America were secured by the capture of Cornwallis at Yorktown,
these annoyances were continued. Take the following as a specimen :
There was a Congregational Church in Huntington, of which Rev. Ebenezer
Prime was pastor from 1719 to 1779. He died about Oct. 1, 1779, and was buried
in the old cemetery there. Some time after this, Col. Thompson [the future
Count Rumford] pitched his marque at the head of Mr. Prime's grave, in order,
as he said, that he might have the pleasure of treading under foot the " old
rebel," as he called him, every time he went in or out. His troops took up
their quarters in the same grave-yard, the graves being levelled, and the
grave-stones used for building their fire-places and ovens. The seats in the
house of God were torn up, and the building made a military depot. See this
and much more of the same sort in Sprague's Annals of the American Pulpit,
vol. iii. pp. 33, 34.
Such a man was Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford!
* The reason assigned was the incessant cannonade from the Glasgow frig*
ate, the Cerberus, the Symmetry, and several floating batteries, across the
isthmus of Charlestown.

POSTERITY OF EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 71
lowing years, he represented Woburn in the General Court. In
1780, he was appointed high sheriff of Middlesex County. He
was representative of his district in Congress in 1794 and 1796.
From his knowledge of mathematics, he was chosen a member of
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, incorporated 1780.
In the construction of the Middlesex canal, connecting the
Merrimack River, at Chelmsford, with the tide-water of Mystic
River, near Boston, he took a leading part. He was one of the
proprietors incorporated for the work, June 22, 1793 ; was con
stantly with the workmen employed upon it, overseeing and di
recting it, and had the happiness of seeing it become navigable in
1803. During pome years this canal was a great public benefit ;
but in 1835 the'Boston and Lowell railroad was constructed, and
about 1852 the canal was filled up*
To him the community are indebted for the introduction to
public notice and the successful cultivation of that choice vegeta
ble, the Baldwin apple. The story is given in Rev. Samuel Sew
all's History of Woburn, p. 388 ; it was also stated to me by Col.
Baldwin's youngest son, George Rumford Baldwin, in a visit I
made to his house in August, 1858. Mr. Brooks, in his History
of Medford, pp. 19, 20, has fallen into some mistakes.
Col. Baldwin happened to be one day in Wilmington — Mr.
Sewall says, surveying land — about a mile or a little more from
the Woburn line, and perhaps the same distance from the line of
Burlington. He observed that a certain tree on the land of
James Butters, near where he stood, attracted the woodpeckers,
who were continually resorting to it. Curiosity led him to visit
the tree to ascertain the cause, and finding under its branches
apples of an excellent flavor, he took from it scions to graft into
stocks of his own. Other persons in that vicinity, induced by his
example or advice, grafted trees of their own with scions from
the same stock. And subsequently, whenever Col. Baldwin at
tended court, or went into different parts of the county as high
sheriff, he was accustomed to carry scions of this variety with
him, so that this species of fruit became extensively known and
cultivated. This reference to Col. Baldwin's business indicates
that the " Baldwin apple " dates back to a time not far from 1780.
The original tree was uprooted in the remarkable " September
gale," 1815.
Col. Loammi Baldwin died Oct. 20, 1807, aged 62. His second
wife, Margaret, died Aug. 8, 1799.f

* This canal was at the time regarded with much favor, but it cost a great
deal of money. One hundred assessments were made between Jan. 1, 1794
and Sept. 1, 1817, the whole amount being $1,164,200, or $1,455.25 on each share.
The first dividend was not declared till Feb. 1, 1819. From that time it yield
ed an income of less than one and a half per cent per annum. The construc
tion of the Boston and Lowell railroad, 1835, utterly ruined its business, and
in 1852 its charter was surrendered and the canal sold by auction,
t She is called Margery in the record. Her true name was Margaret; this
name Mr. Sewall gives her in his Hist, of Woburn, p. 389.

and Ruth Chenery, of Watertown.
He was a tailor by trade. At the time of his marriage he was
said to be of Charlestown, but his two oldest children were born
in Woburn, at least their births are recorded there. After mar
riage, or from 1764 to 1771, he was an innkeeper at Watertown.
He occupied the house at the junction of Belmont and Mount
Auburn Streets, since known as Bird's Hotel. It is said that the
house is now standing and occupied by Joseph Bird, jr. He
afterwards resided in Lincoln, near Watertown and once a part
of it. l
He died in Lincoln, in 1797, aged 80. His will, dated 1785,
proved June 14, 1797, designates him as "innholder of Water-
town," and leaves his property to wife, Abigail, aud the children.

Moses Richardson 6 ( Theophilus? Ezekiel? Theophilus? Eze
kiel1), brother of the preceding; born in Woburn, April 8, 1722;
married Mary Prentiss,6 born Oct. 19, 1729, daughter of Henry
and Catharine (Fitch) Prentiss, of Cambridge*
Moses Richardson lived in Cambridge, doubtless in West Cam
bridge, now Arlington. He was one of six Cambridge men, who
were killed by the British troops, on the afternoon of Lexington
fight, April 19, 1775, on their flight from Concord. [See Hud
son's History of Lexington.] Three at least of those six men
were non-combatants, and were killed by the British regulars in
sheer wantonness and spite. Those troops, under the command
of Colonel Smith, about eight hundred in number, had gone up
to Concord to bring' away or destroy military stores deposited
there. Finding the country alarmed, they set out, early in the
afterno'on, on their return to Boston. At every step of their
progress they found the "minute men" collected from many
towns to oppose them. Their retreat was hasty, and soon became
ho better than a flight. Losing many of their number, they be
came exasperated, and on their passage through West Cambridge
they conducted like savages. The Provincial Congress of Massa
chusetts, by a committee appointed for the purpose, April 22,
drew up a narrative of the transactions of the day, founded on
depositions taken on the spot. . It says : " A great number of
houses on the road were plundered and rendered unfit for use ;
several houses were burned ; women in child-bed were driven by
the soldiery, naked, into the streets ; old men peaceably in their
houses were shot dead." Of these old men Moses Richardson
was one. He was now fifty-three years of age, and therefore too
old to be found with arms in his hands.

* Henry Prentiss,4 her father, died in Cambridge, Aug. 23, 1787, aged 82.
Among the people of the town he was known as "Doctor Touch." He was
son of Thomas,* who was son of Solomon,2 who was son of Thomas Prentiss,1
who was born in England, and settled in Cambridge before 1640. The Prentiss
family have been noted for talent and influence. [See Prentiss Genealogy.]
Prentiss and Prentice are convertible names. The name here should be
Prentiss.

74 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
Dr. Nathaniel Shepherd Prentiss* who was born in Cambridge,
in 1766, and lived there till he was twenty years of age, remem
bered to have seen Mr. Richardson's body with a bullet-hole
through his head. Prentiss was then nine years of age. He was
a distant relative of Richardson's wife, and a very excellent man.
He practiced medicine in Roxbury ; lived, there more than fifty
years, and was town clerk over thirty years, having the confidence
not only of the town's people but of the public generally.
Moses Richardson left no will, but administration of his estate
was made in 1779. By the Middlesex Probate Record it appears
that his wife Mary survived him, and that their children living in
1779 were as follows. The widow Mary died in Cambridge, 1812.
Children in 1779:
348. Mary,6 b. about 1750; m. William Russell, Jan. 16, 1772.
349. Catharine,6 m.  Smith.

there, June 13, 1721 ; married Love  .
He was a " cordwainer ; " lived and died in Lincoln. He died
in 1787. His widow Love was appointed administratrix' March

* Dr. Prentiss taught an academy in Roxbury in 1801 — an excellent teacher.
Samuel Newell, the missionary, was one of his pupils, and was fitted for col
lege by him. Mr. Newell ever after regarded him as his greatest earthly ben
efactor. In a letter written at Serampore, Bengal, July 14, 1812, Mr. Newell
says to him: " The encouragement and friendly aid which I received from
you, under the providence of God, gave a new turn to all the succeeding
events of my life. To you it is owing that I am now a minister of Christ in
heathen lands, and not a day laborer in America." Dr. Prentiss was a mem
ber of the House of Representatives of Massachusetts in 1812, and chairman of
the committee to whom was referred the bill for the incorporation of the
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and to his exertions,
in part, is due the passage of that important hill. Dr. Prentiss lived to an ad
vanced age.

* The Adams Family of Chelmsford.
There were as many as twenty men of the name of Adams in the first gen
eration of New England people. It is a very common name in Old England ^s
well as in this country. The name being originally simply an abbreviation,
an equivalent, for Adam's son, this may account for its wide prevalence. The
original emigrants to this country bearing this name do not seem to, have been
related. I. Henky Adams came from England to this country in 1634, and settled in
Braintree, about eight miles from Boston. There is strong reason to believe
that he came from Braintree in Essex, Eng. It is known that his family origi
nated in Wales, about six hundred years ago. The original name was 2p
Adam, equivalent to Adam's son,' exchanged for Adams about 1450. Henry
Adams settled in that part of Braintree, Mass., which is now Quincy, incor
porated as a town Feb. 22, 1792. He had eight sons, Henry, Thomas, Samuel,
Jonathan, Peter, John, Joseph, Edward,
II. Samuel Adams, the third son, born in England, 1617, settled in Chelms
ford, 1654, where he died, Jan. 24, 1688-9. His brother Thomas also settled in
Chelmsford. These two brothers built mills at Pawtucket Falls, where is
now the city of Lowell. Previously to this, the people carried their grain to
Boston to be ground by a wind-mill. He had fourteen children.
III. Joseph Adams, a son of his, passed his life in Chelmsford.
IV. Benjamin Adams, a son of the last named, also lived in Chelmsford.
He was father of William Adams, husband of Elizabeth Richardson in the
text.

first, 1744, Eleanor Wood, daughter of Benjamin Wood, of
Pelham, N. H., and formerly of Dracut. Second, Hannah — -.
He lived in Dracut some years. He seems to have lived in
Pelham after his second marriage, for we find the children of the
second marriage were born in Pelham and recorded there.
His children by first wife, Eleanor, were :

He lived in Westford, and appears to have died in 1772.
I have found no will, nor settlement of his estate, nor record of
his children, though I have had copies of the Westford, the Dra
cut, and the Pelham records, and pretty full abstracts of the
Middlesex probate records. From correspondence I learn that
he had these two sons by his wife Rebecca, viz. .
+513. Thomas,6 m. first, Abigail Spalding; second, Lucy Spalding.

Benjamin Richaedson6 (Benjamin? Thomas? James? Eze
kiel1), son of Benjamin4 and Eunice Richardson, of Groton; born
there, March 1, 1731; married, first, March, 1752, Phebe Brint
nall, baptized Sept. 19, 1731, daughter of James and Mary (Bas
sett) Brintnall, of Chelsea, near Boston. She died May 3, 1768,
leaving no children except an adopted child, her cousin, Benjamin
Bassett Brintnall, born 1760, who died at sea. Second, 1768,
Ann Brintnall, baptized Nov. 14, 1742, sister of Phebe.*
*Some doubt has hung over the parentage and birth-place of Benjamin
Richardson,6 but a careful and prolonged investigation has led to the result
announced in the text. Some of his grandchildren — of the Knox family— have
supposed that he was born in Exeter; but the Exeter records and the records
of Rockingham County have been thoroughly and repeatedly examined with
out finding his name, or that of any one of his family, except as given in three
deeds, now to be quoted.
1. ln the first deed, Benjamin Richardson, of Dunstable, N. H., and Eunice,
his wife, convey land to James Gordon, in 1748. Benjamin and Eunice must
have been his parents. They formerly lived in Groton, at least their children's
births are recorded there; but Groton joins Dunstable, and thus we may easily
account for the residence of the father in Dunstable in 1748.
2. In the second deed, in the same year, 1748, Thomas Chamberlain sells
land to Benjamin Richardson, of Welford, N. H. Welford is doubtless a cleri
cal error for Milford, a town formerly a part of Dunstable.

POSTERITY OF EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 89
He had an Uncle Hodgdon, of Boston, who was probably his
mother's brother, and by whom, at the age of five, he was
adopted. In that city — town at that time — he appears to have
passed the remainder of his long life. This uncle subsequently
apprenticed him to a Mr. Bell, to learn the trade of mason, which
occupation he afterwards followed.
He gained the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens by
his genial disposition and integrity of ' character. He was dili
gent, punctual, and successful in his business, master of his trade,
thoroughly comprehending the details of building and architec
ture. He attended, with his family, the church in Brattle Street,
Boston, a church which had enjoyed the labors of Colman and the
Coopers, and was then under the pastoral care of Thacher and
Buckminster. He resided many years in his own house on Friend Street,
where he died, Sept. 26, 1813, aged 82. He was buried in tomb
No. 27, in the cemetery on Copp's Hill, Boston, where his second
wife, Ann, was afterwards laid. She died March 4, 1828, aged
86. His gravestone assures us that he was born in 1731, thus
confirming the statement made at the head of this notice.
The inventory of his estate, dated Jan. 10, 1814, amounts to
$5,741.15, thus representing, for those days, a fair property, the
fruit of his own industry. His son Samuel was the administrator.
Many articles of furniture, silver ware, etc., once belonging to
him, are now in the possession of his descendants.
His .children, all by second wife, all born in Boston, were :
•516. Benjamin,6 b. June 26, 1769 ; m. Susan Drew.
¦517. Ann,6 b. Nov. 1, 1770; m. Robert Knox.

+525. Samuel,6 b. Dec. 25, 1785 ; m. Caroline Schetky.

3. In the third deed, dated June 4, 1753, Benjamin Richardson, of No. 2,
N H " sells to John Robinson land in Dunstable. No. 2 designates the
present town of Rockingham, Vt., near Bellows Falls, on the Connecticut
River. Westminster, Vt, was "No. 1," Walpole, N.H., was No. 3, and
Charlestown, N. H., was " No 4." Westminster and Rockingham, Vt., were
then supposed to be in New Hampshire. .
The probability, therefore, is very strong that he was born m Groton, or if
not there, in Dunstable, a town adjoining. .
Both of his wives were daughters of James and Mary (Bassett) Brintnall.
This couple were married Aug. 6, 1724. They resided m Chelsea; their chil
dren were, Mary, John, James, Thomas, Phebe, Joseph, Ann. The father was
killed at the siege of Louisburg, May, 1745. The mother died in 1742
. Francis Bassett and Mary his wife were the parents of Mary, the wife of
James Brintnall, whose daughters were wives of Benpmm Richardson He-
Francis-descended from John and Sarah (Negoose) Bassoit. John Bassqit
was a French Huguenot, who fled from the persecuting rage of the mob in
Paris in 1685, arrived in Boston 1686, and settled in Charlestown.

wife, Mary Fowle ; born at " New Bridge," or North Woburn,
Dec. 15, 1777 ; married, May 1, 1808, Mart Carter Brewster
Coolidge, born Sept. 11, 1784, eldest daughter of Benjamin Cool
idge, a merchant of Boston, but retired from business in Woburn,
where he died in 1819. Her mother, of the same name, was a
descendant of Elder William Brewster, of Plymouth, 1620.
They lived in North Woburn, long the home of the Baldwin
family. Like his father, he devoted himself to the business of a
civil engineer, and assisted his brother Loammi in the construc
tion of the mill dam across the Back Bay ih Boston, and in other
great public improvements.
He died suddenly, Oct. 11, 1821, aged 43, as he was on his re
turn from the cattle-show in Brighton.
His widow married, Dec. 4, 1823, Wyman Richardson,6 Esq.
[2361], a counsellor at law, born in Woburn, Oct. 19, 1780, son of
Stephen5 and Martha (Wyman) Richardson. He died of an af
fection of the heart, June 22, 1841, aged 61. Her third husband,
married March 4, 1845, was Burrage Yale, a trader in South
Reading, now Wakefield. He proved an unpleasant companion,
and she soon found a separation indispensable to her comfort.
The children of Benj. F. Baldwin, by wife Mary, were :
526. Mary Brewster (Baldwin), b. March 26, 1809; d. Dec. 28, 1817.

Capt. Edward Richardson 8 (Edwflrd? Theophilus? Ezekiel?
Theophilus? Ezekiel1), son of Edward6 and Abigail (Chenery)
Richardson; born in Woburn, Feb. 8, 1747-8; married, May 16,
1771, Ann Wilson, of West Cambridge, now Arlington, Mass.,
1750. The record of his marriage describes him as of Concord, Mass.
In that town he resided many years.
When the war of the Revolution commenced, he, with his twin
brother, joined the standard of liberty. He was one of those
who resisted the inroad of the British troops at Concord Bridge,
April 19, 1775, and compelled them to a hasty retreat. At that
time he was orderly serjeant of a company of " minute men," liv
ing in Concord. He soon after . enlisted in the " eight months'
service," from May, 1775, to the end of the year. His son Josiah
stated — and the statement was made in 1830, while the father
was yet living — that he continued in the military service of his
country till the end of the war — eight years * — being successive
ly commissioned as ensign, lieutenant, quarter-master, paymaster,
and captain. These commissions are still in existence. At West
Point he commanded a company. It is said that he commanded
the first company that broke ground at Verplanok's Point.
For his services in the war, he received pay in Continental
money, or the promise of Congress to pay money when they
could get it. Of this fictitious currency, there were issued in all
three hundred and fifty-seven millions of dollars.f
* This statement is hardly consistent with the fact that eleven children were
born to him previously to his removal to Maine in 1793. Pour or five of them
must have been born during the eight years of the war.
t About the end of 1776, this currency began to depreciate. In a year more,
the depreciation was three dollars for one. In December, 1778, it stood at six
for one. A year after, it was twenty-seven for one. In December, 1780, sev
enty for one. In the autumn of 1781, it was five hundred for one. In the lat
ter part of 1780, this paper ceased to circulate; nobody would take it; it was
absolutely worthless the year following. Part of it was redeemed, in 1790, at
one hundred for one. Much of it was never redeemed. [Gouge on American
Banking.]

92 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
When about forty-four years of age, finding himself at the
head of a numerous family, he determined to remove to the
country on the Androscoggin River, in the then District of Maine.
He removed thither in February, 1793. Respecting this removal,
we find the following deeds on record :
Edward Richardson, of Cambridge, gentleman, buys of the
proprietors of Phips' Canada [afterwards the town of Jay, Me.]
about one hundred acres, No. 5 in Range No. 3, on the west side
of Androscoggin River, Jan. 10, 1792. [Cumberland Deeds, vol.
xxii. p. 203.]
Edward Richardson, of Phips' Canada, gentleman, bought of
Benjamin Bird, of Waltham, Middlesex Co., the undivided half of
No. 18 in Range No. 2, and No. 7 in Range 13, both on the east
ern side of Androscoggin River, and No. 5 in Range 4, on the
western side of Androscoggin River, Jan. 16, 1794. [Cumberland
Deeds, xxii. 204.]
In the interval between these two deeds he removed to Jay.
Edward Richardson, of Phipstown, Esquire, and Richard Rich
ardson, of Cambridge, Middlesex Co. [his brother], bought of
Nathan Fuller, of Newton, Middlesex Co., seven lots of land in
Phipstown, particularly described, all on the easterly side of
Ameriscoggin River [same as Androscoggin], Jan. 24, 1795.
[Cumberland Deeds, xxii. 206.]
Edward Richardson, of Jay, Lincoln Co., Esquire, bought of
Z. Judson, of Hallowell, saddler, about 100 acres in Jay, on the
west side of Androscoggin River, Sept. 5, 1797. [Cumberland
Deeds, xxvii. 414.]
Edward Richardson, of Jay, and Richard Richardson, of Cam
bridge, sold to Mark Wilson, of Poland, lots of land in said Po
land, on the easterly side of Saco River [for Saco here, read
Androscoggin], February, 1798. [Cumberland Deeds, xxix. 252.]
The place to which he removed, then called " Phips' Canada,
was then, 1793, in a rough, uncultivated state, and contained but
three families. Two years later, it received the name of Phips
town, and contained but fifteen in the whole township. It has
since been divided into two towns; Jay, made from the eastern
portion, and Canton from the western. He was a prominent, in
fluential man in the place. During many years he was the only
trial justice for several miles around, and the only one qualified
to solemnize marriages. Consequently, his log-house in the wil
derness was much resorted to, and was the scene of many happy
gatherings, which were yet always conducted with strict decorum.
He bought land cheap, as the country was new, and being a
large proprietor, he was enabled to bestow on each of his numer
ous children a valuable farm. Some of them retained their farms,
while others, wishing to follow some other occupation, disposed
of theirs. None of his sons or grandsons became mechanics, but
preferred agricultural pursuits or merchandize.
The family, when it removed to Maine in 1793, consisted ofthe
parents and seven children, besides a cousin, on the father's side,
Martha Swan. Of these ten, not a death occurred for over

POSTERITY OF EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 93
thirty-three years. The mother was a truly religious woman.
The husband and father, though a worthy man, never made a
public profession of religion.
He resembled his twin brother Moses in person so closely, that
one was often taken for the other. Once, in particular, he played
offa joke on the young lady who was to marry Moses, presenting
himself to her as her accepted swain, and spending the evening
with her as such ; and she did not discover the substitution till
some time after, when she was with great difficulty convinced of
it. He died July, 1834, in his eighty-seventh year. His wfe Ann
died Aug. 2, 1826, in her seventy-seventh year.
The children of Edward and Ann (Wilson) Richardson, all but
the first born in West Cambridge, Mass., were :
+534. John,7b. Sept. 25, 1775; m. first, Eunice Gooding;* second,
Polly Paine.
+535. Edward,7 b. Oct. 22, 1777; m. Sally Brown.

- -540. Ann,7 b. October, 1790 ; m. Jesse Coolidge.
Four other children died in infancy before the removal.
Capt. Edward Richardson had fifty grandchildren, eighty
great-grandchildren, and in April, 1874, there were already fif
teen of the following generation. Some are in the far east, some
in the far west.

336.
Moses Richardson6 (Edward? Theophilus? Ezekiel? The
ophilus? Ezekiel1), twin brother of the preceding; born in Wo
burn, Feb. 8, 1747-8 ; married Miriam  .
At the outbreak of the Revolution, he, with his brother Ed
ward, joined in the war for liberty, and received a commission as
ensign — some say lieutenant — in the same company. He lived
for a time in West Cambridge, afterwards in Acton, and at length
in Concord. In his will he is said to be of Concord.
My information respecting him is vague and unsatisfactory;
but what I shall next say is on the best authority.
He and his twin brother Edward, who, I suppose, fought by
each other's side during the Revolutionary war, were present at
the laying of the corner-stone of the Bunker Hill monument,
June 17, 1825, just half a century after the battle. Lafayette was
present, and assisted in the transaction. The event attracted
great attention, and officers and soldiers of the old Continental
army, from all parts, were there. These twin brothers, whose
united weight was said to exceed five hundred pounds, rode to
gether in an open barouche, " the observed of all observers."

94 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
These " noble twin brothers of Revolutionary fame" received a
conspicuous notice in the account given of the affair in the news
papers immediately after. Their close resemblance to each other
has already been mentioned.
His will, dated Dec. 9, 1833, was proved in 1835, and he must
have died in the interval, at the age of about eighty-seven. He
describes himself as of Concord, and speaks. of his widow, Miriam,
and of children, Allen, Aaron, Mary, and Moses ; a statement
which does not perfectly accord with a record from another
source. The will of Miriam, widow of Moses Richardson, is still more
discrepant. It is dated April 9, 1839, and was proved in 1839.
It recognizes herself as the widow of Moses Richardson, of Con
cord, but gives the following as her children's names : Joanna
Baker, Ellen Miriam, Frances Wheeler, and Eben. I cannot rec
oncile this with the other,-.but on the supposition of her having
had two husbands.
The children of Moses Richardson, as derived from another
source, were :
+541. Fisher,7 b. 1770; m. Betsey Bird.
542. Moses.7
543. Joel,7m. Louisa  ; lived in Stow; d. 1825. He left a son,

544. Allen.7

After the Revolutionary war, they removed to Fryeburg, Me.
The husband died February, 1829. The wife, Ruth, died Oct. 30,
1835, aged nearly 86.
When Josiah Richardson, her nephew, attended the academy
in Fryeburg, in 1805, he boarded with his aunt Weston.

now the town of Jay, county of Franklin, Maine. He sold either
a part, or the whole, of this interest three years after. [Cumb.
Deeds, xxii. 206; xxix. 252.] In 1800, he was a "head builder,"
on Charter Street, Boston.
At length he removed to Ashby; the date not known to me.
By patient industry and active enterprise he became possessed
of a handsome estate. Besides property in other places, he owned
about thirty-six acres of woodland in the south part of New Ips

Peter Richardson6 (Edward? Theophilus? Ezekiel? The

married, April 13, 1780, Hannah Bond,6 born March 31, 1758,
daughter of Jonas Bond, of Watertown.* She died in 1823.
They had two daughters whose names are unknown.
For a time he kept a public house in Brighton. Afterwards he
kept the " Bite Tavern," in Boston, on Exchange Lane, now Ex
change Street. A Boston directory for 1800 locates him there at
that time. He acquired a handsome property, which he ex
changed for farms and lands in the old county of Hampshire, and
then removed thither. His nephew, Josiah Richardson [538],
son of his brother Edward, who died in Auburn, Me., 1865, aged
80, thought he removed to Ashfield. He died before 1830.

Abiqail Richardson 6 (Edward? Theophilus? Ezekiel? The
ophilus? Ezekiel1), sister ofthe preceding; born May 1, 1756;
married Oliver Brown, March 26, 1776.
Within a few months after marriage, he joined the army of the
Revolution. At the battle oif the Brandywine, Sept. 11, 1777, he
had charge of one of the pieces of artillery. The onset of the
enemy was fierce, and the Americans suffered severely, losing full
twelve hundred men, killed, wounded, and prisoners. The Brit
ish loss was almost eight hundred. At the close of the encoun
ter, Brown — so I am informed — was the only man left standing
by the gun.
About 1796, he removed with his family to the new State of
Ohio. I have no further information, except that their posterity
" are respectable and wealthy."
* This may be a mistake of the compiler. There was at the time another
Peter Richardson,6 a son of Thomas and Mehitable Richardson, and about the
age of Peter Richardson,6 in the text, who has an equal and perhaps a better
claim to be placed on record as the husband of Hannah Bond. In a case like
this, where the probabilities are so nearly balanced, it is difficult to decide.
The compiler, after some consideration, is inclined to think that Peter Rich
ardson,6 in the text, married, March 21, 1798, Lydia Bkooks, of Lincoln, and
not Hannah Bond. For the other Peter Richardson, see No. 1967, among the
Posterity of Samuel Richaedson.1

He was apprenticed to a baker, and carried out bread for sale.
On the morning of the battle of Lexington, at the request of the
selectmen, he carried a quantity of gunpowder from Waltham to
Lexington. He afterwards served his country in the militia, and
performed service enough to entitle him to a pension. In 1778,
at the age of twenty, he removed to Concord, which was his
home for twenty-seven years. His original business was that of a
baker, but he afterwards kept a country dry goods store. He
built and occupied as his dwelling the old County House, which,
about 1789, he exchanged with the county for the Middlesex
Hotel. There he kept "an extensive house of entertainment." He
was also a sheriff and keeper of the county jail. In 1802, he
formed a copartnership with Jonathan Wheeler. The firm of
Richardson & Wheeler carried on a large business. In Concord
he also dealt in land, as an abstract from a deed informs us, to
wit :
In February and April, 1796, John Richardson, of Concord,
Mass., gentleman, bought of Amos and Samuel Lawrence and the
minor children of Nehemiah Lawrence,f of Groton, two undi
vided rights of land in Flint's town [afterwards Baldwin], Maine.
[Cumberland Deeds, vol. xxiv.]
In 1805, Richardson and Wheeler removed to Boston, and
were largely engaged in traffic, importing goods from England
and elsewhere, having branches of their house in New York and
Baltimore. On the death of his partner, Mr. Richardson removed
to Newton, where he purchased and occupied the elegant' man

They were parents of Anna and Hannah Bemis, in the text. [Bond's Water-

ing in Groton, Amos being the oldest. Nehemiah, the- second brother, died
July 13, 1786. They were sons of Amos Lawrence, of Groton, by his wife Abi
gail Abbot, of Lexington, whence the name of Abbot came into the family.
The great-grandfather of Amos, the last named, was John Lawrence, who
came from England and settled in Watertown. Of- the three brothers, Samu
el, the youngest, was the father of the eminent Boston merchants, William,
Amos, and Abbot Lawrence, and with others founded the Lawrence Academy
in Groton. He was also one who. fought at Concord; April 19, 1775. The
property in " Flint's town," which these brothers sold, had been the property
of their father, Amos Lawrence.

Samuel Richardson6 (Moses? Josiah? Josiah? Josiah? Eze
kiel1), supposed to be the youngest son of Moses Richardson, of
Dracut. We find a record of this man and his family in Pelham, the
town immediately north of Dracut, and till 1741 a part of that
town. But in neither town is there a record of his birth, nor
are we told who his father was. But circumstances make it evi
dent that he was a grandson of Capt. Josiah Richardson,4 of
Dracut. Of this, there cannot be a shadow of doubt. As little
doubt is there of a similar connection with the Colburn family of
Dracut. But he was not a son of David,6 the ferryman, who had
a son Samuel, the husband of Prudence Wood. The probability
is that he was a son of Moses.6
Samuel Richardson, of Pelham, of whom we now speak, was
born in Dracut, about 1768; married, first, Anna Parker, of
that place, March 23, 1786, who died after the birth of two chil
dren. Second, Tamar Colburn, of Dracut, March 5, 1792.
He owned and cultivated a farm in Dracut, probably till his
son Asa was old enongh to take care of it, but lived in Pelham
the greater part of his life. In his will, dated Feb. 26, 1842,
proved May 3, 1842, he mentions wife Tamar, and the six chil
dren, now to be named, as then living, viz. : Asa, Minor, Hannah,
Sally, Reuben, and David ; * gives the farm in Dracut, on which
Asa then lived, to his grandson, Asa W. M., of Dracut, on condi
tion of paying a certain debt, and gives to Reuben and David the
homestead in Pelham. He also mentions a granddaughter, Se-
mantha Richardson, as living and unmarried.
Children, all born in Pelham, by first wife, Anna :
699. Lydia,7 b. May 9, 1786; probably d. young.
700. Parker,7 b. June 21, 1788; probably d. young.
* Nearly all these names are found elsewhere among the grandchildren of
Capt. Josiah Richardson.*"

sanna Hildreth, born Sept. 30, 1764, daughter of Elijah and
Susanna (Barker) Hildreth, and granddaughter of Major Ephraim
and Mercy (Richardson) Hildreth, of Dracut. [See 204.] He
was, therefore, cousin to Obadiah Richardson, just noticed, in two
ways; both being grandsons of Capt. Josiah Richardson, and
their wives granddaughters of Major Ephraim Hildreth.
They lived in the easterly part of Dracut. He lived to the age
of ninety-one. Their children, all born in Dracut, were :

He passed his life in Dracut ; was a farmer ; surveyor of lum
ber from 1800 to 1805 ; measurer of wood and bark from 1806 to

the excellent character of his children.

Rev. Elijah Fletcher (Bridget Richardson? Zachariah?
Josiah? Josiah? Ezekiel1), eldest son of Timothy and Bridget
(Richnrdson) Fletcher, of Westford ; born there, June 8, 1747;
married Rebecca Chamberlain, of Westford, May 24, 1773.
He graduated at Harvard College, 1769. At that time, the
names of the graduates did not occur on the college catalogue, as
now, in alphabetical order; they were arranged, perhaps, with
some reference to scholarship, but with more regard, probably, to
the social standing of the parents. Hence the name of Theophi
lus Parsons, whose talents and scholarship were of t]jie first order,
stands the eighth in the class of 1769, while that of Elijah Fletch
er appears near the bottom.
He was the second minister of Hopkinton, N. EL, where he was
ordained Jan. 27, 1773. In his parish he found a poor boy,
named Samuel Webber, of good native talents, whom he pre
pared for college, and otherwise assisted iu obtaining an educa
tion. Webber graduated at Harvard College in 1784 ; soon rose
to distinction as a scholar; was Professor of Mathematics and
Natural Philosophy in Harvard College from 1789 to 1806, and
President of the. college from 1806 till his death, July 17, 1810.
He was the author of a Treatise on Mathematics, which for sev
eral years was a classic in some of the New England colleges.
" President Webber ever felt and acknowledged his obligations
to his early instructor and friend."
Mr. Fletcher died in office at Hopkinton, April 8, 1786, aged
39. His widow Rebecca married Rev. Christopher Paige, born
at Hardwick, Mass., June 12, 1762; graduated Dartmouth Col
lege, 1784; was ordained pastor at Pittsfield, N. H., 1789; after
wards preached at various places in New Hampshire, and died at
Salisbury, N. H., Oct. 12, 1822, aged 60. His wife Rebecca died
July 9, 1821. His mother died at the age of 102.
The children of Rev. Elijah Fletcher were :
762. Bridget (Fletcher), b. 1774; m. Josiah White, of Pittsfield, N. H.
763. Rebecca (Fletcher), b. 1777; m. Hon. Israel W. Kelly, of Salis
bury, N. H. She died in Concord, N. H., 1853.
764. Grace (Fletcher), b. about 1780; m. May 29, 1808, Hon. Daniel
Webster, b. in Salisbury, N. H., Jan. 18, 1782, son of Ebene
zer and Abigail (Eastman) Webster. The name of Daniel
Webster is one which the country can never let die, and the
world will long echo his praise. He graduated at Dartmouth
College in 1801 ; read law with Hon. Thomas W. Thompson, of
Concord, N. H., and afterwards with Hon. Christopher Gore, of
Boston ; was admitted to the bar there in March, 1805 ; began

practice at Boscawen, April, 1805 ; removed to Portsmouth in
September, 1807 ; was a representative in Congress from 1813
to 1817 ; removed to Boston in 1816 ; was again representative
to Congress from 1823 to 1827; U. S. senator from 1827 to
1839, and again from 1845 to 1850 ; was Secretary of State from
1841 to 1842, and again from 1850 to 1852. The splendid argu
ments made by him in the case of the Knapps at Salem, and
of Webster in Boston, and the inestimable service rendered
his country in the negotiation of the Ashburton Treaty, can
never be forgotten. Dartmouth justly boasts of him as the
most eminent of her sons, and the country rejoices in him as
unsurpassed among her statesmen. Mrs. Grace Webster, his
wife, died in the city of New York, Jan. 21, 1828. He after
wards married, at New York, Dec. 12, 1829, Caroline Bayard
Le Roy, daughter of Herman Lo Roy, of New York city.
He died at his adopted home in Marshfield, Mass.,* Oct. 24,
1852, aged 70. The children of Hon. Daniel and Grace (Fletch
er) Webster were :

Boston, January, 1817.
766. Daniel Fletcher (Webster), b. in Portsmouth, July 23, 1813.

Josiah Fletcher (Bridget Richardson? Zachariah? Josiah?
Josiah? Ezekiel1), second son of Timothy and Bridget (Richnrd-
son) Fletcher, of Westford; born there, Oct. 19, 1749; mar
ried  .
He was a soldier of the Revolution, and was in the battles of
Bunker Hill, White Plains, Bennington, and Ticonderoga.! In
1781, he removed to Cavendish, Vt., and soon after to the adjoin
ing town of Ludlow, of which he ' was one of the first settlers,
and where he died, Feb. 27, 1825. He was a devoted Christian,
and held various civil offices.

* He came to Marshfield in 1832. He was fond of owning land, and at length
came to own 1500 acres. He was also fond of good cattle, and had a very large
number. He set out a great number of trees which in 1874 yielded lauo bar
rels of apples. A Mr. Weston took care of his place.
t There was not, strictly speaking, a battle of Ticonderoga, at least not dur
ing the Revolutionary war. I here follow the Fletcher Genealogy. The com
piler of that work probably intended the military operations which led to the
capture of Burgoyne.

He was a deacon of the First Church in Chelmsford from 1797
till September, 1803, when he removed with his family to Lynde-
borough, N H. From Lyndeborough they removed to Merri
mack, N. H., where he died, Nov. 17, 1814, aged nearly 52.
Their children, all born in Chelmsford, were:
775. John (Farmer), b. June 12, 1789; never married.*
*John Fakmeb. born June 12, 1789, the eldest of the above children, was
the distinguished Autiquaby. He was eminent above all men of his time, at
least in this country, for an exact knowledge of facts and events embraced in
the history of New Hampshire, and even of New England. He was strictly a
self-made man. Fond of books from childhood, and especially fond of histor
ical research, he was also familiar with the literature of the day. From six
teen to twenty-one he was assistant or clerk in a store in Amherst, N. H.
Finding this employment too arduous for his health, which was always feeble,
he left the store in 1810, and engaged in school-keeping, in which he excelled.
In 1821, he removed to Concord, N. H., and in connection with Dr. Samuel
Morril opened an apothecary store. He had already become known as an an
tiquary, and had published two or three small historical works; but from this
time he pursued his unpretending but most useful labors with great zeal, dili
gence, and success.
The most important and valuable of his works is a "Genealogical Register
of the First Settlers of New England," 8 vo. pp. 351, issued in 1829, 3 wonder
ful monument of patient industry. He also compiled a Gazetteer of New
H ampshire, in connection with Jacob B. Moore, a New Hampshire Annual
Register, anew edition of Belknap's History of New Hampshire, with many
corrections and additions, very much improved from the original work, and
many smaller works. He died in Concord, M. H., Aug. 13, 1838, in his forty-
ninth year. His memory is greatly honored.

daughter of Jesse Smith, of Pelham, N. H.
He graduated at Harvard College, 1797, and received the de
gree of LL. D. from Dartmouth College in 1827. He was for a
time principal of the academy in Groton, Mass. He studied law
with Hon. Samuel Dana, of Groton, and was for a season asso
ciated with Judge Dana in the practice of law. He was post
master in Groton from 1804 to 1812. While a resident in Groton
he was twice elected from the Middlesex District a member of the
United States House of Representatives, to wit, in 1811 and
1813 ; taking part with the administration of Mr. Madison in
those exciting times. In 1814, he resigned his seat in Congress,
and removed to Portsmouth, N. H., where he resumed the prac
tice of his profession.

POSTERITY OF EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 115
He was the author of the " New Hampshire Justice and Town
Officer." The following notice of Judge Richardson was fur
nished by a gentleman well acquainted with him, and thoroughly
competent to the effort of preparing it.
In 1816, he was appointed Chief Justice oe the Supreme
Court of New Hampshire, which office he continued to hold during
the remainder of his life, twenty-two years. He did more for the
jurisprudence of that State than has been accomplished by any
other judge.
With him began the first published reports of judicial decisions,
and his opinions extend through the first nine volumes of the
N. H. Reports. As a judge he was noted for his quickness of ap
prehension, his ready application of common-law principles, and
his perfect integrity. He had not access to large libraries, but
added to a strong common sense he had a fine general culture,
and a profound knowledge of the English Common Law. His
numerous opinions are generally short and are based on ac
knowledged principles rather than authority. He used to rally
his associate, afterwards Chief Justice Joel Parker, upon the
length of his opinions.
They were both learned lawyers, and had the greatest respect
and affection for each other. When obliged to publish dissenting
opinions Judge Richardson would say, " Well Parker, no matter
who is right, everybody will adopt my opinion rather than take
the trouble to read yours." He wrote his own opinions for the
reports, and superintended the publication of the volumes. He
was always prompt in his affairs, so that his opinions delivered at
his last term before his death were found ready for the printer.
His readiness to admit anr error of opinion is remembered now by
the older members of the bar. He had no false pride of opinion,
but often would remark on opening the court in the morning, " I
think I was wrong in my ruling yesterday, and on consideration
will rule the other way."
A graduate of Harvard, he kept up his taste for literature, and
especially for languages, both ancient and modern, through life.
He was a good Latin and Greek scholar, and after he moved to
New Hampshire acquired the Spanish and Italian languages so as
to make their literature his common reading for evening amuse
ment. He had a taste for poetry, and in early life indulged in
writing poems on various occasions. He possessed a fine taste for
music, and played the bass-viol and sang with his family and the
neighbors who happened to be present. His "fiddle" as he called
it, was made by his brother, Gen. Samuel M. Richardson, who was
also a musician and amused his leisure by manufacturing these
instruments for his friends. His dockets, in which he took notes
of trials in court, are interspersed with musical notes of favorite
tunes, with or without the words, sometimes several lines. He
took very few notes of evidence, trusting mostly to memory, and
occupied the time when the trial was tedious in thus writing
music. The Judge was also a botanist and left quite an extensive her-

116 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
barium arranged and classified by his own hand. He took much
interest in his garden and especially in flowers, of which he had a
good collection.
He was no sportsman, but used often to drive with his children
to Massabesic pond and fish from a large rock on the bank. Oc
casionally he went bee-hunting in the woods and was very much
interested in the principle of that sport, which is that honey bees,
whenever caught, will strike a "bee-line," i. e. a straight line, for
the hive, usually in a hollow tree.
He had some peculiar notions about what we, most of us, con
sider the comforts of life. He would not have a stove in his
house, and open fire-places were the only means of warming a
large, cold dwelling. His office was nearly as cold as out-of-doors,
and the writer has often shivered over the law-books in the
Judge's office, when the ink would freeze on the table and had to
be kept on the hearth. He drove his long circuits, in his chaise
or sleigh, 150 miles or more, with no gloves or mittens, till a few
years before his death, when his daughters insisted on his taking
with him some additional protection. They thought he really
suffered with cold, though he insisted he did not.
There is no portrait of him, but there is one of his brother, the
General, whom he much resembled. He was a large, fine-looking
man, perhaps five feet ten or eleven inches in height, with keen
dark eyes, quite near-sighted, quick in his motions and speech,
and rather abrupt though never rude in his manner. On his re
turn from court after an absence of weeks, he would open the
door, and to the affectionate salutations of his family his first re
mark would be, "Tell Ben to take care of the horse," and no feel
ing was wasted in embraces or salutations. Yet he was kind and
generous and affectionate in his somewhat puritanic way.
In religion he preferred the Episcopalian forms, but there was
no such church at Chester, and he attended the Congregational
meeting, and was on terms of intimacy with Rev. Jonathan
Clement, the pastor, who was a man of high attainments. He
rarely spoke of his own religious views, or, indeed, of himself in
any way. He hated all shams and pretences, and having no mean
traits himself, he maintained in all about him a high tone of honor.
He purchased the farm of Benjamin Brown,* in Chester, N. H.,
in 1819, and removed to Chester the same year. He was fond of
music. In November, 1831, he and others formed a " Chester
Musical Society," with corporate powers.
He died in Chester, N. H., March 15,1838, aged 64 years, 4
months. A discourse at his funeral, March 26, 1838, by Rev.
Jonathan Clement, was printed.

?Benjamin Brown came from Newbury. He was a long time in partnership
with Henry Sweetser, in Chester. They did a large business, much of it on
credit. To secure themselves they took farms in pay. He died 1818. His son,
Rev. Francis Brown, D. D., born Jan. 11, 1784; graduated Dartmouth College
1805; married Elizabeth Gilman, daughter of Rev. Tristram Gilman, of North
Yarmouth, Me., Feb. 4, 1811; was President of Dartmouth College from 1815
to 1820; died July 27, 1820. [Chase's History of Chester, N. H., p. 479.]

Oct. 16, 1775. After his death, she became the wife of Abel
Webber, July 2, 1788.
They lived in Pelham, N. H. He died, intestate, July 13, 1784.
Administration on his estate was granted July 20, 1785, to widow
Judith and Benjamin Coburn, administrators.
Their only children of whom I have information are :
+853. Nehemiah,7 b. Feb. 11, 1777 ; m. Rebecca Herrick.
854. Rhoda,7 b. Oct. 23, 1784; m. Daniel Gage, Nov. 15, 1808.

Ezekiel Richardson6 (James? James? Thomas? James?

1761 ; married, first, Betsey Coburn, Feb. 22, 1787 ; second,
Dolly Littlehale, Nov. 25, 1790.
They lived in Dracut. He died there, 1801, aged 40. Parker
Varnum, Esq., was appointed administrator of his estate, May 14,
1801. An inventory of his estate was exhibited in court, by Par
ker Varnum, the record says May 12, 1801, but this is evidently
a mistake ; it is probably the date of the inventory. The home
stead farm, in Dracut, adjoined the line of Tyngsborough, and
was valued at $833 ; two cows, $38 ; other personal estate, $7.20.
The widow Dolly married John Butterfield ; published April
18, 1808. Ezekiel Richardson appears to have had two sons :
855. Joseph.?
856. Ezekiel,7 m. Sybil Marsh, Feb. 3, 1820. She was living in Pel

He appears to have removed to Royalston, in the north-west
angle of Worcester County. In his will — unless we mistake the
man — dated April 18, 1818, proved Jan. 1, 1822, he mentions wife
Elizabeth and children, Daniel, Betsey, and Lucinda. [Worces

James Richardson 6 (Philip? James? Thomas? James? Eze

Their children, recorded in Dracut, perhaps born in Pelham, were :

Thomas Richardson6 (Thomas? James? Thomas? James?
Ezekiel1), son of Thomas6 and Rebecca (Reed) Richardson, of
Westford, Mass.; born there, about 1750; married, first, Abigail
Spalding, Nov. 28, 1774 ; second, Lucy Spalding (probably),
about 1780.
He lived, 1778, in the easterly part of Dracut. He appears,
also, to have lived in Pelham, an adjoining town, and to have
married a second wife, Lucy, probably daughter of Peter and
Lucy (Richardson) Spalding j"233£]. We so judge because Lucy
Richardson was appointed administratrix of Thomas Richardson,
of Pelham, April 19, 1786.
The persons whose names follow are entered on the Westford
records as children of Thomas and Abigail Richardson :
866. Thomas,? b. March 9, 1770.
867. Abigail,7 b. June 13, 1772.
868. Jesse,7 b. Jan. 3, 1773.
869. Willard,7 b. March 13, 1774.
870. Hannah,7 b. Jan. 23, 1776.
Several of these dates are palpably erroneous, but to set them right
is beyond my power.

[See 227.] Bridget's mother died June 30, 1808, and her two
children were among the heirs in the settlement of her estate.
Second, Frances Poor, of Andover, May 15, 1783. Her name
in the record of her children's births appears as Fanny. They
were married by Rev. William Symmes, minister of the North
Parish, in Andover.
He was a shoemaker and a farmer. He lived in Westford, and
died of old age — so the record — Feb. 1, 1846, aged 90 years and
10 months.
His children, all born in Westford, by first wife, Bridget, were :

Abijah Richardson6 (Thomas? James? Thomas? James?
Ezekiel1). I place this man here, because I think he belongs
here. I find no record of his birth, nor am I perfectly sure who
his father was; but he certainly had the sons whose names follow.
I obtain their names and parentage from the Westford town rec
ords, and the probability is strong that this Abijah was the broth
er of Wiley Richardson,6 and son of Thomas Richardson,6 of
Westford. He was born about 1760 ; married Elizabeth  ;
and he probably died before the commencement of this century.
The probate records afford no light on the subject.
Abijah and Elizabeth had these sons :
881. William,7 b. 1782; unm.; was a pauper; d. in Westford, Oct. 9,
1847.

bridge, Mass., July 10, 1785 ; married, 1811, Mary Pierce Leach,
of Jay, Maine. She was born in South Bridgewater, Mass.
He removed in childhood, with his father's family, from Cam
bridge to Jay, Maine, in 1793, when it was in a rude, uncultivated
state. In his youth, 1805, he attended the academy in Fryeburg,
Me., and boarded with his aunt Weston [337]. In 1858, his
granddaughter, Julia Arnott Reade, attended the same institu
tion, boarded in the same house, with the same family, occupied
the same room, and used the same Latin dictionary, that had been
used by him fifty-three years before.
He lived in Jay till 1818, when he removed to Monmouth, Me.,
where he resided twenty years. His chief motive in thus remov
ing was to have his children in the excellent academy there. He
was always deeply interested in the cause of education. He was
engaged in mercantile business most of the time, but at length,
in Auburn, was engaged in pursuits of agriculture. He was a
justice of the peace, and one of the selectmen of the town many
years. His honesty and uprightness were proverbial.
He died in Auburn, Me., 1865, aged 80. On his headstone is
sculptured, "An honest man's the noblest work of God." His
widow is still living in Auburn, 1874, at the age of 84.
She was descended, on the mother's side, from Robert Calfe or
Calef of Roxbury, who died April 13, 1719. He had a son Robert,.
who was a merchant in Boston ; he married Margaret Barton, Dec.
23, 1699. They had eight or more children, most of whom died
young. Their daughter Margaret married  Starr, and had
four or more children. A daughter or granddaughter of this Mar-

ters of Luke Leach, who came with his family from Bridgewater,
Mass., about the year 1801. His wife was Molly Starr, sister of
Rev. Robert and Judge James Starr. The Starrs, as already
stated, are descendants of Robert Calef, of Boston, who so tri
umphantly exposed the witchcraft delusion of 1692.

*Robert Calef, merchant of Boston, was a man of great ability, clear dis
cernment, and high moral courage. His name has descended to posterityi for
the able and decisive manner in which he exposed the absurd proceedings
against pel-Sons accused of witchcraft. The story is too long to be repeated
here, but may be found at length in Upham's Salem Witchcraft, Vol. ii. es
pecially pp. 461,2, also in Drake's History of Boston, p. 568.

Prudence Richaedson7 (Samuel} David? Josiah? Josiah?
Josiah? Ezekiel1), sister of the preceding, and daughter of Sam
uel 6 and Prudence (Wood) Richardson ; born in Dracut, April 21,
1809; married, Nov. 30, 1841, Bev. William Walker, born in
Vershire, county of Orange, Vermont, Oct. 3, 1808, son of Aaron
and Judith Walker, who afterwards settled in Milton, Wisconsin.
Mr. Walker graduated, Amherst College, 1838, and at the Theo
logical Seminary, Andover, 1841.
Prudence Richardson studied at the academies in Bradford,
Mass., at Pembroke, N. H., at Ipswich, Mass., and at the Mount
Holyoke Female Seminary, South Hadley, Mass. She was con
verted to Christ in a revival, 1827, at tho age of eighteen ; and
was a teacher for some time previous to marriage.
She and her husband embarked, Dec. 6, 1841, a week after
marriage, in the schooner Herald, at Boston, to go as missionaries
of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to
the benighted people of West Africa. A mission among those
people had been commenced at Cape Palmas in January, 1834, by
Rev. John Leighton Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Walker, accompanied
by Rev. Benjamin Griswold, arrived at Cape Palmas, Feb. 3, 1842,
and joined Mr. Wilson. They all passed through the customary
attacks of the acclimating fever, which were rather mild; but a
third attack, which assumed tho typhus form, cut short Mrs.
Walker's missionary labors, on the third day of May, exactly
three months from the time of her landing.
Her sickness commenced April 23. For some days she was
supposed to be doing well. At three o'clock on the morning of
May 2d, the physician pronounced her case utterly hopeless. Tlie
announcement of this to her did-not in the least disturb her. But
in a few minutes, the thought of home and friends rushed upon
her mind, and she exclaimed, "Oh my father and mother, broth
ers and sisters! " Prayer was offered at her request by Rev. Mr.
Wilson. She became perfectly calm, and her countenance was as
serene as the beautiful morning then just rising. Several prayers
were offered, and she herself prayed with great earnestness for
the children of the mission school. To her husband she said,
"Tell my parents and friends that I do not now, on my dying bed,
regret my coming to Africa. The time since I left America has
been the happiest of my life." Her chief concern was, lest her
early death should deter others from going to impart the blessings
of the gospel to that land.

144 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
At eleven o'clock a. m. she complained of cold, and it was evi
dent that the icy hand of death was upon her. After this she
suffered intense pain for two hours, but at one p. m. the pain left
her; she became unconscious, and at half-past four the spirit as
cended to God who gave it. '
The mission was, in 1842, removed to the River Gaboon, almost
under the equator. It has continued there to the present time,
but was, in 1870, transferred to the Presbyterian Board.
Mr. Walker has continued to labor in it, with praiseworthy zeal
and various success, I believe, till the present time. In 1845, he
married Zeruiah L. Shumway, a native of Oxford, Mass. She
died April 23, 1848. After her death he married Catharine Hard
castle, September, 1851.

POSTERITY OF EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 149
Van Meter (Flagg) French, of that place. He was, therefore, half
brother to Benjamin B. French, already noticed as the husband of
Chief Justice Richardson's second daughter, Betsey.
His mother's father was Josiah Flagg, Esq., who was an officer
of the Revolution, and son of Rev. Ebenezer Flagg, who was
born in Woburn, Oct. 18, 1704, and pastor of the Congregational
Church in Chester, N. IL, from 1736 to 1793 ; dying Nov. 14,
1796, aged 92. A daughter of Josiah Flagg, Esq., was Catharine
Gardner Flagg, who married William J. Folsom, a brother of
Hon. John Folsom, who kept the hotel on Massabesic Pond in
the west part of Chester, N. IL, well known to students of Dart
mouth College. These two brothers invented the first nail-cut
ting machine. [Chase's Hist, of Chester, N. H., p. 522.]
Henry F. French was educated at the academies in Deny and
Pembroke, N. H., and Hingham, Mass., not having a college edu
cation. He studied law with his father, who, as we have already
said, was a lawyer; and at the law school at Cambridge. He
was admitted to the bar, Aug. 14, 1835. He practiced law with
his father till the death ofthe latter in 1840 ; then at Portsmouth
one year ; then removed to Exeter, and held the office of solicitor
ten years from 1838; was bank commissioner 1848-1852; and was
a justice of the court of Common Pleas from August, 1855, till
August, 1859. He then opened a law office in Boston; removed
his family to Cambridge in 1860, and again removed it to Amherst,
Mass., in September, 1865. In June, 1865, he was elected the
first president of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. He re
sumed the profession of law in Boston in the spring of 1867.
Having a taste for agriculture, he purchased a farm in Concord,
Mass., on which he has continued to reside, while keeping a law
office in Boston. He has an extensive reputation as an agricul
turist; has been a contributor to several agricultural papers, and
made an agricultural tour in Europe in 1857.
Dartmouth College conferred on him the honorary degree of
A. M. in 1852. He was elected an honorary member of the Phi
Beta Kappa of Harvard College in 1861.

1233. Daniel Chester (French), b. April 20, 1850. He is by profession
a sculptor, has a natural genius for the art, and is now, Au
gust, 1875, pursuing studies of that kind in Italy. He has ac
quired a high reputation for his minute-man, a bronze
statue of heroic size, on the old battle ground at Concord,
Mass. It was modelled when he was but twenty-two years
of age. Ralph Waldo Emerson pronounces it the best single
figure in this country.
The following extract from the Springfield Republican, as cop
ied into the Boston Journal of March 13, 1875, and another from
the Concord Freeman of Sept. 4, 1875, will show what is
thought of the statue :
The Minute-man oe Concord. — The bronze statue of the
minute-man, now completed at the Ames Works in Chicopee, and
destined to mark forever the spot
Where once th' embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world,
will be readily accepted as a worthy example of American sculp
ture, and might even stand for the ideal embodiment of the
genius of the Revolution. Mr. French, one of the youngest and
freshest of our sculptors, and whose first ambitious work this
statue is, ought to be at home to see it unveiled before his towns
men and the inheritors of the minute-man's great legacy; for on
that occasion he could not fail to gain what he merits, the peo
ple's honest praise and recognition of his genius.
The statue is of course of heroic measure ; somewhat more
than seven feet in height, generously proportioned, and is to be
elevated upon a fine pedestal of granite. It represents a young
man turning at the hurrying call ofthe messenger from his labors
in the field, and instantly ready for duty. His left hand rests a
moment on a handle of his abandoned plow, across whose upper
brace his coat is flung; his right hand grasps the old flint-lock
musket ; he rests on his left foot, while his right is just leaving
the ground behind — the whole attitude indicating a moment's
pause, as if to listen. The figure is attired in the traditional con
tinental costume, and will preserve its details for future ages.
The long waistcoat, caught by one button, the shirt, hitched up
loosely at the waist with toil, and with sleeves rolled carelessly
above the elbow, the breeches and the buttoned galligaskins, the
stout cowhide bjaots, the powder-horn, with its pine stopple, hung
by a strap over the shoulder, like a scarf of decoration, the soft
hat, cocked at one side — all add to the curiously vivid way in
which this statue brings one in neighborhood with the day and
the spirit it crystalizes in its enduring bronze.
For this minute-man of Concord is instinct with life and princi
ple. It is no ideal face, no countenance of form that would be at
home in other countries, but a thorough Yankee, that Mr. French

POSTERITY OF EZEKIEL RICHARDSON. 151
has given to immortality. The features are strongly marked and
bear the energy, the self-command,-the ready shrewdness, the im
mediate decision, and, above all, the air of freedom, that belong
to the New England face. The frame is stalwart, the shoulders
squarely held, the muscles of the bared fore-arms — the one. that
leans strongly on the plow, the one that strongly grasps the mus
ket — are tense and unencumbered by flabby flesh ; the great veins
stand knotted on the strenuous hands. The man is alive from
head to foot, and, indeed, we know not where there is better rep
resented the momentary pause of vigorous action than in this no
ble statue. An enviable fame, we are sure, will be insured to Mr.
French by a work at once so wholly American in conception and
so spiritedly achieved in detail.
The Minute-man. — A correspondent of the Exeter (N. H.)
News Letter, in a somewhat lengthy but excellent article on the
different classes of statues, concludes his contribution with the
following remarks on the Concord minute-man :
The object of the artist was to express in bronze, in the form
of a representative youth of the time, the spirit of the age of a
century ago, which gave birth to a new nation, and to memori
alize the first conflict of arms in the series of those which ended
in the establishment of national life, liberty, and independence.
A theme more noble has rarely fallen to the lot of an artist to
treat, and if he succeeds in giving expression to that spirit, and
utterance to that story, his ambition may well be satisfied, his
friends rejoice in his achievement, and the town, which has hon
ored itself by erecting this monument, may be congratulated on
possessing a sculpture of great merit.
In carrying out this intention, on what features of the spirit of
that age should the artist seize? What was so prominent in that
spirit as to characterize it and distinguish it from that of the ages
before, and which has been given to us as a legacy from the
fathers, which we were to keep, and the artist help us to perpetu
ate in our memory ?
It was an age of indomitable resolve, of unconquerable cour
age, of never-failing self-reliance, of ready self-sacrifice for the
public good, and crowning all these, a consecration of soul to
personal and public liberty. These all found utterance in the
event the artist has attempted to memorialize. And the result of
his labors is — the statue tells the story unmistakably, and we re
ceive from it an impress from the spirit of that other and better
age, which is to make this monument an educator and benefactor
of this age and those which are to follow. We say the story is
told unmistakably. It is recognized alike by the scholar and the
laborer, and each receives' from it the inspiration which it was the
high object of the artist to express. It is this which declares, in
terms no others can equal, the complete success which has been
attained. Without this, the perfection of proportion, the stalwart
beauty of form, the graceful action and pose of the figure, the
wonderful expression of life which pervades the whole, would

152 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
have left the work a failure. But these, added to the all but
vocal expression of the spirit and the story, constitute the " min
ute-man " a success in art of the highest order.

Hon. William Adams Richardson 7 (Daniel? Daniel? Wil
liam? Josiah? Josiah? Ezekiel1), brother ofthe preceding, and
second son of Hon. Daniel6 and Mary (Adams) Richardson; born
in Tyngsborough, Mass., Nov. 2, 1821 ; married, Oct. 29, 1849,
Anna Maria Marston, daughter of Jonathan Marston, of Ma-
chiasport, Me. His mother, as heretofore stated, was a daughter
of William Adams, Esq., who served in two campaigns of the
Revolutionary struggle.
He prepared for college at Lawrence Academy, Groton, and
graduated at Harvard in 1843. He studied law at the law school
of Harvard College under Judge Joseph Story and Professor Si
mon Greenleaf, and received the degrees of Master of Arts and
Bachelor of Laws in 1846, at the same institution. In 1846, he
entered upon his first official career — that of judge advocate of a
division of the Massachusetts militia, an office which he held four
years. He was admitted to the Boston Bar, on motion of John
A. Andrew, afterwards governor, July 8, 1848. He was aid-de
camp to Governor Briggs in 1850. After his admission to the
bar, he immediately entered on the practice of the profession, as
partner with his brother, Hon. Daniel S. Richardson, in Lowell,
and that city now became his home.
His admitted talents were early recognized by calls to fill sta
tions of honor and responsibility. In 1849, he was chosen to the
Lowell common council, also in 1853 and 1854, and was made
president of that body. In 1853, he was one' of the corporators
of the Lowell Five Cents Savings Bank ; was appointed one of
the trustees, and upon the finance committee.

154 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
His abilities as a financier were recognized by his appointment
of the Wamesit (now National) Bank, in 1859, which office he
held until January, 1867 ; also, with the exception of that time,
he was a director of the Appleton Bank, Lowell, from October,
1853, until he was appointed Secretary of the U. S. Treasury.
He held the important office of president of the Middlesex Me
chanics' Association two years, and exercised a controlling influ
ence in thoroughly reorganizing that influential institution.
In 1855, he was appointed to revise the General Statutes ofthe
Commonwealth, having as associates in this laborious work Hon.
Joel Parker and Andrew A. Richmond. This occupied a period
of four years, and resulted in the " General Statutes of Massachu
setts," enacted in 1859. The successful accomplishment of such
a work, involving the harmonious adjustment of a mass of mate
rials so complicated, can only be appreciated by an experienced
professional mind. The fidelity of this great work induced the
legislature, in 1859, to appoint the subject of this notice chairman
of the committee to edit the General Statutes, and in 1867, as a
work to be annually performed. At a subsequent session, he and
Judge Sanger were charged with the duty of editing a new edi
tion of the General Statutes and supplement, in consequence of
the destruction of the original plates in the great fire of Novem
ber, 1872. To this edition five or six thousand notes and refer
ences, not in the former edition, were added.
In April, 1856, he entered upon the duties of judge of probate
for Middlesex County, succeeding the Hon. Samuel Phillips
Prescott Fay, who died that year, after having held the office
thirty-five years. On the consolidation of the office of judge of
insolvency with that of judge of probate, in May, 1868, he was
appointed to the new position of judge of probate and insolvency,
being thus, in effect, judge of two courts at the same time. In
April, 1872, lie resigned the important trust, a period of sixteen
years from his first taking the office of judge of probate. During
his continuance in this office he brought order out of complete
chaos by a thorough revisal of the entire mass of old probate
blanks and probate practice.
Amid these multiplied demands upon his time, he was appoint
ed, in 1862, one of the trustees of Lawrence Academy, in Groton,
and by the legislature, in 1863, one of the overseers of Harvard
College, and again, under the'new law, in 1869, by the Alumni of
the college. In 1860, he found it necessary to remove his law
office from Lowell to Boston, and about the same time he changed
his residence to Cambridge.
In April, 1869, he was appointed and commissioned judge of
the superior court of Massachusetts, but declined the honor, from
having been appointed, by President Grant, in the preceding
month, Assistant Secretary of the U. S. Treasury. When this
appointment was offered him he was taken by surprise, and ac
cepted it at last with reluctance. Even after he had sustained
the office with distinguished honor, he repeatedly sought to es
cape by tendering his resignation, but it was never accepted. He

was also specially commissioned as Acting Secretary ofthe Treas
ury during any absence of Secretary Boutwell, and thus was
virtually for months Secretary of the Treasury.
In 1871, he was sent to Europe by Mr. Boutwell, then Secreta
ry of the Treasury, on a mission to negotiate the new govern
ment loan, sailing from New York June 14th of that year. He
was eminently successful in this at first very doubtful undertak
ing, having in one month obtained a favorable proposition from
leading bankers in London, which he telegraphed to this country.
Its acceptance was signified by the telegraph, and he remained in
Europe until the affair was consummated, delivering seventy-six
million dollars of the new five per cent bonds, receiving the
money for the same, and investing it in old six per cent 5-20
bonds, which were brought to this country and destroyed at the
treasury department. In this transaction thirty-five clerks were
employed in taking the new bonds to Europe, exchanging them
there, receiving and cancelling the old bonds, and bringing them
back for destruction. He deposited his receipts with the Bank of
England, where he had at one time to his credit personally six
teen millions of dollars, and was probably the largest depositor in
that great institution. In March, 1872, he returned home with
his entire force, and in a very short time his account was adjusted
at the department without the discrepancy of one dollar. This
was a remarkable thing, when we take into consideration the
vastness of the sums and the immense labor requisite to the care
ful scrutiny of each bond, the placing of each one in the - proper
schedule, and keeping an accurate account of the whole.
On the 17th of March, 1873, he was nominated and immediate
ly confirmed as Secretary of the U. S. Treasury. On the follow
ing day, he was sworn into this high and responsible office and
entered upon its duties, having since the election of Mr. Bout
well to the Senate acted as Secretary. In June, 1874, he re
signed the office of Secretary of the Treasury to accept a seat
upon the bench of the IT. S. Court of Claims, to which he had
been appointed. The honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was
conferred on Mr. Richardson, in 1873, by Columbian College,
Washington, D. C. During the summer and autumn of 1875, he
with his wife and daughter visited Japan and China, and made a
journey around the world.
Mr. Richardson has but one child:
1245. Isabel Anna,8 b. at Lowell, Dec. 21, 1850.

He was prepared for college at Phillips Exeter Academy;
graduated at Harvard College, 1850, and graduated from the law
school connected with that college in 1853, taking the first prize
of fifty dollars for an essay. At the outbreak of the Rebellion,
April 19, 1861, he raised a military company, called the " Rich
ardson , Light Infantry," whose officers were commissioned the
next day. " This company was the first to offer their services to
the State of Massachusetts for three years' service. They were
mustered into the U. S. service in Boston, May 21, 1861, and
sailed for Fortress Monroe the next day. On the 29th, they were
assigned to the regular garrison of the fortress. Their captain
was Phineas A. Davis, of Lowell. Among its members was Hud
son M. Richardson and Samuel M. Richardson, both of Lowell.
This company, being used to handling artillery, afterwards be
came the Seventh Massachusetts Battery of Light Artillery.*
Mr. Richardson's home is in Lowell. He was president of the
common council of Lowell two years; alderman, one year; may
or of Lowell, two years, being elected the second year without
opposition. He was a member of the board of school committee
four years, two of which he was chairman. He was a delegate to
the National Republican Convention at Chicago, 1868, which
nominated Gen. Grant as President of the United States. He
was a member of the Massachusetts Senate in 1871 and 1872.
Mr. Richardson has several children, as I am informed by a
kinsman of his, but a record of them I have not been able to ob
tain.

James Richardson i (James? James? James? Thomas?
James? Ezekiel1), son of James 6 and Sarah (Clark) Richardson;
born in Pelham, N. IL, May 15, 1773 ; married Betsey  .
He was a yeoman, and died, intestate, about 1832. At the re
quest of the widow Betsey, Jesse Gibson, of Pelham, gentleman,
was appointed administrator, Oct. 2, 1832. The widow's dower
was set off March 25, 1833 ; of course she was living at that time.
The estate was insolvent. Among the creditors were Solomon
Richardson, brother of the deceased, and Eliphalet Richardson,
his son.
The committee appointed to settle the estate reported that they
had notified all the heirs whose places of residence were known
to them; but others lived in places unknown. [Hillsborough
Prob. Records, xxxvii. 135 ; also, xl. 36.]
* I give these statements as I received them. There is a manifest and glar
ing error in the statement that "they were mustered into the U. S. service
Mav 21, 1861." Doubtless it should be April. The company above spoken of
was Company G, of Lowell. They sailed from Boston' April 18th, in connec
tion with the third regiment, though not belonging to it, and arrived at Fort
ress Monroe April 20th. This regiment became a part of the garrison there
April 22d. The Company G was assigned to that duty May 27th.

her recommendation, Jesse Gibson, of Pelham, was appointed admin
istrator, Nov. 7, 1837. Among the creditors were Solomon Richardson

16, 1811; married Betsey S. Bumpus, Feb. 23, 1846. She is,
without doubt, a descendant of Edward Bompasse (originally
bonpas, a fortunate step, or bonne passe, a good condition), a
French Huguenot, who arrived at Plymouth in the ship Fortune,
Nov. 10, 1621, and joined the colony there. This ship brought
over Robert Cushman and thirty-five others, with supplies, to the
great joy of the suffering pilgrims, who arrived a year previous,
and were now in great want. Bompasse easily slid into Bumpus.
Edward W. Richardson resides in his native town, Jay, Me.

Mary Salina Richardson " (Josiah? Edward? Edward? The

and Mary Pierce (Leach) Richardson, of Jay, Maine ; born there,
May 23, 1814; married, 1836, Dan Reade, born 1812, seventh son
of Dan Reade, Esq., who came from Attleborough, Mass., his na
tive place, to Lewiston, Me., in the early days of the town last
named. His mother was Susanna Hart, born in Durham, Maine.
Dan Reade, the father, was the first schoolmaster, the first post
master, the first town-clerk, the first justice of the peace, the first
selectman, and the first representative ever chosen in the town of
Lewiston, Maine.
Dan Reade, the son, suffered from ill health, when a boy, and
was, therefore, unaccustomed to manual labor. He " kept store "
a number of years, and became a sort of speculator. He has ac
quired some property, and likes fine horses. He has been agent
for several parties at a distance, and is a smart, capable man. He
never smokes, never uses profane words, and has not tasted of in
toxicating liquors these forty years. He enjoys good health, and
is always cheerful. His residence is now Auburn, Me., formerly
Danville, on the Androscoggin River, and opposite Lewiston.
His wife, the principal subject of this notice, is a capable, active,
cheerful, and well-educated woman. She suffers much from bad
health, and though she writes much, is often obliged to write in a
recumbent posture. She is nervous, impulsive, and wide-awake.
She has written for the papers since she was fourteen years old.

166 • THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
She has a talent for poetry, and in her younger years published a
small volume of poems. Her fugitive pieces are frequently seen
in print, and are read on public and festive occasions. She has
corresponded with several eminent writers. She is, in religious
sentiment, a Unitarian, like her father. She has taken a lively
interest in this Richardson Memorial, and has rendered the
compiler very important assistance.
One of Mrs. Reade's minor poems follows this notice :*
She has but one child :
1335. Julia Amett (Reade), b. Feb. 15, 1843; m. F. C. Goodwin, a mer

*The following effusion of Mrs. Reade's muse appeared originally in the
Lewiston Journal. SPRING-TIME.
BY MES. MARY SALINA BEADE.
Though old as our earth is the spring-time,
Its coming brings charms ever new,
We sing every year of its glories,
As if only now they were true.
A bird or a bud is as welcome,
As if bird or bud ne'er before
Had brought to our senses sweet fragrance —
Or fornrd one of nature's grand choir.
The first golden crocus that greets us,
Refresh d by its long winter night,
Brings back the glad, youthful emotion,
Which gave to our childhood delight.
Though Spring has been coming and flitting,
Since Chaos took form at His voice,
It finds us still ready with welcome —
With hearts all prepared to rejoice.
To us who are watching and waiting,
The first blade of grass is a ray
Of beauty from glory that's coming,
To brighten and perfect the day.
This page of a new evolution,
Is ilhimin'd with bright symbols so fraugh
With truth, that we read all unaided,
The lessons the spring-time hath brought.
Bright Spring will be coming and going,
When we are done watching to see
The first blade and bud— but unfolding
For us brighter glories will be.

son of Matthew and Clara (Merrill) Allyn, of that place.
She lived in Franklin County, Me., till 1850, then being nine

four years and a half, when at the date above given, Nov. 9, 1865,
he was killed by the fall of a tree, and she was left a sorrowing
woman. This took place in Jackson, Wood County, Ohio. He
was a farmer, and she had the estate to settle ; but as she could
not manage the farm, she moved into the village, and engaged in
dress-making, having previously learned the trade. Her little son,
John Charles Fremont • Edgar, born Dec. 4, 1862, was a great
comfort to her.
With her present husband, Phineas Allyn, she now, 1873, lives
in Traverse City, Mich. In a letter, dated Nov. 2, 1873, she says

they have a model berry farm. That year they made two tons of
red raspberry jam for one firm in Chicago, and think they can
make double that quantity the following year. She also says, in
reference to her second marriage : " I feared I was becoming sel
fish. I thought I ought to be doing more good, and knew of no
better way than in becoming a mother to those motherless chil
dren of Mr. Allyn. They are good children, and as devoted to
me as they could be to an own mother. My husband, too, is all
I could wish. His history is very interesting."

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 183

POSTEEITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON.
iFtrst Obturation.
1551.
Samuel Richardson,1 the second of the three brothers of that
name who united in the settlement of Woburn, was born in Eng
land, not far from the year 1610. We do not know in what year
he came to- this country. Possibly he came with his elder brother,
Ezekiel, in 1630, though this is not at all probable. A list of fifty-
eight men, inhabitants of Charlestown, dated Jan. 9, 1633-4, is
found on the records of that town. Among them is the name of
Ezekiel Richardson, but not of Samuel or of Thomas, his broth
ers. ' A similar list was made out, January, 1635-6, in which Eze
kiel appears, but neither of his brothers. The first notice we find
of Samuel is dated July 1, 1636, when he and his brother, Thomas
Richardson, with others, were on a committee to lay out lots of
land for hay. In 1637, the names of Samuel and Thomas Rich
ardson first appear in a list of inhabitants of Charlestown. The
same year the town of Charlestown granted to each of them a
" house-plot," clearly indicating that they had recently become
residents in the place. These two brothers were admitted mem
bers of the church there, Feb. 18, 1637-8, in consequence of
which they were made freemen of the colony, May 2, 1638.
Samuel was chosen surveyor of the highways, March 17, 1636-7.
Putting all these things together, it amounts to a certainty,
that while Ezekiel arrived in June or July, 1630, his younger
brothers did not come till 1636. Ezekiel may have been twenty-
five or thirty on his coming. Samuel was probably four or five
years younger.
The three brothers had lots assigned them, April 20, 1638, on
" Misticke side and above the Ponds," that is, in Maiden, and
their names, among others, appear as persons having the privi
lege of pasturing cows upon the Common, Dec. 30, 1638.
On the 5th of November, 1640, the three brothers and four
others, Edward Convers, Edward Johnson, John Mousall, and
Thomas Graves, were chosen by the church of Charlestown 'as
commissioners or agents for the settlement of a church and town,
within what were then the limits of Charlestown, but soon after
erected into a separate town, and called Woburn. That whole
territory was then a wide, uncultivated waste. In the February
following, the commissioners built' a bridge over the Aberjona

184 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL
River, as the Mystic River is called, north of Mystic Pond. This
bridge was known in after times as Convers' Bridge, from Edward
Convers, the proprietor of the adjacent mill. He lived in the im
mediate vicinity, in the first house built in Woburn. His de
scendants lived there, or in that vicinity, and the entire locality
is now in the heart of the town of Winchester.
When the church was constituted in Woburn, Aug. 14, 1642,
O. S., Samuel Richardson and his two brothers, with John Mou
sall, Edward Johnson, Edward Convers, and William Learned,
solemnly stood forth, as the nucleus around which the church
was to be gathered.
The three brothers lived near to each other, on the same street,
which has ever since been known as "Richardson's Row." It
was by the town laid out as a street in 1647, and the three Rich
ardsons are in the town book represented as then living upon it.
It runs almost due north and south, in the north-eastern part of
the present town of Winchester, but a short distance east of the
Boston and Lowell Railroad, and now constitutes a part of
Washington Street, in the town last named. The three brothers
lived near the present line of Woburn. Cellar holes are stiR
pointed out to designate the sites of their houses. Samuel lived
near the present abode of his descendant, Luther Richardson,
now living, but a short distance north from the present village of
Winchester. That Ezekiel, Samuel, and Thomas Richardson were brothers
appears from the will of Ezekiel Richardson, in which he " dis
charges all demands between his brother Samuel Richardson and
himself, and gives to Thomas Richardson, son of his brother
Thomas, ten shillings." It also appears from a quitclaim deed of
forty acres of land, from Samuel Richardson, dated March 27,
1657, to "my sister Susanna Richardson, now Brooks, during her
life-time, and then to my cousin [i. e., nephew], Theophilus Rich
ardson " [Midd. Deeds, ii. 72], and moreover from the boundaries
of said forty acres, which are " south by Samuel Richardson,
north by Thomas Richardson, our brother," etc. [Midd. Deeds,
ii. 154.] This deed further determines the relative position ofthe
houses and farms of the three brothers, that Samuel lived nearest
to the present village of Winchester, Thomas on tbe north, near
Woburn line, and Ezekiel midway between them.*
Samuel Richardson was selectman of Woburn in 1644, 1645,
1646, 1649, 1650, and 1651. In 1645, he paid the highest tax of
any man in Woburn ; Capt. Edward Johnson the next.
*" The Richardsons," says Rev. Mr. Sewall, in his History, "have always
been the most numerons family in Woburn. On the province tax list for both
parishes [the second parish is now Burlington] in 1769, out of 330 resident
maies taxed, there were 42 Bichardsons, 27 Wymans, 16 Reeds, and 24 Joh?'-
sons, making 109 persons of those four names; a number, which, within a tri
fle is equal to one-third of all the males then taxed." Again, he says of the
three brothers, Ezekiel, Samuel, and Thomas, " Their descendants, bearing the
name of Richardson, long have been, and still are, more numerous than per
sons of any other name in Woburn, and among them have been found some of
the most valued membeVs of the church and citizens of the place." [Hist, of
Woburn, pp. 71, 635, 636.]

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 185
His wife was Joanna  . It should have been mentioned
that she united with the church in Charlestown, on the 9th ofthe
7th month, or Sept. 9, 1639.
He died, intestate, March 23, 1658. The inventory is dated
March 29, 1658. His widow Joanna and eldest son, John, were
appointed administrators. [Midd. Prob. Rec, i. 142.] Lieut.
John Wyman, of Woburn, was appointed guardian of his sons,
John and Joseph, June 25, 1658.
The will of Joanua Richardson, widow of Samuel, is dated
June 20, 1666. She probably died soon after, though the will
was not proved till 1677. It is recorded Midd. Prob. Rec, iv.
122. She gives her real estate to her eldest son, John, and sons
Joseph, Samuel, and Stephen, and her clothing to her daughter
Elizabeth. She mentions Mary Mousall as her daughter.
The children of Samuel and Joanna Richardson, born in Charles
town, were :

evidently copied. The same error crept into Bond's Watertown Genealogies,
p. 910. Mr. Sewall says also that their son Pierson was born Sept. 29, 1674. I
follow the Woburn record and the transcript made by Mr. Sewall for the town.
If Pierson was born "22d of 7th month, 1673," as on the Woburn record, his
parents, if honest people, must have been married in 1672.

Joseph Richardson,2 brother of the preceding, and second
son of Samuel Richardson,1 was born in Woburn, July 27, 1643;
married, Nov. 5, 1666, Hannah Green,2 born about 1647, daugh
ter of Thomas 1 and Elizabeth Green, of Maiden.
Thomas Green, her father, was born in England, probably
about 1606. He came to this country probably before 1640;
lived in the north part of Maiden, now the town of Melrose; was
selectman in 1658, and died Dec. 19, 1667. For a further history
of him and his numerous descendants, see the Green Family, in
the Vinton Memorial, by the compiler of this volume.
Joseph Richardson dwelt in Woburn ; was admitted freeman
of the colony, May 15, 1672, and was therefore a member of the
church. He was one of Major Samuel Appleton's soldiers, and
was engaged in the fierce assault on the Narraganset fort, Dec.
19,1675. In that severe encounter six brave captains fell, and
eighty privates were killed. He was a selectman of Woburn,
1693, 1694, and 1702.
He died in Woburn, March 5, 1717-18. His will is dated June
24, 1717 ; proved April 22, 1718; recorded Midd. Prob. Rec, xv.
143. He provides very carefully and liberally for his "well-
beloved wife Hannah," and, among other things, that his son
"Joseph shall find her a horse, and keep the same for her use, and

a man or himself to ride before her on Sabbath days, or where she
shall have occasion to go, all during her natural life, if she re

of Billerica. She was slain, with her only child, scarce a week
old, by the Indians, April 10, 1676. Third, Nov. 7, 1676, Phebe
Baldwin, born Sept. 7, 1654, daughter of Dea. Henry Baldwin,1

Fohrth, Sept. 8, 1680, Sarah Hayward, born 1655, daughter of
Nathaniel Hayward, of Maiden. She survived her husband, and
died Oct. 14, 1717, aged 62. The name was sometimes pro
nounced and written Howard. She died about 1717, as her will
has that date.
Samuel Richardson lived upon what has recently been called
the Miller farm, on Richardson's Row, less than a mile north of
the present village of Winchester. He was a soldier in " Philip's
war," 1675. In the afternoon of April 10, 1676, he was employed
in carting manure into his field, accompanied by his son Samuel,
a boy between five and six years old. Looking toward his house,
he was surprised at seeing feathers flying about it and other
tokens of mischief within. He also heard the screams of his
wife. Apprehending that Indians might be there, he hastened
home with his gun, and there found two of his family murdered,
viz., his wife Hannah, who had lately been confined, and his son
Thomas, twin brother to him who had been with him in the field.
On further search, it was found that the infant, only a week old,
had been slain by the same ltithless hands. The nurse, it ap
peared, had snatched it up in her arms upon the alarm of danger,
and was making her escape to a garrison house in the vicinity;
but so closely was she pursued by the savages, that, finding she
could not save herself and the babe too, she let the babe drop,
and the Indians dispatched it at once. Mr. Richardson now ral
lied some of his neighbors, who went with him in pursuit of the

enemy. Following them some time, they espied three Indians
sitting on a rock, fired at them, killed one, and drove the others
away. [Sewall's Hist, of Woburn, p. 119.]
During this war, which lasted from June, 1675, to August,
1676, the whole country was in continual fear and alarm. No
man was safe in his own dwelling. Asleep or awake, at home or
abroad, they were in constant jeopardy. The movements of the
Indians were secret and unobserved; they lurked about in small
parties, often of only two or three, as in the instance just referred
to, and came upon the people unawares. They concealed them
selves behind fences, crept into barns and other out-houses ; they
lay in wait in the night before a man's door, ready to shoot him
as soon as he appeared in the morning. No age or sex was
spared. Twelve or thirteen towns in Massachusetts, Plymouth
Colony, and Rhode Island were Utterly destroyed, and the in
habitants slaughtered or driven away. Other towns were greatly
damaged. About six hundred dwelling-houses were consumed
by fire. About six hundred of the inhabitants, in great part the
flower and strength of the land, either fell in battle or were ruth*
lessly murdered* Such a dark day, New England never saw be
fore or since.
Samuel Richardson died April 29, 1712, aged 66. His will is
dated Feb. 23, 1709-10 ; proved May 19, 1712; recorded Midd.
Prob. Rec, xiii. 68. He mentions wife Sarah, eldest son Samuel,
daughter Elizabeth Wyman, wife of Jacob Wyman, son Zacha

Lieut. John Wyman 1 and his brother Francis Wyman,1 were among the first
settlers bf Woburn, 1641. They were tanners by occupation, church members,
and persons of much respectability and worth. Francis Wyman was admitted
freeman of the colony, May 6, 1657. Their names are often found associated
in Iggal writings. They owned together five hundred acres of land at ¦'Shaw-
sheen" [Billerica] in 1655. John Wyman was selectman of Woburn, 1666,
1667, and 1673. Francis Wyman was selectman of Woburn, 1674, 1675. A
numerous posterity has sprung from them. Francis Wyman died Nov. 30,
1699, aged 82. John died May 9, 1684. Lieut. John Wyman, and his eldest
son, John, born March 26, 1648, both took part in the great Narraganset fight,
Dec. 19, 1675. The father was wounded, and the non was killed. The son was
in Capt. Prentiss' troop of horse. The son married Mary Carter, daughter of
Rev. Thomas Carter. John and Francis Wyman were, with one exception,
the largest landholders in Woburn.

married, Oct. 22, 1680, Susanna Davis, born May 11, 1662,
daughter of George and Sarah Davis. George Davis died July 4,
1667. He was probably of Woburn, and a son of Nicholas Davis,
who came from England in the Planter, in 1635, aged 40, with his
wife Sarah, aged 48, and his nephew, William Locke, then a boy
of six years old. Mr. Nicholas Davis was a man of property, and
was active in the settlement of Woburn. After 1646, he removed
to York, where he died about 1670. But William Locke con
tinued in Woburn ; married Mary Clark in 1655, and became the
ancestor of the Locke family. See " Book of the Lockes," by John
Goodwin Locke.
The mother of the wife of John Richardson, and widow of
George Davis, was Sarah Rist. She made her will in 1697, in
which are found bequests to her daughters, Susanna Richardson,
Hannah Boutelle, Sarah Cole, Mary Damon, to her sons John and
Benjamin, and son-in-law, Timothy Wiley.
John Richardson 8 was a carpenter, and lived in Woburn. He

*3o says Thomas B. Wyman, in General Reg., Vol. hi, p. 35, but it seems to
be an error. John Coggin's father married Sarah Wyman.
fRebecca Wyman, in the text, had three sisters, who all rparried Richard
sons. Her sister Abigail married Jonathan, brother of Thomas in the text.
Esther married Reuben Richardson [1669], Lydia married Oliver Richardson,
brother of R*uiben.
Thomas Richardson, in the text, was in "Lovewell's Fight," at Pigwacket,
May 8, 1725, O. S., and was one of the nine who escaped unhurt. Some ac
count of this remarkable encounter will not here be out of place.
During the war with the Abenaquis or Eastern Indians, from 1722 to 1726,
the government of Massachusetts, for the protection of the frontiers, offered a
bounty of one hundred pounds for Indian scalps and captives. In pursuance
of this encouragement, Capt. John Lovewell, of Dunstable, with a company
of volunteers, undertook three expeditions; one in December, 1724, one in
January and February, 1725, and the third in April and May, 1725. They were
under a commission from the government of Massachusetts, to which Province
Dunstable then belonged.
About the 16th of April, 1725, Capt. Lovewell, with forty-six men, left
Dunstable on the third expedition. They went up the Merrimack River, and

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 199
He passed a long life in Woburn. He died there Jan. 12, 1774,
aged 93. [Gravestone.] His wife, Rebecca, who was a grand
daughter of Matthew Johnson, whose father was Capt. Edward
Johnson, author of the " Wonder- Working Providence," " the
father of Woburn," died April 11, 1771, aged 78. [79, gravestone].
His will is dated Nov. 8, 1771. In it he makes bequests to the
children of his son Thomas, late of Worcester, deceased, viz. :
Peter of Shrewsbury, who was over fourteen in 1760, etc. To
the children of his son Eleazar, deceased. To his son Ralph, of
Sutton. To his sons Ebenezer, David, Israel, and Lemuel, of
Sutton. To Jonas, Thomas, and Sarah Richardson, of Shrews-

its main branch, the Pemigewasset ; and, when well up the latter stream, ap
pear to have struck off eastwai-d through the present town of Moultonborough
to Ossipee Lake. At the locality just named, a man, Benjamin Kidder, of
Nutfield [Londonderry], being taken sick, they halted, constructed a rude
fort, for a place of refuge, if needed, and left the sick man, with the surgeon,
and eight others, with a considerable amount of provision, in the fort. This
reduced their number to thirty-four, including the captain; two others, from
disability, having been left at Contodcook, now Boscawen.
The names of the men who now went forward, and took part in the fight,
are these, Capt. John Lovewell, Lieutenants Joseph Farwell and Jonathan
Robbins, Ensign John Harwood, Sergeant Noah Johnson, Robert Usher, and
Samuel Whiting, all of Dunstable; Ensign Seth Wyman, Corporal Thomas
Richardson, Timothy Richardson, Ichabod Johnson, and Josiah Johnson, of
Woburn; Eleazer Davis, Josiah Davis, Josiah Jones, David Melvin, Eleazer
Melvin, Jacob Farrar, and Joseph Farrar, of Concord; Jonathan Frye, of An
dover, Chaplain; Sergeant Jacob Fullam, of Westpn; Corporal Edward Ling-
field, of Nutfield, now Londonderry ; Jonathan Kittredge and Solomon Keyes
[pronounced Kies], of Billerica; John Jefts, Daniel Woods, Thomas Woods,
John Chamberlain [who killed Paugns, the Indian chief], Elias Barron, Isaac
Lakin, and Joseph Gilson, of Groton; Ebenezer Ayer, and Abiel .Asten, of
Haverhill. Four grandsons of Major William Johnson are here included.
They soon came to the head-waters of Saco River, thirty miles or more from
then- fort at Ossipee, and reached a pond or lake in the present town of Frye
burg: by the side of which they encamped. The Pigwacket or Pequaket [In
dian] villages were now near at hand.
Early in the morning of Saturday, May 8, while at prayers, they heard the
discharge of a gun ; and soon saw an Indian on a point of land running into the
lake, about a mile distant. The Indian, they supposed, was placed there for a
decoy. Marching toward the Indian, some of the men fired upon him. He
returned the fire, and the first shot mortally wounded Capt. Lovewell. En
sign Seth Wyman then fired, and killed the Indian.
Some delay now took place while the company were looking for their packs,
which had been left in the rear, and covertly removed by the Indians. About
ten o'clock in the forenoon, a large body of Indians rose, in two parties, in
front and rear, and with a hideous yell, ran toward the English with arms
presented. The English also presented arms, and ran to meet them. The cap
tain being dead, and the two lieutenants soon after disabled by wounds, the
command now devolved on Ensign Wyman for the remainder of the day.
The fight was maintained with great obstinacy and resolution on both sides;
and continued, with but little intermission till sunset, about ten hours. The
Indians had every advantage, being supposed to be seventy, some say eighty
in number, and enclosing the English both in front and rear. The latter, at
the outset, were but thirty-four, all told, and of this number nine were slain,
soon after the fight began. But the Indians suffered the most; forty of them
were killed on the spot; eighteen more died of their wounds, and ODly twelve
escaped injury. Of the thirty-four whites who engaged, in the conflict only
nine escaped unhurt, viz. : Ensign Seth Wyman, and Thomas Richardson, of
Woburn, Daniel Melvin, Eleazer Melvini, and Joseph Farrar, of Concord, Jo
seph Gilson, of Groton, Ebenezer Ayer and Abiel Asten, of Haverhill, and
Edward Lingfield, of Londonderry. Nine were badly wounded, viz. : Timothy
Richardson and Josiah Johnson, of Woburn, Noah Johnson and Samuel
Whiting, of Dunstable, John Chamberlain, Isaac Laken, Eleazer Davis, and
Josiah Jones, of Concord, and Solomon Keyes of Billerica. Some of these

were made invalids or cripples for life. Ichabod Johnson, of Woburn, a son of
Capt. Edward Johnson, of that part of Woburn which is now Burlington,
was killed; aud the blow gave the fond father a shock which brought him to
his grave three months after, viz. : Aug 7, 1725.
Some of those who escaped the carnage suffered extremely from hunger,
having scarcely tasted food from Saturday morning till Wednesday night on
their arrival at Dunstable. The ten men who had been left at the fort quitted
it on Sunday morning, being frightened by the report which was brought to
them by Benjamin Hassell, who, seeing that the English were greatly out
numbered, deserted his companions at the very beginning of the battle, and
went to their homes, leaving the exhausted, wounded, suffering men who came
out of the fight, to take care of themselves.
Those who left the fatal battle ground were twenty in number, of whom
eleven were badly wounded, and two died of their wounds before reaching
any place where their wounds could be dressed.
Woburn, and the whole country, was in mourning for the precious lives lost
in this encounter. But the power of the Indians of New England never recov
ered from the disaster they here sustained. [From Sewall's History of Wo

son of John 2 and Hannah (Green) Vinton, of Maiden. The
marriage ceremony was performed by James Russell, Esq., justice
of the peace, as was common in those days.*
Mr. Vinton — often called Captain Vinton — was a man of sin
gular ability, energy, and activity, and became a leader in every
place where his lot was cast. He resided successively in Maiden,
Woburn, Reading, Stoneham, and Dudley. He spent the princi

1708 and 1709, of Woburn ; then lived in Stoneham, in the
south-east part of the town, near the outlet of Spot Pond. In
November, 1738, he sold his farm in Stoneham, containing two
hundred and seventy acres, for £2,550 in bills of credit,t and re
moved to Dudley, then a new town, incorporated February, 1731.
* The Vinton family came originally from France. No documentary evi
dence exists of the fact; the circumstances of the case did not allow of such
proof, but the unvarying tradition of the family points to such an origin.
Such a tradition exists not 'only in this country, as I learned more than half a
century ago from my aged relatives, but also in England. A letter from a
gentleman of the name in England testifies to the same tradition as existing
among the Vintons in that country, transmitted to him from his grandfather's-
grandfather. John Vinton, of Lynn, my first American ancestor of the name, had a son
Blaise, born in 1654. Beyond all possible doubt, it establishes the fact that
the family had a French origin. No man of English blood would ever give
this name to his child.
The family fled from France in the evil hour of persecution; precisely at
what time is not known, but it must have been long before the Revocation of
the Edict of Nantes, 1685. It was probably during the reign of Ehzabeth,
queen of England, while the fires of persecution were raging on the continent.
t This was now a depreciated currency The real value was about 2,000 sil
ver dollars. About the same time, CUpt. Vinton bought 800 on 900 acres of
land in Dudley, doubtless as a provision for his sons. A, further account is •
contained in the Vinton Memorial, p. 22 et seq. The name is common now in
Dudley.

are on record in the Middlesex Registry at East Cambridge, in
which he was either grantor or grantee. In twenty of these in
stances land was conveyed to him.
He was active in procuring the incorporation of Stoneham,
1725. He advanced more money and did more than any other
man to obtain the act of incorporation. He was one of the first
board of selectmen, and served in that responsible office six years,
between 1726 and 1735. He was commonly called to preside in
town-meetings as moderator. He was placed on almost all impor
tant committees. At one town-meeting he was placed on four
committees. He was representative of the town in 1734. This

Major Josiah Richardson4 (Joseph? Joseph? Samuel1), sec
ond son of Joseph 8 and Mary (Blodget) Richardson ; born in
Woburn, Jan. 12, 1701-2 ; married, Oct. 23, 1728, Experience
Wright, daughter and heir of Benjamin Wright, then of Sud
bury, but previously of Woburn.
Benjamin Wright, her father, was born in Woburn, March 14,
1688, the youngest child of Dea. Joseph and Elizabeth (Hassell)
Wright. Joseph Wright was a son of Dea. John Wright, one of
the founders of Woburn, 1641 ; a selectman of that town, 1645,
and many years afterwards. Dea. Joseph Wright, grandfather of
Experience, was a selectman of Woburn, 1670, 1673, 1692, and a
deacon of the church from 1698, or before, till his death, March
31, 1724, at the age of 85. He was the father of eleven children.
At what time his son, Benjamin Wright, removed to Sudbury we
are not informed.
Josiah Richardson, in the record of his marriage, is said to be
" of Chelmsford," which we take to be a fact. His eldest son,
Gideon, was born there. The Middlesex County records give his
marriage as taking place in 1738, a manifest and glaring error.
He lived nearly forty years in Sudbury, and was a man of
much note there. He was a major in the militia, and possessed
of some property, as the following abstracts will show.
Josiah Richardson, Esquire, of Sudbury, and Cornelius Ward
[the name is obscurely written, it may be Wood], of said Sud
bury, were, in 1769, a committee of the proprietors of a township
six and three-fourths miles square, on Androscoggin River, in
Cumberland County. [Cumb. Deeds, vii. 159, 316.] The town
ship here referred to was granted by the legislature of Massachu
setts in 1768, and was long known as Sudbury-Canada, now the
town of Bethel, Me.
Charles Richardson, of Sutton, in the county of Worcester,
gentleman, gave to "his kinsman" [his brother], Josiah Richard
son, of Sudbury, gentleman, all the right, etc., that the grantor had
or derived from a deed received from Peter King, alias Rice, in or
to a township, granted to a number of proprietors, on the An-
•droscoggin River, in Cumberland County. The deed is dated Jan.
17, 1772. [Cumb. Deeds, xi. 398.]
Josiah Richardson, of Sudbury, sells his entire right in lot No.
37, in the township of Sudbury-Canada, to Jonathan Clarke.
[Cumb. Deeds, xi. 406.]
He died August 30, 1770. His will, dated July 28, 1758, was
proved Nov. 20, 1770. The inventory of his estate is dated Aug.
31, 1770, amount £421 9. 8.; and his death must have taken place
the very day before. In the will he describes himself as of
Sudbury, gentleman. He expresses a hope in the mercy of God,
through the merits of Christ. He gives to wife Experience the ,
improvement of one-half of his real estate; also gives her "my
negro girl, named Dinah," and one-half of his personal estate.

216 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
He gives to his only son, Josiah Richardson,* all his wearing
apparel, desk, armor, tools, and implements of husbandry ; " my
seal-ring and my cloak, and one-half of my books, and my negro
man, Francis Benson," etc.
He gives his granddaughter, Experience Richardson, the
daughter of Gideon Richardson, " my son, late of Wells, clerk,
deceased, the sum of sixty-seven pounds, lawful money, and the
other half of my personal estate." And he requires that "the
said granddaughter be brought up to the age of eighteen years
out of my estate in a handsome and decent manner."
Before his death, viz. : Aug. 30, 1770, apparently the very day
of his death, he declared in the presence of John Jones and Mary
Jones, that he gave to his wife his negro boy Caesar, who was born
after he made his will [probably Dinah's son]. After the death
of the widow Experience, this negro boy was to be the property
of his son, Josiah Richardson.
The children of Josiah and Experience Richardson, were,

Johnson, who was a son of Capt. Edward Johnson, "the father
of Woburn."
Reuben Richardson lived in Woburn 'till 1734, when he re
moved to Stoneham, an adjoining town, and took up his residence
on its,western border, near Woburn line, on the spot where the
large two-story house now stands, formerly owned and occupied
by his descendant, Captain William Richardson, and now by the
widow of the latter. He was chosen constable, March 1, 1742;
" owned the covenant," and was baptized, Aug. 5, 1744. His wife
was previously a church member. He was chosen selectman,
*He calls Josiah his only son— being the only son then living. Gideon had

nnd it in the wilderness; clear of any prior claim. Fifty years passed before
the town did any thing in relation to the location of this grant. In 1717, it was
located in the present town of Lunenburg. This land, after further delay,
was sold in 1734, to Israel Reed, of Woburn for £3,300 in bills of credit, a de
preciated currency, which was loaned to individuals, but kept on in a course
of depreciation, till in 1772, it became a total loss. See under [1572]. See

Samuel Richardson4 (Samuel? Samuel? Samuel1), eldest
son of Samuel 8 and Susannah Richardson ; born in Woburn, Sept.
15, 1704; married Mary  .
It appears that he left his native town of Woburn early in life,
for we find him taxed in Exeter, N. H., July 16, 1729, and from
that time till May 27, 1740 ; after which it does not occur. The
tax in 1729 was eleven shillings ; in 1740, it was fourteen shillings.
His name does not occur among the deeds of Rockingham County,
* Hannah Locke in the text had a brother Samuel, born Aug. 24, 1702, whose
wife was Rebecca Richardson,- born July 14, 1710, a daughter of Capt. James
Richardson,8 who was a grandson of Thomas Richardson,1 one of the founders
of Woburn, 1641. This Samuel Locke kept a hotel in Lancaster, and was the
father of Rev. Samuel Locke, D. D., born Nov. 23, 1731, president of Harvard
College from March, 1770, to December, 1773. He was a line scholar, but the
victim of "untoward circumstances."

long he lived there does not appear. He was by occupation a

An inventory of his estate is dated March 7, 1769, which is a
statement, in effect, that he died not long before. He owned some
real estate ; how much does not appear. A settlement of his es

one, being eight in number, petitioned, March 3, 1743, to be an
nexed to Worcester. This was effected by a vote of the general
court on the 5th of April following.
His will, dated March 23, 1759rproved May 2, 1759, and re

He was of Middleton, 1779 ; was taxed in Andover, 1780-1.
He died in Woburn, Oct. 31, 1798. In his will he left his proper

These four children, in 1798, after the death of their father, gave a
deed of some property to Job Miller and his wife Sarah [see above].
The deed was recorded, 1815, among Midd. Deeds, vol. ccxii. This es
tablishes the fact that they were children of Jonathan Richardson,4
of Woburn. A posterity have descended from those children, a record
of whom I have been unable to obtain. This remark applies in many
other cases.

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 229
Ebenezer Stone,8 father of Mindwell Stone, was a man of note
and consideration, both in the town and province; selectman, ten
years; representative, nine years, and of the executive council.
He was a son of Simon Stone,2 born in England, 1631, who came
with his father, Dea. Simon Stone,1 from England, 1635.
Jonathan Richardson and family lived in Newton till 1768, or
later; after that year, they removed to Whitestown, N. Y. Such
is the statement in Jackson's History of Newton. But if he ever
set foot in Whitestown, it must have been after June, 1784, when
the first white settler, Hugh White, from Middletown, Connecti
cut, arrived in that place, then but lately relieved from the in
roads of savage Indians. To remove to that region [Oneida
County and vicinity], now so flourishing and populous, contain
ing a million and a half of inhabitants, was then attended with
hardships and dangers, of which we can scarce have any idea.
I cannot avoid serious doubt as to our Jonathan having gone to
Whitestown, being unable to find his name in a copious history
of Whitestown and of Oneida County, now before me.
The children of Jonathan and Mary Richardson were,

Hazeltine, of Billerica, Feb. 20, 1732-3. They were married in
Billerica by Rev. Samuel Ruggles. The record of his marriage
describes him as of Chelmsford.
He was a farmer in Dracut, afterwards in Pelham, N. H. He
seems to have removed in 1738 ; but he might have lived in
both towns without any removal. There had been a long and
exciting controversy between the provinces of Massachusetts and
New Hampshire about their respective boundaries, which was at
length decided, in 1741, by the Privy Council of England, in
favor of New Hampshire. This decision cut off from Massachu
setts portions of Haverhill, Dracut, and Methuen, which had al
ways been considered as belonging to it. The portion taken from
Dracut has since constituted the town of Pelham. March 2,
1754, Henry Richardson was still living in Pelham.

ardson, " both of Pelham," his interest in the same land. [Rock

married, first, Sarah  . She died Deo. 19, 1754. Second,
Mary  .
He was a physician, and lived in Pelham, N. H. His will is
dated April 26, 1765; we find it in the Rockingham probate rec
ords at Exeter. The will provides for wife Mary, and appoints
his sons Eli and Joseph executors. The name Eli is a mistake
of some copyist; the real name was Fri. The testator died Jan.
20, 1766, aged 55. His children were :
+2114. Eri,6 ft. about 1740 ; m. Sarah Durant.
2115. Sarah,6 b. April 13, 1743; a maiden in 1766.

Jonas Richardson4 (Stephen? Stephen? Samuel1), brother of
the preceding, and son of Stephen8 and Susanna (Wilson)
Richardson, of Billerica; born June 27, 1712; married Mary
Cutting,4 born in Sudbury, 1717, daughter of Hezekiah,8 grand
daughter of James,2 and great-granddaughter of Richard Cut
ting,1 who, at the age of eleven years, came from Ipswich, in
England, and settled in Watertown in 1634, and died March 21,
1695-6. [Bond's Watertown Genealogies, p. 194.]
The time of his marriage is not known, but it must have been
after his settlement in Attleborough, and probably' about 1740.
He lived in East Attleborough, and was one ofthe original mem
bers of the church in that place — the second in Attleborough —
which was constituted Nov. 30, 1748, O. S.
In the record of the birth of his children, as sent to me from
Attleborough, his name is given as Henry, which is certainly a
mistake, probably in copying, for he had a brother Henry, living
in Pelham, N. H. [1751].
The children of Jonas and Mary (Cutting) Richardson were :
2118. Mary,5 b. Aug. 8, 1741.

Timothy Richardson, of Kittery, Maine.
Whose son he was I have not been able to discover, but it ap
pears almost certain that he was one of the Attleborough Rich
ardsons, and a cousin to that other Timothy Richardson who was
a son of Timothy4 [1785], and the husband of Alice Wyman.
His name occurs in sundry conveyances of land ; and he married
Mary Staples, daughter of James Staples, of Kittery, Maine.
May 25, 1741. Timothy Richardson, of Kittery, husbandman,
bought of Robert Brooks, of Biddeford, three-quarters of an acre
of land with a house on it, in Kittery, bounded in part by Piscata
qua River. [York Deeds, xxiii. 30.]
Sept. 2, 1749. Timothy Richardson, yeoman, of Kittery, and
wife Mary, sold to Benjamin Stacy, of Kittery, the ninth part of
sixty acres of land in Berwick. Said sixty acres is part of one
hundred acres set off to James Staples, etc. [York Deeds, xxviii.
157.] From this deed and the next, it appears that the wife was Mary
Staples, daughter of James Staples.
Aug. 13, 1755. Timothy Richardson, of Kittery, laborer, and
Mary, his wife, Catherine Fernald, of Portsmouth [her sister], and
Samuel Staples, of Falmouth, sold lo John Shapleigh, gentleman,

* What is now Stoneham, was, until Dec. 17, 1725, known aB "Charlestown
End," because it constituted the extreme northern part of Charlestown.

and Joseph Staples, yeoman, both of Kittery, " all the right they
had in two-thirds of the estate of their father, James Staples, of
Kittery, deceased." [York Deeds, xxxiii. 1.]
Other documents confirm what is stated above. His will is
dated Nov. 16, 1786 ; proved April 1, 1793. He must have died
in the interval. Wife Mary is executrix with son Joseph.
So far as the compiler can discover from the documents in his
possession, Timothy Richardson, of Attleborough, removed to
Kittery, in Maine, in the summer of 1741, after having bought a
house and some land there. Not long after, he married Mary
Staples, daughter of James Staples, of Kittery.
His children were ;
2136. Timothy,6 b. 174- ; bought sixty-seven acres of land in Wells,
Sept. 15, 1773. [York Deeds, xliii. 223. | Lived in Wells and
was living at the date of his father's will, Nov. 16, 1786, and
there called the eldest son.
2137. Joseph,6 b. about 1743: was executor of his father's will, 1786.
Made his own will April 30, 1798; proved Aug. 30, 1798, giv

of Lebanon, York Co., Me. Hence it is evident that he had
neither wife nor children. He lived in Lebanon, Me.

Jonas Richardson4 (Francis? Stephen? Samuel1), son of
Francis8 and Sarah (Houghton) Richardson; born in Attlebor
ough, July 11, 1714.
I suppose it was he who married Esther Wellman, Oct. 5,
1749 ; although the Attleborough record, as copied for me, says it
was Thomas Richardson. But I think, indeed I am sure, there
was no Thomas Richardson in Attleborough at that time, and in
the careless way in which town records were then kept, it was
easy to substitute Thomas for Jonas.
The children of Thomas [Jonas] and Esther, as reported to me,
were :
+2143. John,6 b. Aug. 14, 1750; m. Ruth Woodcock.
2144. Amos,6 b. Oct. 6, 1755.

born in Woburn, Nov. 12, 1717, second daughter of Timothy
Wyman,8 born April 5, 1691, who was eldest son of Timothy,2
who was third son of Francis Wyman.1 For the Wyman Fami
ly, see under No. [1557].
He lived in Attleborough. His children's births are recorded
there from 1738 till 1756. The record, however, as copied, is
faulty ; his wife's name in one place being given as Allace Wy
man, in another place as Alice Wilmarth; neither of which is
correct. The children's names and dates of birth were as follows,:
2159. Alice,6 b. March 24, 1739.

Hezekiah Richardson6 (John? John? John? Samuel1), only
son of John4 and Eunice (Roberts) Richardson, of Woburn;
born there, Oct. 19, 1709 ; married, first, 1748, Rebecca Fuller,
of Woburn ; published Oct. 29, 1748. Second, 1759, Hannah
Hancock, of Stoneham; published April 1, 1758.
He lived and died in Woburn, and must have died early in
1776, since administration on his estate was granted Feb. 25,
1776. Children by first wife, Rebecca:
2189. Eunice,6 b. Sept. 1, 1749; m. David Hadley, of Medford, March
16, 1769.
2190. Sarah,6 b. Dec. 15, 1751 ; living and unm. in 1776.
By second wife, Hannah :
2191. Abiathar,6 b. April 15, 1759. The record of his birth says 1769,
which must bo a mistake for 1759. He was a person non com
pos mentis, inheriting the misfortune from his grandfather.
His father was his guardian while he lived, but after the
death of the father guardians were appointed over him, viz. :
James Steel and John Bucknam, of Stoneham. Their bond
is dated Oct. 8, 1776. At that time he was about seventeen
years old. He died 1782, and Jeduthun Richardson, Benja
min Edgell, and Nathan Richardson, all of Woburn, were
appointed administrators of his estate. [Midd. Prob. Rec]

1804.
Ebenezer Richardson6 (Timothy? John? John? Samuel1)
eldest son of Timothy 4 and Abigail (Johnson) Richardson ; born
in Woburn, March 31, 1718; married, 1740, Rebecca (Fowle)
Richardson, born Nov. 21, 1706, daughter of Capt. John and
Elizabeth (Prescott) Fowle, of Woburn, and widow of Lieut.
Phineas Richardson,8 who died April 11, 1738. For Phineas
Richardson, see posterity of Thomas Richardson.1
That Ebenezer Richardson married this woman, though much
older than himself, is rendered certain by a law-suit. [See court
files.] She died about 1783.
On the twenty-second day of February, 1770, this man, then
residing in Boston, made himself unpleasantly notorious. The
British Parliament, in June, 1767, passed an act imposing duties
on glass, paper, painters' colors,, and tea, imported into the colo
nies. As Englishmen in England paid no duty on these articles,
it was thought that Englishmen in America were entitled to the

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 243
same privilege. The act being therefore regarded as a direct in
vasion of the liberties of the colonies, the merchants of Boston,
in the October following, entered into an agreement not to im
port or sell any of the above-named articles. In this measure
they were sustained by the citizens of Boston in town-meeting
assembled. The movement had the sympathy and encourage
ment ofthe province in general, and of New York, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, South Carolina, and the other colonies. They also had
encouragement and sympathy from several of the leading states
men in England.**
A strict adherence to the non-importation agreement was con
sidered essential to the liberties of America ; but there were four
merchants of Boston, who, after entering into it, determined no
longer to abide by it. For this conduct, they were, at a town-
meeting held October, 1769, by name declared enemies to their
country, and as deserving to be treated as such. Their names
are still on the Boston records as infamous.. Thus they found
themselves exposed, in no ordinary degree, to the public scorn.
Even the boys in the streets, as they passed their doors, pointed
at them with words of contempt. Their names were John .Ber
nard, Theophilus Lillie, John Mein, James McMasters & Co. I
regret to say two women, Anne and Elizabeth Cummings, were
involved in the same infamy. John Bernard was a son of Francis
Bernard, the late governor. Thomas and Elisha Hutchinson,
sons of the lieutenant governor, were also of the number. To
give the greater effect to this proscription, posts were by the boys
planted before their doors, with a hand affixed pointing at them
in derision.
One of these men, Theophilus Lillie, having been thus assailed,
Ebenezer Richardson, a neighbor and confederate of his, endeav
ored to persuade a teamster, who was passing, to drive his cart
against the post to break it down; the teamster refused. A
crowd soon gathered; the boys chased Richardson to his house —
it was at the north end of Boston, not far off; bricks and stones
were thrown at the windows. Richardson, provoked, fired at
random into the crowd of boys, dangerously wounding one of
them, Samuel Gore, and mortally wounding another, Christopher
Schneider, a poor German boy, eleven or twelve years of age,
who died the next m'orning. This was on Feb. 22, 1770.
The excitement was intense. The funeral of the boy was at
tended by "all the friends of liberty;" the coffin was covered
with appropriate inscriptions ; five hundred children, in couples,
walked in front of the bier; six of the boy's playmates held the
pall; his relatives followed; after them came thirteen hundred
inhabitants on foot; chaises and chariots closed the procession.
Boston seldom, if ever, witnessed a more impressive spectacle.
The first blood had been shed ; the first martyr to liberty had
fallen. Thoughtful persons asked, " Where will this end ? "
* Barry's Hist, of Mass., vol. ii. p. 391. Bancroft's Hist, of U. S., vol. vi. p.
272 et seq.

244 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
The affray at John Gray's ropewalk, March 2d, on Atkinson
Street, soon followed, and the " Boston Massacre," March 5, 1770,
soon added to the general excitement, and prepared the people
for a forcible and bloody resistance of the wrongs they were suf
fering. Richardson, on the 20th of April following, was tried on a
charge of murder. A verdict of guilty was rendered. It was
murder and nothing else. Richardson, "though provoked, was not
at all endangered. The chief justice, Thomas Hutchinson, re
fused to pronounce sentence, being strongly committed to the op
pressive measures ofthe British ministry. Richardson, after lying
in prison two years, was, on appHcation to the king, pardoned
and set at liberty.*
To reward Richardson for the service he had thus rendered to
the minions of arbitrary power, one of the ships from London
brought to him in April, 1773, an appointment as an officer of the
customs in Philadelphia.!
Richardson's business in Boston, at least a part of it, was to
give information to the board of customs, of merchants or others
who imported or sold articles on which duties had been imposed
by Act of Parliament. Consequently he and his like were ex
tremely obnoxious to the people. It was therefore prudent for
him, after his release from prison, to get out of the way as soon
as possible ; for there was an intention to give him a coat of tar
and feathers. Happily his ease, so far as I know, is wholly singu
lar in the Richardson family.
His children, born in Woburn, were :
2193. Rebecca,6 b. Aug. 4, 1741 ; m. 1762, Robert Homer, of Stone
ham; pubhshed Nov. 10, 1761. Children born in Woburn:

Bartholomew, born 1730, son of Jacob and Elizabeth, had priori

He kept the " Ark Tavern " in Woburn, half a mile north of

Dea. Pierson Richardson6 (Jabez? Pierson? John? Sam
uel1), son of Jabez4 and Mehetabel Richardson; born probably
in Woburn about the year 1750, though his birth is not recorded ;
married  .
He spent some years in Sterling, Mass., with his father, who
must have died not very long after the birth of this son, probably
1758. As Pierson Richardson had a son James, it is a pretty safe
inference that he was brought up in the family of Dea. James
Kendall, of Sterling, whose wife was Sarah Richardson, aunt to
Pierson Richardson. After coming of age, he married, but his
wife's name does not appear, and removed to Templeton, the part
which is now Phillipston, where he lived till his decease.
He was a yeoman and an able, energetic, enterprising man ; a
deacon of the church thirty or forty years, and a representative
to the general court.
Oct. 27, 1795. He bought of his cousin, Major James Kendall,
of Sterling, his right in the tenth and twelfth lots of land in the
thirteenth range in Waterford, Me. [Cumb. Deeds, xxiv. -204.]
His will is dated Dec. 8, 1838 ; proved October, 1840 ; recorded
Worcester Prob. Records, lxxxiv. 279. He therefore lived to the
age of 88, or nearly. As his wife is not mentioned in the will,
she must have died previously.

Lydia Richardson6 (Jabez? Pierson? John? Samuel1), sister
of the preceding and daughter of Jabez and Mehetabel Richard
son ; born in Woburn, July 25, 1754 ; married, first,  Wright ;
second, Capt. Israel Manning, of Sterling.
I suppose her father removed from Woburn to Sterling, then
the second or west precinct in Lancaster, Mass., two or three
years after her birth, and within a few years, probably in 1758,
died. Her mother, also, having died, she was brought up in the
family of Dea. James Kendall, of Sterling, the husband of two

at the ripe age of eighty-six. His memory is good, but he errs on one point,
confident that his mother's father was Pierson Richardson, whereas the Wo
burn records make him the son of Jabez and Mehetabel; which is altogether
more probable, as it is more consonant with the other known facts of the case.

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 249
He lived in Woburn. There being several of the name, he is
denoted on the Woburn records as "Bartholomew, senior," or
"Mr. Bartholomew," being the eldest of the name. It is said he
was a trumpeter at the taking of Quebec by the army of Wolfe
in 1759.* What is more certain is his remarkable antiquarian
taste and his large acquaintance with facts in the history of Wo
burn. Rev. Samuel Sewall, the historian of Woburn, acknowl
edges his obligations to him for very important services rendered
in aid of that valuable compilation. See his Preface, p. 6.
He died in Woburn, June 14, 1812, aged 82. His widow Sarah

Silas Richardson lived in Woburn, and died there in 1778, the

1749, Sarah Leathe, daughter of Francis and Sarah Leathe, of
Woburn. They were published July 21, 1749.
Though the births of tKeir children are recorded in Woburn,
the parents do not appear to have made that town their constant
residence. In the History of Haverhill, by Geo. Wingate Chase,
p. 342, mention is made of Capt. James Richardson's company,
and the names are given of thirteen Haverhill men belonging to
. it. The date is May 5, 1756, in the time of the " Old French
war." There can be no doubt that the captain was he whose
name heads this article.* On pp. 347, 355, 357, is the name of
Winslow Richardson, enrolled in military companies in Haverhill.
He was the son of a Woburn man.
I suppose that Capt. James Richardson afterwards resided in
Danvers, and died there about Oct. 1801.

ton, of Boston, probably a granddaughter of Timothy Thornton,
an eminent citizen of Boston, who lived at the north end, owned
a wharf on Ship Street, opposite Salutation Alley; was one of
the committee for emitting the " Bills of Credit " of the colony,
1690; selectman, 1693; representative in the General Court,
*The view here presented is confirmed by the fact that Susanna, a sister of
James Richardson, married James Russell, of Haverhill, 1749. He was a lieu

his twenty-eighth year, much lamented.
His widow Martha was appointed administratrix of his estate,
May 9, 1758. The inventory^dated April 30, 1759, amounted to
£184. 11. 1., in lawful money, liaving a specie basis, and consisted
wholly of personal estate. The account of the administratrix,
sworn to by her Dec. 6, 1761, left a balance in her hands of £71.

In the valuation made in 1798, in preparation for the United

1798, entitled " An Act to levy and collect a Direct Tax within
the United States," the house and outbuildings of Josiah Rich

in Sudbury were rated higher. Gideon's farm of thirty-three

Richardson's farm, one hundred and twenty acres, was rated at
$2,320. This, of course, was exclusive of the house and out

His will, dated March 16, 1818, mentions the children named
below as then living.

*The Kendall FaiIily, of Woburn.
I. Francis Kendall came from England, and is supposed to be the ances
tor of all bearing that name in New England. In what year he came over, we
are not informed; we find him in Charlestown, as one of thirtji-two men who
were intending to make a settlement in Woburn, 1641. He was taxed among
the earliest inhabitants of Woburn, 1645. His wife was Maev  . They had
nine children, of whom four were sons. The descendants of these children
are very numerous , and so far as I know highly respected.
II. Thomas Kendall was the second son, born in Woburn, Jan. 10, 1648-9.
His wife was Ruth, married 1673. They also had nine children. The second
son was :
III. Samuel Kendall, born in Woburn, Oct. 29, 1682. By his wife Eliza
beth he was the father of Jerusha Kendall, named in the text a3 the wife of
Reuben Richardson. She was the youngest of fifteen children, and was born
in Woburn, as already stated, Feb. 13, 1734-5. He was a carpenter by trade,
and extensively known as Lieutenant Samuel Kendall. He was a very ac
tive, enterprising, public-spirited man, often employed in town business. He
was selectman, 1746, 1747, 1748; au original proprietor of Townsend, and ac
tive in the settlement of Athol. To that place he and his family removed
about 1750, and while there suffered much trom floods, and from the depre
dations of Indians. All but one of his fifteen children lived to mature years.
Nine of them took up their abode in Sterling, Leominster, or Athol. [Sewall's

Lieut. John Geary, born Sept. 22, 1727, son of John and Eliz
abeth (Wyman) Geary, of Stoneham, who were married March
17, 1723. She was his second wife. The first wife was Susanna
Williams, of Lynn, probably Lynnfield; they were married in
1749* Lynnfield seems to have been his native place, for the Stone
ham church records contain this notice: "Dec. 31, 1747. John
Geary was dismissed from the church at Lynn-End [i. e., Lynn
field] and taken under ye watch of this church."
He was a man of property and influence ; was once, at least, a
selectman of Stoneham. His wife was a church member. She
died March 9, 1808, aged 75. He died Feb. 22, 1825, aged 97
years, 5 months. Their children were :
+2314. Benjamin (Geary), b. Sept. 1, 1767; m. first, Persis Danforth;
second, Betsey Parker.
+2315. John (Geary), b. Sept. 25, 1771; m. first, Elizabeth Morgan;
second, Hannah Rowe.
* The name is properly, and was originally, Geary, as found in this place.
It is supposed to be of Irish origin. The ancestor ofthe family in this coun
try was, it is said, Dennis Geary, who settled in Lynnfield, formerly a part
of Lynn, and then known as Lynn End, or Lynn District, until February,
1814, when it was incorporated as a town. Elbridge Gerry, governor of Mas
sachusetts, 1810 to 1812, was of this family. So, at a later period, was Gov
ernor Geary, of Pennsylvania.

Abel Richardson6 (Reuben? Joseph? Joseph? Samuel1),
brother of the preceding, and third son of Reuben 4 and Esther
(Wyman) Richardsom ; born in Stoneham, October 23, 1736 ;
married, Nov. 26, 1761, Mart Thompson, born July 19, 1738,
daughter of Jabez and Lydia Thompson, of Woburn.* He is
designated on the Woburn records as Abel Richardson, senior, or
Abel the first ; Abel the second being a son of Nathan 6 and Mary
(Peirce) Richardson [367].
He was a soldier in the " Old French war," 1756 to 1760, in the
neighborhood of Lake George ;f also in the Revolutionary war in
the year 1776.
He resided in South Woburn, within the limits of the present
town of Winchester. He had a grist-mill on the Aberjona River
in Winchester, within half a mile of the spot where this is written,
and where the great and constantly traveled road from Woburn
to Boston crosses that stream. Capt. John Symmes, of Medford,
and John L. Sullivan, of Boston, owned a mill privilege lower
down the stream, and raised their mill-dam, to obtain a greater
water-power. This interfered with Mr. Richardson's. rights ( as a
mill owner. He sued them for damages. There were several
lawsuits about it, which lasted ten years or more, and were not
finally settled tili 1820 or later. These suits were decided against
Sullivan and Symmes. {
When very aged, his hair, which had been of a silvery white,
began to assume a degree of color.
He died May 27, 1831, aged 95 years and 7 months. [Grave
stone.] His wife Mary died January 16, 1832, aged 93.
Their children were :
2316. Abel,6 b. Aug. 25, 1762; d. Oct. 18, 1764.
2317. Mary,6 b. Aug. 18, 1764 ; unm. ; had much skill and large expe

-f 2322. Isaac,6 b. Feb. 25, 1776; m. Elizabeth Hurd.
+2323. Enoch,6 b. Nov. 17,;.l779; m. Rebecca Mclntire.
*Her parentage is erroneously stated in " Vinton Memorial," p. 390. As given
in the text it is sustained by probate records.
She was a descendant from James Thompson, who was born in England
about 1593; came with his wife to New England, 1630; was of Charlestown,
1632; freemaD, 1634; one of the founders of Woburn, 1641; one of the first
board of selectmen in that town, 1644, and died in 1682. He had three sons,
Simon, James, and Jonathan.
From one of these sons, and probably from Jonathan, Jabez Thompson in
the text was descended. If so, he was a cousin of Benjamin Thompson, born
in Woburn, Nov. 27, 1729, father of Sir Benjamin Thompson, the famous Count
Rumford. The defective state of Woburn records prevents greater accuracy.
t In the Old French war, Massachusetts made the most strenuous exertions
to drive the French from Canada. She had annually five thousand five hun
dred men in the field; in 1758, seven thousand.

born March 10, 1743, daughter of Stephen4 and Mary (Sawyer)
Richardson, and granddaughter of Dea. Stephen8 and Bridget
Richardson.* He was a farmer, possessed a good property, and passed his life
in Stoneham. He resided in the house afterwards occupied by
his son Rufus, deceased, and destroyed by fire a few years since.
He was surveyor of highways, 1772 ; selectman, 1777 ; one of a
committee to hire soldiers for the army, 1778 ; one of a commit
tee to settle with Rev. John Cleaveland, Aug. 1794.f
He died after an illness of only twenty hours, April 4, 1814,
aged 75 years, 5 months. He was at church the day previous,
which was Sunday, both forenoon and afternoon.' His wife Sarah
died Dec. 3, 1812, aged 69 years, 8 months.

lished June 4, to Ruth Gould,6 born Oct. 17, 1753, daughter of
Daniel4 and Ruth (Bancroft) Gould, of Stoneham.
He was by trade a cooper, but his principal occupation was
agriculture. He was a selectman, 1783. He lived in Stoneham,
in the house afterwards owned and occupied by his son Elijah,
and now by Micah Williams, the husband of his granddaughter,
on the road from Stoneham Village to Woburn. He and his wife
were received into the church at the same time by Rev. John
Searl. *By a mistake in the " Vinton Memorial," pp.29 and 46, Stephen Richard
son, the husband of Mary Sawyer, and father of the wife of Caleb Richard
son in the text, is made the son of William and Rebecca (Vinton) Richardson.
He was a son of Dea. Stephen and Bridget Richardson, as stated in the text.
The whole paragraph marked 43 in the Vinton Memorial, p. 46, is therefore
erroneous. jRev. John Cleaveland, born in Chebacco Parish, now the town of Essex,
Mass., Jan. 6, 1749-50, was minister of Stoneham from October, 1785, to Octo-
ber,-1794. He was ministerof the town, and the town paid him. He had been
a soldier of the Eevolution.

almost starved.
He lived in the north part of Lexington, Mass. In the record
of " intentions of marriage," Stoneham, Dec. 23, 1772, he is said
to be "of Charlestown." This may be a mistake, for he, his
father, and grandfather, all lived in Lexington.

Her father was only child of John Vinton,4 who was the eldest

Woburn, who was the eldest son of John Vinton,1 of Lynn, the
emigrant from England. See Vinton Memorial.
Lydia Vinton and her twin sister Mary looked so much alike,
that at a certain time each pretended to be the other, in an inter
view with the young man to whom the other was engaged to be
married, and carried out the deception successfully.
On the spot where he was born, Thaddeus Richardson resided
all his days. It was in the west part of Stoneham, on the road
to Woburn, and close upon the Woburn line. His son, Capt.
William Richardson, lived there after him. He had a valuable

Levi Richaedson6 (Joseph? Stephen? Joseph? Samuel1),
brother of the preceding, and second son of Major Joseph Rich

Farwell. I think he was a soldier in the expedition to Crown Point, from
June to October, 1755, in a company commanded by Capt. John
Taplin. The record which is before me says Louis Richardson ;
another record says Lewis Richardson. But in those times there
was no Louis or Lewis Richardson, either of Reading, Woburn,
or vicinity. The record should have said Levi.
Levi Richardson was a goldsmith by trade. He was of Hallo
well, Me., in 1795, and bought of Thomas Craig, of Readfield, " a
certain tract or parcel of land, with a dwelling-house and barn
thereon, in said Readfield, on the road leading to Sandy River,
June 1, 1795." [Lincoln Deeds, xxxiv. 250.]
Levi Richardson, late of Hallowell, blacksmith, was sued by D.
Tuckerman, 1796, and by John Jones, 1797. [Lincoln Deeds,
xxxvii. 229, xxxviii. 242.
After the birth of one child, 1754, he removed to Maine. His
widow Abigail married a Bacon; settled in what is now Water-
ville, and had six other children, two sons and four daughters.
Levi and Abigail Richardson had one child:

eldest offspring of Israel 4 and Elizabeth (Hutchinson) Richard
son ; born in Templeton, Mass., June 3,. 1765 ; married William
Cutler about 1785. He was born Aug. 4, 1760.
Probably her true name was Elizabeth. Being the eldest
daughter, she was without doubt named for her mother, after the
custom of those times. But her name has come down to us as
Betsey, these names being then regarded as convertible.
Her husband was a farmer. They lived ih Templeton, after
marriage, about twenty years, and then removed to Florida, in
the north part of Berkshire County, Mass., and remained there
some years longer. Overtaken by old age, they removed to the
adjoining town of Charlemont, where they ended their days in
the family of their daughter, Mrs. Hannah Hill.

James Wiley, of Andover, Mass.*
In 1784, soon after marriage, he settled in Standish,f Me., then
called Pearsontown. He bought a one hundred acre lot in Stan-
dish, Oct. 27, 1787. [Cumb. Deeds, xv. 538.]
In 1826, he visited his uncle, Ebenezer Richardson [1739], ih
Western New York, where he contracted fever and ague, of

Joseph Richardson6 (David? David? Samuel? Samuel*),
brother of the preceding, and son of David 4 and Mary (Hall)
Richardson; born in Newton, Mass., July 3, 1763; married,
about 1782, Mary Carpenter, who was born May 25, 1754. As
she was accustomed, in old age, to relate many incidents con
nected with Marblehead, it is supposed that she was born there
or in that vicinity.
He came from Newton to Standish, Me., with his father's fami
ly in 1778. About 1785, he removed to Baldwin, Me., a few
miles distant, then called Flintstown. Of that place he was one
of the first settlers. At that time, Baldwin and the region
around was an almost unbroken wilderness, where the wild ani
mais of the forest held undisputed sway, and only the trails of
the red man conducted the unfrequent traveler over the ground,
along the streams, and through the deeP> dark woods. The
* Her father, James Wiley, was a soldier in the old French and Indian war.
Once he was lost seveD days and had nothing to eat but a piece of a small dog.
He was also a soldier of the Revolution.
t Such is the statement made to me. But as all his children were born in
Limington, the error is apparent.

young adventurer erected his log-cabin on the southerly slope of
the Saddleback mountain, in a rough, heavily- Wooded locality,
though the soil was good. A few decaying apple trees still mark
the spot.*
The earliest conveyance of land in Flintstown to Joseph Rich
ardson, that I have been able to find, is from Lewis Sabin, of
Flintstown, of twenty acres, dated Sept. 22, 1789. [Cumb.

He went with his father in 1778 to Standish, but removed to
Limington, Me., in 1838, and afterwards we find him in Falmouth,
Me., and again in Limington.
In 1838, he bought of his son, George F. Richardson, about
thirty acres of land in Falmouth, on the west side of Presump-
scot River, [Cumb. Deeds, clxx. 60.]
Oct. 10, 1840. Elisha Richardson, of Falmouth, sold to Isaac
Richardson [2594], his nephew, son of his brother David, of Gor
ham, Me., land in Durham, Me. [Cumb. Deeds, clxx. 237.]
1843. Elisha Richardson, of Limington, sold to Isaac Richard
son six acres of marsh land in Falmouth. [Cumb. Deeds, cxciv.
24.] It is said that he joined the society of Friends or Quakers.
* Connected with the family of Joseph Richardson in some way— I have not
been able to learn how — was Eleazar Flint, one of the three men of that name
who settled early in Baldwin, who were large proprietors there, and from
whom that town and the adjoining town of Sebago, on Sebago Lake, received
the name of Flintstown. As Flint is a Reading name, they were probably
from Reading, Mass. See under No. 1999.

Jeremiah Richardson6 (Jeremiah? David? Samuel? Sam
uel1), eldest son of Deacon Jeremiah4 and Dorcas (Hall) Rich-
ardson; born in Newton, Mass., July 10, 1764; married, first,
Hannah  . She died in 1804. Second, Betsey  .
The information we have respecting him is quite meagre and
fragmentary. June 21, 1796. Jeremiah Richardson, of Gilmanton, in the
county of Strafford, N. H., yeoman, bought of Samuel Goodwin,
of Warner, county of Hillsborough, N. II., a one hundred acre
lot in New Penacook, county of York, Me'., on the north side of
the river that runs through said town. [Cumb. Deeds, xxix. 35.]
Dec. 8, 1804. Jonathan Conner was appointed administrator
of the estate of Hannah, wife of Jeremiah Richardson, late of
Gilmanton. [Strafford Prob. Records, ix. 323.]
From this it appears that Hannah, the first wife of Jeremiah
Richardson, had lately died, and there can be no doubt that it
was her brother who was appointed administrator and that her
maiden name was Conner.
Jeremiah Richardson, her husband, sold seventy-one acres of
land in Gilmanton, his interest and right in the same being de
rived, through his wife, from Philip Conner.
He died previous to August, 1814, when a second account of
administration on his estate was presented in court by Joseph
Richardson, the administrator, probably his son. A dower had
been set off, Jan. 9, 1812, to Betsey Richardson, the widow.
[Strafford Prob. Records, xiv. 95 and xv. 507.]
One of the children of Jeremiah Richardson probably was :
2663. Joseph,6 already mentioned. Another was :
2664. William,6 b. 1801. He was a member of the class which
completed a Theological course at the Andover Seminary in
September, 1830 ; was ordained pastor of the Second Congre- '

William Richardson8* (William? William? Stephen? Sam

* The records of Attleborough were so loosely kept one hundred and one hun
dred and fifty years ago, that it is almost impossible to construct any aceount
of the Richardsons then living in that town and their descendants which may
be safely relied on.
The leading facts of the case seem to be these. The Richardsons of Attle
borough came originally from Woburn and Stoneham. The first removal was
about 1714. Wilham Richardson8 [1689] and his brother Timothy8 [1594],

both being sons of Stephen 2 and grandsons of Samuel Richardson,1 one of
the three brothers who settled in Woburn, 1641, purchased together half a
share in the lands of the proprietors of Attleborough, Dec. 25, 1710. Francis
Richardson [1590], another brother, made a similar purchase in 1714. Timo
thy made a further purchase in February, 1715-16. Not far from the same
time their younger brother, Seth8 [1595], also bought land there. These four
brothers removed from "Woburn and Stoneham to Attleborough between 1714
and 1718, and were the progenitors of the Attleborough Richardsons.
Within twenty or thirty years afterwards they were joined by Jonas Rich
ardson [1754], son of their eldest brother Stephen8 [1587], from Billerica, and
perhaps by others of their kindred. We may also reckon as one of the patri
archs of Attleborough, John Richardson * [1761], born Nov. 27, 1719, the young
est son of William Richardson 8 already mentioned. By and by their posteri
ty began to scatter, so as to make it difficult to keep any trace of them. Some
of the name still remain in Attleborough; fifteen were taxed there in 1832.
Mr. Daggett, the historian of Attleborough, mistakes in reckoning John
Richardson4 [1761] as a brother of William;8 whereas he was his son, and the
compiler of this volume has erred in making Henry6 [2135] a brother of Col.
Stephen, whereas he was his cousin. Later information has led to this conclu
sion.

He passed his life in that town, end was a man of note and in
fluence in that town and vicinity. He was a military captain in
1774 ; a colonel in 1778. At the first outbreak of the Revolu
tion, he took an active and leading part in opposition to the op
pressive measures of the British ministry. The town, Dec. 6,
1774, established "a superior and an inferior court, to hear and de
termine controversies that had arisen, or might arise in that town."
Of seven inferior judges, Capt. Stephen Richardson was one.
March 19, 1776, he was chosen a member of the " Committee of
Correspondence, Inspection, and Safety." May 22, 1776, he was
chosen one of a committee of five to prepare instructions to the
representative of the town, Capt. John Stearns. Among other
things, it was enjoined on the representative, that if the Conti
nental Congress should declare the country independent of Great
Britain, he should, in behalf of the town, sustain and defend them
in so doing.
In October, 1777, he commanded a company, under Col. John
Daggett, grandfather of the historian of that name, from Attle
borough, stationed for one month on Rhode Island.
January 12, 1778, Col. Stephen Richardson, his brother, Capt.
Caleb Richardson, and five others, were chosen to prepare in

Constitution. He was a representative of the town of Attleborough in 1783

Samuel1), brother of the preceding, and second son of Stephen 4
and Hannah (Coy) Richardson ; born in Attleborough, July 7,
1739, N. S. ; married Esther Tiffany.
He passed his life in Attleborough. Like his brother Stephen,
he was an active patriot in the time of the Revolution. He was
captain of a company of " eight months' men," sixty-four in num
ber, enlisted to' serve from May 1, 1775, to the end ofthe year.
During the occupation of Boston by the British, they were sta
tioned at Roxbury. In July, 1776, he had command of a compa
ny enlisted for five months, or during the remainder of the year,
with his cousin, Stephen Richardson [2166], for lieutenant. They
were stationed in New Jersey, and shared in the hardships and
disasters of that campaign. He commanded a company on
Rhode Island, during Sullivan's fruitless campaign there, in Sep
tember, 1778. •
He was chosen from time to time on important committees. In
January, 1778, he and his brother Stephen were members of a
committee to prepare instructions to the representatives of the
town in relation to articles of confederation. In March, 1779, he
was a member of the committee of public safety. He was repre
sentative of Attleborough in 1789, and one of the board of se
lectmen in 1790.

Partridge Richardson6 (Bartholomew? Noah? Pierson?
John? Samuel1), son of Bartholomew5 and Hannah (Partridge)
Richardson ; born in Woburn, April 23, 1760 ; married Martha
Reed, May 11, 1784.
After marriage he lived a few years in Cambridge, and removed,
as early as 1794, to Biddeford, Me., where be was living in 1811 ;
how much longer we know not.
May 1, 1794. Partridge Richardson, of Biddeford, yeoman,
bought of Tristram Morrill, of Biddeford, trader, a tract of land
in Biddeford, on the road leading from Saco bridge to Rev. Mr.
[Nathaniel] Webster's meeting-house, formerly belonging to Rev.
Moses Morrill, containing about one and one-half acres, with the
dwelling-house thereon, formerly the parsonage. [York Deeds,
lv. 435.]
September 16, 1794. Partridge Richardson, of Biddeford, yeo
man, sold this same property to George Partridge, of Duxborough,
Plymouth County, Esquire [his mother's brother]. [York Deeds,
lv. 415.]
April 3, 1799. Partridge Richardson, of Biddeford, yeoman,
sold to Thomas Cutts, of Pepperellborough, one acre and seventy
poles of land in Biddeford. This land began at Saco River, on
the north-west side of the parsonage in Biddeford, on the road
from Winter Harbor to Saco Falls* [York Deeds, lxvi. 33.]
?Biddeford and Pepperellborough were on opposite sides of Saco River.
Pepperellborough is now the town of Saco, on the east side of the river. Rev.
Moses Morrill was minister of Biddeford from 1742 to 1778. Tristram Morrill
was his son. It seems that Partridge Richardson purchased the estate which
had been used for a parsonage, but not being able to pay for it, conveyed the
title to his uncle, Hon. George Partridge, still continuing to occupy it.

lin, Mass. He has preached in various places, and with a good
degree of success. About 1819, he preached in Gofistown, N. H.,
to a small, feeble church, which had been nine years without a
pastor. The Lord blessed his labors ; a revival of religion com
menced, resulting in nearly one hundred conversions. He did
not settle there, but went to Vermont as a missionary. As such,
he labored in Plymouth, in the county of Windsor, in that State,
where a still greater revival took place, extending to other towns,
especially to Ludlow, an adjoining town. He received ordination

ister in Epsom, near Pembroke, N. H., in 1833, and in other places.

On the Woburn records he is described as Bartholomew Rich
ardson, "the third." He is also described as Lieut. Bartholo
mew Richardson, junior. The third meeting-house in Woburn,
near the common, finished in 1752, having been reduced to ashes
on the night of June 17, 1808, the town voted, June 19th, to
build a new one. A committee of three, viz. : Major Benjamin
Franklin Baldwin, Lieut. Willard Jones, and Lieut. Bartholomew
Richardson, jr., were chosen to contract for the materials and
workmanship ; and such was the zeal and diligence with which
this committee discharged their trust, that within one year from
the destruction of the former house the new one was ready for
occupation, and was solemnly dedicated June 28, 1809. The
pews were sold by auction June 19th, and the proceeds of the
sale amounted to $10,911, exceeding the cost of the building by
$3,000. He was a selectman of Woburn in 1837 and 1844.

* An obituary notice appeared in the Concord, N. H., Gazette of Aug. 8,
1815, two weeks after her death, from which we extract the following:
" To a vigorous and well-cultivated mind and a heart susceptible of every
virtuous impression, Mrs. Colman added that fervent and rational piety so
necessary in forming a complete character. As an affectionate wife, a tender
parent, a friend and a Christian, she is deeply lamented. Though she had re
sided but a short time in the Society [Congregational in Boscawen], yet the
deep impression which her virtues made on those who are capable of estimat
ing true worth of character has hardly ever been exceeded. She rested on
Christ alone for salvation, and proved her faith by her works. She bore her
last painful illness with exemplary fortitude and resignation."

Abijah Richardson6 (Barnabas? Edward? Jacob? John?
Samuel1), second son of Barnabas5 and Rebecca (Tidd) Rich
ardson; born in Woburn, March 20, 1761; married, March 5,
1789, Elizabeth Richardson6 [2301], born Feb. 23, 1763,
daughter of Joseph 5 and Abigail (Felton) Richardson, of Wo
burn. They lived in Woburn, near the line of Stoneham, until 1791
or 1792, when they removed to Peterborough, N. H., in the
north-east part of that town. In March, 1794, they, with their
three small children, removed from Peterborough to Dublin,
N. H., an adjoining town. The snow was about three feet deep
in the woods, it being on the declivity of the Grand Monadnock.
His means of subsistence being very scanty, he took his family
into a small log-hut in the woods, the best accommodation he
could then obtain. In June following, as he was clearing up a
piece of land, a tree which he was cutting down in its fall threw
him high in the air. On coming to the ground his shoulder was
broken and he was otherwise severely injured. He was at first
completely bewildered, and reached his cabin only by the help of
his wife. He was for a long time laid aside from labor. Thus
disabled, he could not supply the needs of his children when ask
ing for a piece of bread.
One night there was nothing in the house to eat, and the fami
ly went to bed without their supper. The children, the oldest
being under the age of five years, thought it rather hard ; but
their father comforted them by the assurance that they should
have their food when he and mother had theirs. The next morn
ing a Mr. Todd, one of the neighbors, chanced to call, and the
father told him of his destitute condition. " Well, Well ! " said
the old gentleman, " such things ought not so to be ! " He started
immediately for home, and soon returned with bread and milk
and other provision, sufficient to last till other arrangements
could be made. The first time he went out to work, after he was
able to do anything, he cut his foot badly with the axe.
The father's health was poor, and on his eldest son, Abijah,
even in early boyhood, devolved many duties which most boys
escape. For instance, he had to chop wood for the kitchen fire.
Many a time, in cold weather, he had to do this with no shoes to
his feet. He would take a board, heat it by the fire, and carry it
out to stand on to protect his bare feet and keep them out of the
snow. This boy Abijah afterwards gave convincing evidence of
piety and became a deacon in the church. He was living in 1874.
The other children, so far as I am informed, did well in life.
The parents were good people. They transferred their relation
from the church in Woburn to the church in Dublin.
In July, 1840, the father fell from a load of hay, broke his back
and run the pitchfork into his leg. He died within three days
afterwards. All these accidents happened on a spot not forty rods
square.

came to South Reading, about 1810, as a tin peddler, barefoot, walking by the
side of his tin cart. He pursued the business of making and selling tin ware

the sale one hundred peddlers. In 1812 or 1813, he opened an extensive coun
try store in his house. He was a very shrewd and accomplished business man

Rice, born Nov. 11, 1784, daughter of Peter and Azubah Rice,
of Brookfield. She died Sept. 8, 1820. Second, Sept. 4, 1821,
Betsey Alden, born May 25, 1797. She died Dec. 5, 1832,
aged 36. Third, Dec. 4, 1834, Grace (Stearns) Barnard, born
Jan. 19, 1790, daughter of Jonathan and Mary (Bigelow) Stearns,
of Waltham, and widow of Jacob Barnard, a noted innkeeper of.
Boston. The following notice of Dr. Richardson is copied from the
History of Old Reading by Lilley Eaton :
" From early life he was very fond of books. When sent to
the post-office, several miles distant, with money to buy his din
ner, he would go without his dinner and use the money to buy a
book. On the way home he would allow the horse to move at
his own will and give himself to reading the new volume.
" This love of reading continued through life. He was espec
ially fond of poetry. Pope's Essay on Man, Milton's Paradise
Lost, and the entire book of Job he could repeat throughout.
"He studied medicine with the eminent Dr. Kittredge, of
Reading. He commenced practice as a physician in North Read
ing about the time of his first marriage, 1805. He had the cus
tom of that parish and several neighboring towns.
"After several years' residence in that place he removed to the
West Parish, the present town of Reading. After the death of
his wife, 1820, he determined to remove to Cambridge ; but some
of the prominent citizens of South Reading, with Burrage Yale
at their head, unwilling that so excellent a physician should leave
the neighborhood, prevailed on him to remove to that place. He
accordingly removed thither in 1821.
"He became identified with South Reading, and during the re
mainder of his life was one of its most active citizens. He was
foremost in every plan for the improvement and welfare of the
town. Although in the receipt of a generous income, he would
never present a bill for professional services. His ledger was a
curiosity, showing nothing on the debit side. In cases where a
physician at the present day would obtain one hundred dollars or
more, his fee would be a sum so insignificant as to provoke a
smile. " Probably no physician of that day had so large a practice.
In pulmonary cases he was without a rival. His practice ex
tended through the New England States, and obliged him to
erect a private hospital at his own home. During his days of
practice at home, the carriages of his patients would line both
sides of the main street near his residence.
"He died, very suddenly, of apoplexy, Sept. 17, 1837, aged 56.
A monument was erected to his memory by his son, Dr. Solon O,
Richardson." His third wife, left a widow, died Nov. 26, 1872, aged 82.

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 345
Aug. 3, 1803, Susanna Crafts, born May 2, 1782, daughter of
Daniel and Abigail Crafts, of Roxbury.
He graduated at Harvard College, 1799 ; studied law, had an
office in Boston, and resided in Roxbury. He is said to have
been a good lawyer. He died Nov. 14, 1811, aged 37.
In his will, recorded Norfolk Prob. Records, p. 174, he gives to
his son Augustus Luther a silver table nrn marked adfilium; gold
watch; gold shell snuff-box, and library. "The reason for not
giving him anything further is not for want of parental affection,
but because I think it will be more for his lasting benefit and
usefulness to dispose. of my estate as I shall hereinafter." The
testator also gives to his daughter Susanna a large silver tankard,
marked L. S., and a gold ring. " The reason for giving her no
more is the same as in the case of Augustus Luther." He gives
the whole remainder to his wife Susanna, she to educate and sup
port the children at her discretion ; who are to have the property
at her death. He would rather his son would be educated to be a
good citizen, than to hazard the chance of his being an eminent
man at greater expense.
The affair turned out poorly. The estate was heavily in debt.
It required many months to settle it. The personal estate was
not sufficient to pay the debts, and it became necessary to sell the
real estate, and the reversion of the widow's dower. The receipts
were $8,822.70 ; payments, mostly to creditors, 18,049.51. The
real estate consisted chiefly of land in Roxbury and Stoneham.
The widow Susanna married Elisha Hathaway, of Boston, June
1, 1814, who died March 3, 1850, aged 75. She died Dec. 18,
1850, aged 68.
The children of Luther and Susanna Richardson were :
3353. Augustus Luther,7 b. July 14, 1805 ; a merchant in Cuba.
3354. A child, b. Dec. 5, 1806; d. in infancy.

James and Susanna Steele, of Stoneham.
He lived in what is now the town of Winchester, then South
Woburn, perhaps less than a mile from where this is written, on
a part of the original homestead of his first American ancestor.
He was a deacon of the Orthodox Congregational Church in Wo
burn, from 1825 to 1849, and was always regarded as a worthy
man. He died Feb. 26, 1866, at the advanced age of eighty-nine.

aged 77 years, 6 months.

ton.* The firm was West and Richardson, and the store was
. No. 75 Cornhill — Old Cornhill — now a part of Washington
Street, a few steps north of School Street, and very near the Old
South Church, but on the other side of the street. The store had
been occupied by John West as a bookstore from the year 1800
and probably some years earlier. It is now occupied by William
H. Piper & Co., and is still used as a bookstore. In a few years,
Melvin Lord, who is still living, was taken into partnership.
Mr. Lord has obligingly furnished for this publication the fol
lowing valuable sketch, which the compiler is happy to insert :
"Eleazar Tyng Fox Richardson was brought np to the book-
-selling business in the store of • John West, No. 75 Old Cornhill,
in the building next below [i. <?., north] 'the corner of School
Street on the northerly side. Here Mr. West began business in
the year 1792, the situation, however, being then considered
rather too high up in town ! t On Mr. Richardson coming of age,
or about that time, Mr. West took him into partnership. [This
would be about 1808.] The firm was West & Richardson.
Some years after, Melvin Lord, who had served his time -with
Thomas & Andrews, was taken into the concern, the firm there
upon becoming West, Richardson & Lord ; Mr. West, however,
was only a nominal partner, he having previously retired from the
business and gone into paper-making in Taunton. $ Before long,
Mr. West's name was dropped, the firm being reduced to the
actual participants, Richardson & Lord.
" Mr. Richardson died in May, 1829, leaving the management
of the business, for a time, wholly in the hands of Mr. Lord.
But matters being arranged, he soon [viz., 1830] took another
partner into the business, John Calvin Holbrook, § continuing the
* I find his name as a bookseller and dealer in blanks and stationery, at No.
75 Cornhill, in a Boston Directory for 1800, printed by John Russell for Mr.
West. tVery Uttle of the business of Boston was transacted south of Summer Street.
} John West was of Taunton in 1817.
§ John Calvin Holbrook 7 was born Jan. 7, 1808, one of the younger sons of
John Holbrook,6 of Brattleborough, Vt., by his wife Sally Knowlton, of New
fane, Vt. John Holbrook, of Brattleborough, was long and favorably known
as the publisher of many valuable books, among others, of that great and val
uable work, The Comprehensive Commentary on the Bible, in five ponderous
volumes, 1836, edited by Rev. William Jenks, D. D., the firm being Holbrook
& Fessenden, and latterly the Brattleborough Typographical Company-
Frederic Holbrook, governor of Vermont in 1861, was also his son. John C
Holbrook was ordained pastor, 1843, at Dubuque, Iowa; he was dismissed
April, 1864, and shortly after installed' at Homer, Cortland County, N. Y. In
1870, Sept. 6, he was dismissed from Syracuse, N. Y., and settled at Stockton,,
Cal., Dec. 15, 1870. He was dismissed from Stockton, Nov. 1, 1872, and has
since been Secretary of the N. Y. State Home Mission Society. Syracuse, N. Y.

same under the firm of Richardson, Lord & Holbrook, retaining
Richardson's name in identification with the old establishment.
"Mr. Richardson was a very pleasant, sensible man, and of
sterling business capacity.
"The transactions of the establishment, taken together, were
very extensive. They were not, by any means, confined to the
ordinary retail trade of the shop, which, however, was considera
ble. They had wholesale dealings with nearly, if not quite, every
bookseller and publisher, of consequence, in New England, and .
with many in other parts of the country, especially in the large
cities, having at the same time transactions with many literary
and professional gentlemen in various places.
" The publications of the house, under its different dynasties,
were numerous, and had reference to varied subjects, embracing
law, physic, and divinity, together with a long list of school
books. In the last-mentioned line they were very much engaged.
After 1820, the firm devoted themselves especially to the publi
cation of school books. Many a man, in high standing in the .
community, has been taught his letters and learned how to spell ¦
out of their books. Among the issues of this class of books may
be named the following : The Child's Primer, Webster's, Perry's,
and Emerson's Spelling Books, Pierpont's series of Reading
Books, Cyrographical Copy Books, English, Latin, and French
Grammars, Arithmetics, Dictionaries, Geographies, Speakers, His
tories, universal and particular, Walker's Geometry, Vose's and
Worcester's Astronomy, Sullivan's Moral, Political, and Histori
cal Class-books, Watts' Logic, Grund's Philosophy, Hentz's
French Reader, Bailey's Algebra, School Bibles and Testaments,
Bookkeeping, Hall's School Manual, Whelpley's Compend of
History, Works by William Russell, Peter Parley, and other em
inent authors. Of spelling books, the number they issued was
very large, one contract with Noah Webster for his spelling book
being, for the right of publishing three hundred and fifty thousand
(350,000) copies, and another for four hundred and twenty thou
sand (420,000). The Farmer's Almanac, by Robert B. Thomas,
was their publication, and of this they distributed some hundreds
of thousands of copies annually. Mr. Richardson himself being
a singer, the company, at different periods of the establishment,
issued several valuable collections of sacred music in large num
bers." The compiler may add from his own knowledge that Mr.
Richardson was very fond of music, one of the original members
of the Handel and Haydn Society, of Boston, and the firm pub
lished, in 1827, the fifth edition ofthe Boston Handel and Haydn
Society's Collection of Sacred Music, and in 1830 the ninth edi
tion of the same work.
Mr. Richardson died May 11, 1829, in his forty-third year. His
widow married, May 28, 1840, Hon. Anthony Colby, of New-
London, N. H., who was governor of New Hampshire one year.
He died July 20, 1873, aged 80 years, 8 months. The widow is
still living, 1875.

farm in Elmore, in the county of LaMoille, Vermont, in a- mount
ainous region, where he could give full scope to his tastes. He
cleared up a portion of this land, and built a log-house, in which
he and his wife lived a few years, till he could clear up more land.
He then built a brick house, in which they lived till 1846 or 1847.
He then sold his house and farm ; moved back to South Barre,
and took a part of the homestead where he was born. There he
still lives, June, 1875. He never was blessed with offspring.

*Miss Mary Jane Cheney has had a remarkable history. While a student
in a Conference Seminary in Schoharie County, N. Y., she accepted an offer to
become the preceptress in an academy in North Carolina. She occupied the
position between two and three years ; then resigned it and came home. Hav
ing been at the South so long, the severe winters of the North proved too
bracing, and physicians advised a return to Carolina. She accordingly went
South in October, 1860, and took a situation as private teatiher in a wealthy
family, at a high salary. Her term was to close in the June following. But
in April, 1861, the war of the Rebellion commenced, and the excitement at
tendant thereon was so intense, affecting all classes, that it was safe for her
neither to depart, nor to remain. Though earnestly desirous to return to the
North, she found it would not be permitted. She was compelled, therefore,
to remain where she was, and to have her feelings wounded by the invectives,
slanders, and calumnies, daily and unsparingly uttered against the northern

people. In this abuse, the southern ladies, even those of rank and influence,
took the lead.
These ladies, some of them, even walked the streets with revolvers in their
belts, evidently watching for an opportunity to shoot anybody who might dif
fer from them. Some of them had actually threatened to shoot "that Yankee
teacher," if they ever set eyes on her again. She, therefore, dared not to go
out but under protection from the gentleman, at whose house she was staying.
The gentlemen of the South, she says, with very few exceptions, were kind
and respectful towards her. She affirms, that on one occasion the mother of
the gentleman at whose house slys stayed, attempted her life by putting poison
in the food designed for her. She and a lady friend, Miss Sarah P. Ballard,
from her own native place, teacher of a ladies' seminary, five miles distant,
made several attempts to get away, but passports were refused.
After a stay of some weeks at Raleigh, the capital of the State, Miss Cheney
accepted a situation as teacher in a wealthy and influential family in Virginia,
where she was promised protection and a good home while the war continued.
As money was not to be had, it being all wanted for the supply of the " confed
erate" armies, the gentleman stipulated that for teaching ten months in his
family she should receive two thousand pounds of first-rate yellow-leaf to
bacco, well cured and pressed, packed in first-class hogsheads, ready for deliv-
eryas soon as the war was over, and subject to her order.
Her school in this gentleman's house continued a year and a half. She la
bored very hard to keep up the interest of the scholars, and had the satisfac
tion of seeing her school a marked success. Families for miles around sent
their daughters, and had them boarded in the vicinity, to receive the benefit
of the thorough discipline and instruction there given ; and the original num
ber was more than doubled. But even in this kind family, she was daily and
deeply pained by observing the feelings of hatred expressed towards the
North, and the stories exultingly related of cruel treatment inflicted on prison
ers who had fallen into the power of the " secesh " officers. She had to be a
quiet listener, and to appear perfectly unmoved, though, for aught she knew,
one of her own brothers might be a sufferer in the case. It was to her like dy
ing by inches.
At length, when almost in despair of any favorable turn, an opportunity
was presented by the kindness of an honorable gentleman in North Carolina,
to her and her friend, Miss Ballard, to get away. They were included in a list
of about one hundred and fifty "refugees," who, under some sort of arrange
ment, were allowed to depart. They were taken to Newborn, N. C, then oc
cupied by Federal troops, and there delivered to the care of Federal officers.
They came to New York by water. She reached home, Oct. 16, 1863.
But the Virginia gentleman, in whose house she had labored so faithfully
and so long, refused her the stipulated tobacco, on the plea that he had put his
name to no written engagement. And for want of written evidence, the claim
could not be collected by law.
This interesting lady now, June 1875, keeps house, her mother having died,
for her father at Fort Covington, N. Y.

months.
3660. Nathan H.,7 b. March 4, 1823; d. Nov. 18, 1828. He weighed 85
pounds when five years old.
3661. Rosina Delight,7 b. April 12, 1834. A prodigy of corpulence.
At her birth she weighed but six and a half pounds ; at ten
months, fifty pounds ; at five years old, she weighed one hun
dred and sixty-three (163) pounds; at the age of seven, two
hundred and fourteen (214) pounds ; at the age of twenty-
one, she weighed four hundred and forty-five (445) pounds.
Her stature was five feet ten inches. She was repeatedly
carried about the country on exhibition. These statements
were made in print, and verified. She was not all flesh, for
it is said she was intelligent and affable. She became the
wife of John A. Woods, March 11, 1869, and now lives, I am in
formed, in the State of Florida. She has no children. Her
first exhibition to the public was in 1839, when she was five
years old. This tour was undertaken, it is said, partly for
the sake of her health, which, it was supposed, might be
benefitted by the journey. The journey occupied five or six
weeks, and included Lowell, Boston, and the neighboring
towns. At the age of seven, when weighing 214 pounds, her
parents were persuaded again to exhibit her to the pubhc,
both in the New England Museum at Boston, and in the Low
ell Museum for the space of eight weeks. In October, 1852, be
ing then at the age of eighteen, and extremely corpulent, an
other journey was undertaken; another in August, 1853, and
again in October, 1853, when she was carried to Philadelphia,
Washington, D. C, and other cities. In January, 1854, Col.
J. H. Wood, who already had a museum in Cincinnati, and
desired to have another in Philadelphia, proposed that she
should accompany him in a tour through the principal cities

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL .RICHARDSON. 377
of the Union. The proposal was accepted, and she was ex
hibited in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Tork City, Pitts
burgh, Wheeling, Steubenville, Zanesville, Newark, Lancas
ter, Circleville, Ckilicothe, Columbus, Springfield, Dayton,
Cincinnati, and Louisville. She was visited by thousands.
She was no doubt extremely corpulent; but that she ever
weighed eight hundred pounds, or that it ever took 155 yards
of calico to make her a full dress, as was reported, it is im
possible to believe. The utmost credulity cannot extend her
weight beyond four hundred or four hundred and fifty
pounds. For so much, I have the statement of a lady who
knew her and had no motive to deceive.

Deacon Joseph Richardson 6 (Joseph? David? David? Sam
uel? Samuel1), brother of the preceding, and son of Joseph6 and
Mary (Carpenter) Richardson ; born in Standish, Maine, July 3,
1785 ; married, May 26, 1808, Charlotte Thompson, born in
South Reading, Mass., now Wakefield, May 2, 1786. She was
the daughter of Isaac Snow Thompson, M. D., by his wife Char
lotte Hayes. Dr. Thompson was a physician in Baldwin, Maine,
eldest son of Daniel Thompson, who was killed by a British gren
adier, on the retreat of the British troops from Concord, April 19,
1775 [see 1919].
Soon after birth, his parents removed with him from Standish
to Baldwin, then called Flint's town, from Eleazar Flint, one of
the early settlers, and a large proprietor of that township. Thus
the scenes amid which he was brought up were singularly wild
and romantic. On a large rock, the children used to play. One
day Joseph and his sister Abigail were near it amusing them
selves, when seeing a large black bear with cubs approaching, they
supposed it a dog, and called it " Bose." The unmolested brutes
went on their way, leaving the children unharmed, to tell the
thrilling story in riper' years.
In the midst of the forest was the " camp" where the family

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 383
made maple sugar. Here Joseph, while tending the kettles, em
ployed his leisure moments in reading and committing to memory
select verses and hymns from a fragment of a book, which, to
gether with a well-worn copy of the Scriptures, constituted almost
the entire family library. These hymns, so often sung and re
peated, were a source of great enjoyment to him in after life, and
their influence was not lost, perhaps is not yet lost upon his chil
dren. In a log but, in the corner of a large fire-place, by the light
of pitch-pine knots, he learned to cypher, on a piece of whetstone.
In these simple ways his education commenced, but he always
took pleasure in adding to it. Finding his way to Fryeburg Acad
emy, he became a successful teacher of common schools.
His wife was an active, devoted Christian ; the first person who
taught a grammar school in Baldwin. Soon after their marriage,
they removed to a place in Baldwin, on the westerly slope of
Saddleback Mountain, where all their children were born.
He cultivated and owned a farm in that place, and was respected
and honored by all. He was deacon of the Congregational Church
in Baldwin and Sebago from its organization, in 1821, till his
death. This church has always been small. He, and especially
his wife, took a lively interest in its welfare. He was one of the
original trustees of ministerial and school funds till his death. He
was clerk of said boards for several years; selectman, assessor,
and superintending school committee-man at various times; jus
tice of the peace, etc.
Many conveyances of land by him are on record in the Cum
berland Registry of Deeds. The last is dated 1843, two parcels
of land, respectively of sixty and fifty acres, both in Baldwin, on
Saco River, to Ephraim Flint, of Baldwin, formerly Flint's town.
[Cumb. Deeds, ccexxxi. 109.]
About the year 1832, he changed his residence to a more easter
ly part of Baldwin, where he died, Sept. 21, 1848, aged 63. Char
lotte, his wife, died there, Feb. 26, 1843, in her fifty-seventh year.
Their children, all born in Baldwin, were :
3741. Charlotte Thompson,7 b. May 20, 1809; d. July 29, 1811.
+3742. Mary,7 b. April 1, 1811 ; m. Rev. Elkanah Walker.
3743. Joseph Carpenter,7 b. March 3, 1813; unm.; grad. Bowdoin
College, 1840. He taught school successively in and near
Philadelphia. Ill health compelled him to spend some
months at his home in Baldwin. His health being somewhat
improved he accepted the charge of the Mathematical de
partment in the Seminary in Gorham, Me. He was an able
mathematician. He was successful in this employment about
two years, when he was seized with inflammation of the lungs,
in consequence of which he died in Baldwin, Sept. 26, 1846.

At seventeen years of age, David Richardson served three
months in the army of the Revolution, for which, near the close
of his life, he drew a pension. After marriage, he lived on the
farm of his wife's uncle, Peter Dearborn, on Baker's River, in

t The Dearborn Family.
I. Godfrey Dearborn was the progenitor of the Dearborn Family in the
United States so far as is known. He is said to have been a native of Exeter,
in England. He came from England after 1634 and previous to 1639. His
name does not occur in a list of the freemen of Massachusetts. It appears
that he settled in Exeter, N. H. He was one of the thirty-five who, with Bev.
John Wheelwright, signed the compact at Exeter in 1639. He lived ™ Strat-
ham, then a part of Exeter; was selectman of Exeter, 1648; afterwards re

named in the charter, but was living in Hampton, 1729. He shortly after re
moved to Chester; was selectman, deacon, captain, etc., and died March 15,
1772. IV. Benjamin Dearborn, his, third son, was born in Hampton, Aug. 13,

Phebe Chaeles, born 1772, daughter of John Charles, of Frye
burg, Me.
He removed from Chatham, N. H., to the neighboring town of
Fryeburg, Me., in 1802; thence to Canada East in 1803, where
he remained nearly four years; thence, late in 1806, he removed
to Belmont County, Ohio, on the Ohio River, in the eastern part
of that State ; next, in 1809, to Hamilton County, near the mouth
of the Little Miami River and near Cincinnati; again, in 1812, to
Houston, Shelby County, Ohio, on the upper waters of the Great
Miami River, where was his home till he died. When he first
lived there the country was new, and during the war of 1812 the
settlers were much exposed to the incursions of the Indians.
While many other people in that region, for security, left their
homes and took refuge in forts and block-houses, he remained at
home with his numerous family, fortifying his buildings, which
were probably constructed of logs, as well as he could, and was
never seriously molested.
He died at Houston, Dec. 15, 1822, aged 53 years, 10 months,

Samuel1), eldest offspring of Joseph6 and Miriam (Hildreth)
Richardson; born in Pelham, N. H., Aug. 24, 1768; married
Joshua Wtman,6* Sept. 9, 1788.
They removed from Pelham to Cornish, N. H., in March, 1794,
and passed the remainder of life in that town. Mr. Wyman was
a man of a strong, well-balanced mind; he was highly esteemed
in the town where he lived, and was one of the board of select
men at the time of his death. He and his wife were admirable
specimens of the old Puritan character, of that character which,
under God, has sustained New England through so many perils
and has made it what it is. They held fast the form of sound
words, which came down from the early ages ; they always at
tended public worship whatever the state of the weather, and the
country being new, usually, at least for many years, went on
horseback. The husband and father, when he found death ap
proaching, called his family of eight children to his bed-side and
affectionately addressed them, one by one, on the great concerns
of eternity, giving them such counsel as only a Christian father
can address to his children in a dying hour. The result was, five
of the children, soon after his death, became, as was hoped, the
regenerate children of God. He died at the early age of thirty-
eight, June 9, 1815. A funeral sermon, preached by Rev. Joseph
Rowell, the pastor of the Congregational Church in Cornish, was
published, accompanying which was Mr. Wyman's dying address
to his wife and children.
His wife was eminently worthy of such a hushand. She out
lived him more than thirty years, and brought up in the fear and
love and service of God her large family of children. She was a

noble Christian woman. She had great strength of character.
She managed with great skill and success a large farm. Her
house was always the abode of peace and joy. She looked well
to the ways of her household, and in due time they all rose up
and called her blessed. They all grew up to be godly men and
women, prosperous in worldly affairs, and respected in society.
All were members of evangelical churches except one son, and he
died in the hope of eternal life through the merit of a glorious
Redeemer. Nor has the blessed influence of her instructions, ex
amples, and prayers yet been lost among her posterity, as the
compiler has opportunity to know. Her youngest son, Edward
Wyman, who lived in the adjacent town of Newport, rose to the
rank of brigadier general in the New Hampshire militia, besides
filling many other places of trust.

He was a partner with Major Ebenezer Tyler, of Pawtucket,
R. I., Elias Ingraham, of Attleborough, Peter Grinnell and his
son, Abner Daggett, of Providence, and Nehemiah Dodge, of
Providence, in a manufacturing establishment, commenced in
1809, under the name of the Attleborough Manufacturing Com
pany, the name being changed, 1821, to that of Tyler Manufac
turing Co. The business for some years was quite prosperous.

liam Tyler, settled as pastor in South Weymouth, and lately

Moses Richardson8 (Stephen? Stephen? William? Stephen?
Samuel1), son of Col. Stephen 6 and Mary (Fuller) Richardson,
of Attleborough; born there Dec. 12, 1774; married, first, Han
nah Pond, born in Mansfield, Mass., Aug. 4, 1779, daughter of
Stephen Pond, of that town. Her mother was a daughter of
Seth Gilbert, of Norton, Mass. Second, Eliza Andrews, of
Providence, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Gladding) An
drews. Her father was a son of Zephaniah Andrews ; her mother
was a daughter of Nathaniel Gladding, of Providence.
He lived in East Attleborough, and was a partner with his sec
ond cousin, Abiathar Richardson, jr., and his brothers-in-law,
Elijah Ingraham and Ezra Ingraham (who as I understand married
his sisters), as owners and managers of a cotton manufactory in
East Attleborough from 1811 to 1822 and probably longer. Moses
Richardson was, some of the time at least, the managing partner,
and transacted most of the business. The firm was Ingraham,
Richardson & Co. There was also a firm, Richardson, Ingraham
& Co., composed, I believe, of the same individuals. My father
conducted their business in Boston.
Moses Richardson afterwards lived in Providence, and died
there Aug. 9, 1859, aged 85.
He had by first wife, three children, whose names are not known,
and all deceased. Children by second wife :

Woodcock, who owned the garrison-house where the Hatch house

In February, 1815, just after the war with England, he left

days! He went to Richmond, Va., by stage; the rest ofthe
journey, through Virginia, Tennessee, etc., on horseback; alone,
through the untrodden wilderness, often without food except cold
corn-bread or hominy at an occasional Indian hovel ; fording and
* He was doubtless a descendant of Joseph Tainter, who, at the age of

swimming through creeks and swamps, often in the worst of
weather, sleeping at one time for three weeks on the bare ground
among the snakes of the swamps and the wolves and panthers of
the forest, his horse sharing with him his hard bed and fare. He
reached his destination April 12th, a journey of eighteen hundred
and twenty-one miles in fifty-three days.
In October of the same year he went to Lexington, Ky., on
business, and remained there through the following winter, re
turning thence to New Orleans in the spring of 1816. In May,
1818, he was married in Lexington, Ky., as already stated.
In 1819, he removed to Lexington, Ky., which was his home
till 1837, when he removed to Louisville, Ky., where he resided
till his death.
By occupation he was a merchant, manufacturer, and banker.
For the last twenty-six years of his life he was cashier and presi
dent of the Northern Bank of Kentucky at Louisville.
He was for thirty years a ruling elder in the Presbyterian
Church, and had the happiness of receiving seven of his children
into the same church, several of whom occupy important posi
tions in Church and State. Very few men have filled that impor
tant and responsible station so happily and faithfully as he. All
of his descendants have been baptized in the Presbyterian
Church, and all of the children, except one, and all of the grand
children, who are of sufficient age, are members of that church in
full communion. He was the originator of the sunrise prayer-
meeting, so generally observed by the churches in the south-west
and elsewhere on New Year's morning.
It may.be a matter of interest to some to state that though the
family is large and scattered, and their political faith quite de
cided, not one of them has ever voted the Democratic ticket.
He died Jan. 23, 1863, in his seventy-second year. The first
Mrs. Richardson died Dec. 8, 1854.
The children are thirteen in number, as below :

came to Boston in August, 1800, and began business for himself March 12,
1801, in the manufacture and sale of boots and shoes, at the corner of Mer
chants Row and what was then known as Market Square. Many thousands
of people have noticed the sign of the Great Boot; it has met my eyes thou
sands of times, suspended over his store-door about 1812, replaced by a still
larger boot, erected at his subsequent place of business, No. 53 North Market
Street, immediately after the erection of the Quincy Market and the building
of the stores on North and South Market Streets, about 1825.
Nathaniel Faxon 7 was a son of James 6 and Mary (Field) Faxon, of Old

He early commenced business in Stoneham as a merchant and
a manufacturer of shoes. By frugality and economy, united with
careful attention to business and strict integrity, he acquired a
handsome property. He was much employed in town business,
and filled nearly every office in the gift of the town, being suc
cessively assessor, selectman, overseer of the poor, and member
of the school committee. He represented the town in the State
legislature in 1835, when only twenty-nine years of age. He was
justice of the peace many years. As an insurance agent, he in

*The Gerkt Family.
The earliest of the name in this country known to us is Dennis Geary, who
settled in Lynnfield, originally a part of Lynn. He is supposed to be the an
cestor of the Gerry family in this country. The name is evidently of Irish
origin. It was formerly written Geary, and pronounced Gary. It is so found
in the records of Stoneham, even so late as 1830. Thomas Geary was one of
the early settlers of Stoneham; he was taxed there in 1726 and 1727, immedi
ately after the incorporation of the town. His wife was Abigail Vinton, born
in Reading, Dec. 28, 1704, the eldest child of John Vinton, Esq., the leading
luan and largest land holder in Stoneham. Their son, David Geary, born in
Stoneham, Nov. 27, 1728, married Kezia Holden, March 30, 1748. David and
Kezia (Holden) Geary had David, born Sept. 3, 1751, who married Sarah Rich

years treasurer of the Stoneham Savings Bank, resigning that po
sition only from failing health in 1873.
His business habits were characterized by great accuracy. He
was often employed in transfers of real estate, and wrote more
deeds, it is supposed, than any other man in the town. There
were few men in Stoneham, during the latter half of his life, but
were in some way brought into business relations with him, and
the testimony of all is that his conduct was marked with strict
impartiality and justice. In his domestic circle he was consider
ate and kind. His wife deeply mourns the departure of him who
has scarcely been absent from her a day for nearly forty-four
years. He died in Stoneham, Nov. 23, 1875, in his seventieth year.
He had no children.

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 435
Hanover, N. H. They were married at Hanover, June 6, 1832.
She died Aug. 4, 1838.
Both wives enjoyed the advantages of the Ipswich Female
Seminary, under the able tuition of Miss Zilpah P. Grant and
Miss Mary Lyon. Both wives, also, were able and successful
teachers of common schools.
Mr. Vinton's early opportunities for acquiring knowledge were
very limited, being only such as the common schools, and those of
very inferior sort, in Boston and Braintree, where his childhood
was spent, afforded ; and he learned but little, except by himself
in private, until he had passed the age of twenty-two. But hav
ing an unquenchable thirst for an education, with a view to the
ministry of the gospel, he was no sooner liberated from the re
straints of shop-keeping, than he engaged, with all his powers, in
the business of preparing for college.. His father, not feeling able
to supply the means, two of his uncles, and two other gentlemen,
agreed to bear the expense. With only fifteen dollars in his
pocket, soon reduced to less than one, he started for Exeter from
Boston, June 18, 1823, going nearly all the way, forty-eight miles,
on foot, under a burning sun, having, three weeks before, walked
nearly all the way from Philadelphia to Boston, and was admitted
a student of Phillips (Exeter) Academy, on the 27th of June. At
Exeter, to make up felt deficiencies, he studied very hard, even till
past midnight, and with such success, that in fourteen months he
was found prepared to enter any college in the land. He entered
Dartmouth College, Sept. 22, 1824.
While a member of college, he employed his winter vacations
in teaching school, to obtain money to pay expenses, and his
spring and fall vacations in pedestrian tours, to see the country.
He visited Northampton, Hartford, and the towns along Connecti
cut River, from its mouth nearly to its source, New Haven, Provi
dence, Middlebury, Burlington, Vt. Lakes Champlain and George,
Cape Ann, Portland, the White Mountains of N. H., and many
other places, going on foot nearly all the way, the travel amount
ing to considerably more than one thousand miles. In these
journeys, he was careful to take religious tracts with him and dis
tribute them by the way; and to converse on the great concerns
of eternity as he had opportunity, often with entire strangers.
This had been his practice from the beginning of his religious life
in 1819. One of the most able and influential of our clergymen,
a man of fine taste and scholarship, and now greatly renowned as
the author of many of oup sweetest and noblest hymns, remem
bers to this day* conversations of this sort. He once said to me,
*The reference here is to the author of the beautiful hymn, known and sung
wherever the English language is spoken, beginning.
"My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour Divine."
A son of the author of this sublime hymn undertook, at a public meeting of
the American Board of Missions, a few years since, when Mr. Vinton was
more than seventy years of age, suffering from deafness and severe bodily ill-

436 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
"I remember, Brother V., how you used to walk, and talk with
me about my soul ! " He repeated this in a letter not long ago.
Mr. Vinton graduated at Dartmouth College, August 20, 1828,
holding the fifth rank, in a class of forty members, considered one
of the best that ever left that college. Of that class, ten became
presidents, and professors in college, six of whom ranked below
him. His appointment was the Greek Oration. His whole ex
pense in college was less than seven hundred dollars, nearly two
hundred of which was gained by'personal labor.
He passed three years of study in the Theological Seminary at
Andover, which he completed September 28, 1831.
From his childhood the subject of these notices had felt a deep
interest in foreign missions. Even from the age of nine or ten,
before any missionaries had left these shores, he was familiar with
the idea of sending the gospel to the heathen. In the Old Pano-
plist he read notices of what the English and German missiona
ries were doing in Ihdia, South Africa, and elsewhere. The
names of Carey, Marshman, and Ward, of Vanderkemp and
Kicherer,' and even of Ziegenbalg, Grundler, and Swartz, were
familiar to his thoughts. He heard Judson, Nott, and Hall
preach before they left this country. His interest increased with
each revolving year. In college and at the seminary it was the
general expectation that he would become a missionary. The
question being referred to the judgment of his classmates at An
dover, thirty-nine out of forty, by a formal vote, expressed their
opinion that he ought to engage in the foreign missionary service.
Dr. Woods, his instructor in theology, whom he often consulted,
warmly encouraged this devotion of himself to that good cause.
At Andover he was one of a circle of students, known to each
other as the "Society of Brethren," originally existing in Wil
liams College, who were pledged to go out as missionaries to the
heathen, if God in his providence should open the way. All
these brethren favored his going, and none more decidedly than
Sehauffler, Emerson, Munson, Lyman, Wright, and others, who
afterwards went out as missionaries, some of them at the cost of'
their lives by savage violence. The person whom these remarks
chiefly respect made a formal and explicit tender of himself as a
ness, to crowd him off from the platform, to which he had been admitted by
special permission of the Home Secretary, because there was no other place
where he could hear; thus in effect forbidding his presence in the meeting, de
nying him a seat when there were thirty or forty vacant seats close at hand,
and compelling him to stand in a corner by himself an hour and forty minutes
by the clock, till he could endure it no longer. It must have afforded rare
sport to this strange young man, thus to abuse an aged minister of the gospel,
old enough to be his grandfather, who had seen many years of hard labor in
the endeavor to benefit his fellow men, and who had rendered services to the
Missionary Board in arranging, compiling, and indexing many thousand of
their official papers, the accumulation of half a century, in eighty or ninety
portly volumes ; services which the Foreign Secretary pronounced "invalu
able." And this young savage, on being afterwards respectfully asked to
apologize for his brutal treatment, took no notice of the request, thus in effect
repeating the original offense. His father justified him in so doing, thus show
ing that a man may make excellent hymns, and yet disregard the rules of com
mon decency. Wounding expressions and abusive words were used, which
the sufferer bore in silence and forbears to repeat.

foreign missionary to the American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions about the first of January, 1831. To his great
surprise and disappointment, the offer was not accepted. The
slender and frail health of his intended wife was the reason as
signed for the refusal.
He feels the disappointment to this day. His studies and his
plans had been directed to this object. His plans for life were
now broken up. The field of labor for which he supposed he
was best fitted was refused him. After the lapse of more than
forty years, he still thinks he ought to have been a foreign mis
sionary. He has never been entirely satisfied with the life he hus
since led in the United States. His voice being slender and his
lungs weak, he has never been very successful as the occupant of
a pulpit. Men of whom it might be said, "vox et praeterea
nihil?'' have had greatly the advantage of him, and during a twen
ty years' ministry in New England his services as a preacher
have been obtained for less than two thousand dollars.
He has not, however, been without some degree of encourage
ment and success. In Bloomfield (now Skowhegan), Me., a hap
py revival of religion took place under his labors, nearly doubling
the church in that important place within three months.*
He spent in all seven years in Maine as a preacher, four years
in Vermont, and five years in Massachusetts, besides being a
chaplain in the State Alms House in Monson, Mass., and perform
ing an agency for the New Hampshire Bible Society, and an
agency for the American Society for Meliorating the Condition of
the Jews, located in the city of New York. He spent in all
twenty years in the ministry, much of the time preaching to des
titute and needy churches, and much of the time under the direc
tion of the Maine Missionary Society. He loved the work, but
was compelled in 1852 to quit it, from the failing health of him
self and wife. What little strength they had utterly failed.
Since 1852, he has devoted himself chiefly to writing for the
press. This employment commenced in 1818, when seventeen
years of age. There is at hand a list of one hundred and thirty
articles from his pen which have appeared in eight or ten influen
tial periodical publications since that time, most of them religious
in character, though some were historical and literary. Some
jvere articles of considerable length, as, " Japan," 18 pages, 8vo. ;
"Reminiscences of the- Early History of Park Street Church,
Boston," in eight numbers; "Memoir of Rev. Jonathan Parsons,"
22 pages; "Memoir of Rev. Parsons Cooke," 26 pages; "History
of the Antinomian Controversy of 1637," about 80 pages, and
some others, as, Reminiscences of Rev. Dr. Griffin, of Professor
* An inteUigent lady residing in that place, in a letter to a third person,
dated June, 1874. remarks : "Mr. Vinton's labors in that place may rightly
he compared to the sowing of seed which was soon followed by a plentiful
harvest. ... I cannot adequately express my recollections of his ministry.
Heaven wiU afford me higher joy in meeting him there, with all wJio were led
thither by him. . . . I feel assured you will not think me guilty of adula
tion if I say that Cowper's description of the minister whom Paul would ap
prove often occurs to my mind, when I think of Mr. Vinton."

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 449
3294.
De. Solon Osmond Richardson ' (Nathan? Nathan? Sam
uel? Samuel? Samuel? Samuel1), second son of Dr. Nathan6
and Asenath (Rice) Richardson; born in Reading, July 19, 1809;
married, April 3, 1837, Susan Barnard, born Sept. 28, 1818,
daughter of Jacob Barnard, an innkeeper of Boston, first husband
of his father's third wife. At the time of the marriage, she was
of North Reading.
He pursued his literary course at the public schools of Reading,
and at Atkinson Academy, N. H., and the Pinkerton Academy in
Derry, N. H. His father's time being engrossed with his exten
sive practice, he studied the medical profession at the Medical
School connected with Dartmouth College, and received the de
gree of M. D. from that institution, Nov. 30, 1831. He then im
mediately entered on the practice of medicine with his father, in
his native town of South Reading.
For a time he was assistant surgeon in the State Prison.
Besides practice at home, he had offices in Salem, Lowell, and
Boston ; visiting each of those cities on certain days, driving to
and from them in a private carriage.
Following in the steps of his father, he gave special attention
to the proper methods of treating diseases of the heart, throat,
and lungs.
The father, as early as 1808, had introduced into his practice a
remedy, which he called "Sherry Wine Bitters," which proved, it
is said, an effective and useful agent in the cure of some diseases.
The son, in his own practice, made extensive use of the article,
and ultimately went largely into its manufacture and sale. He
provided several expensive teams, which were constantly em
ployed in transporting the medicine to different parts of the New
England States. Fearful of the effect on his health, which was
never robust, of too much business, when the extensive practice
of his father devolved on him, he very reluctantly abandoned the
profession in which his father had succeeded so well, as his only
chance for life, and gave all his energies to the preparation and
sale of the "Bitters." In this business he prospered so highly,
the business amounting in 1868 to one hundred thousand dollars
annually, that be was able not only to support his family very
handsomely, but to bestow considerable sums for the improvement
and prosperity of the town.
Becoming interested in military affairs, he favored, in 1851, the
formation of a local uniformed military company, which, from re
spect to him, was called the " Richardson Light Guard." * At the

*It was composed mainly of men residing in South Reading, now Wake
field. When it became evident, in January, 1861, that secession of the South
ern States was seriously intended, every member of this company manifested
his readiness, when called, to march to the field of battle. News being re
ceived, at noon, April 19, 1861, of the attack on our troops at Baltimore, the
church bells were rung, guns were fired, the members of the company began
immediately to rally, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the company
marched forth from their armory, numbering eighty- seven men, rank and filet.

outset, he presented to the company the sum of five hundred
dollars. For years the expenses of the company, parades, tar
get practice, music, and often a bountiful collation, were borne
by him.
In 1852, he was chosen town treasurer, which office he chose to
leave after one year. He was through life a member and liberal
supporter of the Universalist society.
He died, as his father did, of apoplexy, suddenly attacked when
making a social call at the house of Cyrus* Wakefield, Aug 31,
1873, aged 64, after an illness of a few hours. His remains rest
in the Mount Auburn Cemetery. [Lilley Eaton's History of Old

Cleveland, Ohio, successfully pursuing the employments of peace.
The foregoing account he gave to me personally in my own
house in Winchester, Dec. 19, 1873. He is a strong, well-built
man, of a large, athletic, compact frame, full six feet in height, of
a noble, commanding presence, of generous disposition, striking
the most casual observer as a man of mark.
His wife is still living.

married, March 5, 1838, Rev. Elkanah Walker, born in North
Yarmouth, Me., Aug. 7, 1805.
He was the fifth son and seventh child of Jeremiah and Jane
(Marston) Walker, of North Yarmouth, Me. He was prepared
. for college at Kimball Union Academy, Plainfield, N. H., but did
not enter college; at least did not graduate. He went through a
course of theological study at the seminary in Bangor, Me., comr
pleting the course in 1837. He was ordained to the work of a
missionary to the heathen in February, 1839. In March, follow-
inf, with as little delay as possible, he started with his new wife,
overland, for the Oregon Territory, leaving the western frontier
of the State of Missouri April 22d, and after traversing an unex
plored wilderness of two thousand miles from that frontier ar
rived at the missionary station of Dr. Marcus Whitman,* at
Wallawalla, among the Kayuses Indians, Aug. 29.
.  .  -  y.
* To this very capable and faithful man the United States and the whole
Christian world owe a debt of gratitude which can never be repaid. The In
dians hving near the Columbia River, having obtained from the white people
some knowledge of the true God, sent men over the mountains to learn more
about the Maker and Benefactor of the universe. This led to the sending of
missionaries among them. Rev. Samuel Parker and Henry H. Spalding, or- ¦
dained missionaries, and Dr. Marcus Whitman, a physician, left the white
settlements on a mission to these Indians early in March, 1836. It took sever
al months to reach their destination, the only way of traveling being on horse
back. As a physician, Dr. Whitman had excellent opportunities of becoming
acquainted with the fur traders and trappers in that region, who were nearly
all connected with the Hudson's Bay Company and other companies of like
character. From what he saw and heard, he soon became convinced that a
plan had been laid to obtain possession of the whole region in the interest of
Great Britain and of the Romish faith. This purpose, indeed, had been
avowed by Sir George Simpson, the leading official of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany, in 1828, and everything seemed tending to its accomplishment. The
Hudson's Bay Company had already established several colonies of their re
tired servants (mostly Catholics) in those territories.
Dr. Whitman, like a true Christian patriot, seeing that there was no time to
be lost, hastened over the Rocky Mountains, in mid winter, proceeded to
Washington, saw Mr. Webster, Secretary of State, and President Tyler on the
subject. . They told him he was too late, for negotiations had already com
menced to cede that whole country to England, it being supposed to be of no
value to us— so they had heard — in exchange for some fishing grounds. ' Dr.
Whitman persuaded them not to do so ; told them the exceeding value of the
country, and that he himself was about to lead a colony of a thousand souls
across the mountains. As he was a missionary, they believed him, and so the
transfer was stopped.

POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 465
Mr. and Mrs. Walker were accompanied by Messrs. Cushing
Eells, and Asa Bowen Smith, and their wives, missionaries des
tined to the same field. Messrs. Eells and Walker and their
wives spent the winter with Dr. Whitman. In the following
spring they commenced a new station among the Spokan or Flat
head Indians, near Fort Colville, a trading-post of the Hudson's
Bay Company. It was on the Spokan River, a branch of Clarke's
River, which is the northern branch of Columbia River. They
continued to labor among these Indians between nine and ten
years. On the 29th of November, 1847, the philanthropic and
excellent Dr. Whitman, his wife, Mr. Rogers, his assistant, two
adopted children, and nine other white men, not connected with
the mission, were massacred by the Indians, no previous warning
having been given.
In consequence of this terrible affair, all our missions among
the Oregon Indians were speedily discontinued. . Mr. and Mrs.
Walker removed to the Willamette Valley. He has since labored
among the white people, and is now, or was lately, pastor of a
Congregational Church at Forest Grove, Washington County,
Oregon. Mrs. Walker was baptized in infancy ; joined the Congrega
tional Church in Baldwin, Me., in 1831 ; removed with her hus
band to Oregon in 1838, as already stated; has enjoyed firm
health, and made a visit with her husband to the Eastern States
in the summer of 1871, after an absence of thirty-three years.

In February, 1866, a most terrible calamity overtook him. His
professional engagements required his presence at New Orleans,
and he was in that city awaiting the coming of his family to join
him. His wife and their three children, being all who were then
living, were descending the Mississippi River in the steamer W.
R. Carter, and were now near Vicksburg, Miss. It was the night
of the second of February ; the night was dark, the weather cold,
and by some inexcusable carelessness the boiler of the steamer
exploded, involving the destruction of near three hundred lives,
including the entire family of Dr. Richardson. Such a sorrow
can very seldom happen to any individual.
The children of this deeply afflicted man were :

*The mention of Governor Colby recalls to the compiler's memory the very
pleasant acquaintance he enjoyed with that gentleman and his father, when
teaching a district school in New London in the winter of 1827-8. It also re
calls to mind a son and daughter of Mr. Colby who were under my care, of
whom the daughter Susan was some years preceptress of the New Hampton
Literary Institution, and about 1852 became the wife of James B. Colgate, of
New York City, now, 1874, President of the New York Gold Board. "She is
beloved by everybody," is the report which has come to me. Gov. Colbv died
July 20, 1873, aged 80. Mrs. Colby is still living, April, 1874.

Hon. Roswell Minard Richardson b (Samuel? David? Zeb
adiah? Ebenezer? Stephen? Stephen? Samuel1), eldest son of
Samuel7 and Mehitable (Shurtleff) Richardson; born in Comp
ton, Canada East, April 7, 1814; married, March 9, 1848, in Bos
ton, at the house of Mr. James Page, 58 Temple Street, by Rev.
Cyrus A. Bartol, D. D., to Ann Hutchins Hapgood,7 bom in
Petersham, Mass., Jan. 18, 1819. She was the daughter of
Thomas6 and Betsey (Hopkins) Hapgood, and granddaughter of
Hutchins3 and Elizabeth (Grout) Hapgood.*
*Hon. Hutchins Hapgood,6 her grandfather, was the son of Dea. Seth,4 who
wa3 son of Capt. Thomas,8 who was a son of Thomas,2 and grandson of Shad-
bach Hapgood,1 the original emigrant of the name, who embarked at Graves
end, in the Speedwell, May 30, 1656, bound for New England, and was slain
by the Indians at Quaboag, now Brookfield, Aug. 2, 1675. [See Morse's Hap
good Genealogy, vol. ii.]
Hutchins Hapgood was born April 6, 1763; married Elizabeth Grout,6 daugh
ter of Hon. Jonathan Grout,4 Oct. 20, 1789, and died Sept. 4, 1837. His wife
Elizabeth was born April 26, 1764, and died Jan. 11, 1835. He was a merchant
in Petersham, Worcester County, Mass., and was eminent as a citizen and a
magistrate. He was active iu resisting the lawless schemes of Daniel Shays
and his faction; was at one time captured by them, and held as a prisoner un
til the advance of Gen. Lincoln's forces, combined with his own address and
boldness, effected his release. He was a member of the legislature of Massa
chusetts eight years ; was postmaster of Petersham many years, and was a
member ofthe convention held for revising the constitution of Massachusetts
after the separation of Maine in 1820.
The wife of Hutchins Hapgood, and grandmother of Mrs. Richardson in the
text, was Elizabeth Grout. She was a daughter of Hon. Jonathan Grout,4 son
of John,8 son of Jonathan,2 son of Capt. John Grout,1 who settled in Water-
town as early as 1641, having in that year and previously a grant of eight lots
of land. He died July 25, 1697, leaving a handsome estate. At the time of
his death he was of Sudbury. [Bond's Watertown Genealogies.]
Jonathan Grout4 was born in Lunenburg, Mass., July 23, 1737, and in 1760
married Sarah Page, a relative and probably aunt of Gov. Page, of New
Hampshire. She died in Petersham, Mass., March 22, 1814, aged 71. Col.
Grout, her husband, died at Dover, ST. H., Sept. 8, 1807, aged 70, while attend
ing a suit in court.
He was engaged in the Old French war in 1760 ; the same year he married
and settled in Petersham as a lawyer. He and Gen, Artemas Ward, of
Shrewsbury, became the master spirits in the County of Worcester, moulding
for successive generations the political character of that whole region, and re
ceiving from the citizens nearly every office in their power to bestow.
He was a colonel in the Revolutionary war, commanding a regiment at the
siege of Boston. Had he continued in the military service, he might have vied
with Sullivan, Stark, Putnam, Prescott, and other Revolutionary heroes. His
services in civil life were perhaps not less honorable to himself or useful to Ijis
country. His talents were of a high order, and he wrote with rare ability.
He was considered by some, and no doubt with truth, ambitious, but his pa
triotism none could doubt. He was a member of the Provincial Congress at
Cambridge in February, 1775. He was, in 1789, with Fisher Ames, Caleb.
Strong, Elbridge Gerry, and others, elected a member of the First Congress of
the United States under the Federal Constitution, being the representative
from Worcester County. Iu this capacity he was a supporter of the adminis
tration and policy of Washington. Afterwards, when parties were more com
pletely formed, he was a member of the Democratic party. Original letters
are still preserved in the family addressed to Col. Grout by John and Samuel
Adams, John Hancock, Fisher Ames, and other statesmen of that day.
He engaged largely in land speculations, owning at one time forty thousand
acres in Vermont and New Hampshire, including a township in Vermont to
which he secured the name of Lunenburg, in honor of his native place, and
where for years he passed much of his time. He accumulated a large- estate,
but being involved in many lawsuits, the usual consequences followed, in the
abatement of his prosperity. [From Morse's Genealogy of the Grout Family.]
It should have been mentioned that the mother of Mrs. Richardson, and wife

He left his home in December, 1829, at fifteen years of age;
went to Hatley Village, Canada East, as a clerk in the store of
"William G. Cook, remaining there till April 1, 1830. He then
was a clerk in Canaan, Vt., in the store of Josiah Parmelee, Esq.,
until May 25, 1832, when he went to Northumberland, N. H.,
clerk for Willson & Bellows, in their store. He remained with
them till Jan. 1, 1836, when he purchased the interest of Mr. Bel
lows, and succeeded him as the partner of Gen. John "Willson,
under the firm of Willson & Richardson, in the store at the end
of the toll-bridge over Connecticut River, in Northumberland,
until 1845.
"While in Northumberland, he was several times elected chair
man of the board of selectmen. In 1840, he was appointed
United States Deputy Marshal, and took the census of Coos
County, N. H., the same year. He was appointed by Gov. Isaac
Hill adjutant of the Forty-second Regiment, Eighth Brigade, of
New Hampshire Militia in 1838; lieutenant colonel, by Gov.
John Page, June 23, 1840; colonel, by Gov. John H. Steele,
June 20, 1844, and brigadier general, by Gov. Anthony Colby,
July 6, 1846, from which position he retired June 20, 1848, after
removing to Vermont; was appointed justice of the peace by
Gov. Henry Hubbard, Sept. 5, 1842, which position he held while
a resident of the State.
He commenced lumbering on Connecticut River in 1842. In
1847, removed to "Wells River, Newbury, Vt., and manufactured
lumber at Dodge's Falls, situated four miles above "Wells River,
on Connecticut River, continuing in that business till 1854; was
elected chairman of board of selectmen in Newbury, 1851 — cer
tainly complimentary, as he had been a resident only three years ;
appointed justice of the peace in Vermont, Nov. 30, 1855.
In 1854, he erected mills for the manufacture of lumber on
Nulhegan River, in Essex County, Vt., on the line of the Grand
Trunk Railway, and April 1, 1856, removed to Portland, Me. In
1858, he sold an interest in his lumbering business to Hon. John
Lynch and Mr. Peleg Barker, of Portland, which made the firm
of R. M. Richardson & Co., continuing until their mills were de
stroyed by fire in 1870.
Mr. Richardson was a partner in the firm of Shaw, Haskell &
Richardson, wholesale grocers on Commercial Street, Portland,
of Thomas Hapgood was Betsey Hopkins, a daughter of Capt. Samuel6 and
Elizabeth (Hastings) Hopkins. Samuel 6 was a son of Moses,6 son of Samuel,4
son of Stephen,8 son of Giles,2 who was a son of Stephen Hopkins,1 the Pil
grim, who came over in the Mayflower, 1620, in her memorable voyage. Eliza
beth Hastings 6 was daughter of Walter,4 son of Daniel,8 son of John,2 born at
sea, son of John,1 who emigrated from England with two sons, first settling in
Braintree, where he was admitted freeman, May 10. 1643. Betsey Hopkins
had a sister Thirza, who was the wife of James Page, of Boston. Hence the
name of James Page Richardson, in the family of Mayor Richardson.
James and Thirza Page had a son Henry A. Page, a successful and now re
tired merchant of Boston, whose wife's maiden name was Eliza Wales Bige
low, her mother being Abigail Richardson, a daughter of John Richardson, of
Templeton, a descendant of Thomas Richardson,1 one of the three brothers
of Woburn, 1641.

POSTERITY OP SAMUEL RICHARDSON. 499
from 1861 to 1865, and then of the firm of Richardson, Harris &
Co., from 1867 to Jan. 1, 1875, at No. 147 Commercial Street.
In 1860, he was a member of the lower branch of the city
council of Portland ; Democratic nominee for senator for Cum
berland County, 1861, but failed of an election through party di
visions on war issues; was elected Mayor of Portland, March 1,
1875, by a handsome majority over his opponent, Mr. "Westcott,
who was the mayor the previous year. The vote stood 2,467 for
Richardson, 2,000 for "Westcott, 30 scattering; majority for Rich
ardson 437. In March, 1876, this was reversed, on party grounds
merely. The compiler believes him to be every way worthy the
high position he has filled. Parties are unavoidable under a free
constitution, and to a certain extent useful; but when, as in the
present instance, they lead to the displacement of an upright and
faithful public servant, the evil is to be regretted.
He is a large owner of timber lands, perhaps the largest, in
Essex County, Vt. His name appears upon the records of the
registry of deeds for Coos County, N. H., and Essex County, Vt.,
one hundred and forty-one times as grantee and one hundred and
twenty-eight times as grantor.
He has taken a deep interest in the history of the Richardson
family, and the present writer is very largely indebted to him for
"contributions to this volume, as well as for encouragement of an
other kind. His children have been :
5000. James Page,9 b. in Newbury, Wells River, Vt., Nov. 23, 1851;
d. in Portland, Me., of typhoid brain fever, Sept. 8, 1872.*
* James Page Richardson,9 eldest son of Gen. R. M. Richardson,13 was
prepared for college in the grammar and high schools of Portland. He gradu
ated with honor at Harvard College, June, 1872, and died at his father's house
in September following, as above recorded. During his senior year he became
much interested in his family history, it being one of the college requirements
that every student furnish for preservation in the college the history of his
own family as fully as possible. The subject was very attractive to him, and
he pursued it in his leisure hours as far as his opportunities allowed. His re
searches included not only the Richardson family, but allied families bearing
the names of Shurtleff, Snow, Dearborn, Hastings, and Hopkins. His
last labors of this kind had relation to the Shurtleff family, just before his
final sickness. The following notice, prepared by his friend and teacher, Mr.
A. P. Stone, Principal of the Portland High School, appeared in one of the
public papers soon after his decease :
"The subject of this notice seemed, by nature and by education, to be emi
nently fitted for a career of usefulness, in which his friends had every reason
to believe he would prove himself a valuable member of the community. But
at the very threshold of his manhood Death claimed him as his own. Most, if
not all, of his elementary education he received in the public schools of this
city. From the Park Street Grammar School he entered the High School in
1864, from which he graduated with distinction in 1868. His schoolmates and
teachers bear unanimous testimony to the earnestness and fidelity with which
all his school duties were discharged, and his kind and becoming demeanor
towards all. After leaving the high school he entered Harvard College, and
completed the four years' course of study with great credit. He then proposed
to spend a few weeks in rest and travel, and then to enter upon the study of
a profession. But scarcely had those few weeks passed, when a brief though
painful illness interrupted his plans, and his life work was ended. His life
was one of singular purity, and of entire freedom from habits which tarnish
the reputation and destroy the character of many young men in every com
munity."

504 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.

POSTEEITY OP THOMAS RICHARDSON.
jFtrst (KaTcration.
5100.
Thomas Richaedson 1 was the youngest of the three brothers
of that name, Ezekiel, Samuel, and Thomas, who united with
Edward Convers, Edward Johnson, John Mousall, William
Learned, and others, in the settlement of "Woburn, and the for
mation of a church there, in 1641. The seven men, whose names
have just been written, were the commissioners chosen by the
church in Charlestown, Nov. 5, 1640, to commence the settlement;
with this exception that William Learned was substituted soon
after for Thomas Graves, who had been chosen, but declined tak
ing part in the enterprise.
Ezekiel Richardson, it is well known, came from England in the
fleet with "Winthrop in 1630, and must have been in Charlestown
by the sixth of July in that year, when fifteen ships of that fleet
had already arrived. It is highly probable that he originated in
Norfolk, England, where the name had been settled as early as
the sixteenth century, and doubtless long before. It appears that
Winthrop, whose home was in Groton, in the adjoining county of
Suffolk, had already invited Ezekiel Richardson to accompany
him on the voyage, and that the latter had consented to go. Hub
bard, in his History, p. 133, says, "the greater number came from
about London," which would include, at least, a part of Norfolk.
The family of Richardson, however, existed in Sussex, Surrey,
and many other counties.
It is believed that Samuel1 and Thomas Richardson,1 who were
younger than Ezekiel, did not come from England, till at least five
years after. The colonists suffered greatly from famine during the
first year, and few came over till 1633 or later. A list of the in
habitants of Charlestown, dated Jan. 9, 1633-4, does not contain
the name of Samuel or Tbomas Richardson. The same deficiency
exists in a similar list, made one year after. The first notice we
find of either of these brothers, is dated Feb. 21, 1635-6, when
Mary, the wife of Thomas Richardson united with the church' in
Charlestown. Samuel and Thomas Richardson joined said church
the 18th of the 12th month [February], 1637-8 ; in consequence
whereof they were admitted freemen of the colony, May 2, 1638.
Their names are found on the records of Charlestown for the first
time in 1637, when to each of them the town granted a ho_use-
plot, clearly indicating that they had recently become citizens of

POSTERITY OP THOMAS RICHARDSON. 505
the place. The same year, their names are for the first time found
on the records as citizens of Charlestown. They doubtless came
from England together.
The three brothers were all young. They probably did not
marry until on the eve of embarking for America ; Ezekiel in 1630 ;
Samuel and Thomas in 1635. This is inferred from the dates of
the births of their children.
The three brothers had lots assigned them, April 20, ,1638, on
" Misticke Side and above the Ponds," that is, in Maiden. The
share they had in the settlement of Woburn, and the organization
of the church in that town, has been sufficiently related in the
notices already given of Ezekiel and Samuel Richardson.
Thomas Richardson died in "Woburn, August 28, 1651. There
is no will of his on reco'rd. Below is an inventory of his estate
found in the Middlesex Registry of Probate, dated Sept. 22, 1651,
and signed by Edward Johnson, Edward Convers, John Mousall,
and Samuel Richardson.

meals. The same is likely to have been true in the dwellings of
the colonists generally.

part of Salem, and was called New Salem. Thomas Fuller, the
ancestor of the Fullers of New England, came from England,
1638, and died in Middleton, June, 1698. His eldest son,
Thomas, born April 30, 1644, married a sister of Isaac Richard
son, and was one of the overseers and witnesses of his will.
He lived on "Richardson's Row," in the easterly part of Wo
burn, and about half a mile, more or less, from the present village
of Winchester. His farm adjoined that of the second Ezekiel
Richardson 8 [20], son of Theophilus.2 His will, dated Feb. 28,
1688-9, recorded Midd. Prob. Rec, vii. 11, a copy of which is
before me, mentions wife Deborah, son Jonathan, then under
twenty-one years of age, sons Edward, Joseph, Benjamin, and
David, all minors, and daughters Mary and Elizabeth. " Two
eldest sisters" are mentioned, to whom Jonathan, the eldest son,
was to pay ten pounds each when they came of age. Their
names do not appear in this connection, but they must have been
Mary and Phebe. The testator disposes of other land, and a
house then building, besides the homestead. He had a lot near
"bare hill" — more correctly Bear Hill — in Charlestown, after
wards included in Stoneham. Samuel Richardson [1556], Steph

1645 ; married, first, in Cambridge, Jan. 5, 1669-70, Maey Stimp-
son. They were married by the eminent Daniel Gookin, so often
mentioned in the early history of Massachusetts.* In those days,
* Daniel Gookin came from Kent, by way of Ireland, to Virginia, in 1621.
In May, 1644, he came to Boston, induced thereto by the intolerance of Gov.
Berkeley, who would allow of no dissent from the established religion. In
Massachusetts he was a magistrate, an assistant, governor of the Praying In
dians, and major general of the militia of the colony. He lived in Cambridge.

508 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
marriage, being regarded as a civil ordinance, was performed by
the civil magistrate. The town records of Cambridge, as copied,
call Thomas Richardson's wife Mary Stevenson. She died June
7, 1690, the mother of nine children. Second, in Billerica, Dec.
29, 1690, Saeah Patten, widow of Thomas Patten, of Billerica,
who died Jan. 16, 1689-90, aged about 54. They were married
by Major Jeremiah Swain.
He removed from "Woburn to Billerica, previously known as
Shawshin, about the year 1667, and settled, it is believed, on a
large tract of about nine hundred acres of land, quite in the east
erly part of the town, called the Cambridge School Farm, a little
west of the Shawshin River, and north of the present Boston
Road. He was a soldier in the company of Capt. Samuel Gallup
in the land expedition to Canada, by way of Albany, in 1690,
which utterly failed. He was a deputy from Billerica to the
General Court of Massachusetts in 1703 and 1704.
Some time after, he gave to his eldest son, Thomas, a farm
near the Boston Road, now "Washington Street ; to Andrew, a
farm north of Thomas, and to Nathaniel, a farm north of Andrew.
The deed to Andrew is dated Oct. 14, 1705, and there is a deed
to his grandson Thomas, son of Thomas, dated Feb. 25, 1709-10.
He .died in Billerica, Feb. 25, 1720-1, in his seventy-sixth year.
His widow Sarah died Nov. 20, 1734.
His will is dated April 10, 1719; proved March 24, 1720-1;
recorded Midd. Prob. Rec, xvi. 241. He gives to wife Sarah
twenty pounds, outright, to be paid within one year after his de
cease, and, provided she shall give to his executors a quitclaim of
his estate, twenty pounds more, within two years. He gives to
his daughter Mary Farmer what she had not already received of
her portion. His eldest son, Thomas, has deceased ; he, the tes
tator, gives to the children of Thomas, in addition to what
Thomas had already received, enough to make a double portion.
He gives to John Richardson, son of Thomas, the eldest son,
aforesaid, eighty-seven acres of upland on the south-east side of
Shawshin River, and forty-five acres of meadow and upland at
Lubber's Brook [which must be an affluent of the Shawshin],
and two acres of meadow at the lower end of my Content Mead
ow. He gives to his son Jonathan the refusal, at two hundred
and sixty pounds, of his homestead, with the meadow and upland,
and several other parcels of land, the prices of all which are care
fully set, and Jonathan, if he takes them, is to pay the overplus,
more than his portion, to his mother and sisters. He gives to his
son Nathaniel a certain lot and to his son Andrew a certain lot of
land. " And my will is, that if any of my children do not sit
down contented with what I have done, they shall have no more
than twenty shillings, besides what they have already received."
He intends that his sons and daughters shall each have an equal
share, except that his eldest son's family shall have a double por
tion. He appoints his sons Andrew and Nathaniel to be executors.

seven townships to the soldiers, or their heirs, who had done service in the
Narraganset campaign of 1675, in " Philip's war."' These townships, at least
some of them, were in the central and western parts of Massachusetts. West
minster, in Worcester County, was "Narraganset No. 2." Templeton, in the
same county, was "Narraganset No. 6." The grantees of Narraganset No. 6
had a meeting, and in 1735 appointed a committee of live persons to lay out
lots in Templeton, of forty acres each, for early cultivation. One of the com
mittee was Joshua Richardson [52201. He drew one of these lots, as beine a
grandson of Nathaniel Richardson2 [5116]. It was probably in this way that

xxxvii. 69. But another deed, dated Jan. 5, 1722-3, describes him
as of Providence, as does another conveyance, Jan. 1, 1725-6.
His children, so far as we have information, born in Mendon, were :
5149. Isaac,4 b. Jan. 29,1701; he was of Mendon, "a husbandman,"
in January, 1726 and 1760; and of Smithfield, R. I., 1731.
5150. Jonathan,* b. Sept. 15, 1702.
5151. Miriam,4 b. Oct. 30, 1704.

5119.
Joseph Richaedson8 (Isaac? Thomas1), brother of the pre
ceding; born in Woburn, June 25, 1674.
He united with his brother Jonathan in a conveyance of land
in Woburn, probably in the present town of Winchester, which
they inherited from their father Isaac Richardson, who died in
April, 1689. At the date of this conveyance, which I have not
now at hand, both brothers had left, or were soon to leave, Wo
burn. He owned land in Stoneham, probably near "Bear Hill,"
for which he was taxed as a non-resident, in 1726-7. Further in
formation is lacking.

Benjamin Richaedson8 (Isaac? Thomas1), twin brother of
the preceding; born in Woburn, June 25, 1674; married Lydia
(Deapee) Whittemoee, of Charlestown, March 14, 1699-1700.
Her maiden name was Draper, daughter of Nathaniel Draper;
and she was, previous to this marriage, a widow Scott. They
were married by Rev. Simon Bradstreet, minister of the first
church in Charlestown*
*Some information respecting the connection of Lydia with the Richardson
family may be gained from the following notice.
A document found among the deeds on record in the County of York, Me.,
book 21, leaves 50 to 52 is a " Division Deed," conveying to John Burt, Joseph
Roberts, Esther Roberts, Samuel Whittemore, Samuel Richardson, Thomas
Richardson, Benjamin Richardson, and Isaac Richardson, a certain tract of
land in the County of York, which then, and till 1760, included the whole ter
ritory of Maine, containing about ten thousand acres, lying on the west side
of Sheepscot River, etc., which was formerly part of the estate of Nathaniel
Draper, which tract of land is commonly called the Upper Township, which
was on the eighteenth day of September last divided into ten parts or lots,
and by them respectively drawn  and in and by this division-deed the lots
No. 1 and No. 9, are set off to Esther Roberts, Samuel Richardson, Thomas liich-
ardson, Benjamin Richardson, and Isaac Richardson, as their part and por
tion thereof. Dated January 23, 1738, and signed by all the parties above
named. It appears to me evident that the parties above named were grandchildren of

512 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
He lived in what is now the town of Stoneham, on the border
of Woburn. Stoneham was then a part of Charlestown, and known
as " Charlestown End," until its incorporation, Dec. 17, 1725. He
removed about 1717, to the new town of Leicester, incorporated
February, 1713. Leicester was then, and till 1731, in Middlesex
County, which will account for the settlement of his estate in that
county. He died in 1728, and a request for administration on his
estate was presented by his widow Lydia, Jan. 6, 1728-9. [Midd.
Prob. Rec, xviii. 414.] The widow Ly elia married a Parker of Mid
dleton, and was a third time a widow, Dec. 16,- 1744, when by
deed of gift she gave all her property to her son Isaac and daugh
ter Lydia Kenney. [Essex Deeds, lxxxvii. 122.]
The children of Benjamin and Lydia Richardson were :
+5152. Benjamin,4 b. April 8, 1703; m. Patience Earle.
+5153. Isaac,4 b. April 2, 1705 ; m. Elizabeth Richardson.
+5154. Lydia,4 b. Nov. 28, 1710; m. Isaac Kenney, of Middleton.
All bom and recorded in Stoneham. Whether others were born
after the removal to Leicester, does not appear.

David Richaedson8 (Isaac? Thomas1), brother ofthe pre
ceding, and son of Isaac2 and Deborah (Fuller) Richardson; born
in Woburn, Feb. 4, 1678-9 ; married Rebecca  .
He was a yeoman, and lived at Wills Hill, in what was then
Danvers. His name occurs in a petition, with twenty-three others,
dated Feb. 28, 1726-7, addressed to the parish, asking for an
abatement of their tax for the salary of Rev. Peter Clark, of
Danvers, for the reason that they now had preaching in their own
neighborhood, afterwards incorporated June 20, 1728, as part of
Middleton. His wife, Rebecca Richardson, was admitted to the
church in Danvers, Dec. 3, 1725.
His will is dated April 5, 1748 ; proved Aug. 15, 1748. He died
in the interval.
Inventory, forty-five acres of land with the buildings thereon.
His children were :
+5155. Solomon,4 m. first, Elizabeth Goodale ; second, Abigail Buxton.

1746.
5157. Bethiah,4 b. March 9, 1728 ; living, and unm. at date of father's
will.
Nathaniel Draper. Benjamin Richardson and Isaac Richardson were brothers,
and sons of Benjamin3 and Lydia Richardson. Samuel Richardson and
Thomas Richardson, were, I think, half-brothers, sons of Samuel Richardson2
[1556]. The second wife of Samuel Richardson3 [1572] was Esther, perhaps,
Esther Roberts. Samuel Whittemore was a near relative of Lydia, being her
surety on a bond as administratrix of her deceased husband's estate, 1729.
By another " division-deed," dated the same day, the eight parties first
named in this note, with the addition of Charles Coffin, were the proprietors
of a tract of land in the County of York, containing about twenty thousand
acres, which had by them been divided into two townships, the Upper and
the Lower. These townships were in what is now the County of Lincoln,
and very near Wiscasset.
The four Richardsons, Samuel, Benjamin, Thomas, and Isaac, all of Woburn,
bought of John Ludgate, land on Sheepscot River and other places, Oct. 6,

5130.
Thomas Richaedson8 (Thomas? Thomas1), eldest son of
Thomas 2 and Mary (Stimpson) Richardson ; born in Billerica,
Mass., Dec. 30, 1675 ; married Abigail  .
He was a farmer, and spent his life in Billerica. His father
gave him, while living, a large farm, which was confirmed to his
widow and children by agreement of the other heirs, in an instru
ment recorded Midd. Prob. Records, xvii. 126, 127, 128. The
farm consisted of eighty-seven acres of upland on the south-east
side of Shawshin River, forty-five acres of meadow and upland
on Lubber's Brook, an affluent of the Shawshin, and two acres
of meadow in Content Meadow ; besides rights in the homestead,
and thirty pounds received in the father's life-time.
The son died before the father, March 18, 1717-18, aged 42.
Abigail, his widow, died June 4, 1758 ; and the property was then
confirmed to the children.
In 1756, the children, Martha, wife of Thomas Hosley, Ruth,
wife of William Tarbell, Sarah, wife of Francis Crosby, Susanna,
unmarried, Abigail Hill, widow, and Anna, wife of Samuel Bailey,
of Lancaster, united in a written engagement to support their
mother, widow Abigail Richardson. [Midd. Prob. Records.]
The children of Thomas and Abigail Richardson were :
5158. Abigail,4 b. Nov. 8, 1700; m. first, Nathaniel Dunton, of Charles
town, May 25, 1715 ; second,  Hill ; a widow in 1756.
+5159. Thomas,4 b. about 1702; m. Sarah Ditson.
+5160. John,4 b. about 1704.

5162. Martha,4 b. April 18, 1708; m. Thomas Hosley, of Billerica.
The date of birth as given in the town record is evidently
erroneous. They were both living in 1756.
5163. Anna,4 b. about 1710 ; m. Samuel Bailey, of Lancaster. Both
living in 1756.
5164. Mary,4 b. 1711 ; unm. ; living at date of her father's will, 1718,
but died before 1756.

1756.
5166. Susanna,4 b. 1715 ; unm. ; a,nd living in 1756.
5167. Sarah,4 b. Aug. 31, 1717 ; m. Francis Crosby ; both living in 1756.
The records of Billerica are very defective.

ca, contiguous to that of his brother Andrew. After his father's
death, 1721, he received from the estate thirty-two acres of up
land, on Content Plain, and about eight acres in Mill Swamp, at
a place called the Black Hole.

* Such is the statement on the Billerica town record; it is not strictly cor

were lurking in the neighborhood of Port Dummer, in what is now the town
of Brattleborough, Vt., in May and June, 1747. A squad of twelve men from
Capt. Josiah Willard's ccmpany, on their way to Port Dummer, were way
laid by a much larger body of Indians in ambush, and were taken wholly by
surprise. The Indians fired, killed, and scalped Joseph Richardson and two
others, all of Billerica; took seven prisoners and made their escape to Canada.
There was no battle. [Hist, of Northfield, p. 262.]

Hannah Feench, daughter of John French, of Billerica.
He passed his life in Billerica. As already mentioned, he went
to Dunstable and Groton, as a soldier, in July, 1706. His father,
during his life, gave him property to the amount of fifty pounds.
He is mentioned in his father's will, dated April 10, 1719, as then
living. "He died suddenly, Aug. 13, 1720," says the town rec
ord. In the agreement of the father's heirs, made Feb. 25, 1721,
he is spoken of as deceased, and in the settlement of the estate
the minor children of Jonathan are represented by William
French, jr., who must have been their mother's brother, son of
John, and grandson of William French, born in England, 1604,
one of the founders of the town of Billerica.
He left no will. Administration of his estate was granted to
the widow, Jan. 9, 1720-1. Samuel Dunton, of Reading, born
1688, was the surety of the bond given by the administratrix.
The widow Hannah became the wife of Benjamin Frost previous

27, 1673 ; married, Sept. 18, 1694, Abigail Reed, born Jan. 2,
1678-9, daughter of Israel and Mary (Kendall) Reed, of Wo
burn. Israel Reed was born in England, and was the son of
William and Mabel Reed, who came from England in 1635 ; lived
in Woburn a while; returned to England, where William died in
1656. His widow Mabel, the same year, came back with her
eight children, one of whom was Israel. From Israel the name
has been transmitted among his descendants in the Richardson
family down to Major General Israel B. Richardson, mortally
wounded at Antietam, Sept. 17, 1862.
Nathaniel Richardson resided in Woburn, his native town, till
after 1710. After this date he removed to Rumney Marsh, now
Chelsea, then a precinct in Boston. About 1718, he removed to

516 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
Leicester, a new town, incorporated Feb. 15, 1713. About that
time, and soon after, many other families removed thither from
Woburn, Maiden, and other towns in Middlesex County, of
which county Leicester was a part till 1731. Of Leicester he was
town clerk and selectman in 1722, moderator of town meetings,
and in. various ways employed in town business'. He was active
in the settlement of the Rev. David Parsons, the first minister, in
1721. He was the first innholder in Leicester, in 1721 and 1722.
He lived at the intersection of the "Great Post Road," passing
through the centre of Leicester, with the Rutland Road. The
house he then occupied was consumed by fire, with all its contents,
in January, 1767. He was one of thirty-seven persons to whom a
deed of the easterly half of Leicester was executed by the com
mittee of the proprietors, Jan. 11, 1724-5. Samuel Green was
another. That part of the town was soonest settled. [Wash
burn's Hist, of Leicester.]
He died, intestate, not far from the close of 1728. Administra

of his going to Medford to reside. At this time he was in good
business and in good credit. In 1727 and previously he was
guardian of the minor children of his deceased brother James.
The first meeting-house in Medford proving too small to ac
commodate the increasing population, the town voted, in 1722,
to build a new and larger house of worship. The matter was de
layed some years before harmony in regard to its location could
be obtained. At length, in January, 1726-7, a committee was
chosen to determine the size and shape of the house. The com
mittee' consisted of eleven, of whom our John Richardson was
one. Their report was accepted, and the same committee was
empowered to build the house*
He was chosen treasurer of the town of Medford in 1727, con
tinuing in office only one year. His name appears on the tax
list of Medford in 1730. His tax is not among the highest,
though most paid a much smaller tax than he.
1729, April 21. John Foye, of Charlestown, Esquire, and
Margaret, his wife, for one thousand pounds, convey to John
Richardson, of Medford, merchant, a brick house in Boston, near
the Mill Bridge. [Suff. Deeds, xiv. 41.]
The thousand pounds was in " Province Bills," then greatly de
preciated. The " Mill Bridge " lay over the mill creek, a canal
which formed the connection between the mill pond at the north
end of Boston and the harbor. I passed it daily in my child
hood, going to and from school. More land being wanted in
Boston, both the pond and the creek were filled up in 1833, and
the new land soon after covered with buildings. Blackstone
Street, opened about 1834, now fills the space once occupied by
the creek.
The house conveyed by the above deed was by John Richard
son sold to Lately Gee, distiller, for £1300, April 1, 1731. [Suff.
Deeds, xiv. 187.]
1732, July 24. James Bowdoin, Esquire, merchant, of Boston,
for £487, conveys to John Richardson, Esquire, of Medford, a
certain estate in Boston. [Suff. Deeds, xlvi. 274.]
In or about the year 1733 John Richardson removed to Bos
ton, as appears from the following :
1734, April 17. Nathaniel Brewer, yeoman, of Roxbury, and
Elizabeth, his wife, for £506 in Bills of Credit,- sell to John Rich
ardson, Esquire, of Boston, six acres of land in Roxbury. [Suff.
Deeds, xlviii. 213.]
1734, Aug. 19. John Richardson, Esquire, of Boston, and
Abigail, his wife, for £600, sell to Benjamin Bagnall, of Boston, a
warehouse in Boston. [Suff. Deeds, li. 158.]
1737, March 9. John Richardson, Esquire, distiller, of Boston,
and Abigail, his wife, for £1550, convey to his son, Joshua Rich
ardson, of -Boston, a still-house, land, etc. [Suff. Deeds, lvi. 163.]
This shows that he had been a distiller. He had brought up

three of his sons, Caleb, Joshua, and James, to that business.
The affair at that time was attended with no scandal.
The transfer just noticed was preparatory to his removal to
Roxbury, as appears from the next deed.
1738, Oct. 17. John Richardson, Esquire, of Roxbury, and
Abigail, his wife, for one thousand pounds current money of New
England * sell to Andrew Newell, of Charlestown, mariner, a
house and land on Back Street, at the north end of Boston, now
in the possession of Caleb Richardson [son of the grantee].
[Suff. Deeds, lvii. 51.]
Back Street is now the southern half of Salem Street.
1747, Sept. 21. Anthony Cuverly, of Boston, distiller, and
Mary, his wife, for £3100 old tenor,* convey to John Richardson^
Esquire, of Roxbury, land in Boston, bounded west on Orange
Street, east by the sea or salt water, with a wharf and distill-
house thereon. [Suff. Deeds, lxxiv. 100.]
Orange Street was a part of what is now Washington Street,
extending from Essex Street out to Roxbury.
1749, February. John Richardson, Esquire, of Roxbury, and
Abigail, his wife, for three thousand pounds old tenor, sell to
James Richardson [a son of the grantee], of Boston, distiller, the
property bought in 1747 of Anthony Caverly. [Suff. Deeds,
Ixxviii. 60.]
The will of John Richardson, of Roxbury, is dated Jan. 10,
1752 ; proved Feb. 8, 1752 ; of course he died in the interval.
The will makes bequests to wife Abigail, to Caleb, Joshua, John,
and James, his sons, to his daughter Susanna' Gore, and to his
granddaughter Abigail Hall. The inventory is dated November,
1752, and amounts to only £1292 19., which, estimated on a cur
rency having now a specie basis, was equivalent to 4310 silver
dollars. Abigail Richardson, his widow, made her will Aug. 5, 1770;
proved Oct. 5, 1770. She mentions sons Caleb, Joshua, John,
James, and daughter Susanna Gore, as living ; also children of
John, to wit, John, Joseph, Susanna; also grandchildren, Abigail
Gyles, Luke Hall, Edward Hall, Joshua Hall, and Mary Child.
Abigail Gyles was the wife of Samuel Giles, of Medford ; mar
ried Jan. 31, 1754. [See Giles Memorial, by the compiler, p. 38.]
Luke Hall and his brothers were children of Edward and Abigail
(Richardson) Hall, of Medford.
The children of John and Abigail Richardson were :
+5219. Caleb,4 b. Feb. 23, 1712-13; m. Elizabeth Watts.
+5220. Joshua,4 b. Sept. 22, 1714 ; unmarried.

stantly depreciated, till in 1749 and 1750 it was redeemed at the rate of forty-
five shillings for a silver dollar.

Thomas Richaedson3 (Nathaniel? Thomas1), brother ofthe
preceding, and fifth son of Nathaniel2 and Mary Richardson, of
Woburn; born there, April 15, 1687; married, first, in 1712,
Elizabeth Geeen, born April 4, 1693, eldest daughter of Capt.
Samuel and Elizabeth (Upham) Green, of Maiden. For notices
of this Green family, see the Vinton Memorial, p. 399, et seq., by
the compiler of this volume. She died after March 6, 1735-6,
when she signed a quitclaim of interest in her father's estate.
Second, Jane  .
After marriage they lived about five years in Maiden, or till
1717, when Capt. Samuel Greeii, already mentioned as her father,
and several other Maiden people removed to Leicester, then a
new town — incorporated Feb. 15, 1713— of which Capt. Green
was one of the principal founders* That part of Leicester where
Capt. Green and his relatives lived is called Greenville, in honor
of him. It is in the south part of Leicester, about a mile north
of South Leicester railroad depot. They erected there a saw
mill and a grist-mill. Here was Thomas Richardson's home the
remainder of his life. He lived near his father-in-law, near where
the Baptist meeting-house now is, in what has since become the
Baptist parsonage, which, with the meeting-house, stands on a lot
* Leicester lay in the. heart of what was known as the Nipmuck Country,
inhabited by a tribe of Indians included under that name. A deed of eight
miles square of their territory, embracing the present towns of Leicester and
Spencer— which were one town till 1753 — with portions of Paxton and Ward
or Auburn, had been obtained from the Indians in January, 1686, by Joshua
Lamb, Samuel Ruggles, and seven others, belonging to Roxbury and other
towns near Boston; but the wars with the Indians and French prevented the
occupation of this territory till about 1713, when Leicester was incorporated.
Among the earliest inhabitants were Capt. Samuel Green, his son Thomas,
who became the first minister of the Baptist Society in 1736, his son-in-law,
Thomas Richardson, Abiathar Vinton, another son-in-law, ancestor of Hon.
Samuel Finley Vinton, member of Congress twenty-two years from Ohio, and
other men, bearing the names of Green, Keene, Lynde, Nichols, and several
more from Maiden, each of whom has had a numerous and honored posterity.
Capt. Green, in 1727, was the owner of nine hundred and twenty-nine acres of
land in that to wn ; was captain of the first military company there; at the
earliest recorded meeting was chosen moderator, first selectman, first assessor,
and grand juror, and was a leading man there as long as he lived. He died

of Capt. Samuel Green, who gathered the Baptist Society in

Benjamin Richaedson4 (Benjamin? Isaac? Thomas1), son
of Benjamin3 and Lydia (Draper) Richardson; born in Stone
ham, then a suburb of Charlestown, and known as "Charlestown
End," April 8, 1703 ; married Patience Eaele, about 1724, in
Leicester, after a removal to that place.
Patience Earle was a daughter of Ralph Earle, the ancestor of
the families of that name in Leicester. He came from Rhode
Island to Leicester in 1717, and was one of the thirty-seven men
to whom a deed of the easterly half of the territory of Leicester
was given by a committee of the proprietors, dated Jan. 11,
1724-5. Nathaniel Richardson [5136] was another.
Benjamin Richardson removed with his father's family to
Leicester about 1717, with many families from Stoneham, Maiden,
and the vicinity.
He and his mother Lydia were made administrators of his
father's estate, Jan. 6, 1728-9, by the probate court of Middlesex
County, to which Leicester then belonged. [Midd. Prob. Rec,
xviii. 414.]
He was by occupation a housewright. The time of his death
is not known. He certainly lived in Leicester till April 4, 1760,
when a bond given by him as administrator on the estate of his
brother Isaac Richardson was put in suit to compel him to render
an account of his administration, which, it seems, he had neg
lected to do.
Jan. 11, 1737. The town allowed him eleven shillings for kill
ing twenty-eight rattlesnakes. [Draper's Hist, of Spencer, p. 32.]

but on the border of Woburn, April 2, 1705 ; married July 2,
1728, Elizabeth Richaedson4 [1614], born Feb. 18, 1702-3,
second daughter of Jacob3 and Hannah (Convers) Richardson, of
Woburn. Her mother was a daughter of Major James Convers,
distinguished for his vigorous and successful defense of Storer's
garrison, in Wells, June 11, 1692, with but thirty men against
five hundred. [Sewall's Hist, of Woburn, pp. 179-182].
Isaac Richardson 4 graduated at Harvard College in 1728. It
does not appear that he studied or exercised any profession, save
that of a teacher of youth, in which employment he was eminent
ly successful. In those times the schools were kept only part of
the year, usually only three months, sometimes only half of that
time in a year. Competent instructors were scarce, and such as
they had were very poorly paid; sometimes in pork, Indian corn,
rye, etc. The country was burdened with taxes, the people were
poor and could not pay a proper sum to a good teacher. They
often paid their taxes in the produce of the soil. For a school
teacher, in 1709, thirty pounds a year, and that in depreciated
currency, was reckoned a fair compensation. In 1747, Mr. Isaac
Richardson, who was highly considered as a teacher, received only
£47, 10., old tenor, for keeping school that year; and of thjs
currency, forty shillings were worth only one specie dollar! The
schools were nearly all kept in private houses.
Mr. Richardson taught in Woburn three months in the winter
of 1727-8 ; he taught in Reading, 1729, 1730, 1731 ; nine months
and one week iu Woburn, 1735; eight months in 1746; three
months in 1747. He also taught in other places. In the last three
years, his pay was at the rate £100, old tenor, per annum, or less
than three hundred dollars.
Mr. Richardson preached occasionally, but was never ordained.
In a receipt still in existence, dated Woburn, Jan. 4, 1740-1, he
acknowledges being paid forty shillings in part for preaching at
North Town, incorporated, 1732, as Townsend, three Sabbaths.
Doubtless paid in old tenor Province bills. He also preached in
Worcester, and other places. He was greatly respected. On
Woburn records, he is constantly spoken of as "Mr. Isaac Rich
ardson." In most other cases the "Mr." was omitted.
It appears that he dealt somewhat in Eastern lands, then at
tractive to men who had money to invest.
March 20, 1738-9. Isaac Richardson, of Woburn, gentleman,
bought of Joseph Roberts, of Boston, calker, two parcels of land
at Sheepscot, in the County of York, Me., containing 471 acres,
" on the west side of Sheepscot River, in the upper township, as it
is called." This was not far from Wiscasset and Alna. [York
Deeds, xix. 259.]
He sold this land to Isaac and Israel Kenney of Middleton,
Mass., March 23, 1738-9.
Oct. 6, 1736. Isaac Richardson, of Woburn, gentleman, in
company with Benjamin Richardson [5195], also of Woburn, and
Samuel Richardson [1572] and Thomas Richardson [1580], bought
land on Sheepscot River, and elsewhere in Maine. [York Deeds,
xx. 131, etc.]

He also owned a share in Narraganset township, No. 2, after
wards incorporated as Westminster, in Worcester County, Mass.
It had been granted to the heirs of those who served in the war
of 1675.
He died intestate, in 1748, aged 43. His wife Elizabeth died
previous to 1750, the date of her father's will. She is mentioned
in said will as deceased.
His brother, Benjamin Richardson, and Jacob Richardson, his
wife's father, were appointed administrators of his estate, Jan. 9,
1748-9. But Benjamin Richardson, living in Leicester, neglected
the trust, and was sued for this, April 4, 1760. The estate was
not finally settled till February, 1770.
The inventory of Isaac Richardson's estate is dated Oct 11,
1756, eight years after his death. The amount, including real and
personal estate, was £1089. 19. 6. One of the items was £200 ob

army at New York, Aug. 29, 1776," is the record furnished to
me, but the cause of death is not stated. The battle of Long
Island, between the troops of Washington and the enemy,
took place Aug. 27th, and the consequent retreat from Long
Island took place in the night following the 29th. Israel
Richardson may have died of wounds received in the battle.
A bleak northeasterly wind began on the evening of the 27th,
and continued three days, and a heavy fall of rain on the
29th caused great suffering among the soldiers. Israel may
have died from exposure to the storm, especially if wounded.

Abiel Richaedson4 (Jonathan? Thomas? Thomas1), broth
er of the preceding, and youngest son of Jonathan3 and Hannah
(French) Richardson, of Billerica ; born there, Nov. 12, 1720;
married, Jan. 14, 1742, Saeah Smith, born in Lexington, July
28, 1723, daughter of Daniel Smith, of Lexington.
The Woburn records call her Sarah Smith, and she was pub
lished in Woburn, April 5, 1741, as Sarah Smith, of Lexington ;
but she was married at Westford, July 9, 1741, according to the
Westford records, as Sarah Boynton. Her first child, Sarah, was
born in Westford, according to Westford records, Jan. 19, 1741,
which of course means 1741-2, which was only five days after
marriage, as the date is given in the Woburn records. Again,
the Middlesex County records not only call her Sarah Boynton,
but say that she and her husband belonged to Westford. The
Pepperell records locate them in Pepperell, and say that he died
there, July 19, 1753, "killed by a fall." The probate records de
cide that he was of Pepperell at the time of his death, July, 1753.
The inventory is dated Jan. 26, 1754 ; amount, £193. 15. 3.
He left no will ; his widow Sarah was administratrix. She was
married, Jan. 9, 1755, to William Parker, of Groton, having been
duly published in Pepperell, Nov. 29, 1754.
The children of Abiel and Sarah Richardson were,

kept in "ye olden time" in respect to both names and dates.

in Stoneham, his land bordering on the parcels of land sold by
John Vinton [1592], just previous to the removal of the latter to
Dudley in 1738. His land also bordered on that of James Allen,

Deboeah Richaedson4 (Nathaniel? Nathaniel? Thomas1),
sister of the preceding; born in Woburn, about 1708; accompa
nied her father to Leicester, about 1718 ; married, 1726, Jona
than Saegent, born in Maiden, 1701, and removed to Leicester
between 1721 and 1726.
He was an innkeeper on the great Post Road, passing through
the centre of Leicester, running east and west, east of the meet
ing-house. He kept an inn there till his death.
Their children were :
5396. Jonathan (Sargent), b. 1728 ; m. Mary Earle, 1750, daughter of
Robert Earle, of Leicester. He lived in Leicester, west of
the meeting-house. He was a soldier of the Revolution, and
died in the army.

Iseael Richaedson4 (Nathaniel? Nathaniel? Thomas1),
brother of the preceding, and third son of Nathaniel 8 and Abi
gail (Reed) Richardson; born in Woburn, Aug. 16, 1710; he
was married, but his wife's name is not known.
His father removed to Rumney Marsh, now Chelsea, not long
after his birth, and to Leicester about 1718. The father, as we
have seen, was an influential and leading man in Leicester till his
death, in 1728.
Israel Richardson must have died in 1740, the inventory of his
estate being dated June 24, 1740. So far as now appears, he had
but one son, named for himself, and the tradition in the family is,
that this son was born in Brookfield, in the County of Worcester,
Mass. This is probably correct, as the probate records make it
certain that the father died there. Leicester and Brookfield were
conterminous towns till 1753, when the west precinct of Leices-

ter was made a town by the name of Spencer. It is probable
that he lived and died in the western precinct of Brookfield, now
the town of Spencer.
The son of Israel Richardson, then, was :
+5402. Israel,6 b. in Brookfield, Jan. 24, 1736; m. Susanna Forbush.

sister of the preceding ; born in Woburn, about 1714; married,
1732, in Leicester, Josiah Convees, son of John Convers, ol
Woburn. She was his second wife.
Josiah Convers was, about 1733, a leading man in Leicester,
being in March of that year chosen moderator, first selectman,
town clerk, town treasurer, and first assessor. In May he was
chosen representative to the General Court or Province Legisla
ture. In the unhappy controversy of the town with their first
minister, the Rev. David Parsons, he warmly espoused the side
of Mr. Parsons. [Washburn's Hist, of Leicester.]
The children of John and Eleanor Convers were :
5403. Mary (Convers), b. July 17, 1733.
5404. Eleanor (Convers), b. March 21, 1734-5.
It is proper to observe that many of the facts concerning Leicester
are derived from that excellent volume, Emory Washburn's History of
Leicester.

of Capt. James Richardson,8 and the only son by the first wife,
Rebecca Eaton ; born in Woburn, 1699; married, in Lancaster,

Though married in Lancaster, he and his wife spent several
years in Woburn, and had children there. In 1733, he was in
Lancaster; was representative of Lancaster in 1746, and con
tinued to live in Lancaster till his death in 1770.
William Richardson, of Lancaster, in the County of Worces
ter, yeoman, sold, June 8, 1733, to James Dolbear, of Boston,

his son, William Richardson, the administrator, and the adminis
trator's account was presented Dec. 11, 1772, the estate insolvent.

The children of Wilham and Mary Richardson, born in Woburn,
were :
5405. William,6 b. Feb. 21, 1723-4. He was living in December, 1772,
being then administrator of his father's estate. Further in
formation is lacking.
5406. Mary,6 b. Aug. 14, 1727 ; she was non compos mentis. After the
death of her father, James Kendall was appointed her guar
dian, Sept. 10, 1771. An inventory of her estate is dated

Woburn, July 29, 1703, daughter of Capt. James8 and Mary
(Richardson) Fowle. See p. 194, for further information respect
ing her parents.
They lived in Woburn some years, and three of their children
were born there. They removed to" Leominster about 1735 ; it
was the north-west part of Lancaster till its incorporation in
1740. They lived in the north part of Leominster, at the inter
section of the Harvard and Lunenburg roads, a little beyond
where the old Methodist Church has since stood. It has been
known as the Polley Place.
James Richardson, then of Woburn, yeoman, and wife Sarah
sold to James Dolbear, brazier, of Boston, one original right of a
soldier who served in the Narraganset war [1675], which the
grantor bought of Shubael Gorham, Esq., of Barnstable. This
deed was acknowledged by James and Sarah Richardson, Oct. 29,
1735. [York Deeds, xxxiv. 93.]
In Leominster he commenced a farm on a piece of new land,
and cleared it up himself. He was surveyor of highways, 1745.
According to the best information, he died in 1748. According
to another account, he fell backwards down some cellar stairs,
1761, and broke his neck. His children were,

William and Nathaniel are mentioned in the inventory; and Na
thaniel in the account of administration, Nov. 6, 1755, appears as

March 2, 1730, Samuel Locke,8 born Aug. 24, 1702, son of Lieut.
Ebenezer2 and Susanna (Walker) Locke, of Woburn. Ebenezer2
was a son of Deacon William Locke,1 who came to New Eng
land in 1634, when only six years old, in the care of his uncle
Nicholas Davies, ahd came to live in Woburn about 1650, then
aged 22.
Ebenezer Locke 2 inherited and lived on the homestead of his
father, as did his son Samuel,8 husband of Rebecca Richardson,
after him. It was in Woburn, on the road to Lexington, a mile
and a half west of Woburn Centre. Samuel Locke sold this farm
in December, 1741, to Samuel Wyman, and the following year re
moved to Lancaster, where, and in Westminster, also in Shutes-
bury, he was a large landholder. He kept a tavern in Woburn
and in Lancaster many years; was a man of eminent business
talents, and was highly respected. He died April 13, 1775, in his
seventy-third year.
His widow Rebecca married Col. Joseph Wilder, Dec. 27, 1775.
The parties were careful, before marriage, in a paper still extant,
to dispose of the estates of each. She died September 10, 1789,
aged 79.

was a citizen of Watertown as early as 1636, and is the ancestor
of the Jennisons of New England. She was born in Sudbury,
but in the record of her marriage she is said to be of Weston,
because at that time her mother was the wife of Joseph Brooks,
of Weston. The date of her birth and her parentage are errone
ously given in Bond's Watertown Genealogies, p. 308, No. 37,
and "in the Vinton Memorial, p. 393, and again in the Giles Me

Caleb Richaedson4 (John? Nathaniel? Thomas1), eldest son
of John Richardson,8 Esq., and his wife Abigail ; born in Wo
burn, Feb. 23, 1712-13; married, about 1734, Elizabeth Watts,
daughter of John Watts, resident at Georgetown, on Arrowsick
Island, in Kennebec River, a short distance above the mingling
of its waters with the Atlantic Ocean.
He was a distiller in Boston as early as 1734, as appears from a
deed of which the following is an abstract :
April 6, 1734. Caleb Richardson, of Boston, distiller, and wife
Elizabeth, with Belcher Noyes, Oliver Noyes, and several others
of Boston, sold to William Vaughan, resident at Damariscotty
River, in the eastern part of New England, gentleman, their
right in a place called Oyster River, in Damariscotty River, five
hundred acres, minutely described. [York Deeds, xvi. 114.]
July 16, 1737. The same parties make Benjamin Larrabee,
Esquire, of Brunswick, their attorney, to sell their lands in
Brunswick and Topsham to settlers. [York Deeds, xviii. 237.]
The whole territory of Maine, so far as settled, was considered
as belonging to the County of York until 1760.
The title of Caleb Richardson to the lands mentioned in these
two deeds was derived from his wife. William Vaughan was a
son of George Vaughan, formerly lieutenant governor of New
Hampshire. He was born at Portsmouth, in 1703, and graduated
at Harvard College in 1722. He lived at Damariscotta Mills, in
the present town of Damariscotta, Me. ; was largely engaged in
the fishing business; owned several schooners; had" saw-mills at
Damariscotta Falls, where lumber was in large quantities pre
pared for the Boston market; owned large tracts of land; is said
to have planned the expedition to Louisburg in 1745, and as
lieutenant colonel contributed largely to the success of the expe
dition. He was a man of great energy and influence. Another
deed is worthy of notice :
Feb. 3, 1736. Caleb Richardson, of Roxbury, in the County of
Suffolk, Mass., distiller, and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of John
Watts, late of Georgetown, on Arrowsick Island, in the County
of York, Esquire, deceased, bought of Edward Hutchinson and
Mary Wolcott one-ninth part of Arrowsick Island ; also, all their
right in two other tracts of land, particularly described, between
the Sagadahock and Sheepscot Rivers. [York Deeds, xx. 54.]
Sagadahock is the lower part of Kennebec River, after its
confluence with the Androscoggin.

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 543
Caleb Richardson and wife Elizabeth did not wish to keep the
lands between the two rivers just mentioned. He was in more
profitable business in Boston. They therefore sold those lands to
several persons in 1737, as appears by nine or ten deeds on record.
In 1734, after his marriage, he was living in Boston ; in 1736,
in Roxbury ; in 1738, he lived in Boston, on Back Street, which
is now the southern part of Salem Street, and not far from where
Blackstone Street now is. [Suff. Deeds, lyii. 51.]
He was in possession of what for those days was a handsome
property. Caleb Richardson " owned the covenant " in Roxbury Church,
Feb. 5, 1737* [Roxbury Church Records.]
It was preparatory on his part to having his children baptized.
About 1740 he removed to Bolton, a town adjacent to Lancaster,
and till 1738 a part of it. He died there, April 2, 1785, aged 72.
His wife Elizabeth died Dec. 21, 1783. He made no will; his
son John was appointed administrator of his estate, April, 1785.
Their children were,
Born in Roxbury :
+5452. John,5 b. Feb. 11, 1737; m. first, Ruth Sawtell; second, Rebecca
Moore. Born in Bolton :

Joshua Richaedson '' (John? Nathaniel? Thomas x), brother
of the preceding, and second son of John8 and Abigail Richard
son, of Boston; born in Medford, Sept. 22, 1714; was never mar
ried. He lived in Boston, after his father's removal to that place,
about 1733. Like his father and brothers, Caleb and James, he
was a distiller. His father conveyed to him, March 9, 1737, for
the nominal sum of £1550, in a depreciated currency, a distill-
house, with land, etc. [Suff. Deeds, lvi. 163.] The son was
then only in his twenty-third year. How long he pursued the
business of distilling does not appear.
His will is dated May 6, 1776, at which time he was still living
in Boston. His will was proved Aug. 6, 1793, at which date he
* This was in conformity with a usage sanctioned, if not originated, by a
syuod assembled at Boston, in September, 1662, whereby persons who had
been baptized in infancy, "understanding the doctrine of faith, and publickly
professing their assent thereto, not scandalous in life, and solemnly owning
the covenant before the church," might have their children baptized without
becoming themselves members in full of any church This has since been
known as the "half-way covenant." [Felt's Eccl. Hist, of New England, vol.
ii. p. 294.]

was living in Bolton. His residence in Bolton appears also from
his tombstone, which makes him 81 at his death. In the will he
leaves property to his brother James, to his sister Susanna Gore,
and to the three children of his brother Caleb. His brother
James is named as executor. He had property in Bolton, as ap
pears from the inventory, dated Aug. 8, 1800, Worcester probate
records.

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 545
5229.
James Richaedson4 (John? Nathaniel? Thomas1), brother
of the preceding, and fourth son of John3 and Abigail Rich
ardson, of Boston ; born in Medford, June 15, 1725 ; married
Lydia Kneeland, of Cambridge, sister, according to the will of
James Richardson, of William Kneeland, Esq., of Cambridge.
Like his father and his brothers Caleb and Joshua, he was a dis
tiller in Boston, certainly from and after 1749 ; but how long he
continued in that business is not known.
February, 1749. His father, then of Roxbury, for three thou
sand pounds, old tenor, worth about forty-five shillings for a silyer
dollar, and redeemed that year at that rate, conveyed to James
Richardson, distiller, land in Boston, bounded west on Orange
Street, east by the sea or salt water, with a distill-house thereon,
and a wharf adjacent. [Suffolk Deeds, Ixxviii. 60.]
The latter part of his life was passed in Bolton, adjacent to
Lancaster, of which till 1738 it formed a part. He was of Boston
in 1755, as appears by a deed. He died in Bolton, where he pos
sessed property, Nov. 21, 1799, aged 74. His will is dated Bolton,
Jan. 3, 1797 ; proved Dec. 3, 1799. It is very long, disposing of
property to nephews and nieces, especially to his nephew, Capt.
John Richardson, of Templeton, who is appointed executor.
[Worcester Prob. Records, xx. 265.]
His wife Lydia died Dec. 17, 1796, aged 69. They had no
children.

5235.
James Richaedson4 (Thomas? Nathaniel? Thomas1), son of
Thomas 8 and Elizabeth (Green) Richardson ; born in Leicester,
1723 ; married, June 19, 1764, Lavinah Johnson, born Dec. 11,
1743, daughter of Daniel Johnson, of Shrewsbury. Notwith
standing the disparity of age, the fact just stated is established
by a discharge on record in the registry of probate in Worcester
County, signed by James Richardson and Lavinah, his wife, dated
Sept. 3, 1764, a few weeks after their marriage, in which she is-
represented as the daughter of Daniel Johnson, of Shrewsbury.
Though born in Leicester, it was doubtless in the west or second
precinct, which was incorporated April 3, 1753, as the town of
Spencer, so named in honor of Spencer Phips, lieutenant gover
nor, and at that time acting governor of Massachusetts in place of
Governor Shirley, then absent in England. At the first organiza
tion of the town of Spencer, May 14, 1753, he was chosen sur
veyor of highways. He removed from Spencer to Leicester in
1768. He was a private in a company stationed at Fort Massaehu-

setts, in the present town of Adams, or rather between that town
and Williamstown, in 1747-8. He was one of the " eight months
men," called out after the affair of Lexington, serving from the
first of May to the end of the year, 1775. He was also in Col.
Wade's regiment of State troops, stationed on Rhode Island, one
year from January, 1778.
We have no further dates, nor account of any children.

5236.
Philip Richardson4 (Thomas? Nathaniel? Thomas1), broth
er of the preceding, and son of Thomas 8 and Elizabeth (Green)
Richardson ; born in the west precinct of Leicester, incorporated,
1753, as the town of Spencer, in 1725 ; married, first, Cathaeine
Beiggs, daughter of Turfrey Briggs. She died before May 21,
1766. Second, Esthee Webstee, born March 19, 1726, daugh
ter of Capt. John Webster, master of a ship in the London trade
from Boston.
In August, 1756, he commanded a company of soldiers in the
regiment of Colonel Timothy Ruggles, of Hardwick, raised in the
interior of Massachusetts, and stationed at Fort William Henry
on Lake George. Through the timidity and incapacity of the
British general, Webb, that important place was taken by Mont
calm in August, 1757, but the regiment of Ruggles was not there,
and shared not in the disgrace, nor in the havoc made after the
surrender. The regiment was on the march to relieve the place,
but was stopped by Webb.
Ruggles was afterwards a brigadier general in the British ser
vice, and was remarkable, even among the tories of the Revolu
tion, for his attachment to the royal cause.
We next hear of Philip Richardson as living in Boston, and the
owner of a rope-walk on Atkinson Street, which, it would appear,
he sold to Jeffrey Richardson in 1766.*
*Jeffrey Richardson was of a different family from that with which this vol
ume is chiefly concerned. He was born in Yorkshire, England, in the year
1693. The first mention of him in Boston is in 1730. He lived on Pond Lane,
now Bedford Street, and died Sept. 29, 1775. Jeffrey Richardson, in the text,
was his son, born Feb. 22, 1743-4. It is on record that he " commenced business
for himself in 1766, as a rope-maker, near Mr. John Gray's rope-walk, on At
kinson Street." Jeffrey Richardson had been an apprentice to Mr. John Gray,
since 1758 ; and there is no room to doubt that he had there become acquainted
with Philip Richardson, and bought his rope-walk in 1766. Such, at least, is
the compiler's belief.
Since writing the foregoing, it has become a matter of doubt in the com
piler's mind whether the owner of this ropewalk was John Gray or Edward
Gray. It was here that the fight occurred that issued in the " Boston Massa
cre," March 5, 1770. Bancroft refers to the quarrel as occurring at " Gray's
Ropewalk." Mr. Samuel G. Drake, in his elaborate " History or Boston," p.
778, says it was at Mr. John Gray's ropewalk. Mr. James Spear Loring, the
editor of " The Hundred. Boston Orators," who wrote sketches of the twelve
orators who addressed the people of Boston in the twelve years from 1771 to
1783, on the successive anniversaries of the "Massacre," has assured me and

POSTERITY OP THOMAS RICHARDSON. 547
I have before me an abstract of a deed on record in the York
County Registry, vol. xxxviii. 234, which fully establishes the
fact of his being a rope-maker, and also his connection by mar
riage with the Briggs family.
Oct. 6, 1763. Philip Richardson, of Boston, rope-maker, and
Katharine, his wife, sell to Michael Dalton, Esquire, Tristram
Dalton, merchant, John Sewall, merchant, Sarah Sewall, an in
fant, and Ann Sewall, an infant, all of Newbury .... all of
the said Philip and Katharine's right, the said Katharine being
one of the daughters of Turfrey Briggs, deceased, in one-eighth
of a parcel of land lying on Saco River, the whole tract being
about four miles square, which eighth part John Briggs, by deed
bearing date June 25, 1729, conveyed, etc. [York Deeds, xiii.
109.] This deed was acknowledged by Philip Richardson, May
21, 1766, but Katharine had deceased before this last date.
Turfrey Briggs is sometimes called Trefry Briggs.
Catharine was the mother of Philip's children. Afterwards he
married Esther Webster, but the connection was terminated by
his death in 1767.
Philip Richardson, from his connection with the noted tory,
Ruggles, is likely to have favored the royal cause, but as he died
before the outbreak of the Revolution, had little or no opportuni
ty to exhibit this attachment, supposing it to have existed ; but
his widow Esther, whose father had long been engaged in the
London trade, had no scruple in making known her views.
When the British forces, eight thousand in number, were com
pelled, in March, 1776, to leave Boston, Esther went with them.
More than eleven hundred refugees, many of them persons of
wealth and great respectability, who had trusted in the power of
England to coerce " the rebels," but now to their unspeakable
grief and mortification were forced to witness her utter failure to
protect her own friends, left Boston in the British fleet, crowded
for want of room, and leaving their property and their hopes for
life behind them, and went to Halifax, wholly uncertain of the
future. Of this unhappy company, so suddenly overtaken with
horror and despair, and foregoing for the remainder of life all joy
and all hope, Mrs. Esther Richardson was one. As was the fact
in many other cases, she was compelled to leave her three boys
behind, and before long found herself reduced from a state of
comfort, and perhaps affluence, to want and penury.
After the war, her step-son Joseph, hearing of her destitute
condition, sent for her, took her to his home in Durham, N. H.,
the public that the owner of the ropewalk was Edward Gray. I think he
would be likely to know. See N E. Hist. Geneal. Reg., vol. vii. p. 163. Asa
matter involved in the history of the country, it is of some importance.
Philip Richardson must have died in 1767, since administration on his estate
was granted that year.
The whole number of rope- walks was six ; at least, there were six owners of
rope-walks to be partially indemnified by the town for the destruction of their
rope-walks by fire, July 30, 1794. Jeffrey Richardson's rope-walk was one of
those burned.

Feb. 27, 1759, Hannah Richaedson [5274], born December,
1732, daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth Richardson.
He was a soldier in the old French war, 1759. They lived, for
a time at least, in Woburn. He died perhaps at the age of forty,
the time is not known, but some time previously to July 10, 1777,
when she took for a second husband her cousin, Silas Richaed
son6 [1853], son of Jacob4 and Elizabeth (Wyman) Richardson.
She was made a widow Richardson a second time in 1778.
_ Hannah, the widow, used to say pleasantly that she had mar
ried two husbands, yet had never changed her original name.
She is still remembered by many in Salem as " Aunt Hannah."
She died in Woburn, her native town, Aug. 29, 1821, at the age
of 89. See a further notice of her on p. 250.

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 549
Whether from lack of heirs, or some other cause, is uncertain,
but it is on record that the estate of Phinehas Richardson was
distributed, in March and April, 1783, to his brothers, Thomas,
James, and William, and sister, Dorothy Eames. A bond was
given by his brother, Thomas Richardson, of Reading, as princi
pal, with Stephen Richardson [1926], gentleman, of Woburn, and
Nathaniel Weston, of Stoneham, cordwainer, as sureties.

Benjamin Richaedson,5 Esq. (Benjamin? Benjamin? Isaac?
Thomas A, brother of the preceding, and eldest son of Benjamin4
and Patience (Earle) Richardson, of Leicester ; born there, Feb.
22 1732;* married, first, 1758, Eunice Swan, born 1741, daugh
ter of Dudley Wade ;md Beulah Swan, who removed from Mil
ton to Leicester in 1736. She died in Leicester, June, 1776, aged
35 Second, Mrs. Abigail Holman, a widow; her maiden
name has not been preserved. She died in 1790, aged 43. Third,
Olive  ; surname not known. Fourth, Mes. Candace Al
len, of Princeton, a widow, married in 1817, when he was in his
eighty-fifth year. She survived him.
At the age of fourteen, he was apprenticed to a carpenter in
Worcester to learn the trade. His master was at times rather
severe, and Benjamin did not always fare well ; one meal every
clay consisted of bean porridge.
At the age of twenty-one, 1753, he returned to Leicester, and
engaged in the business of making potash. His was the first
manufactory of that article in the County of Worcester. Being
without capital, he became indebted to others for the purchase of
kettles and other implements needed. In the prosecution of this
business he was very successful, thus obtaining the means of fur
ther advance in life.
In 1760, he had so prospered that he felt able to purchase and
occupy the farm of Mr. Israel Parsons, son of Rev. David Par
sons, the first minister of Leicester, and which we presume was
formerly owned and occupied by that minister.f It was half a
mile north of the meeting-house. He sold this farm to John
Lyon, in 1777, and removed to Sterling, then the west precinct
of Lancaster. [Washburn's Hist, of Leicester, p. 391.]
In Sterling he purchased, with the money which had come from
the making of potash, the farm belonging to the brothers Timo
thy and Seth Heywood ; and also a tract of land adjoining the
same, in the south-easterly part of Princeton, of Sylvanus Oak.
The deeds of transfer, still in existence, are dated April 7, 1777.
Here he opened an inn, and the place was thenceforward known
as " The Richardson Tavern." It was on the direct road from
Boston to Albany, and was, therefore, a convenient and frequent
stopping-place for travelers.
He was greatly respected as a citizen, and invested with many
public offices.
He was first lieutenant of the military company which marched
from Leicester to Cambridge on the alarm sounded through the
country on the advance of the British to Concord, on the morn-
* George Washington was born the same day.
t Mr. Parsons was born in Northampton, 1679; graduated, Harvard College,
1705; ordained pastor at Maiden, 1709; dismissed, May, 1721; installed at
Leicester, Sept. 15, 1721 ; bitter difficulties soon arose, which caused his resig
nation, March 6, 1735, and he died in Leicester, in 1735; a man of ability, but
wanting in prudence.

ing of April 19, 1775. Of this company Thomas Newhall, whose
wife was a daughter of the Richardson family, was captain.
See under [5197].
On the 4th day of April, 1776, our Benjamin Richardson was
made " captain of the First company of the First Regiment of
militia in the county of Worcester, whereof Samuel Denny, Esq.,
is colonel." So the commission reads which is yet in existence.
In August of the same year, he was made captain of a company
drafted from the militia in the regiment of which Nicholas Dike,
Esq., was colonel. This commission, also, is in good preservation.
He was one of the Revolutionary Committee of Correspond
ence in Leicester in 1776 and 1777.
He was chosen representative from Sterling, May, 1787.
In March, 1788, he was commissioned by Governor John Han
cock as justice of the peace for the County of Worcester for the
term of seven years ; and from this time was known as Squire
Richardson. He was one of the selectmen of Sterling in 1798.
In 1816, he was again commissioned as justice of the peace, by
Governor Strong, for another term of seven years. Of course his
politics coincided with those of that highly respected governor.
By the inhabitants of the town he is now familiarly called,
" the Old Squire." His will is dated April 7, 1821 ; proved July
3, 1821. He died, full of years and honors, June 8, 1821, aged 89 years,
3 months. His children were, by first wife Eunice, born in Leicester :

After the death of his parents, he lived a few years in Cam

in the military service in the old French war, eight months and
four days. He was in the expedition to Canada in 1758, in Capt.
William Angier's company, in Col. Joseph Williams' regiment,
and was discharged Nov. 1, 1758.
He must have been a citizen of Salem after his marriage, and
certainly as early as 1765 ; for on the 28th of October, 1765, Ben
jamin Daland conveyed to him, then "of Salem," some real es
tate on School Street. At the outbreak of hostilities with the
mother country, he was one of the first to take up arms in the
patriot cause, receiving a commission as captain. He was taken
prisoner at Fort Washington, near New York, Nov. 16, 1776, and
remained a prisoner, at Gravesend, Long Island, until exchanged

and Reading.
They lived for some years in Middleton ; but after the death of
his father, who was killed by an Indian in the old French war,
they lived in North Reading in the old homestead of his father

a thoroughly blameless life. He died in 1837, aged ninety-one.
Olive, the wife of Benjamin Flint, was dismissed from the
church in Middleton to the second church in Reading, Dec. 6,
1770. On the day of the annual Fast in 1773, a contribution was
taken up in Middleton in behalf of Benjamin Flint, of Reading,

Hannah Richaeds6n6 (Solomon? David? Isaac? Thomas1),
sister of the preceding, and daughter of Solomon 4 and Elizabeth
(Goodale) Richardson ; born in Middleton, Mass., Dec. 20, 1732 ;
married, Aug. 16, 1752, Col. Aechelaus Fullee,4 son of Benja
min 8 and Mary (Fuller) Fuller. Benjamin 3 was a son of Benja
min,2 born 1660, who was a son of Lieut. Thomas Fullee,1 who
came from England in 1638, and settled in what is now Middle-
ton, formerly a part of Salem. Isaac Richardson,2 grandfather of
Solomon,4 married his daughter Deborah, and he (Thomas) is re-

garded as the progenitor of the Fullers of New England. He
owned and settled upon a large tract of land in Middleton,
though for some years previously he had dwelt in Woburn.*
Col. Archelaus Fuller was an officer of the Revolutionary
army, and died at Bennington, Vt., of small pox, about 1777.
By his first wife, Hannah Richardson,6 he had :
5521. Elijah (Fuller), unmarried.

David Richaedson6 (Solomon? David? Isaac? Thomas1),
brother of the preceding, and son of Solomon4 and Elizabeth
(Goodale) Richardson ; born in Middleton, April 9, 1735 ; mar
ried Lucy  .
He passed his life in Middleton ; was a yeoman, and appears to
have had no children, as none are mentioned in the settlement of
his estate.
Administration was granted, May 7, 1776, by request of his
widow, Lucy Richardson, to his half-brother, Stephen Richard
son. One of the sureties was another half-brother, John Rich
ardson. [Essex Prob. Rec, li. 292.]
* A brother of Col. Archelaus Fuller was Rev. Daniel Fuller,4 born in Mid
dleton, Sept. 1, 1740; graduated Harvard College, 1764; minister of the Sec
ond Church in Gloucester from Jan. 10, 1770 to 1821, fifty years.
An imperfect genealogy of the Fuller Family appears in the New England
Historic and Genealogical Register, vol. xiii. pp. 351-363. From this docu
ment we gather the following notices:
Benjamin Fuller,8 the father of Col. Archelaus Fuller 4 in the text, had an
elder brother, Jacob,3 born in Middleton, 1700, who by wife Abigail Holton, of
Danvers, had ten children, the sixth of whom (and third son) was Rev. Timo
thy Fuller,4 born May 18, 1739, who graduated Harvard College, 1760, and
was ordained the first minister of Princeton, Mass., Sept. 9, 1767. He was dis
missed 1776, and died at Merrimack, N. H., July 3, 1805, aged 66.
His fourth child and eldest son was Hon. Timothy Fuller,6 horn at Chil
mark, Martha's Vineyard, July 11, 1778; graduated Harvard College, 1801,
having the second rank in his class ; was an eminent lawyer in Boston, with
his residence in Cambridge; was a member of the Massachusetts Senate from
1813 to 1816; representative in Congress from 1817 to 1825; speaker of the
Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1825, and died suddenly, of Asiatic
cholera, at Groton, Oct. 1, 1835.
The eldest child of Hon. Timothy Fuller,6 by his wife Margaret Crane, of
Canton, was Margaret Fuller,6 born at Cambridge, May 23, 1810. For genius,
literary culture, and nobleness of aim, she has seldom been equalled. Her
power of conversation, it is said, fully equalled that of Madame de Stael.
With her husband, Giovanni [John] Angelo, Marqftis Ossoli, an Italian noble
man, an exile from his country by the failure of the Roman republic, and
their child, she perished by shipwreck, July 19, 1850.
She had several brothers who rose to eminence, one of whom was Rev. Ar
thur Buckminster Fuller,6 born Aug. 10, 1822; graduated Harvard CoUege,
1843; ordained pastor of the Unitarian Society in Manchester, N. H., March
29, 1848 ; installed over the New North Church in Boston, June 1, 1853. From
zeal in his country's cause, he served as chaplain in the war of the Rebellion,
and met his death by a shot from a rebel hand.

His inventory amounted to £301. 16. 4., and the real estate in
cluded " one end of a house," a barn, and land near by; "also,

four acres of woodland in Andover; aright in the back seat m
the meeting-house, and a horse stable near the meeting-house.

Thomas Richaedson6 (Thomas? Thomas? Thomas?

Billerica; born there, Sept. 30, 1724; married, first,  -;
second, Abigail Reed, of Westford, April 13, 1769; third,
Polly  .
His mother, in her will, Nov. 29, 1752, mentions him as then
living. He must have been married previous to 1769, when he
married Abigail Reed, because a son Silas is mentioned in his
own will, but the name and the date are both lost.
His will is dated Sept. 26, 1799; proved March 8, 1803. Of
course he died in the interval. His will mentions wife Polly,
who at the date of the probate had become Polly Cummings.
His children mentioned in the will were :
5541. Silas,6 — the son, probably, of a former wife.
5542. Thomas,6 b. in Westford, March 9, 1770.
5543. Abigail,6 b. June 13, 1772.
5544. Willard,6 b. March 13, 1774 ; m. Mary  . They had :

5545. Hannah,6 b. Jan. 23, 1776; m. Aaron Hood, of Nottingham
West, now Hudson, N. H., March 8, 1792.
The Westford records, as copied for me, give him another son:
5546. Jesse,6 b. Jan. 3, 1773, which is manifestly erroneous, though it
may contain an element of truth.

Joseph Richaedson 6 (Nathaniel? Nathaniel? Thomas?
Thomas1), son of Nathaniel4 and Elizabeth (Stevens) Richard
son, of Townsend, Mass. ; born there, 1746 ; married, about 1770,
Hannah Deuey, daughter of Capt. Zedekiah Drury, of Temple,
N. H., who, we suppose, was from Shrewsbury, Mass.
Temple, N. H., is in the- County of Hillsborough , with only
one town, New Ipswich, between it and the Massachusetts line.
It has the towns of Peterborough, Francestown, Lyndeborough,
Wilton, and Mason around it. The location is favorable, and soon
after the old French war, the attention of farmers and others in
Middlesex County, Mass., was turned towards it. As early as 1760,
families had settled there from Acton, Boxford, Carlisle, Shrews
bury, Townsend and other places in Massachusetts. Zedekiah
Drury was there some time previous to 1768, and soon became
one ofthe leading men in town. He was a captain in 1768, and
the first town meeting, Sept. 26, 1768, was held at his house. He
started with his company on the Lexington alarm, April 19, 1775,
but finding himself not needed returned home. He commanded
a company that marched to reinforce the army of Gates, upon the
advance of Burgoyne in June, 1777. His sons Gershom and Wil
liam, and his son-in-law, Joseph Richardson, the principal subject
of this notice, were soldiers in that company, with thirty-five
others from that newly settled town. Capt. Drury died in that
service.* Joseph Richardson, in early life, was an apprentice to Benjamin
Cutter, of Temple, a carpenter and farmer, a native of Lexington,
Mass., who was also a soldier in 1775 and 1776 ; selectman of
Temple, 1783, and died in Temple, March 16, 1821.f As Benja-
*Capt. Gershom Drury, son of Zedekiah, had for his wife Elizabeth Richard-
s on, born 739, the eldest sister of our Joseph.
tSee Cutter Genealogy, pp. 83, 84.

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 559
min Cutter was but a year or two older than our Joseph, it may
have been his brother Nathan, a house-wright, of New Ipswich,
an adjoining town, to whom Joseph was apprenticed.
We find our Joseph Richardson a soldier in the Revolutionary
army from Temple, in December, 1775 ; a service, perhaps, lasting
eight months and closing with the year. His grandchildren have
it that he was in the battle of Bunker Hill, and they say he as
sured them that such was the fact. Indeed, it is affirmed in a
History of Temple. He also marched, with his brothers-in-law,
Zedekiah and William Drury, in a company commanded by their
brother, Capt. Gershom Drury, from Temple to Saratoga, and there
assisted in the defeat and capture of Burgoyne's army.
Not long afterwards he removed to Wilton, which joins Tem
ple on the east, and thence, about 1797, removed to Weston in
the south part of the County of Windsor, Vt.
He and his wife Hannah lived to a good old age, and died only
about fifteen weeks apart. He died in Weston, August 18, 1843,
aged ninety-seven. She died there May 7, 1843, aged ninety-
five. Their children were :
5551. Hannah,6 b. Oct. 19, 1772.

was but fifteen years old. All four were in the battle of .Bunker
Hill, June 17, 1775. As heretofore noticed, Israel never returned.
He was in the army of Washington on Long Island, and died Au
gust 29, 1776, either from wounds received in the battle of the
27th, or from the effects of the severe rain-storm which immedi
ately followed.
After two years of service in the army, Andrew went down
into the District of Maine, and joined his eldest brother William
in the Hancock Plantation. In that place, afterwards the town
of Winslow, and the part finally the town of Clinton, he became
a leading citizen. He was the first captain of militia in the town ;

The General Court of Massachusetts having passed a resolve,
Sept. 22, 1777, to reinforce the northern army, a company of sol
diers marched from Billerica, having Edward Farmer as captain,
and our Jacob Richardson as Lieutenant. Their service extended
from Sept. 29, to Nov. '8, 1777, forty-one days. This company
formed a part of the regiment of Col. Page, and assisted in the
capture of Burgoyne. [Mass. Archives.]
He died at Lyndeborough, N. H., Sept. 5, 1817, in his seventy-
fifth year. His widow Sarah died March 1, 1825, aged eighty-
three. His will is dated Aug. 23, 1817 ; proved Oct. 30, 1817 ; recorded

Abijah Richaedson,6 Esq. (Hezekiah? Nathaniel? Thomas?
Thomas1), brother of the preceding, and fifth son of Hezekiah4
and Elizabeth (Walker) Richardson ; born in Townsend, Mass.,
Feb. 22, 1749* marrried, first, about 1770,  Livingston; sec
ond, Eunice Thompson, born in Brunswick, Me., Oct. 16, 1747.
After marriage, he lived a while in Westford, Mass.
After the Revolutionary war, he, with his family of eight chil
dren, removed to Litchfield, then in the County of Lincoln, now
in the County of Kennebec, Maine. His three youngest brothers,
Joel, Joshua, and Simeon, went to Maine about the same time.
He lived near the village of Litchfield Corner until his death,
nearly forty years after. He was a farmer and a working mason.
He was a prominent man in the town ; was a justice ofthe peace,
and represented the town in the Legislature of Massachusetts one
or more terms.
He became surety for two traders in the place, and thus lost
much of his property. In 1823, after his death, his estate was de
clared insolvent. One of the largest creditors was his son Jesse
Richardson. The estate was sold in 1824, reserving sixteen acres
for the widow's dower. [Lincoln Prob. Records, xxv. 148, 429,
438, 470.]
He died in Litchfield, March 15, 1822, aged 73. His youngest
son, Cornelius, was appointed administrator of his estate, Aug. 26
1822. [Lincoln Prob. Records, xxi. 351.]
His widow Eunice died in Litchfield, Nov. 12, 1841.
His children were,
By first wife :
5613. Amos,6b. 177- ; m. Sarah  . He was a farmer. He lived
some years in Litchfield ; sold land in 1802 to James Ham, of
Bath. In 1803, he bought of Abijah Richardson, Esq. [his
father], one hundred acres in Litchfield, bounded in part on
land of said Abijah and Jesse Richardson [his brother].
[Lincoln Deeds, Iii. 246.] Discouraged by the cold and back
ward season of 1816, he removed to Ohio, as many others did.
5614. Jesse,6 b. 177- Neither his wife's name, nor the names of his
children, have been reported to us. He lived in Litchfield,
Me.; was a farmer, and a very smart, capable man; " could
turn his hand to almost anything; was a Jack at all trades,
and good at all ; " was captain of a military company, and
much respected. He acquired considerable property, and
was one of the largest creditors of his father's estate in 1823.
He had a daughter who married a Wilson, and their daughter-
married Rev. Luther Richardson, who lived a while in War
wick, and afterwards in Massachusetts.

Ebenezee Richaedson6 (Hezekiah? Nathaniel? Thomas?
Thomas 1), brother of the preceding, and sixth son of Hezekiah
and Elizabeth Richardson ; born in Townsend, Mass., Nov. 25,
1751; married, first, Cathaeine (Tufts) Wyman, Dec. 12, 1776.
She died before 1789, or perhaps early in that year. Second,
Jeeusha Dodge, 1789, daughter of Zechariah Dodge, of Edge
comb. In the Revolutionary war he was in the military service of his
country three years. He was at the surrender of Cornwallis,
October, 1781.
After the war, he went down to Maine, as did his brothers,
Abijah, Joel, Joshua, and Simeon, and settled on what was
known as " the million acre lot," which, we believe, was situated
on both sides of the Kennebec River in Maine. We find him in
the plantation, afterwards town, of Canaan, near Norridgewock,
in 1785, as witness the following :
Sept. 21, 1785. Ebenezer Richardson, of the plantation of
Canaan, in the County of Lincoln, yeoman, sold to Seth Wyman,
of said plantation, about two and one-half acres in Canaan, afore
said. [Lincoln Deeds, xxi. 63.]
Lincoln County then included the whole of the counties of
Kennebec and Somerset up to the Canada line. Canaan then in
cluded Skowhegan. Seth Wyman may have been his wife's
brother. March 21, 1789. Ebenezer Richardson conveys to Amasa
Steward, of Canaan, about one hundred acres of land in Canaan.
As no wife joins in the conveyance, the transfer must have been
made between the first and second marriage. [Lincoln Deeds,
xxxvi. 38.]
. It is tolerably clear that Ebenezer Richardson lived on the
west side of the Kennebec River, in the present territory of
Skowhegan. There are people now in that town of the names
of Steward and Wyman.
I have no account of wife or children.
5337.
Joel Richaedson 5 (Hezekiah? Nathaniel? Thomas? Thom
as1), brother of the preceding; born in Townsend, Mass., June
22, 1758.

566 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
He was a soldier three years in the war of the Revolution.
After the war, he settled in Litchfield, Me., near his brother Abi
jah, and died there. He was a farmer. At one time he lived in
Portland. Further information is lacking.
5338.
Joshua Richaedson5 (Hezekiah? Nathaniel? Thomas?
Thomas1), brother of the preceding; born in Townsend, Mass.,
Dec. 20, 1759.
Like his brothers, Ebenezer and Joel, he served three years in
the armies of his country, during the war of our Independence.
After the war, he went to Maine, and settled in Litchfield,
where his brothers Abijah and Joel also settled, and not far from
the same time. After a residence there of thirty years, more or
less, he removed to Ohio, as many did, after an exceedingly cold
and unproductive season, that of 1816, when it was said there
was frost every month in the year.
He had two sons, grown to manhood, whom he left behind, to
wit: +5621. Joshua,6 b. March, 1796 ; m. Deborah Fales.
5622. Hezekiah.6 He lived and died in Mexico, in the county of Ox
ford, Me. He has a son :
5623. Isaac} who lives in Chelsea, near Boston, May, 1874, and a
daughter, the wife of  Butler, in Chelsea.
5339.
Simeon Richaedson5 (Hezekiah? Nathaniel? Thomas?
Thomas x), brother of the preceding, and youngest son of Hezer
kiah 4 and Elizabeth (Walker) Richardson ; born in Townsend,
May 4, 1763.
It is said that he was a Revolutionary soldier. To be more
definite, it is stated that he performed military service in the
Rhode Island campaign, August, 1778. If so, it is remarkable,
as he was then but little more than fifteen years old. This is
considerably under the military age, and he could not then have
been compelled to do military duty.
About 1790, he went to Maine, as four of his brothers had
done, and made his home in Solon, on the Kennebec River, a few
miles above Norridgewock. He died there. The name of his
wife has not been reported. His children were :
5624. Simeon,6 lived and died in Madison, an adjoining town.
5625. Nahum.6
5626. Polly,6 unmarried
5627. Lucy,6 unmarried.
5628. Rhoda,6 unmarried.

He lived in Woburn ; owned land in Stoneham, near Medford
line, 1784. His father, Benjamin,4 having died 1782, nearly
eighty years of age, our Benjamin5 and his son Benjamin6 were
appointed to administer the estate of the deceased, 1782.
He was drowned Sept. 5, 1786. His widow Rebecca died
April 26, 1812, aged 82.

Capt. Iseael Richaedson 6 (Israel? Nathaniel? Nathaniel?
Thomas1), son of Israel Richardson,4 of Brookfield, Mass.; born
there, Jan. 24, 1736 ; married, 1759, Susanna Foebush, born in
Hardwick, Aug. 14, 1735.
Though his birth is recorded in Brookfield, it is next to certain
that he was born in what is now Spencer, which was the second
precinct of Brookfield till April 3, 1753, when it was incorporated
as a town. The military returns describe him as of Spencer in
1756, when he served as a private in the campaign of that year.
He was taxed in Templeton in 1763, but only for a poll.
After marriage they lived in New Salem, a town near Hard
wick, till 1781. His grandson, Chauncey Richardson, assures me
that he was a captain in the Continental army, which, I think,
must mean that he commanded a company of militia called out
to resist the invasion of Burgoyne in 1777, which appears to have
been the fact. I am told, however, that he was in the battle of
White Plains, Oct. 28, 1776, and in the battle of Monmouth,
June 28, 1778, when, as I understand, none but the enlisted Con
tinental troops were present.
In the summer of 1781, having sold his property in New
Salem, he removed, with his wife and three sons, then constitut
ing his entire family, to Woodstock, Vt. He bought six hundred
acres of land where that beautiful village now stands. He gave
to the County of Windsor a plot of land sufficient to set the
court house on and land for the common, and built two large
houses for inns and places of refreshment for the courts and the
public. His occupation, besides the care of a farm, was that of a black
smith and gunsmith. He was also the first trader in the village,
and was probably in his day the most wealthy man in Woodstock.
He died May 8, 1800, aged 64. His wife died Sept. 1, 1806,
aged 71. Their children, all born in New Salem, were :
J 5678. Israel,6 b. Nov. 14, 1759; m. Hannah Kellogg.

Majoe James Richaedson6 (James? James? Nathaniel?
Thomas1), eldest son of James4 and Sarah4 (Fowle) Richardson;
born in Woburn, Dec. 25, 1729 ; married, Feb. 12, 1749-50, Han
nah Reed, born Jan. 28, 1728-9, daughter of Daniel and Mary
(Convers) Reed, of Woburn.
Mary Convers,4 her mother, born Jan. 12, 1701-2, was a daugh
ter of Capt. Josiah 8 and Ruth (Marshall) Convers. Capt. Josiah 8
was a son of Dea. Josiah,2 who was the eldest son of Dea. Ed-
waed Convees,1 one of the founders of Woburn, 1641. It was,
therefore, a highly respectable, indeed eminent family.
Daniel Reed, father of our Mrs. Richardson, born Oct. 1, 1700,
was son of Daniel, who was son of Ralph, born in England, but
brought to this country in 1635, when five years old, by his par
ents, William and Mabel Reed. [Sewall's Hist, of Woburn.]
James Richardson, after marriage, spent three or four years in
his native Woburn, and then removed to Leominster, a new town,
incorporated June 23d, equivalent to July 4, 1740. His father
went there six years previously. He soon rose to distinction
there. He commanded a military company, 1756, in the expedi
tion against Crown Point. He was selectman, 1763, 1764, 1766,
and 1771; surveyor of highways, 1764 and 1768; constable, 1765;
assessor, 1766 ; and one of a committee chosen, 1767, to divide
the town into three parts for the purpose of schooling. We find
him called captain in 1768, and major, 1772.
He was administrator of his father's estate; sworn as such
April 7, 1763.
He was a wealthy and public-spirited man. He was a man of
business on a large scale, for that region, and for those times.
He was engaged in the manufacture of potash, and made money
by it. He kept a country store opposite to his house. His
house was a most spacious and elegant mansion. It was built by
a Mr. Leland ; it is the " Old Leland Place." It is still standing,
and in good repair, though considerably over one hundred years
old. It is well known as the " Old Abbey." There are two rows
of beautiful elm trees, one on each side of the road, set out by
~"ijor James Richardson.
He bought a mill and mill-privilege, on the Nashua River, with
the land adjacent, which, once belonged to Ebenezer Wilder, and
afterwards to Jonathan Wilson. He rebuilt the mill with a new
dam ; but failing in business, the property passed into the hands
of some of his creditors in Boston, particularly one of the name
of Hubbard. Since 1845, the mill has been an appendage of the
paper-mill of Edward Crehore. [Wilder's Hist, of Leominster.]
Becoming insolvent, he returned to Woburn, and died there.
[Midd. Prob. Records.] His wife Hannah survived him.
His children were,

Col. William Richaedson 6 (James? James? Nathaniel?
Thomas J), brother of the preceding, and second son of James 4
and Sarah (Fowle) Richardson ; born in Woburn, May 6, 1731 ;
married, about 1754, Esthee Joslin, born March, 1729, daughter
of John, who was a son of Peter Joslin, born 1665, one of the
early settlers of Lancaster*
He went with his father's family from Woburn to Leominster
about 1734. He must have been born in Woburn, though his
birth is recorded in Lancaster. Leominster was a. part of Lancas
ter at that time, and was separated from it by an act of incorpora
tion, dated June 23, 1740. It was, about 1734, receiving frequent
accessions of inhabitants from the towns near Boston.
That he was a brother of Major James Richardson [5407], con
clusively appears from the statement of his nephew, Josiah,9 son
of Luke.6
He passed his life in Princeton, Mass., in that part which was
taken from Lancaster. His children's births are recorded in Lan
caster. The greater part of Princeton was taken from Rutland. It had
previously been known as Wachuset, because the mount Wachu-
set is there.
The General Court of Massachusetts, in October, 1759, passed
" an Act for erecting the East Wing of Rutland, so called, in the
County of Worcester, and sundry farms contiguous thereto . . .
into a separate District by the name of Princetown."
In the Act, which I have before me, the bounds and measure
ments are very particularly given. It is conterminous with Nar
raganset No. 2 [Westminster], the second precinct of Lancaster
[Sterling], Holden, and Shrewsbury. Then is added the follow
ing: * On the 18th of July, 1692, a party of Indians attacked the house of Peter
Joslin in Lancaster, while he was at work in the field, and murdered his wife,
three children, and a widow Whitcomb, who resided in the family. He out
lived his fourth wife, and died at the house of his son John in Leominster,
April 8, 1759, aged 94. He was the grandfather of Esther Joslin in the text.
Capt. John Joslin, with a company of volunteers under his command, was
at the battle of Bennington, August 16, 1777. His youngest brother, Thomas
Joslin, was shot through the heart at the first fire. Peter Joslin, another
brother, was at the battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778.

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 573
" And be it further enacted, that William Richardson, Esquire,
be and hereby is empowered to issue his warrant to some princi
pal inhabitant of said District, requiring him to notify and warn
the inhabitants of said District, qualified by law to vote in to.wn
affairs, to meet at such time and place as shall be therein set forth
to choose all such officers as shall be necessary to manage the af
fairs of said District."
The district thus incorporated, comprised nearly fifteen thou
sand acres, constituting the main part of what is now the town of
Princeton ; was incorporated as a town April 24, 1771. Besides
" the east wing of Rutland," it took in " sundry farms contiguous
thereto," in Lancaster or rather in Sterling, one of which was the
farm of William Richardson, who appears to have been a prime
mover of the enterprise. It was called Princeton, to perpetuate
the name and memory of Rev. Thomas Prince,* then colleague
pastor of the Old South Church, Boston, and a large proprietor
of this tract of land. His only surviving daughter and child
afterwards became the wife of Hon. Moses Gill, Lieut. Governor
of Mass., under Governor Sumner, 1797 to June, 1799, and after
the death of Governor Sumner acting governor the remainder of
the year. At the time of the incorporation, as a district, there
were about thirty families in the place. [Hist, of Princeton.]
William Richardson was a merchant and a tailor, as well as an
agriculturist. He was a leading man and magistrate in Lancas
ter, as he afterwards was in Princeton. Of Lancaster he was
representative ten years, between 1741 and 1761. He was sent
to Boston to procure the incorporation of Princeton, which was
effected mainly by his efforts. He was town clerk of Princeton,
1768 and 1774; selectman, 1774; assessor 1774; justice ofthe
peace, colonel of the militia, etc.
He was a creditor of his father, at his father's death, 1761.
He died Dec. 30, 1814, aged 83. His wife Esther died Oct. 13,
1814. Both were buried in Princeton.

" When my father and mother commenced housekeeping, 1758, it was in the
house with grandfather [James Richardson,4 one of the early settlers of Leo
minster], where they continued to live. .. .The first settlers in those days
were compelled to endure sufferings and hardships far beyond any that were
endured by the early settlers in the far West. They were surrounded not
only by the wild beasts of the wilderness, but by the still more ferocious sav
ages. At the approach of night, they took refuge in some garrison, if one
were near; otherwise, they took into the house with them every deadly
weapon, guns, axes, scythes, pitchforks, clubs, everything that could strike a
mortal blow. While hoeing in the field, their big dog would sometimes fly to the

went to the swamp to obtain wood for fuel, they would find logs partly
burned, where Indians had roasted corn. There was a spot on the hill, as one
goes to the swamp, where I have counted twenty or thirty Indian corn-hills at
a time. Tomahawks, scalping-knives, flint arrow-heads stone hoes, stone
chisels for cutting ice, and other native implements were found long withm

He represented the town in the legislature in 1796, 1797, and

They settled in Petersham after marriage, but removed back
to Leominster before 1771, and passed the remainder of life there.
He was a yeoman. He was a capable man, and like his brothers,
much occupied with town affairs. He was surveyor of highways,

1780 and 1781, or ten years in the whole, and town clerk from

my remembrance. If those were not times that tried men's souls— and
women's also— I have yet to learn what could be.
" At that time there was but one school-house in town ; it stood nearly op
posite the old burying ground. My mother never went to a man's school. but
one day in her life, and then she walked from Dea. Butters' farm to that
school-house, over roads in the woods so bad as to make it three-fold worse
than it would be now. When her children were old enough to attend school,
there were four school-houses in town.
" In those days, all that was thought needful for boys was to learn to read,
spell, write, and cypher as far as the single rule of three, or perhaps a little
more. The girls must read and spell, and if they could write well enough to
sign their names to a deed it was sufficient for them.
" Notwithstanding the exposure of the people to the effects of Indian feroci
ty, it is a fact that no person was ever killed in Leominster by the Indians.
The shield of divine protection was thrown over the persons and property of
the early settlers, and a blessing rested on their labors. They were a pious,
praying people. They trusted in God; they committed themselves to his care,
and he kept them from harm. They gathered their families around the. do
mestic altar morning and evening, and God kept them from serious harm, and
blessed them in their basket and in their store.

Capt. John Richaedson 6 ( Caleb? John? Nathaniel? Thom
as1), only son of Caleb4 and Elizabeth (Watts) Richardson;
born in Roxbury, Feb. 11, 1737 ; married, first, 1757, before arriv
ing at the age of twenty-one, Ruth Sawtell. She died Oct. 1,
1764. Second, April 21, 1768, Rebecca Mooee, daughter of
Abraham and Silence Moore, of Bolton.
On his father's removal from Roxbury to Bolton, which was
not long previous to 1749, he doubtless removed with him. His
father and his father's brothers had an interest in a township of
land which was known as Narraganset Township, No. 6, within
the present County of Worcester. It was one of the seven town
ships granted by the legislature of Massachusetts, in 1728 and .
1732, to those soldiers, or their heirs, who had done service in

oAr^v? 9l le/l\ r

the war against the Narraganset Indians in 1675 and 1676. As
Nathaniel Richardson, the grandfather of these brothers, was one
of these soldiers, the right devolved on the father and uncles of
our John Richardson. The land was laid out in 1735 in lots of
forty acres each. Joshua Richardson, uncle of John, drew one
of these lots, but being unmarried did not go there to settle.
The matter lay along for many years, and nothing was done
about settling there till about 1750, after the peace of Aix-la-
chapelle. At length, after the marriage of our John Richardson,
it seemed best to make a decisive movement. At what precise
time he went thither is not known ; it was probably about 1760.
The township was incorporated as the town of Templeton, March
6, 1762. It then included portions of Phillipston and Gardner.
We find John Richardson in 1763 taxed in Templeton. Though
only twenty-seven years of age, he was chosen one of the select
men of Templeton in 1764, and his name heads the list of five.
He was also a selectman in 1771, 1772, and 1787. He was town
clerk in 1764 and 1772. He represented the town in the General
Court in 1776, 1777, and 1785.
He was a man of strong mind and will, independent in judg
ment and action, an ardent patriot, ready to serve his country on
every fit occasion. He had a part in the taking of Ticonderoga,
and fought at Bunker Hill, as his descendants assure me.
The town of Templeton had a meeting, Dec. 31, 1772, to con
sider the encroachments made by the British ministry on the
rights and liberties of the American colonies. A committee of
nine persons was chosen to report on the subject. Of this com
mittee Capt. John Richardson was the chairman. The committee
made a spirited report. He was also appointed, May 14, 1774,
on a committee to report resolves respecting goods imported from
Great Britain. Again, Oct. 10, 1779, he was chosen on a com
mittee to regulate prices as affected by the depreciation of the
Continental currency. Thus it appears that for many years he
was a leading man in Templeton.
In 1785 he was administrator of the estate of his father, Caleb
Richardson, of Bolton. [Worcester Prob. Rec, xix. 496.]
His uncles Joshua and James, both bf Bolton, remembered him
in the final disposition of their estates. He died Nov. 4, 1819,
aged 82. His widow Rebecca died Dec. 30, 1832, aged 81.
The old homestead of Capt. John Richardson, at Templeton,
is in excellent preservation, and is "tenderly cherished and occu
pied every summer " by descendants of his daughter, Mrs. Rebec
ca Brown, now residing at Springfield, Mass. There is a good
portrait of him in the possession of his granddaughter, Mrs. Hen
ry A. Page, residing at No. 29 St. James Avenue, Boston. The
face is strong, like the man. From this portrait the engraving
which accompanies this notice is copied.

thirty-one years. He resigned his pastoral charge June 16, 1800,
and died Aug. 20, 1801, at the age of fifty-nine. He had respect
able talents, was prudent and circumspect in his deportment, and
harmony prevailed during his ministry. A part of the interval
between his marriage and his ordination was spent in Bolton ; in
what capacity the compiler is not informed, but probablv as a
teacher. His widow Mary died July 4, 1829, aged 85.

Capt. Joseph Richaedson6 (Philip? Thomas? Nathaniel?
Thomas1), son of Capt. Philip Richardson, of Boston, by his
first wife, Catharine Briggs ; born 1756 ; married, previously to
1784, Saeah Hanson, a daughter of Humphrey and Hannah
Hanson, of Dover, N. H.
The compiler has made very considerable effort to ascertain his
parentage, the date and place of his birth, the residence of his
early youth, and the facts of his life.
His son, John Adams Richardson, Esq., of Durham, N. H.,
whom the compiler visited for this purpose, was very positive
that our Joseph Richardson was born in December, 1756, and
was the son of Philip Richardson, of Boston, by Esther Webster,
the second wife. That he was the son of Philip Richardson
there can be no doubt ; but I think he was not born in Boston,
for in that case how could his father, in August, 1756, have com
mand of a military company raised in central Massachusetts, and
be intimate with Timothy Ruggles, of Hardwick ? Moreover, if
born in December, 1756, he was hardly old enough to be a sol
dier in May, 1775J He certainly could not be the son of Esther
Webster, for not she but Catharine Briggs was the wife of Philip
Richardson in 1756 and some years after. The story took its
rise from the facts that his own mother died when he was quite
young, and his second mother took good care of him, which he
repaid by his kindness to her after the war.
Another statement made to the compiler by the same authority,
though very confidently made, is manifestly erroneous, because it
is contradicted by our Joseph's sworn statement, now before me,
as we shall soon see.
These remarks are offered only to show how little reliance is
due to family tradition, even when very confidently alleged, and
not long after the date of the alleged facts, and made by persons
of unblemished character, without any motive or intention to de
ceive. Here is Joseph Richardson's own statement, made under the
solemnity of an oath :
" To the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas.
"And the said Joseph doth here depose an oath, that he served
in the Revolutionary War as foUows, viz. :
"In the Spring of 1775, 1 enlisted in Capt. Benjamin Titcomb's

company,* in the Second New Hampshire Regiment, commanded
by Colonel Poor, for the term of eight months, during which I
was present at an affair with the enemy on Charlestown Neck.f
Immediately after the expiration of the term, I re-enlisted in the
same company and regiment, for the term of twelve months, dur
ing which I was present in the retreat ofthe American army from
Canada, and was severely wounded in the arm by a party_ of In
dians. ... I was present at the capture of the Hessians at
Trenton, in December, 1776. I was likewise present at the af
fair at Princeton, about the same time, in which my cartridge-box,
containing my pittance of savings, was shot from my side, and
destroyed by a cannon ball. I afterwards enlisted in the same
company and regiment, then commanded by Col. Hale, for the
term of three years; was present at the retreat from Ticonderoga
in 1777, and was in the engagement at Hubbardton, where I was
wounded in the shoulder. I afterwards assisted at the capture of
Burgoyne in the autumn of the same year, and then marched into
winter quarters at Valley Forge. In the year 1778, I was at
Monmouth, and spent the season with the main army at the White
Plains. I marched with Major General Sullivan into the Indian
country, and was present at the engagement with the Indians at
Newtown. After the return of the army, I was, in the month of
January, 1780, at Danbury, in Connecticut, honorably discharged,
my term of service having expired; having spent nearly five years
of the flower of my life, and having lost the service of my limbs
in the cause of my country. Nor was it until the year 1809, that
my duty to my family required me to apply for some remunera
tion for these sacrifices, when the pitiful allowance of two dollars
and fifty cents-upon the pension-list was made me, which was re
garded, not as a favor, but an inadequate compensation for a debt,
earned with the greatest exertion and suffering. . . . Sworn
and declared before the said court the sixth day of July, 1820.'
(Signed) Joseph Richaedson.
Attest, A. Pieece, Clerk.
Here is an additional statement by Joseph Richardson :
" In 1776, 1 was wounded in Canada by the Indians, by having
a ball shot through my left arm. In the retreat from Ticondero
ga, at the battle of Hubbardton,. I received another ball through
my left shoulder." He then repeats what he says in the forego
ing statement about Winter Hill, Trenton, Monmouth, and the
*This statement is utterly inconsistent with the statement made to me at
Durham, viz. : that when Mrs. Esther Richardson left her family to accompany
the. British troops when they left Boston in March, 1776, she placed her son
Joseph with a farmer in Oxford, Mass. If placed at Oxford it must have been
some years previous to 1775. The first enlistments were for eight months,
from May 1, to Dec. 31, 1775. Enlistments for three years were not resorted
to till the beginning of 1777.
tHe means Winter Hill. The N. H. troops, under Stark and Reed, on the
night after the battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775, occupied Winter Hill, and
were reinforced by Poor's regiment, which had not been engaged. They
threw up strong intrenchments, and threw shot from them into Boston. [Bar
ry's Hist, of Mass., vol. iii. 41.]

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 585
campaign in the Indian country; and adds: "I continued in the
service six years." More exactly, it was five years and eight
months in the whole. During the campaign against the Indians,
1779, he was promoted by General Sullivan to be captain of
Artillery. Another document is worthy of notice :
" War Department. "Revolutionary claim.
"I certify that in conformity with the Law ofthe United States
of the 8th of March, 1818, Joseph Richardson, of the county of
Strafford, State of New Hampshire, late a private in the Army
of the Revolution, is inscribed on the Pension-List, Roll of the
New Hampshire Agency, at the Rate of Eight dollars per month,
to commence on the second day of April, 1818.
" Given at the War Office of the United States, this 19th day
of April, 1819. (Signed) J. C. Calhoun,
Secretary, of War."
Another statement made to me in the account furnished to me
by the family at Durham, N. H., to wit, that Joseph Richardson
was present at the surrender of Cornwallis, in October, 1781, is
proved to be without foundation by the foregoing interesting nar
rative. After leaving the army in 1780, he settled in Dover, N. H., and
married as already stated. Some time after, but previous to 1797,
he removed to Durham, N. H., where he passed the remainder of
his life. Disabled for hard work, he was an innholder in Dur
ham. His wife had a brother Dominicus Hanson, of Dover, a
brother Joseph Hanson, of Rochester, trader, and a sister Eliza,
wife of John Philips Gilman, Esq., of Dover. These four united
in the sale of certain parcels of land in Pepperelborough, now
Saco, to Thomas Cutts, of Pepperelborough, April 16, 1802.
[York Deeds, lxvii. 234.]
Understanding that his step-mother, who from love to the royal
cause, had deserted him in March, 1776, and gone off with the
enemy, was in destitute circumstances, he had her brought to his
home, and carefully nourished her during the remainder of her
life. She died March 17, 1810, aged 85.
He died in Durham, N. H., Dec. 22, 1824, aged 68, having
borne the reputation of a true patriot, a good citizen, and a de
voted son. His children were :

Benjamin Richaedson6 (Philip? Thomas? Nathaniel?
Thomas J), brother of the preceding, and son of Philip Richard
son,4 ropemaker, of Boston ; born, it is supposed, in Boston, about
1760. Another statement is that his name was John, which I discredit ;
' that his wife was Sylvia Hawkes, of New Bedford ; that they
were both of New Bedford, which is likely to be true, as we know
that Philip Richardson died when his children were young, and
they were scattered in different places. The statement, moreover,
is that he came to New Sharon, Me., about 1812, which seems to
correspond with a deed dated May 13, 1794, in which about one
hundred acres of land on Sandy River were conveyed to Benja
min Richardson and Jonathan Crowell, by three men in Hallowell.
[Lincoln Deeds, xxxviii. 148.]
New Sharon is on Sandy River. The statement that his name
was John comes from a grandson in Portland, who may have
been in error. This grandson gives the children as follows :

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 589
April 19, 1783; married, Feb. 18, 1807, Peudence Buepee, born
1785, daughter of Moses Burpee, of Sterling.
He was apprenticed to his half-brother Alpheus, in Groton, to
learn the trade of a book-binder. After serving out his time
there, he returned to Sterling, and carried on the chair business
on land belonging to his father. June 6, 1808, something over a
year after his marriage, his father, in a deed of gift, presented him
with the place on which he was residing. It was a small farm,
just south of the home estate, consisting of eleven and a half
acres with the buildings thereon. Here he resided, continuing to
carry on. the chair business, until January, 1818, when he pur
chased the home estate of his father and went there to live, the
infirm health of the father making it necessary that the property
should pass into more vigorous hands. He continued as proprie
tor of the hotel known since 1777 as " The Richardson Tavern "
until his death, July 20, 1828, at the age of forty-five. The es
tate then passed into the hands of his eldest son, William B.
Richardson, who purchased of the other heirs, by request of the
father before he died.
The widow Prudence continued to reside there until Nov. 17,
1830, when she married Stephen Holman, of Royalston, Mass.,
and removed thither. Mr. Holman died June 23, 1833, and his
wife, a second time a widow, returned to Sterling after his death,
and still resides on the home estate with her son, William B.
Richardson, at the advanced age of ninety years.
The farm was and always has been very large. It contained,
probably, over three hundred acres. Much of the original estate
has been sold, and some new purchases have been made, causing
it to differ considerably from what it once was. It is situated in
West Sterling. The location is beautiful. The house is unusu
ally spacious ; it contains a large arched hall, formerly used as a
Free Mason's Hall, which has been partitioned off into chambers.
A part of the house is the original structure, which was pur
chased in 1777 by Squire Richardson, but has been enlarged and
improved in various ways, and is now in excellent repair. About
thirty years since the present owner set out a row of seventeen
elms in front, on the opposite side of the street, which in summer
afford a grateful and beautiful shade.
Many remains of antiquity, formerly belonging to the " Old
Squire," are still in the possession of the present owner, his
grandson. Among them are some ancient ware, a mirror bought
by him at the auction following the decease of Lieut. Gov. Moses
Gill, in Princeton, two card tables, and part of a set of elegant
china from the same source, an old-fashioned mahogany side
board, decanters, etc. The papers, also, of the old squire have
been carefully preserved.
In one of the cemeteries in Sterling, not far from the Richard
son homestead,_is the family vault, where rest the remains of old
Squire Benjamin Richardson, three of his wives, and some of his
children. The body of his first wife was removed thither from
Leicester. Above this vault is a square, brick monument, about

three feet in height, on the top of which is a slate-stone slab,
bearing his name and the names of his wives and children. The
vault contains, also, the mortal remains of those of the family
who have since died.

aged 45. His children were :

An obituary notice says : " She possessed those traits of charac
ter which give to female excellence its most endearing charms.
Retiring in her manners, equable and conciliatory in her temper,
strict in her observance of duty, yet not censorious on the failings
of others, her friendship was shared with equal safety and pleas
ure by the young as well as the old, for all found in her a com
panion and friend. But it was in discharging the duties of home
that her virtues shone most conspicuously, for there she was
always found ministering to the improvement and happiness of a
family to whieh she was devoted, and by which her death was
most deeply lamented." After a long and distressing illness, she

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 599
His early advantages of education were very limited, being
confined to a small country school, kept six or eight weeks in
winter and about as long in summer, which he attended when he
could be spared from the labors of the farm. He continued to
work on the farm till nearly eighteen years of age, and then at
tended the Billerica Academy, at that time taught by an eminent
teacher, Ebenezer Pemberton. His preparation for college was
completed under a private tutor, Rev. Titus T. Barton, minister
of Tewksbury.
In 1798, he entered Dartmouth College, where he graduated in
1802. A respectable part at commencement was assigned to him,
but being unable to pay his college bills, he was compelled to de
cline the appointment. Among his class-mates were Rev. Brown
Emerson, D. D., many years pastor of the Third Church in Sa
lem, and Dr. Amos Twitchell, eminent in the profession of medi
cine. He studied theology a few months with his pastor, Rev.
Dr. Henry Cummings, of Billerica, and was in 1803 licensed to
preach by the Andover Association, of which Rev. Dr. Symmes,
of North Andover, was the moderator. From 1804 to March,
1806, he was a teacher in the Grammar School in Charlestown,
Mass., preaching occasionally, but refusing to be a candidate for
settlement. In the summer of 1805, he engaged to supply the
pulpit at Hingham, Mass., but continued in his school in Charles
town. Before many weeks the parish at Hingham gave him a
call to settle as their minister. He returned a negative answer ;
but the invitation being repeated, he relinquished his school, and
on the second day of July, 1806, was ordained the minister of
the First (Unitarian) Parish in Hingham, the sermon being
preached by Rev. William Bentley, D. D., of Salem. The posi
tion then assigned him he retained through the remainder of a
long life.
He served his generation not only as a, minister but in civil
life. In 1821 and 1822, he represented the town of Hingham in
the Legislature of Massachusetts. During the years 1823, 1824,
and 1826 he was a member from Plymouth County in the senate
of that State. In both bodies, House and Senate, he was chair
man of the Committee on Parishes and Religious Societies. In
1820, he was a member from Hingham of the convention to re
vise the State Constitution after the separation from Maine. He
was a member, from the Plymouth District, of the Congress of
the United States from 1827 to 1831, serving through two terms.
He then declined a re-election, and was succeeded in that office
by the Hon. John Quincy Adams.
After retiring from Congress, he resumed his ministerial duties
at Hingham, which were continued till the close of the fiftieth
year of his ministry. In 1855, Rev. Calvin Lincoln, a native of
the town, was installed as associate pastor.
On the twenty-eighth of June, 1856, he preached a sermon at
the close of the half-century, which was soon after printed. Rev.
Ebenezer Gay, D. D., minister of Hingham from 1718 till his
death in 1787, at the age of ninety-one, preached from the same

600 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
text, Joshua xiv. 10, in the same pulpit, and at the same age,
eighty-five. Dr. Gay's sermon was entitled "The Old Man's
Calendar;" it became very celebrated, was reprinted in England,
translated into the Dutch language, and went through several
editions in this country.
The house of worship in which Mr. Richardson preached was
built in 1681, and careful research has shown that it is the oldest
house for public worship which now exists within the original
limits of the United States, and which continues to be used for
the purpose for which it was erected, and remains on the spot
where it was built. There are ruins of older meeting-housbs,
and fragments and relics of older meeting-houses may exist, but
the statements just made have ample evidence. The frame of
the old meeting-house in Hingham was of oak, and it is there
now. The original seats, also, were of oak ; they were removed
in 1755, and pews placed in their stead.
The original floor being placed too near the ground, it was
found to be far gone in a state of decay. It became necessary,
therefore, to place a new floor under the whole house, to preserve
it from destruction. This was done in 1869. It rendered the re
moval of all the old pews, built in 1755, necessary, and the re
moval involved their destruction. Some other repairs were made,
but in every essential point, the house remains as when built in
1681. The spire rises from the centre of the roof.
It was supposed by some that there was a lack of distinctness
and thoroughness in Mr. Richardson's preaching, and he was com
monly reputed a Unitarian. But there was a biandness of man
ner and kindness of spirit in his intercourse with mankind, which
gave him a strong hold on his people. He was certainly a man
of peace. He solemnized five hundred and thirty-four marriages.
He was the author of a school book, entitled "The American
Reader," and another school book entitled " The ¦¦ Young Ladies'
Selection of Elegant Extracts." Twelve of his discourses on
special occasions were printed during his life-time, the last being
a sermon on his eighty-sixth birthday, Feb. 1, 1863, read to the
congregation by the junior pastor, Rev. Calvin Lincoln. The
text was Joshua xiv. 10, the last clause, " Lo, I am this day four
score and five years old." It must not be confounded with the
sermon already referred to, preached in 1856, at the close of the
half-century, which was also printed.
His " Letters to Congress " attracted much attention. In the
early part of his ministry he published " A Narrative of the Pro
ceedings in the North Parish [Hingham], of 84 pages, with an
Appendix" of 55 pages, Salem, 1807. Somebody else wrote " A
Vindication of the Proceedings of the First Church and Parish
of Hingham, in settling Rev. Joseph Richardson," of 80 pages,
Boston, 1807. Of this a second edition was printed.
He died in Hingham, Sept. 25, 1871, aged 93 years, 7 months,
24 days. His pastoral connection ended only with his life. His
wife survived him.
They had no children.

Col. Josiah Beown Richaedson6 (Jacob? Hezekiah? Nathan
iel? Thomas? Thomas1), brother of the preceding; born in Bil-
* Greenfield is a town in the County of Hillsborough. N. H., thirty-five
miles south-west from Concord, about twenty-five miles from the Massachu
setts line, and four hundred and fifty -four miles from Washington. Contoo-
cook River, which meets the Merrimac at Concord, makes a part of its western
boundary. The surface is uneven, but the soil is generally fertile, the hills
being adapted to grazing and the valleys to tillage. The scenery around is
grand and majestic. The Grand Monadnock and Peterborough Mountains on
the south-west are in full view; on the north is the Crotched Mountain, while
the Lyndeborough Mountain rises on the east and south-east. In the splendor
and grandeur of the prospects thus afforded, the region ranks next to the
White Mountain range. There are beautiful ponds alternating with the
mountain scenery, making the region very attractive in summer to people liv
ing on the sea-coast.
in former years manufacturing of various kinds has been in progress here.
There was a tannery, fulling mill, flour mill, two saw-mills, and several black
smiths' shops. Carriage-making, in all its branches, has been going on, in ex
tent next to what is seen in Concord, and in quality equal thereto. There was
a plough factory, conducted by Charles and Cyrus Richardson [6056, 6057],
sons of Jacob Richardson. These brothers have managed two stores, and
much of the time, three. There are now, 1875, in the town four stores, a steam
grist-mill, blacksmith shop, hotel much resorted to in the summer season, and
a church, the lower story of whieh is occupied as a town hall. A large hotel
is soon to be erected to accommodate summer boarders.
The first settlement here was made in 1771, by Major Amos Whittemore,
Capt. Alexander Parker, and others. The town was incorporated June 15,
1791. Major Whittemore gave the town its name.

lerica, Oct. 1, 1773 ; married in Hillsborough, N. H., Nov. 27,
1799, Maey Wyman6 who was baptized Feb. 20, 1774, second

years ; a colonel in the Massachusetts militia ; and died in the

Timothy Richaedson6 (Jacob? Hezekiah? Nathaniel?

N. H.
He lived in Lyndeborough, N. H., conterminous with Green
field. He died, intestate, about the close of 1855, as we infer from
the fact that his son John Richardson, Esq., was appointed admin
istrator of his estate, Feb. 6, 1856. [Hillsborough Prob. Records
lxv. 16.]
He left no widow. As his two elder children, Harriet and
Hooper, did not sign receipts as legatees, nor the wife either, we
suppose they had deceased. Children :
6064. Harriet,7 deceased young.,
6065.. Hooper,7 deceased.

Abijah Richaedson 6 (Abijah? Hezekiah? Nathaniel?
Thomas? Thomas1) son of Abijah6 and Eunice (Thompson)
Richardson, of Litchfield, Me. ; born in Westford, Mass., May
9, 1775, before his father's removal; married, March 17, 1799,
Rebecca Malcolm, of Salem, who was born Nov. 11, 1782,
daughter of David Malcolm.
Her mother's first husband was a Becket. They had a son,
Joseph H. Becket, Esq., who was executor of his step-father's will
in 1827. This makes a little confusion in the record. Rebecca
Malcolm had not only two husbands, but she had a son Joseph H.
Becket, and also a son Joseph Becket Richardson ; both grown
up men in 1827.
Abijah Richardson ° was a ship carpenter. He lived in Cush
ing, Me., a town convenient for his business, and not far from
Litchfield, his early home. He died, March 4, 1827, aged 52.
His will is dated Sept. 22, 1826; proved June 6, 1827; recorded
Lincoln Prob. Records, xxvii. 437. His step-son, Joseph H. Beck
et, Esq., was executor, and presented the will for probate. By
the will, the widow Rebecca was to have all the estate, both real
and personal, by paying out to each ofthe children, who were ten
in number, the sum of one dollar.
The inventory included only a house and land immediately
around the same, valued at three hundred dollars, and personal
estate $167.25; total $467.25. So that there was not much to
divide among the heirs.
The children of Abijah and Rebecca were :
+6075. Joseph Becket,7 b. in Salem, Feb. 1, 1800; m. Ann Hathorne.
6076. Eliza,7 b. Aug. 30, 1801 ; unm. ; d. May 14, 1817.

March 25, 1813, Saeah Rollins Lovejoy, born in Fayette, Me.,
Oct 3, 1792.
He was designed for a physician ; but the losses sustained by
his father by becoming surety for two traders [in Litchfield ?] de
feated the plan, and our Cornelius, at the age of fourteen, was
bound apprentice to a blacksmith, with whom he continued till
the age of twenty-one. He afterwards learned the trade of stone-
cutting. He was a man of decided talent, which his neighbors were not
slow to perceive. Soon after arriving at the age of twenty-one,
he was chosen captain of a military company, and was called
into active service in the war of 1812-1815. He removed from
Litchfield to Livermore in 1817, and thence to Turner in 1819.
He was appointed administrator of his father's estate, in prefer
ence to his older brothers, Aug. 26, 1822. He was postmaster
at North Turner twelve years; was a justice of the peace many
years; and performed for his neighbors, without any charge,
all the lesser services of a surgeon and dentist. He was a very
capable and energetic man. He is now living, 1874, at the age of
eighty-four, though very infirm.

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 615
Feb. 21, 1761 ; married, 1784, Maey Powees, daughter of Dr.
Stephen Powers, of Woodstock, Vt.
Dr. Stephen Powers came from Middleborough, Mass., to
Woodstock in 1774. He was the grandfather of Hiram Powers,
the eminent sculptor, who was born in Woodstock, Vt., July 5,
1805. The sculptor now lives, or did lately live, in Italy.
Jason Richardson went with his father's family to Woodstock
in 1781. He was by trade a blacksmith. He had a large farm,
and kept a hotel in the village of Woodstock. He died Oct. 19,
1805, aged 44. His widow married Oliver Williams in 1808.
The children of Jason and Mary Richardson were :
6192. Susanna,7 b. June 6, 1785 ; m. her cousin, Israel P. Richardson
[61851.
6193. Lydia Drew,7 b. Nov. 17, 1786; m. Dr. Lyman Paddock, an em
inent physician of Barre, Vt. She died at Barre, April 17,
1867.

6198. Israel B.,7 b. Oct. 4, 1799; was a physician in Michigan; d. at
Saginaw, Mich., May, 1874.
5680.
De. Lysandee Richaedson6 (Israel? Israel? Nathaniel? Na
thaniel?' Thomas1), brother of the preceding; born in New
Salem, Mass., March 30, 1763; married Lois Ransom, of Wood
stock, Vt., May 8, 1787.
At the age of fourteen, in 1777, he went as a waiter on his
father, who was captain of a military company. Both father and
son were summoned to resist the invasion of the British army
under Burgoyne in the autumn of 1777, but the father being sick,
Lysander went without him. Though but a few months over
fourteen, Lysander and another boy named Joseph French tied
on their knapsacks, shouldered their muskets, and marched, with
no other companions, from New Salem to Stillwater, a distance,
probably, of one hundred miles. After the surrender of Bur
goyne, and not before, they returned home.
In the year 1781, Lysander accompanied the family of his
father, Capt. Israel Richardson, to their new home in Woodstock,
Vt. Not very long after, it was concluded that Lysander should
study medicine. Accordingly, he went to study with Dr. Stephen
Powers, already mentioned, the only physician in the town at
that time ; but the condition was previously exacted from him
that after obtaining a license he should not practice within ten
miles of that doctor's house. When, therefore, he had finished
his course of study, he felt obliged to go to Barnard, an adjoin
ing town, and set up his employment there. This was probably
about the year 1786.
In 1787, soon after marriage, he returned to Woodstock, not,
however, to practice medicine, and went to live on Hartland Hill,
on a good farm which the captain, his father, bought of Josiah

616 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
Hurlburt. It overlooked Beaver Meadow, and the town of Hart-
land was near by on the east. In 1789, the father bought thirty-
seven acres of land, known in more recent times as the King
farm, at the end of Pleasant Street, and built on it a house for
his son, which the latter soon after occupied. Dr. Richardson
remained here till the spring of 1793. He then leased it to Jacob
Wilder, and removed to Pittsford, a town west of the Green
Mountain range, and resumed the practice of his profession. In
one year more, he returned to Woodstock, and settled again on
his farm on Pleasant Street, relying on the paternal affection of
his father, who would not allow his favorite son to suffer. But
by and by he began to be vexed and harassed with lawsuits, and
in 1798 was imprisoned in the county jail for failure to meet the
pavment of a bond he had given to oblige a friend. His son
Chauncey, who gives these statements, now living in Woodstock,
at the age of more than eighty years, vividly recalls his painful
sensations when his father drew him, at the age of five, through
the port-hole of the prison door into the cell where he was con
fined. In May, 1800, after his father's death, Dr. Richardson removed
to the farm near the south village in Woodstock, owned and
occupied in after years by his son Chauncey. Here he spent the
remainder of his days. Here he died, April 3, 1813, at the age of
50. In religious belief he was a Universalist. His wife survived
him till Oct. 18, 1847, when she died at Riga, N. Y., aged 82.
Their children were:
+6199. Fanny,7 b. July 1, 1788; m. Selah B. Upham.
6200. Hannah,7 b. July 10, 1790; m. Jonathan Kingsley.

Richardsbn, of Leominster; born there, Jan. 30, 1761; married,
May 23, 1781, Lucy Kendall, daughter of Jonas Kendall, of
Leominster. The Kendalls, as well as the Richardsons, of Leominster, re
moved thither from Woburn about 1740.
He graduated at Dartmouth College in 1778. He studied no
profession, at least entered on no profession, but taught school in
Leominster, Mass., Swanzey, N. H., and Putney, Vt., and at length
removed to Durham, Canada East, where he died, at what time is
not known. His widow Lucy died at Leominster, Nov. 28, 1799.
An inventory of her estate is dated Aug. 27, 1800. Her brother,
Abel Kendall, was the administrator. In the inventory sheds de
scribed as late of Leominster. [Worcester Prob. Records, xx. 515.]

iel? Thomas1), eldest son of Col. William6 and Esther (Joslin)
Richardson, of Princeton, Mass. ; born in that part of Lancaster
which became first a part of the district, and afterwards of the
town of Princeton, Mass., Jan. 28, 1757 ; married a lady of the
name of Miles.
He was a dry-goods merchant in Boston, dealing especially in
silks. At what time he commenced business in Boston is not
known ; but the fact is certain it was previous to 1797. See be
low. The Boston Directory for 1800, now before me, represents
him as " William Richardson, shopkeeper, No. 65 Cornhill." The
name Cornhill at that time was applied to that part of Washing
ton Street which extended from Milk Street northward. It ap
pears from other sources that our William Richardson imported
dry goods of various kinds, and did a profitable business. His
brother Peter kept a tavern at the same time on " Exchange
Lane." The compiler's father had a dry-goods store a few doors
from the store of William Richardson, and nearly opposite to
Water Street.
William Richardson and Dudley Walker, both of Boston, mer
chants, took a mortgage, May 12, 1797, from John Peek, of Bos
ton, of 4,480 acres of land in Township No. 1, adjoining to New

618 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
Pennycook and Androscoggin River, in Cumberland County, Me.
[Cumb. Deeds, xxvi. 178.]
Dudley Walker, at that time, was a shopkeeper, at No. 24
Cornhill. William Richardson named one of his sons for him.
This mortgage seems to indicate prosperity. He spent his lat
ter years in Dorchester.
The children of William Richardson were :
6213. Thomas,7 settled in Tiffin, Ohio, and died at the age of eighty.
+6214. Nicholas,7 a merchant in Hayti.
6215. William,7 settled in Richmond, Va., and died at about seventy

and Damaris Richardson, of Leominster ; born there, Feb. 18,
1777 ; married Reliance Ceock.ee Ceosby, of Athol, Worces
ter County, Mass.
He lived in Leominster till near the age of forty, and appears
to have pursued the business of a teacher. He also lived in
Keene, N. H. He was town clerk of Leominster five years, from
1811 to 1815, inclusive. He was one of the board of school
committe, 1809, 1811, and 1812; selectman, 1811, 1812, and 1815 ;
assessor, 1813 and 1814. He then applied himself to a mercan
tile life. He was a merchant some years in Wendell, Franklin
County, Mass. He and his wife, while there, supposed themselves
to become subjects of renewing grace, and united with the Or
thodox Church. He was till death an active member in that de
nomination. He removed from Wendell to Albany, and was in
trade in that city. From Albany he removed to Baltimore, Md.,
where he lived many years, and buried his only son, aged eighteen
years. After passing his seventieth year, he gave up active employ
ments, and returned to his native Leominster to pass the rem
nant of his days. He died Oct. 28, 1863, aged 86 years, 8 months.
His will is dated June 25, 1862. As the will mentions no wife or
children, probably they were all deceased. The will mentions
his brother Sewall, but no other heir.
We have information of no other offspring of his besides :

His will is dated April 12, 1841 ; proved June 7, 1841 ; record
ed Lincoln Prob. Rec, li. 46. He gives to his niece, Sarah E.

ried, the testator's nieces, Sarah Richardson Thompson [63017]
and Betsey Richardson [6309], daughters of the testator's broth
er John, were td have the legacy. [Sarah E. Rowe was a daugh

The inventory included a dwelling-house on Front Street, in
Bath, in the account described as on Washington Street, valued
at $2,000, and personal estate, $1,514.83; total, $3,514.83.
In the executor's accounts, 1842 and 1847, Sarah E. Hodgkins
received the legacy of one thousand dollars, showing her identity
with Sarah E. Rowe in the will. She was, I suppose, the wife of
Edward Hodgkins, of Boston.

626 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.:
Dorcas King, of Saco, sister of Rufus King, senator of the
United States, and of Gen. William King, the first governor of
Maine, after the separation from Massachusetts. Her sister Sarah
was the second wife of Hon. Edmund Parker, of Amherst, and
of Nashua, N. H., eminent as a legislator and a business man.
Her sister Mary was the wife of Benjamin Frederic French, a
lawyer, legislator, and agent of manufacturing companies in
Nashua and Lowell, the places of his residence. Her sister Bet
sey was wife of Rev. Nathan Lord, pastor twelve years in Am
herst, N. H., and president of Dartmouth College thirty-five
years, from 1828 to 1863. Dr. Lord and wife had eight sons who
went through the full course of instruction at Dartmouth College.
Mr. Richardson married, second, 1838, Mes. Maeia (Ogden)
Waud, born in Newark, N. J., Oct. 9, 1793, daughter of Jona
than and Mary (Vance) Ogden, and widow of Marmaduke
Waud. Mr. Waud (not Ward) was a native of Houdon, in the
East Riding of Yorkshire, England, and a merchant in New
York City. He died in 1830.
When a young man, Mr. William Richardson left his native
Leominster and followed his elder brothers, John and Green, into
Maine. After a short stay in Berwick and Topsham, he settled
in Bath, Me. In that thriving city he passed the remainder of
his life. He was a merchant, accomplished and successful, so
that he early retired from the pursuits of commerce. He was not
a member of any church, but he regularly attended public wor
ship, avowed a Christian hope, and his pastors and friends had
perfect confidence in him as a Christian man. He enjoyed the
confidence, indeed, of the whole community.
He was remarkable for his very strict integrity and perfect up
rightness. He was a generous supporter of all good institutions
and enterprises. He was noted for systematic and judicious lib
erality; was highly respected by all of every name, and was one
of the leading and most honored citizens of Bath.
He died in Bath, Dec. 22, 1846, aged 60. His second wife,
Maria, died May 24, 1874, aged 80 years and 7 months.
His will is dated Nov. 5, 1846 ; proved Feb. 17, 1847 ; record
ed Lincoln Prob. Rec, lxiv. 3-9. It is very long, occupying six
pages or more of the record. Much of the estate was committed
to five trustees, who were, his brother-in-law, Edmund Parker, of
Nashua, Benjamin Frederic French, another brother-in-law, of
Lowell, and his sons, Frederic L., Henry L., and John G. Rich
ardson. They give bonds for fifty thousand dollars. Mr. Par
ker, in May, 1851, resigned the trust.
The inventory, dated February, 1850, amounted to $160,315.
It is found in Lincoln Prob. Rec, lxxi. 255.
An abstract of the will now follows. It is inserted as a curios
ity ; it would be difficult to find a parallel. The wife Maria is to
have the use of the dwelling-house, etc., and an annuity of one
thousand dollars.
Eight children of the testator are provided for, to wit : Har

and a large amount of business was transacted. He had a store
on that wharf. He advertised flour and other articles for sale, in
the Portland Gazette, August 18, 1800. He was also in the East

his brothers and their children.

He came from Salem, his native place, to Portland, in Septem
ber, 1801, and in 1802, joined his brother Nathaniel in the store
then lately built on Richardson's wharf, where, and in its neigh
borhood, he continued to the close of a long life. Steadily, in
dustriously, and honorably, he conducted a prosperous and re
munerative business. _ He had great energy of character, and was
so prompt in the discharge of his own duties, and so rigid in his
requirements of duty from others, that he seemed, to persons not
familiar with him in his social hours, to be stern and severe. But
he possessed keen sensibility, and in private and domestic life was
affectionate, gentle and kind.
He was many years in the West India trade. Afterwards was
treasurer of the Portland Manufacturing Company, and presi- ,
dent of the Manufacturers and Traders Bank.
For twenty years he was very active in the municipal affairs of
Portland, as fire warden, superintendent of streets, and selectman;
and was a most efficient officer. He conducted the affairs of the
town with much ability and vigor. Two years, 1823 and 1824,
he was a member of the State Legislature. Whatever he under
took he faithfully performed. He was a true and honorable man
in all his dealings, and expected a like return from others.

632 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAE.
He was a shipmaster in the East India trade, and afterwards a
merchant in Salem. He was, at the date of his death, president
of the American Insurance Company in that town.
While following the seas, he visited some of the islands in the
Pacific Ocean, and performed an important service to the cause of
philology, which is acknowledged in the following passage copied
from the journal of the American Oriental Society, vol. i. No. 1,
p. 52, Boston, 1843 :
" Among the other islands, our countrymen first furnished a
valuable vocabulary of the Fiji language, which supplied an im
portant deficiency in the known vocabularies of the Polynesian
family of languages."
The ensuing note then follows :
" This vocabulary was collected in the year 1811, by the late
William P. Richardson, Esq., of Salem, and is made the subject
of a particular notice and acknowledgment of the late eminent
philologist, Baron William Von Humboldt, to whom it was com
municated about twenty years ago, in his great work entitled,
Ueber die Kaui, Sprache auf der imael Java; that is, On the
Kaui, or Oriental language of the Island of Java, 3 vols., 4to.,
Berlin, 1836-1839. See vol. ii. p. 29."

of North Yarmouth, a native of England, who came to this coun
try at an early age. Her mother, Susan Davis, was born in Glou
cester, Massachusetts.
In early life, he worked at the baker's trade in Charlestown. In
an account written by himself, he says, he went, Nov. 19, 1798,
to live with Lane & Cutter,* to receive from them clothes, board,
and a dollar a week " for spending money." He was orderly ser
geant of a military company in Boston, in September, 1801. , In
June, 1802, he went to North Yarmouth, Me. (now Yarmouth),
and engaged as a clerk in a grocery store ; perhaps in consequence
of his connection with Ammi Cutter, of Boston. Not long after,
he entered into partnership with a Capt. Bennett in that business ;
this connection was dissolved July 15, 1805. He was married,
as above, Jan. 8, 1806, and went to house-keeping. "April 21,
1806. Moved into Capt. Levi Cutter's house ; rent fifty dollars
the year, and half the taxes."f
About 1808, Alford Richardson took a leading part in forming
a Light Infantry Company in Yarmouth, of which he was chosen
captain. He represented that town in the Legislature of Massa
chusetts, four years, from May, 1814 to May, 1818. In politics he
was a Federalist. He was commissioned, June 13, 1814, major
feneral of the Twelfth Division of the Militia of Massachusetts.
he original commission, signed by Caleb Strong, as governor,
and Alden Bradford as secretary of the Commonwealth, is now
before me. It being a time of war, when a long range of coast
was continually threatened by the enemy, the office was no sine
cure. He was honorably discharged, at his own request, Jan. 27,
In February, 1819, he was elected cashier of the Bank of Port
land, and.in May following removed to that town with his family.
He remained in the faithful and honorable discharge of the duties
of that office sixteen years. In 1835, in consequence of ill health,
he resigned that trust. Not long after he was elected to the
Maine Legislature.
His wife having died in 1839, he removed to Cambridge, Mass.,
in October, 1842, and took up his abode for the remainder of life
with his eldest son Edward.
At Yarmouth, Me., when Alford Richardson, then a youth of
twenty-two, removed thither, in June, 1802, Rev. Sylvanus Board-

man, father of the excellent missionary, George Dana Boardman,
occupied the pulpit of the Baptist Church. Although previously
inclined to Universalism, and a hearer of Mr. Murray in Boston,
he now attended the services at the Baptist Church. In his case,
at least, the labors of Mr. Boardman were not in vain. The word
now .preached came to the heart of the subject of this notice.
Distressing conviction of sin was succeeded by peace and joy in
believing on a crucified Saviour. The change was decisive and
manifest. On the seventh day of April, 1811, Mr. Richardson
was baptized by Mr. Boardman, and admitted a member of the
Baptist Church in North Yarmouth.
From this time his course was onward and upward. His hon
esty of purpose, his decision of character, his energy and prompt
ness in action, united with soundness of judgment, and Christian
zeal and earnestness, gained for him the respect and confidence,
not only of the church, but of -the whole community. He was
chosen a deacon of that church, Aug. 17, 1815. He faithfully dis
charged the duties of that office till his removal to Portland, May,
1819 ; after which he was chosen to the same office in the Baptist
Church in Federal Street, to which he had transferred his relation.
In both churches he filled that office sixteen years with credit to
himself and advantage to others. Bodily illness compelled him
to relinquish it in 1835.
In 1835, his limbs began to be affected by paralysis, which grad
ually extended over his whole bodily frame, even to his tongue.
In 1836, he was confined to the house, and was able to walk after
wards only by the help of crutches. With this exception his
health was almost uninterrupted. He was patient, cheerful, and
happy ; keeping himself informed . of passing events, and laying
up treasures in heaven. The Bible was his daily companion, and
from it he derived daily strength and support.
His end was perfect peace. He was a man of sterling integri
ty, of strict truth, faithful to all trusts committed to him, hon
ored and beloved by all.
His wife was for him a fit companion, indeed an invaluable
blessing. Like her husband, once inclined to the doctrine of
universal salvation, she, in a severe sickness after the birth of her
second child, became convinced of her ruined state by nature,
and, renouncing all other hope, yielded herself calmly to the
mercy of God through the atonement of his Son, the Lord Jesus
Chris t. In the spring of 1810, she was baptized by that apostolic
man, the Rev. Sylvanus Boardman, and united with' the Baptist
Church in Yarmouth. There, and at Portland, she was exempla
ry as a wife and a mother, and adorned the doctrine of her God
and Saviour. She habitually lived under the influence of Chris
tian principle. She aided her husband to bear his burdens, often
heavy and depressing. She suffered much from ill health, but
was cheerful, patient, and submissive through the whole. She
died in Portland, May 18, 1839, aged 57. Gen. Richardson, her
husband, died in Cambridge, Dec. 26, 1854, aged 75 years, 2
months.

and a zealous leader in the earliest anti-slavery movement.
He lectured on the subject during his college and theologi
cal course, and twice came near losing his life by a furious
mob. After completing his studies, he was called to settle
in a town in the eastern part of this State. The council
came together and refused to ordain him on account of his
zeal in the anti-slavery cause, which he did not conceal.
Ever after, he followed teaching, saying he could never hold
fellowship with time-serving brethren. What a change since
that time ! Would he had lived to witness it ! "

future wife. At his first house-raising he was assisted by all his
fellow townsmen, who numbered only seven. He then returned
to his native Templeton, was married, and brought his bride,
Adah Hinds, to the home he had prepared for her in that remote
region. Fancy a bridal trip in mid winter from Massachusetts to cen
tral Vermont, performed with a slow team of sober oxen and a
farmer's sled for conveyance, surrounded with feather beds, iron
kettles, and various kitchen utensils.
In the town where he, first made his home, Warren, Washing
ton County, Vt., he continued to reside during the remainder of
life. In that town he became a prominent citizen. He kept a
public house for some years, and was widely known in the sur
rounding country. He was one of the original members of the
Congregational Church, and for years led the choir, which was
often composed of his own family, and it was no feeble singing
they had in those days. He was decided in his opinions, and
willing to express them on all fit occasions, by which he some
times made enemies, but he did not swerve on that account. He
filled many important public offices with ability and credit.
His wife died in July, 1855. He mourned for her deeply, and
often said, on retiring to rest at night, that he hoped never again
to awake on earth. His wish was granted. On the evening be
fore Dec. 25, 1855, he retired in his usual health, and was found
dead in his bed the next morning.

His father, becoming discouraged, left his family and went to
parts unknown, when the son was but sixteen years of age. The
care of the family, consisting of six persons besides the mother,
being thus thrown upon his hands, there was need of all the en
ergy which even an older person could exercise. His industry,
perseverance, and indomitable courage, by the blessing of God,
kept the family from want, and called forth the highest praise
from all who knew the circumstances. He bought one acre of

land, and with some little assistance from neighbors and friends
built a small home for them, which was all their own. From this
small beginning, at this early age, he labored on till he saw all
his brothers and sisters settled in homes of their own.
In a few years he was enabled to purchase a farm, on which he
built a good house, barn, and other out-buildings, and to this
home he took his wife and mother. He was exceedingly fortu
nate in marrying an energetic and talented wife, one who had
been a school teacher, and together they succeeded in gaining
quite a handsome property for farmers, in those times.
He was esteemed as a worthy citizen; was a selectman in
Lempster, N. H., and was collector of taxes many years.
In 1851, he sold his farm in Lempster, and removed to Alstead,
a town in that vicinity, where the last twelve years of his life
were passed in feeble health, and where his body now lies.

Ivoey W. Richaedson 7 (Nathaniel? Joseph? Nathaniel} Na
thaniel? Thomas? Thomas1), brother of the preceding, and son
of Nathaniel Richardson,6 of Weston, Vt.; born there, Feb. 5,
1812 ; married  Geeeley, of Andover, Vt.
He is a lawyer in Boston ; office 68 Cornhill.
Children :
6659. Abbie,8 m. Henry I. Morgan ; resides in Chicago, 1875.
6660. Ivory N.,8 in some sort of business in Boston.

6662. Julia Eliza,8 m. Henry F. Guttetson. He lived only three years
after marriage. She resides With her father in Boston.
6663. Rosa S.,8 unm. ; resides with her father in Boston.
The father of these children, on being applied to for information
respecting the descendants of his grandfather, excused himself by
saying that he feels a greater interest in the present than in the nast
fenerations who have borne the name of Richardson; but by with-
olding all information respecting his own immediate family, his own
wife and children, and leaving the compiler to gather it as he could
from others, compels the inference that even here his interest is not
deep or strong.

firm was Barrett & Shattuck, and it soon became extensively
known. The present writer well remembers visiting their office,
for the receipt and delivery of goods, situated at the corner of
Union and Hanover Streets, in Boston. Mr. Shattuck was
drowned near Charlestown bridge, Dec. 17, 1811, at the age of
29, but was not found and interred till April 12, 1812, nearly four
months afterwards. Of course the fact gave rise to much conver
sation. The business was skillfully conducted ; it proved profitable, and
is continued in the Barrett family till this day. The firm is now,
and for many years has been, Barrett & Brother ; the partners
being Henry Barrett and Aaron Barrett. Their office is now at
No. 296 Washington Street, Boston,- directly opposite to School
Street, and a few rods north of that noted land-mark, the Old
South Church. The number was changed, a year or two since,
from 140 in consequence of the extension of Washington Street,
to the north end of the city.
Jacob Richardson, whose name occurs at the head of this para
graph, became connected with the office in Boston in 1822, as an
assistant and accountant, and some years after, as a partner. Part
of the time residing in Woburn, and part of the time in Boston.
He died in Boston, Nov. 3, 1864, in consequence of being run

Washington Street. His children have been :

Thomaston was divided into the three towns of Thomaston,
Rockland, and South Thomaston. Rockland was formerly known

sive and lucrative business. He was in affluent pecuniary circum
stances ; happy in his domestic relations, and highly esteemed by
his acquaintances and professional brethren. He was of an affa
ble and social disposition, but of a somewhat nervous tempera

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 675
goods merchant in Boston; unmarried. I have not the date of
his birth; it was probably not far from 1788 or 1790.
He was a merchant some years in Hayti, or- St. Domingo. He
had the charge, there, of the business of George and William
Richardson, his brother and cousin [6217, 6224], who traded in
the productions of that island ; receiving the cargoes sent by them,
and sending back cargoes in return. He died there, and the state
ment is that his remains were entombed in a great earthquake at
Cape Hayti, when two thousand persons are said to have perished,
b\it I cannot learn when it was.

Geoege Richaedson 7 ( William? William? William? James?
Nathaniel? Thomas1), brother ofthe preceding; born 1794;
unmarried ; his sister Susan, also unmarried, kept his house.
He was in early life a supercago in the employment of Ebenezer
Francis, an eminent merchant, of Boston, trading to the East In
dies. Later in life, and during many years, he was a merchant in
partnership with his cousin, William Richardson [6224], son of
Samuel, in the shipping and trading business. They . occupied
Eowe's Wharf in Boston, and owned three brigs; one of which,
the Red Rover, went out, and was never heard from. Her com
mander was Capt. Girdler. They carried on a profitable business
many years, dealing in coffee, hides, etc., from St. Domingo and
Russia. Nicholas Richardson [62l4], brother of George, was
their factor in that island.
George Richardson retired from active business in 1837, with a
handsome property, and purchased the Everett homestead in Dor
chester, where he passed the rest of his life in elegant leisure, be
ing a man of liberal culture, and having a taste for the fine arts,
especially painting. His home was the welcome resort of all his
relatives, and a joy to all who passed the threshold. His maiden
sister Susan [6218] was at the head of his housekeeping till she
died. He died in 1861, aged 67. His brother John also lived
with him, and succeeded him in his homestead, as well as in in
telligence, culture, and benevolence.

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 679
Oct. 4, 1794; married, 1838, Chaelotte Billings, of Dorches
ter. She has a sister, Margaret Billings.
He was for many years a merchant in Boston, but a citizen of
Dorchester, the birth-place of his wife. His partner in business
was his cousin, George Richardson [6217], a son of William
Richardson; their place of business was Rowe's Wharf; they
owned three brigs, and traded with the West India Islands and
with Russia for coffee, hides, etc. ; were worthy and respected
merchants and men of the highest integrity.
He was found dead in his chamber, locked in, Nov. 7, 1874.
On the eleventh of that month the following paragraph appeared
in the Boston Daily Advertiser :
"Mr. William Richardson, who died at his residence on Savin
Hill, on Saturday, in the eightieth year of his age, was for many
years of the firm of George & William Richardson, on Rowe's
Wharf, engaged in commerce with the West Indies and in the
Russian trade. Retiring from active business in 1837, he passed
the remainder of his days in the congenial pursuits of horticul
ture, beloved and respected by his kindred and friends as a man
of sterling integrity and life-long benevolence."
He had no children.

of trade in the regulation and adjustment of the freights, etc., of
the great routes for trade between the east and the west, at the
opening of the railroads between those portions of the Union.
This, of course, required a man of eminent judgment and fore

*The following statement appeared in the Philadelphia Ledger in the spring

cluding the officers and crew, is at least two hundred and twenty ; on board
the Tayleur, wrecked in the Irish Channel, three hundred and seventy; on
board the Staffordshire, wrecked off Cape Sable, one hundred and eighty, and
on board the steamship San Prancisco, one hundred and thirty, making in
these disasters alone a grand total loss of nine hundred human lives. The
long delay of other vessels creates a strong fear that the above does not in
clude the whole number who have perished in the last few months."

four years ; after which he was a partner some years with Dea.
Levi Farwell in the sale of dry goods, crockery, and glass ware,
in Cambridge, near Boston. In 1820, impaired health induced
him to quit the store and betake himself to agriculture. After
passing a year at Fitchburg, on the farm which had been his
father's, he concluded to try merchandize again. He went to
Boston, and took a store for the site of dry goods in what was
then Market Street, now Cornhill. Ue remained there about two
years. His wife having died, his own health not being good, and
his mother needing his help, he returned to the farm in Fitch
burg, and for the last fifty years has been a farmer.
His farm, the " Old Cowdin farm," being situated near the rail
road depot in Fitchburg, became, after the construction of the
western railroad, extremely valuable, and has been mostly dis
posed of for dwellings and business purposes.
He is now, 1874, eighty-three years of age, and has furnished

Hon. Geoege Caetee Richaedson7 (Thomas? Luke? James?
James? Nathaniel? Thomas1), brother of the preceding, and
son of Dr. Thomas 6 and Jane (Brown) Richardson ; born in Roy
alston, Mass., April 27, 1808 ; married, first, Susan Goee Mooee,
of Cambridge, Feb. 2, 1832. She was a daughter of Abel Moore,
of Boston, and granddaughter of Jonathan Hunnewell, of Rox
bury. She died Nov. 18, 1845, at the age of thirty-four. Second,
Nov. 5, 1850, Ellen Geegoey, of Guilford, Vt., daughter of
Stephen Gregory.
He commenced his mercantile life in his native town of Royal
ston at the age of fifteen, in the store of General Franklin Greg
ory, which supplied a population within a circle of twenty or
thirty miles radius, with all kinds of merchandize usually found in
a large country store, the population being almost entirely engag
ed in agricultural pursuits ; the only exception being a woolen
mill owned and operated by the late Rufus Bullock, father of Ex-
Governor Alexander H. Bullock. It was necessary frequently to
visit Boston for the purchase of goods, and for the sale of such
articles of country produce, taken in exchange, as had accumulated.
Duties of this nature soon devolved upon him, even at the age
of eighteen ; and these visits were the means of an extensive
business acquaintance with the leading mercantile houses and
banks. At the age of twenty-two, or in 1830, he became' a part
ner with Mr. Gregory, and this partnership continued five years.
In 1835, he established himself in Boston, in the general dry
goods jobbing business in connection with Henry Earle, the firm
being Richardson & Earle, which firm existed less than two years,
being dissolved in 1837. The following year he formed a con
nection with George D. Dutton, who had been associated during
the five years previous with Daniel Denny, under the style of
Daniel Denny & Co.
The firm now substituted under the name of Dutton & Richard
son, afterwards Dutton, Richardson & Co., conducted a prosperous
and increasing business for seventeen years, up to 1855, importing
foreign goods from England, France, and Germany. Mr. Rich-
hardson visited Europe for the purchase of merchandize for the
first time in 1846.
After a short business connection with the late James M. Beebe,
under the firm name of James M. Beebe, Richardson & Co., in
1855 and 1856, he succeeded on the first of January, 1857, the
late Robert Waterston, the senior partner of the long established
and well-known house of Waterston, Pray & Co., afterwards
Waterston, Deane & Co., and associated himself with Charles
Deane and E. Baker Welch, under the style of Richardson, Deane
&Co. His connection with Mr. Deane continued about eight years,
or until 1864, when the firm became George C. Richardson & Co.,
and from that time forward has continued under that name, pur
suing the dry goods commission business, and representing various
cotton and woolen mills.

686 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
The most important change in his business life occurred in
1865, when, without any personal effort, or special effort on the
part of friends, nearly the entire business of the firm of A. & A.
Lawrence* & Co., amounting to nearly ten millions of dollars
annually, was transferred to his house, making the house of George
C. Richardson & Co., practically the successors of A. & A. Law
rence & Co., as agents for the Lowell and other important mills.
The firm is very widely known, and the confidence reposed in
it throughout the country is unlimited. It is the selling agency,
both in Boston and New York, having large establishments in
both places for the following extensive manufacturing companies:
The Lowell Manufacturing Company, making carpets and the
like tissues.
The Everett Mills, making tickings, denims, cottonades, flan
nels, etc.
The Boott Cotton Mills, making various kinds of cotton goods.
The Lawrence Manufacturing Co., making all sorts of brown
and bleached cottons.
The York Manufacturing Co., making cottonades, ticks, denims,
dress goods, nankins.
The Lewiston Mills, making cottonades, tickings, denims, shirt
ings, stripes, twines.
The Suffolk Manufacturing Co., making drillings, jeans, brown
and bleached cottons.
The Tremont Mills, making Canton flannels, sheetings and shirt
ings of all sorts.
The Massachusetts Cotton Mills, making sheetings, flannels,
drills. The Diamond Mills, making twilled flannels.
The Granite State Mills.
Allen's Print Works.
Their business, therefore, is very extensive and lucrative. They
export largely of our manufactures to most foreign countries. .
Soon after commencing his business in Boston, or in 1835, Mr.
Richardson resided at Cambridge, where he remained till 1866,
when he removed to Boston, his present residence. He was may-

married, in Portland, Nov. 12, 1832, Meecy Owen, daughter of
John and Mercy Owen, who was born there, Feb. 25, 1810.
After leaving school, he served a part' of his time in a store
and part with his father, who was cashier of the Bank of Port
land. He was but twenty-two years of age when he was himself
elected cashier of the Commercial Bank, of Bangor, on its open
ing for, business in July, 1831. At the age of twenty-six, Octo
ber, 1835, he was elected cashier of the Bank of Portland, made

POSTEEITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 695
vacant on account of the failing health of his father, and removed
to that city. There he remained till 1842, when he came to Cam
bridge, and went into business with his brother-in-law, John
Owen, publisher and bookseller to the university. In 1847, he
became private secretary to Hon. Samuel Atkins Eliot, who was
then treasurer of the college. In 1853, Mr. Eliot resigned that
position, and Mr. Richardson was elected cashier of the City
Bank, then recently chartered at Cambridgeport. Of this insti
tution he continued to be the cashier till the day of his death.
While his father was an earnest, stiff, close-communion Baptist,
and deacon of a Baptist Church, he himself was a zealous Unita
rian ; but the mutual love of father and son suffered no interrup
tion. The father, for many of the last years of his life, was a
paralytic, yet preserving his mental powers to the end ; honored,
loved, and cared for by his son, under whose roof he spent his
latter days, while the father manifested unbounded satisfaction in
the dutiful behavior of his offspring.
In all the relations of life in which he was placed he was found
faithful and wise, and his memory will long be cherished by sur
vivors. His death, which was somewhat sudden, was accounted
a public loss. Only a few weeks was he confined to his house,
and few knew of his illness till they were informed of his death.
He died in Cambridge, Feb. 20, 1876, at the age of 67. His
widow survives him. Their children were,

They lived in Fitchburg from 1851 to 1858, and then removed
to Cleveland, Ohio. While living there the war broke out, and
at the first call for meo Mr. Clark enlisted as a private in the
three months' service. Having been educated in a military
school at Norwich, Vt., he knew something of tactics, and was at
the time appointed as major of the Twenty-ninth Regiment of

Majoe Geneeal Iseael Bush Richaedson8 (Israel P.} Isra

of Hon. Israel Putnam Richardson;7 born in Fairfax, Vt., Dec.
26, 1815 ; married, first, when Major Richardson was at El Paso,
New Mexico, Aug. 3, 1850, Rita Stevenson,. a daughter ofa
wealthy merchant of that name in El Paso, of whom Kendall
speaks in his narrative ofthe Santa Fe expedition. Second, May,
1861, Fannie Teavoe, at Detroit, Mich. Her parents died in
her childhood.
At four years of age he commenced his education at the acade
my in St. Alban's Vt., and continued at school in Georgia and
Burlington, Vt., until in 1836 he received an appointment as a
cadet in the military academy at West Point, through the influ
ence of Hon. Heman All^n, of Colchester, and Hon. Heman Al
len, of Milton, Vt., both being old friends of his father. On the
30th of June, 1841, he graduated, the thirty-eighth in his class,
and immediately received a commission in the army of the
United States as second lieutenant in the Third Regiment of In
fantry. He proceeded to Florida, where he remained until the
conclusion of the Seminole war.
Upon the termination of that war, he was ordered to Jefferson
Barracks, Missouri ; then to Fort Jessup, Louisiana, where he re
mained until the troops were removed to Corpus Christi, and
remained there under Gen. Taylor until, at the outbreak of the
Mexican war, the army was ordered to advance to the Rio
Grande. Shortly before this, he was promoted to first lieutenant,
to date from Sept. 21, 1846. He served during the Mexican war,
gaining a brevet as captain from Aug. 20, 1847, for gallant and
meritorious conduct at Churubusco and Contreras, and a further
brevet of major from Sept. 13, 1847, for similar good conduct at
Chapultepec. He was engaged in the first battle at Palo Alto, on the 8th of
May, and in the battle of Resaca de la Palma, on the 9th of May.
The Mexican army then retreated, and he was at the taking of
Matamoras. The United States army then proceeded to the
strongly fortified city of Monterey, where he remained until the
surrender of the city. After that event, he went with the army
to Vera Cruz, and took part in the capture of that city under
Gen. Scott; then he proceeded to Cerro Gordo, and was one of
the storming party in the capture of that stronghold. He was in
the battles in the vicinity of the city of Mexico, as already inti
mated. At the close of the war he- returned with the army to
New Orleans, and thence proceeded to Pascagoula and San An
tonio de Bexar, in Texas.
Four or five years were now occupied in repelling attacks from
hostile Indians, in building forts, in constructing military roads,
one of which in New Mexico and Texas was five hundred miles
in length, and in constructing fortifications to defend the recent
acquisitions of territory. On the 30th of September, 1855, he

POSTERITY OF THOMAS RICHARDSON. 699
resigned his connection with the army, and removed with the
family of his aged father, who then needed his help, to Pontiac,
in Michigan.
When the rebellion broke out, April, 1861, Major Richardson
offered his services, which were gladly accepted. He organized
the Second Regiment of Michigan Volunteers, of which he was
made colonel, April 25, 1861. He was also made a brigadier
general of volunteers, to date from May 17, 1861. Finally, he
was made a major general, to date from July 4, 1862.
He was in nearly all the important battles of the Mexican war,
and in the war of the Rebellion down to the time of receiving
his fatal wound. He was known in the army by the sobriquet of
"Fighting Dick." In battle his appearance was magnificent. He
was of massive frame, of firm demeanor, of quiet manners, and
unpretentious address.
He had the command of a brigade at the encounter at Black
burn's Ford, July 18, 1861, and at the first battle of Bull Run,
three clays after. In the latter engagement, which lasted from
half-past ten till three o'clock, the advantage lay with the Union
troops until a portion of the latter, seeing a powerful reinforce
ment coming to the assistance of the rebels, were seized with a
panic, and left the field in the utmost confusion. General Rich
ardson, however, riding through the storm of battle, succeeded in
rallying his own brigade and brought them off in good order.
His good conduct elicited high admiration from those who wit
nessed it. When the Union forces were organized in front of
Washington as the army of the Potomac, he was placed in com
mand of a division in the corps of Gen. Edwin Vose Sumner.
This was in July, 1862.
He was in the battle of Fair Oaks, nine miles from Richmond,
May 31, 1862, when forty-eight thousand rebels, under Hill, and
Longstreet, and Johnston, were repulsed by half that number of
the Union troops, under Couch, Kearney, and Sumner. The
corps of Sumner, by their opportune arrival on the field, saved
the day, and perhaps saved the country.
He took part in the second battle of Bull Run, August 29,
1862. This was one of the severest battles of the war, the
Union loss being six thousand killed and wounded, while that of
the rebels was still heavier.*
In the hope of detaching Maryland from her sister states of the
North, and securing her for the rebellion, the rebel general, Lee,
before the battle of Bull Run was fully over, moved the main
body of his army towards the Potomac, which river he crossed
within three or four days after, and on the 6th of September had
possession of Frederick, the second city of Maryland. He was
followed by the Union army under Generals Hooker, Burnside,
* The statement here made that Gen. Richardson was in the second battle of
Bull Eun is derived from one of the magazines; but it is probably a mistake.
Richardson had a brigade in Sumner's corps, and Sumner's corps was not in
that battle. It joined the army of Virginia under Pope, at Centreville, on the
1st of September, two days afterwards.

Reno, Sedgwick, Mansfield, Meade, Howard, Slocum, and Sum
ner with McLellan as the general-in-chief. A brilliant victory
was gained over the rebels at South Mountain, September 14,
in which General Richardson commanded a division. On the fol
lowing day his division led the advance of the Union troops in
their pursuit ofthe retreating enemy. On the 17th of September,
1862, the two armies met on the right bank of the Antietam
River, which meets the Potomac a few miles above Harper's Ferry.
The battle of Antietam commenced at day-break, and continued
till the sun went down. For many hours both sides stood immov
able as the trees ofthe forest. One hundred and seventy thousand
men, nearly equally divided in number between the two contend
ing armies, took part in the fierce strife. The carnage on both
sides was fearful. Some of our best generals received mortal
wounds. Hooker, Mansfield, Doubleday, Rodman, and Richard
son were wounded, three of them mortally. The rebel loss was
equally severe. Their ablest generals, Hill, Longstreet, Stone
wall Jackson, and Lee were there.
The Union loss was, killed, 2010; wounded, 9,416; missing,
1,043 ; total, 12,069. Our troops found 3,000 rebels left dead on
the field, besides 500 fresh graves made by the rebels themselves.
Reckoning the killed, wounded and prisoners in this battle and
at South Mountain three days previous, the rebels lost at least
THIETY THOUSAND MEN.
Sumner's corps, as we have said, was engaged in this well-con
tested battle ; of this corps Richardson led the left wing. This
corps was in the very hottest of the battle. In this battle, when
stemming the tide of threatened disaster, he was wounded by a
shell, borne from the field, and died at Sharpsburg, very near the
ensanguined plain, Nov. 3, 1862, at 7 o'clock, p. m. He was a
great loss to the Union cause.
The following notice of Gen. Richardson appeared in the Phila
delphia Press and in the Burlington (Vt.) Free Press, not long
after his death. It was written by his intimate personal friend,
Dr. J. H. Taylor, a brother of Bayard Taylor, a surgeon in Gen.
Richardson's division :
Among the many eulogies to the memory of the late Maj. Gen.
Richardson, few, if any, have paid tribute to his sterling qualities
as a man. The world acknowledges the hero, and history will do
honor to his fame ; but only those who knew him as a man, and
had learned to love him can appreciate his noble character.
He possessed the kindest heart and the most unselfish nature,
ever careful and considerate where others were concerned ; yet as
guileless as a child. His intellect was clear, vigorous and compre
hensive, and his perceptions so intuitive as almost to appear pro
phetic. Possessing a singleness of purpose in the conscientious discharge
of every duty, he despised sophistry and duplicity in all their
forms, and went straight to his work with a firm and honest
heart. He was earnest in all he undertook, and integrity was so
strongly marked in every act, that faith in the man was irresist-

ible. Impartial and just in his conclusions, lenient in his judg
ments, firm in the right, and unswerving in his duty, he impressed
his manhood upon you. The most humble could approach him,
sure of an attentive hearing and a sincere interest in their wants ;
and the affectionate respect with which he was regarded by every
soldier in his division is an evidence of his considerate care for
their welfare.
They all felt and appreciated the true nobility and grandeur of
his character. Despising all vain pretensions, pomp and show, he
recognized greatness only by its worth. With manly independ
ence of thought and action, he was urbane and deferential to
honest difference of opinion, but fearless in the expression of his
own. The innate kindness of his heart made him tolerant and chari
table. He looked at the world through his own unselfish nature,
trusted to that integrity in others, which was but a counterpart of
himself. Life to him was earnest, and he felt as though it must be so to
all; thus his trust and confidence in human nature. The qualities
that made up the man adorned the soldier, they were one and in
separable; in that his greatness consisted. He carried his man
hood ever with him, and lived out the honest promptings of his
heart. No one could be in daily intercourse with him and not
feel his worth. Frank, cordial, and genial, and unpretending,
where he trusted, he confided.
A close observer of men and events, a concise reasoner, pos
sessed of a wonderful memory, and an analytical mind, his conclu
sions were carefully and accurately drawn. In council, as in the
field, he was ever the same fearless, independent man, conscious
of the right, and steadfast in its maintenance. His character was
marked by strong contrasts, but the same generous impulses
prompted every act, whether by the family hearth or on the
tented field. It is in accordance with perfect manhood that it
should be so.
Forgetfulness of self pervaded his life. At home, the dutiful
son, the devoted husband, the affectionate brother, and kind
friend; thoughtful and ever mindful of those he loved, guarding
them with jealous care and tender solicitude.
But as he was kind and gentle in retirement, so was he stern
and invincible in war ; and, as he had lived for others, so did he
die. His children were,

THE ATTLEBOROUGH RICHARDSONS. 705

THE ATTLEBOROUGH RICHARDSONS
AND THEIR DESCENDANTS.

In the former part of this volume, especially on pp. 239, 298,
299, 405, 406, statements occur which are incorrect and more
which are imperfect. I have given them a careful revision, and
by the help of records supplied to me by Mr. Nathan H. Rich
ardson, of Fitchburg, have made the needed corrections in the
pages which follow.
Tbere was an emigration from Woburn and Stoneham to At
tleborough between the years 1710 and 1720. Among those who
removed were four brothers, sons of Stephen Richardson, viz. :
William Richardson [1589], Francis Richardson [1590], Timothy
Richardson [1594], Seth Richardson [1595], and their nephew,
Jonas Richardson [1754].
One of these brothers, William, married Rebecca Vinton ; they
had a son, John Richardson, named for his mother's brother and
her father, both bearing the name of John Vinton.
John Richardson4 [1761], just named, was born in Attlebor
ough, Nov. 27, 1719. He married Elizabeth Wilmarth, April 19,
1742. Their children were :
7036. Lucy,5 b. Dec. 5, 1742.
+7037. John,5b. May 24, 1744; m. Ruth Woodcock [2135 b]. For his
family, see p. 298.
+7038. Wyman,5 b. May 13, 1746; m. Ruth Lane [2135 c]. For his
family, see p. 299.
7039. Betsey,5 b. April 4, 1748.
7040. Joel,5 b. Oct. 10, 1750; m. Sarah Wyman [2135 e]. For his fam
ily, see p. 299.
7041. Henry,5 b. Aug. 7, 1752; m. Olive Blackinton [2135 f]. For his
family, see p. 300.
The errors in the former part compel a renumbering.
7037.
The children of John 5 and Ruth (Woodcock) Richardson,
apparently all born in Attleborough, were :
7042. John,6 b. Sept. 6, 1769; m. Patty Everett [2805]. For his fami

He removed with his parents from Attleborough to Swanzey,
N. II., in October, 1779. He learned the trade of blacksmith
from his father, who was both blacksmith and cooper. He was a
man of good parts ; was fond of argument. In the country
school-house, at a meeting of the lyceum, there were not unfre-
quent debates between him and the school-master, in which, if
not always victorious, he well maintained his part. He was a
strictly honest man, contending for the right when truth and jus
tice were concerned.
Deliverance, his wife, was the third daughter of Elder Nathan
iel Bolles, who was born in Rochester, Mass., March 2, 1758, and
removed with his uncle, Jonathan Bolles, from Rochester to Rich
mond, N. H., in 1773. He (Wyman) was a man of energy and
endurance, and used to travel on foot, and sometimes on snow-
shoes, once a year, from Richmond to his old home, until his pa
rents, David and Lydia, moved to Richmond, in 1783.
Deliverance was a woman of great activity and vigor, a good
mother, genial, her conversation sparkling with wit. She retained
her physical elasticity and mental vivacity to the age of eighty-
eight. Wyman Richardson " died at Swanzey, N. H., Feb. 26, 1868,
aged 90. Deliverance, his wife, died there, Aug. 11, 1870.

was in all the engagements of the Second Regiment in Virginia,
Maryland, and Pennsylvania, particularly those at Jackson, Va.,
Front Royal, Winchester, Cedar Mountain, Antietam, Fredericks
burg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg; went with his regiment
in 1863 to Tennessee, and re-enlisted in January, 1864; returned
to his regiment after a furlough of fifty days, and went with it in

After the capture of the city last named, went under General
Sherman in his memorable march through Georgia, and took
part in the capture of Savannah, and went through both the Car
olinas. After the surrender of Johnston's army, he returned to
Washington with the regiment and received hit. discharge July
27, 1865, having served four years and three months. This man
has the honor of having been one of the two men from Athol
who accompanied Sherman in his great march to th i sea, and the
only one who returned to Athol. The only wound he received
during this extraordinary service was the loss of one finger from
the accidental discharge of his own gun !

7121.
Among the early inhabitants of Watertown, Mass., were two
men, bearing the names, respectively, of Geoege Richaedson, and
of John Richaedson* Not improbably, they wore brothers. Of
this, however, there is no proof, save what may arise from their
residence, for a short time, on the same territory. George Rich
ardson embarked for New England at London, in the ship Susan
and Ellen, April 15, 1635, being then thirty years of age. He
doubtless arrived in July, 1635. Of the coming of John Rich
ardson, nothing is distinctly recorded.
We find them both at Watertown the year following. John
Richardson had a grant of one acre of land, 1636-7, in the Beaver
Brook Plowlands, within the present town of Waltham. George
Richardson was a grantee of twenty-five acres in the Great Divi
dends, so called, in 1636 ; a name applied to four ranges or divis
ions of land in the north part of what is now Waltham, and
bordering on the present town of Lexington, then known as " Cam
bridge Farms." The Great Dividends belonged, in severalty, to
one hundred and twenty different owners, of whom George Rich
ardson was one. The Beaver Brook Plowlands were one hundred
and six in number, one acre to each person, and were immediately
south ofthe Great Dividends, and in the vicinity of Beaver Brook.
They consisted partly of meadow, and partly of upland. They
were mostly on Waltham Plain, and were bounded on the south
by Charles River.
. George Richardson, in 1642, had also a grant of a farm of thirty-
nine acres. He also at one time was proprietor of a tract of
twelve acres, which, in 1630 had been granted to Elder Richard
Browne.f Emigration from Watertown began at a very early date. The
first emigration was to Connecticut River. In May, 1635, several
of the inhabitants of Watertown were dismissed from the church,
and had leave from the General Court to remove to that river,
provided they remained under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts.

t Bond's Watertown Genealogies, pp. 1013, 1022.

714 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
A number removed that year, and the year following, and laid the
foundations of Wethersfield.
The next emigration was to Dedham, which, until 1711, joined
Watertown, though Dover, Needham, and Weston now lie be
tween. Measures preparatory to this emigration were taken in
the autumn of 1635, and Dedham was incorporated as a town
Sept. 8, 1636. A very considerable part of the founders of Ded
ham went from Watertown.
Other emigrations followed to Sudbury, Lancaster, Groton, and
other towns.
We do not find George Richardson in Watertown after 1643,
when he sold his twelve acre lot to John Train, who came over
from England with him in 1635 in the same vessel, the Susan
Ellen, then being twenty-five years of age. Neither his name,
nor that of John Richardson, is found after this time, in a care
fully kept list of freemen. Besides this negative evidence, there
is ample proof, from the document, of which an abstract now fol
lows, that in the year 1644, he had left Watertown.
Sept. 28, 1644. George Hawkins, of Boston, by virtue of a
power of attorney from George Richardson, sold for forty pounds
the farm of the said George Richardson, containing two hundred
acres near the head of Bass River, late the possession of Peter
Palfrey. It is almost certain that George Richardson, about the ; year
1643, and not later than 1644, left Watertown for Farmington,
Ct., to which settlers from Watertown had already gone. He
probably settled in what is now Waterbury. If I mistake not,
he has descendants there at the present time.
But what became of John Richardson ?
A man named John Richardson witnessed a title deed in Exe
ter, in 1642. But the name did not continue in Exeter; and, in
deed, is not again found in Exeter or its vicinity, until after the
lapse of several scores of years ; we may, therefore, safely con
clude that he is identical with John Richardson, oi Watertown,
who must have left that place not long before. The name, now
so common, was then but little known ; and so there is less liabil
ity to mistake.
It seems probable that John Richardson was to some extent
implicated in the Antinomian controversy of 1637. We know
that such was the fact in the case of Ezekiel Richardson. If this
were soin the case of our John Richardson, it would account for
his leaving Watertown that very year, 1637, as, it seems, some
left Boston that winter to get out of trouble. If our John Rich
ardson, an ardent, impulsive, indiscreet young man, were a favorer
of Wheelwright, nothing is more likely than that he should follow
him to Exeter. Mr. Wheelwright having purchased of the In
dians a tract of land thirty miles square, went thither by water
in the winter of 1637-8, and founded the town of Exeter. Ap
prehensive that Exeter, a majority of its citizens desiring it, was
about to come under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, whose
charter included it, Mr. Wheelwright, in April, 1643, purchased of

POSTERITY OF JOHN RICHARDSON OF MEDFIELD. 715
Thomas Gorges, cousin and deputy of Sir Ferdinando Gorges,
four or five hundred acres of land, at Webhannet, afterwards
known as Wells, in Maine, and removed thither the same year.
Here they and others formed a church, of which he was chosen
pastor* It is highly probable that our John Richardson was one
of them.
Mr. James Savage finds a man named John Richardson in Exe
ter, 1642, with a wife Hannah Tryer, or rather Truair. We hear
nothing of him afterwards. But we find a man of that name in
Wells, in 1673, a young man too, who, it seems to the compiler,
must have been his son, born somewhat about 1645 or 1650.
Mr. Horatio Slocomb, of Sutton, Mass., a son of William and
Jerusha (Richardson) Slocomb, and a descendant of John Rich
ardson, of Medfield, 1679, visited Dedham and Wrentham about
1840, to make inquiries respecting his mother's ancestry. The
information he received convinced him that her first ancestor in
this country was John Richardson ; that he came from England
about 1640; that he settled in that part of Dedham, which in
1651 became Medfield ; that he had a son of the same name, and
also a grandson in that town.
The compiler, therefore, cannot avoid the conviction that John
Richaedson, whom we find in Watertown in 1635-6, is the pro
genitor of that branch of the Richardson family which we may
for shortness designate as the Medfield Richaedsons. In other
words, he was the father of that John Richardson who in 1679
married Rebecca Clark, in that town, and whose posterity have
been doing so worthily in many parts of our land. In my mind
it amounts to a reductio ad absurdum. While there is no direct,
positive proof of the fact, any other supposition seems impossible.
We have no notice of the first Medfield Richardson till 1679,
when he was evidently a young man, less than thirty years of
age; born, therefore, about 1645 or 1650. The almost invariable
custom in those days was that the eldest son bear the name of
the father. The father of John, the first Medfield Richardson, in
all probability was himself named John. John Richardson, of
Watertown, must have been a young man in 1640. Possibly
he was identical with that John Richardson who, at the age of
eighteen, embarked at London, in the ship Assurance, for Vir
ginia, in July, 1635, and embarking for Virginia, when he intended
to go to Massachusetts, as was not seldom the case.f His having

t Emigration to New England was at first encouraged by the king and his
servile ministry, doubtless with a view of getting rid of the men who could
not rest under the proceedings of an arbitrary government. But in 1634 the
royal government resolved to deprive New England of its chartered rights, to
send a royal governor to that country, and as far as possible to stop the emi
gration to the American strand. Repeated attempts were made to check this
emigration. In March, 1638, an order in council was passed to detain eight
^Ps then in the.Thames, fuU of passengers, bound to New England; and on
toe 6th of April, in the same year, an order m council was passed that no per
son should be allowed to go to New England without a license. In conse
quence of this order; many persons embarked ostensibly for Virginia, but
i-v ,* Massachusetts. It is at least conceivable that John Richardson in
tne text may have come in that way, as, it is certain, many did.

716 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
a grant of only one acre of land in Watertown favors the idea of
his being then unmarried, and his sudden disappearance from
Watertown corresponds with this supposition. We have no rec
ord of his marriage, for the simple reason that after the departure
of Sir Richard Saltonstall, in the spring of 1631, there was no per
son in Watertown authorized to solemnize marriages till Novem
ber, 1646, and our John Richardson had left Watertown long
before. Watertown people, during those fifteen years, must go
out of town to be married, marriage being regarded as a civil or
dinance. There is a tradition among the Medfield Richardsons that their
ancestor came from Concord. As Concord and Watertown were
then contiguous, the latter, indeed, overleaping the former, this
tradition, so far as it is worth anything, sustains the view already
taken. But that he was a son of Samuel Richardson, of Wo
burn, as another tradition supposes, or any other Woburn man,
or of either of the Newbury or Connecticut Richardsons, is sim
ply impossible.
Nor is it at all likely that the father of John Richardson came
from England after 1642, for after the year 1642 till 1662 many
more people went back to England than came from it to this
country. Further confirmation of the theory now suggested arises from
the fact that Joseph and Benjamin Richardson, sons of John,
who was married to Rebecca Clark in 1679, owned a tract of
land in Wells, formerly granted to John Richardson, and in 1751
sent Joseph, their nephew, to Wells to dispose of it.

7122.

John Richaedson,2 the first ofthe name whom we find on
the Medfield records, first appears in a notice of his marriage.
At Medfield, on the first day of May, 1679, before Ralph AVhee-
lock, a magistrate, as was then the custom, he was married to
Rebekah Claek, born in Medfield, Aug. 16, 1660, youngest
daughter of Joseph and Alice Clark, who were early settlers of
that part of Dedham which in 1651 was incorporated as the town
of Medfield. Its Indian name was Boggastow, a name still borne
by a pond there and brook. Joseph Clark, of Medfield, took the
freeman's oath May 18, 1653, and died in 1684.
As there is no indication of any earlier marriage, and as his
wife was at marriage under the age of nineteen, we may assume
that in 1679 he was not more than thirty years of age, and born
1645, or about 1650.

POSTERITY OF JOHN RICHARDSON OF MEDFIELD. 717
The names of Clark, Adams, Chenery, Partridge, Plimpton,
Morse occur frequently on the Medfield records about that time
and previously ; the name of Richardson never till 1679, as above
stated. And it is a significant circumstance that not long before
."Philip's war" all the citizens of that town, in common with
those of the other towns of the colony, contributed money, corn,
or wheat, "toward the building ofthe new Collidg at Cambridg,"
and that among the seventy-five names of Medfield men thus re
corded in the Geneal. Register, vol. x. pp. 49-50, we find no
Richardson. We do not know the exact date of this contribu
tion. It must have been previous to Philip's war, and not long
previous, for several of the contributors, we are told, have " since
been burned out by the Endians." The contribution was for
warded April 15, 1678, and the total amount was only five
pounds, an indication of the poverty of the inhabitants at that
time. In October, 1664, the liberties of the colony being threatened
by the encroachments of the British ministry, the inhabitants of
Medfield united in a memorial to the General Court, in testimony
of their "unanimous satisfaction in adheringe to the present Gov
ernment, and [their] earnest desire for the continuance thereof,
and all the Liberties perteininge thereunto," as granted by royal
charter of Kings James and Charles. Forty names are signed to
this memorial, among whom is no Richardson. [Geneal. Regis
ter, xiii. 346.]
It is therefore nearly certain that previous to the year 1678
no man of the name resided in Medfield. And as confirm
ing this view, we find a grant of land in Wells, Me., dated June
20, 1673, to John Richardson, who could be no other than the
person of that name found six years after in Medfield. In ex
planation of these facts, it may be safe to assume that our John
Richardson, of Medfield, even if born in Dedham, may have been
absent most of the time previous to his marriage in quest of a
settlement either in New Hampshire or Maine, and being disap
pointed in his hopes elsewhere returned to Dedham or Medfield.
The times were troublesome, and after the restoration of Charles
II everything, even land titles, in this country was put to hazard.
The royal commissioners were in New England from July, 1664,
and during the year following did their utmost to subvert the lib
erties of the colonies. Not long after, the heirs of Mason and
Gorges were urging their. claims on the territory of New Hamp
shire and Maine. It is not strange, therefore, that John Rich
ardson found himself greatly embarrassed in his endeavors to
obtain a peaceful abode in the provinces just named.
Medfield, in 1657, six years after its incorporation, had forty
families, and an excellent minister, Rev. John Wilson, son of
Rev. John Wilson, many years pastor of First Church in Boston.
Medfield was attacked by the Indians, in large force, at day
break, Feb. 21, 1675-6. It is supposed the attack was made by
five hundred Indians. About fifty buildings and two mills were
destroyed, twenty people were killed, and half the town laid in

718 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
ashes. One of the persons killed was Henry Adams, the eldest
son of Henry Adams, of Braintree. [See Barry's Hist, of Mass.,
i. 434.] John Richardson, wherever he was at the time, waited till the
Indian hostilities had ceased and peace was established before
he came to Medfield. He was, without any doubt, in Maine
during Philip's war. On the death of Philip, in August, 1676,
the war ceased in Massachusetts and Plymouth colonies; but it
continued to rage with great violence in Maine nearly a year
longer. Wells, York, and Scarborough felt the horrors of In
dian barbarity in April and May, 1677. Before that time, no
doubt, the safety of John Richardson was assured in Medfield.
He now made his home, after many years of wandering, in, or
very near, the present village of East Medway, which until 1713
was included in the town of Medfield. Henry Richardson, one
of his descendants, still owns and occupies, 1869, the place. [See
7314.] He was by trade a cordwainer, but cultivated a small farm, of
less than fifty acres. He was a church member, but when he be
came so does not appear. We only know that he was a member
of the church in Medfield April 21, 1697, when Mr. Joseph Bax
ter was ordained pastor. His wife Bebecca was also a member
at the same time, but no other Richardson than these two.
He died in Medfield, or what was then Medfield, May 29, 1697.
He was probably not much, if any, over fifty years old at that
time, especially as a child was born to him only three months be
fore. No will of his is found on record. He possessed but little
property. The inventory of his estate, dated Feb. 22, 1699-1700,
includes only a homestead of twenty-six acres, with orchard and
buildings, valued at £30 ; eight acres of meadow near Boggastow
Brook (which discharges its waters into Charles River), and ten
acres of upland and swamp near Bear Hill.
Powerof administration was granted to the widow Rebecca
July 18, 1700.
The value of the real estate was estimated at £46. The inven
tory included three cows, one calf) one mare and colt, three swine.
The personal estate is valued at £27. 10. more. Total, £73. 10.
Only two chairs are included in the inventory, doubtless used
only by the parents. The children were contented with home
made stools and a settle, i. e., a plain, wooden bench with a
straight, upright back. [Suffolk Prob. Rec, xiv. 186.]
Small as the estate was, it was not settled without some diffi
culty and delay. The second son, Daniel, in 1705, petitioned for
an adjustment. It was not finally settled till June 4, 1711, when
it was divided between the widow, Rebecca Hill (formerly Rich
ardson), and the children, Joseph, Benjamin, and Rebecca. [Suf
folk Prob. Rec, xvii. 270.]
The widow Rebecca married John Hill, of Sherborn, an
adjoining town, and died Feb. 17, 1738-9, aged 79.

June 20, 1673, lying and being between the lot of John Driscow
and Nathaniel Cloyes, his lot containing eleven poles in breadth,

Joseph Richardson, of Medfield, and Benjamin Richardson, of

was Thomas Breck. One of the others was Henry Adams, who
came in 1650 and was killed by the Indians at his own door early
on the morning of Feb. 21, 1675-6, aged 72.
Medfield being exposed to Indian incursions, a fortification was
erected on the north bank of Boggastow Pond, by men bearing
the names of Bullard, Breck, Hill, Holbrook, Fairbank, Leland,
Rockwood, Daniels, and Daniels, nine in all, for the protection of
their families. It was built of stone, about seventy feet long, two
stories high, and could not easily be set on fire, though the In
dians attempted it. Repeatedly the savages attempted to take it,
but were repelled by its brave defenders, of whom the father of
Esther Breck was one. In after years she well remembered flee
ing to this fort for safety upon an Indian alarm, even fifty years
after Philip's war.

Like his father, John Richardson, her husband, was by trade a
cordwainer; but later in life became a farmer or husbandman.
He refused the real estate left by his father. It was accepted by
Daniel his brother. This appears from several deeds.
June 24, 1712. John Richardson, of Medfield, husbandman,
and Esther his wife, for good and valuable considerations, sell to
Samuel Fisher, of Wrentham, an adjoining town, one acre of land
in Wrentham. The wife makes her mark. His brother Daniel
is a witness. [Suffolk Deeds, lx. 282.]
On the spot where he lived, and probably in the same house, his
great grandson Henry, son of Simeon, was living in 1869. [See
7314]. He was also a carpenter or housewright.
Dec. 25, 1712. John Richardson, of Medfield, in the county of
Suffolk, carpenter, and Esther his wife, sell to Nathaniel Fair
banks, of Wrentham, husbandman, two parcels of meadow in
Wrentham. [Suffolk Deeds, xliv. 132.]
Oct. 4, 1742. John Richardson, of Medway, housewright, for
£200, sells to his son, Moses Richardson, of Medway, forty acres
of land in Medway, bounded partly on land of Solomon Richard
son. Solomon and Asa Richardson sign as witnesses. [Suffolk
Deeds, Ixxviii. 167.]
The above was reckoned in a depreciated currency worth less
than fifty cents on a dollar.
Of the twelve children recorded below, all save David 1st,
Mary, and Joseph were living at the settlement of their father's
estate, June 25, 1759.
John Richardson, of Wrentham, the part now Franklin, was
appointed administrator of his father's estate, Feb. 13, 1761.
I have before me an original "Agreement," dated June 25,
1759, whereby the following persons "being all the heirs and
representatives of John Richardson, late of Medway, deceased,
except the heirs of Joseph Richardson, agree to divide all the
movable estate that our honored father died possessed of as the
law prescribes, excepting Moses Richardson, who agrees to draw
no part." The signers were, John Richardson, Jonathan Rich
ardson, Samuel Richardson, Solomon Richardson, Moses Rich
ardson, Asa Richardson, David Richardson, Sarah Pond, David
Pond, Nathaniel Clark, Esther Clark, James Boyden, jr. The
sons signed in the order of their birth. David Richardson signs
"in behalf of his mother's heirs," which is not explained. His
mother was now eighty years of age, and the other brothers and
sisters were her heirs equally with himself. He was the young
est son ; another David older than himself had died before his
birth. Moses relinquished his claim to the property probably be
cause his interests had been cared for in some other way. Joseph
had died not long before.
He died in Medfield, i. e. in what is now East Medway, May
19, 1759, aged 80. His wife Esther died of cancer, Aug. 17,
1774, aged 95. This made her extremely irritable and trouble
some. Whether they were in full members of the church does

Lieut. Daniel Richaedson 3 (John? John x), brother of the
preceding; born in Medfield, orin what became Medway, August
31, 1685; married Hannah ITndeewood, baptized April 13,
1690. He lived in Medfield, according to the records of the church in
that town till 1723, and probably some years longer. He and his
wife "owned the covenant," as it was called, June 8, 1712, which
entitled them to the privilege of having their children baptized.
Their son William was baptized the same day. His wife was
"admitted to full communion" March 15, 1712-13. He (Daniel)
was admitted to full communion Oct. 13, 1723.
His wife Hannah was dismissed from the church in Medfield
and recommended to the church in Medway, June 28, 1747,
which probably was not long after the time of their removal to
that place.
Jan. 3, 1745-6. Daniel Richardson, of Medway, gent., for the
natural and parental love that I have and do bear to my loving
and well-beloved son, Daniel Richardson, junior, of said town,
conveys to him one-half of my dwelling-house, where my said
son now lives, with one-half of all my lands, etc., reserving cer
tain things during my natural life and the life of my wife, after
which my said son shall have and enjoy the other half. Part of
the land thus conveyed was bounded on land of John Richardson,.
brother of the grantee. [Suff. Deeds, lxxv. 265.]

that five of the above-named children, beginning with Samuel, though, doubt

in Medway, Samuel was the first male child on the Medway town records.

724 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
Our John Richardson 4 lived in the extreme north part of what
is now Franklin, twenty-seven miles from Boston. He was an
exceedingly active and capable man of business. He bought
and sold considerable property. He was by trade a house-wright
or carpenter.
June 4, 1724, when he was twenty-three years of age, his
father, for £60, bought for him fifty-four acres of wild land in the
westerly part of Wrentham, now the town of Franklin. It was
about one mile south of Charles River, and now constitutes a
part of the Stephen Richardson farm in Franklin. [See 7276.]
John Richardson and his wife Jemima were church members
from an early age. When the church in the west precinct of
Wrentham, now Franklin, was formed, Feb. 27, 1738, they with
forty others were dismissed from the church at Wrentham Cen
tre to form it. The church in Wrentham Centre was six miles
from their home.* He was of Wrentham Nov. 23, 1759, when
appointed guardian of Thankful and Benjamin, his brother Jo
seph's children.
He died in Franklin, or what afterwards became Franklin, Nov.
5, 1767, aged 66. His widow Jemima died Dec. 26, 1782, aged
77 ; gravestone says 79. Their children were :
+7164. Timothy,6 b. July 31, 1731; m. first, Mehitabel  ; second,

Claek, July 4, 1728. She was daughter of Samuel and Ruth
Clark, of Concord.
He resided in Medway. In 1771, he was of Brookfield. His
will is dated Sept. 11, 1779; proved Oct. 26, 1796.

* Carriages were almost wholly unknown in those days, even down to fifty
years after their death. They used to go to meeting on horseback, through the
woods, the same horse carrying father and mother and perhaps two children,
others of the fapiily going on foot. Horse-blocks for the women to mount
stood near all the dwellings, and a large number near the church.

Joseph Richaedson4 (John? John? John1), brother ofthe
preceding; born in Medfield, the part now Medway, April 3, 1711 ;
married Abigail  .
He was a housewright, or carpenter; lived in Medway, and
about 1753 removed to Uxbridge. He sold a lot of land in Wells,
Me., in 1751, which had been granted to his grandfather, John
Richardson, June 20, 1673. [See page 717.]
He died before the settlement of his father's estate in 1759.
After his death, his widow, May 12, 1760, became the wife of
Joseph Draper, of Dedham. At her second marriage, May, 1760,
she was of Sherborn.

7137.
Samuel Richaedson4 (John? John? John1), brother ofthe
preceding; born in Medfield, or rather in Medway, Jan. 3, 1713-
14; married, first, April 2, 1734, Maet Allen, of Medfield ; sec
ond, before 1742, Saeah Claek, daughter of Aaron Clark, of
Wrentham. He was the first male child recorded on Medway records ; Med
way having been incorporated Oct. 24, 1713. It is probable,
however, that no removal of his father's family had occurred.
He was a husbandman. He and his wife " owned the cove
nant " in Medfield, Nov. 2, 1735. This was a common practice
soon after the marriage of young people of fair character, as it

gave them a right to present their children for baptism. Accord
ingly Sybil and Olive, children of Samuel and Mary, were bap
tized in Medfield soon after birth ; Sybil on the day just men
tioned; Olive, Sept. 11, 1737. The two older children had died
before the parents entered into this covenant and so their bap
tism was omitted.*
Samuel Richardson resided in Wrentham, though attending
church in Medfield. The Indian name of Wrentham was Wolo-
mopogge. After 1738 the births of his children were recorded in
Medway, and probably their baptisms also.
I find the following documents on record in Boston.
April 6, 1730. Samuel Richardson, of Wrentham, husband
man, for £250, sells to John Bennett, of Attleborough, two parcels
of land in Wrentham, one parcel containing half an acre onwhich
my dwelling-house and barn now standeth, on the north side of
the by-road leading from Boston to Bristol ; the other parcel con
tains twenty-seven and one-half acres, bounded by said road
northward. [Suffolk Deeds, xlvi. 235.]
To this deed, Samuel Richardson made his mark ! No wife
joins in the conveyance, for he was but sixteen, and not yet mar
ried. These two parcels were on opposite sides of the road and
probably near together.
Sept. 30, 1730. Samuel Scot and Samuel Richardson, husband
men, both of Wrentham, for £20, quitclaim to Jonathan Blake, of
Norton, cordwainer, all the estate, right, etc., which we purchased
of Thomas Dogget and Elizabeth Dogget, of Attleborough, on
the 27th day of March last, it being all the right, etc., which the
said Thomas Dogget and Elizabeth Dogget had in and to the
estate of her father, Jonathan Blake, late of Wrentham. [Suf
folk Deeds, xlvii. 293.]
June 23, 1742. Samuel Richardson, of Wrentham, husband
man, and Sarah his wife, for £80 [in a depreciated currency], sell
to Ebenezer Messinger, of Boston, turner, one-half of a parcel of
two hundred and eighteen acres of land in Stoughton. [Suffolk
Deeds, lxiii. 168.]
This property had been purchased May 11, 1736, by Samuel
Richardson, of a family of Capens in Dorchester, viz. : Hopestill
Capen, Edward Capen, Samuel Capen, all of Dorchester, Jona
than Capen, of Stoughton, John Capen, of Dorchester, Stephen
Williams, of Roxbury and Mary, his wife. The entire parcel con
tained two hundred and eighteen acres, and was bounded south
on the old line between the Massachusetts and Plymouth colonies.
Stoughton and Wrentham at that time were contiguous.t [Suf
folk Deeds, liv. 154.]
*A considerable number of negroes and their children, who of course were
"servants," were baptized in Medfield about this time. Some of the names
of the children baptized were queer enough. Tahpenes, daughter of William
Peters, was baptized May 25, 1740. Finis, another daughter of William Peters,
was baptized July 30, 1749. No Richardsons appear on the Medfield church
records after 1754.
t Dorchester once extended from the waters of Boston Bay to the line sepa
rating the colonies of Massachusetts and Plymouth, including the whble or
parts of Stoughton, Sharon, Walpole, Foxborough, and Wrentham.

Benjamin Richaedson4 (Benjamin? John? John1), eldest
son of Benjamin and Ehzabeth Richardson, of Medway; born
there, March 9, 1739.
I know nothing more of him than this : He was a private, to
gether with his brother-in-law, William Penniman, of Braintree,
in a company of eight months' men, under the command of Capt.
Seth Turner, of Braintree— the part incorporated March 9, 1793,
as the town of Randolph. It is very likely that at the time of
his enlistment, May, 1775, he was residing in that town, for pre
vious to that time we miss him from Medway, and the muster
roll says that all the men whose names are on it belong to Brain
tree. [Mass. Muster Rolls, xxiii. 187.]
After the death of his brother Jeremiah, 1797, he was one of
the appraisers. Jeremiah had lived in Sutton.

Timothy Richaedson6 (John? John? John? John1), eldest
son of John 4 and Jemima (Gay) Richardson ; born in what is
now the town of Franklin — then a part of Wrentham — July 31,
1731; married first, Mehitabel  ; second, Betty  .
They were women of great worth.
He was married to his second wife a short time previous to
May 5, 1778, when, together with him, she signed a conveyance
to his brother John of eleven acres of land in Franklin. She
was received into the church in Franklin, June 18, 1780, by letter
from the church in Worcester. She died Aug. 30, 1809.
He was a cordwainer and also a farmer. He lived on a farm
half-way between the farm of his brother Elisha Richardson, and
the Franklin meeting-house. He was rather careless, negligent
and unthrifty. He seemed at times unscrupulous. He lived to
be very old. After both of his wives were dead — his second wife
died when he was seventy-eight — and he was in his second child
hood, he took a fancy to marry again, and if possible to have for
a wife a young woman. Various anecdotes are related of his re
peated attempts in this direction and of some ridiculous failures.
He joined the church in Franklin by profession in March, 1810,
when nearly seventy-nine years old.
He died March 21, 1816, aged 85.
His children were,

and Hannah (Walker) Haven, and cousin of Rev. Elias Haven,4
the first minister of Franklin, who (Elias) was born in Framing
ham, April 16, 1714; graduated, Harvard College, 1733; or
dained in Franklin, then the west precinct of Wrentham, IsTov. 8,
1738; died April 10, 1754, aged 40. She had a brother, Rev.
Jason Haven, born March 22, 1732-3; Harvard College, 1754;
minister of Dedham.*
While a young man he lived for some time in Framingham,
working at his trade, which was that of a house carpenter. After
his father's death — his father died ~Nov. 5, 1767 — he returned to
Wrentham, and bought his father's homestead of his two broth
ers, Elisha and Eli, for two hundred pounds. The homestead
property consisted of eighty-five acres with all the buildings
thereon. The deed is dated April 6, 1770. His descendants still
occupy the place.
During nearly thirty years John Richardson was the nearest
neighbor of his brother Elisha. They lived less than a third ofa
mile apart, in the present town of Franklin. These brothers
were strongly attached to each other and lived in great harmony,
having farming implements and other things in common. John,
in particular, was a man of great amiableness and gentleness of
character. After the death of Elisha, he was exceedingly kind to
the widow and children.
He was admitted by profession to the church in Franklin,
Sept. 21, 1783.
His will is dated May 4, 1809; proved June 6, 1809. He died
on the day of making the will, May 4, 1809. Abigail, his wife,
died Feb. 11, 1820, aged 83.
In his will " John Wilkes Richardson, labourer," is called " my
only beloved son." He gave him by deed, dated Sept. 16, 1796,
one-half of the homestead farm, containing one hundred acres,
and one-half of the dwelling-house and of other buildings
thereon. The children of John and Abigail (Haven) Richardson :

* There were two John Richardsons, each of whom married an Abigail
Haven. 1. John Richardson, bom 1735 ; married Abigail Haven, 1757, daugh
ter of Dea. Moses, who was son of Moses. They lived in Franklin, Mass.
2. John Richardson, of Grafton, married, 1789, another Abigail Haven, daugh
ter of Moses Haven, who (Moses) is said to have been a cousin of the Abigail
Haven previously mentioned. Barry's History of Framingham calls her a
widow, which is an error. Grafton and Shrewsbury are conterminous, and
John Richardson, of Grafton, was a son of Peter,5 who was a son of Thomas
and great-grandson of Samuel.1 See [2465], p. 350 of this volume.
t It is Slocum in several receipts for money, particularly in one signed by
William Slocum himself and his wife Jerusha, dated Nov. 1, 1785. It is sup

Elisha Richaedson6 (John? John? John? John1), brother of
the preceding, and third son of John 4 and Jemima (Gay) Rich
ardson ; born in what was then Wrentham, now Franklin, July 5,
1743 ; married, May 14, 1771, Abigail Laweence, born July 25,
1749, eldest daughter of Ebenezer and Mary (Hawes) Lawrence,
of the west precinct of Wrentham, incorporated, March 2, 1778,
as the town of Franklin. It is twenty-seven miles from Boston.*
Ebenezer Lawrence was only son of Ebenezer Lawrence, and a
descendant from John Lawrence, one of the early planters of
Wrentham. He (Ebenezer) joined the church in the west pre
cinct, or Franklin, April 26, 1741, and was doubtless one of the
subjects of the " great revival " in that place, of which an inter
esting narrative, furnished by Rev. Elias Haven, the pastor, is
contained in Prince's Christian History, and in Tracy's " Great
Awakening," pp. 121 et seq.
Ebenezer Lawrence, senior, his father, and Abigail's grand
father, was one of the original members of the Second Church in
Wrentham— now in Franklin— formed Feb. 16, 1738, 0. S. His
wife was Mary  . His will is dated Aug. 15, 1750, O. S. He
died within two years after, leaving one son, Ebenezer, and five
daughters. The eldest daughter was Abigail, mentioned above ;
the youngest, Mary, born May 26, 1762, married Major David
Hartshorn. Ebenezer Lawrence, father of Abigail, lived in the south part
of Franklin. His first wife, Mary Hawes, died Feb. 9, 1778. He
then married widow Mary Harding. He died Oct. 4, 1796. The
settlement of his estate, which was very considerable for those
days, devolved on his son-in-law, Elisha Richardson. The
amount of the property left to each of his children, four in num
ber, was $1,454, making in all about 15,800.
Abigail (Lawrence) Richardson was admitted by profession
into the church in Franklin, Aug. 6, 1775.
Elisha Richardson was by trade a cabinet maker. He was also
engaged in agricultural pursuits. In conjunction with his brother
Eli, he bought, March 31, 1770, of Richard Puffer and Jemima
his wife what is now known as the Elisha Richardson farm. This
became the homestead of Elisha Richardson and the birth-place
of his children and of the children of his son Elisha. It had
been during eighty-nine years in possession and occupancy of
Richard Puffer — conveyed to him 1681 — and his son Richard.
The surface of land, lying in several lots, was one hundred and
fifty-five acres, all lying in Wrentham, and was sold to the Rich
ardson brothers for £412. The homestead, ninety acres, was sit
uated on and bounded by Charles River.
* It had its name in honor of that exceedingly able man and eminent philos
opher, Benjamin Franklin. "When somebody suggested to him that he
might give the village church a bell, in acknowledgment of the compliment
thus paid, he replied: I think the people of Franklin will care more for sense
than for sound, and presented them with a library, still in use.

POSTERITY OF JOHN RICHARDSON OF MEDFIELD. 735
Six years after, or April 29, 1776, Eli Richardson, for £285,
conveyed his half of the above-mentioned purchase to his broth
er Elisha. .
Elisha Richardson was, in person, short and thick-set. He had
about five apprentices at his trade, and did considerable cabinet
work. Fathers employed him to furnish outfits of furniture for
daughters about to be married.
He never made a public profession of religion, but was a sin
cere and thorough believer in the great system of divine truth as
held by our Puritan fathers. He was in the habit of asking a
blessing on the daily food of the family and of returning thanks
when the repast was over. This was a common practice in New
England, even with those who were not members of the church.
In those days, or one hundred years ago, very little tea or cof
fee was used in farmers' houses. It was customary in the morn
ing to have a large bowl of milk-porridge on the centre of the
table, with a tray filled with broken bread near it, and a dish and
spoon before each person present. All stood up in their places
around the table while a blessing was asked, and when the repast
was over all stood while the head of the family returned thanks.
In the meeting-houses there was no fire, even in the coldest
weather, nor any place to make a fire. People carried little foot
stoves, made of tin, each furnished with a bail made of stout iron
wire, on which it swung. Inside of these foot stoves was a sheet
iron dish, containing coals from oak bark, covered with ashes
to keep them alive. These stoves were under the feet during
service time, and were especially used by the women.
Fear the meeting-house in some towns stood what was called
the " noon-house," or perhaps more than one, owned by individu
als. The noon-house was a small, square building, one story high,
with a window in each of two opposite sides, a door in one cor
ner, and seats around, which might be raised. Under these seats
charcoal was kept for use when needed. The central part of the
floor was paved with bricks or flat stones, on which was a fire
made of charcoal. At noon people went to these houses to warm
them, to replenish their foot stoves, and to eat their luncheon of
brown bread and cheese.
There was scarcely a carriage of any sort in town. People,
the elderly sort especially, rode to meeting on horseback, the wife
behind the husband on a pillion, carrying her youngest child and
sometimes two; the older children went on foot. Thus they
traveled, sometimes five or six miles, and much of the way
through the woods.
It was the practice for the congregation to rise and stand re
spectfully when the minister entered the house of worship, and
after service to rise and stand until he had retired.
When about to die, Mr. Richardson gave excellent counsel to
his children. He died March 15, 1798. His wife Abigail died
Oct. 3, 1827. Their daughter, Nancy Adams, then a widow, died
just a week previous.
His will is dated Nov. 16, 1797 ; recorded Norfolk Prob. Rec,

* The sufferings of the people during and after the Revolutionary war, re
sulting from the rapid depreciation of the currency, may, to some extent, be
understood from a schedule found among the papers of Elisha Richardson and
dated Franklin, Dec. 18, 1780, of which the reader here finds a copy. It shows
the rapid depreciation of this fictitious currency as month followed month. In
January, 1777, one hundred dollars in gold or silver were equivalent to one
hundred and five dollars in the bills of credit of the United States.

POSTERITY OF JOHN RICHARDSON OF MEDFIELD. 737
Richardson ; born in what is now Franklin, Aug. 5, 1745 ; mar
ried Mehitabel  .
He and his wife Mehitabel were admitted by profession to the
church in Franklin, May 28, 1786, and their three children then
living were baptized the next Lord's day, viz., June 4, 1786.
He was a yeoman or farmer. His father, May 15, 1767, gave
him a deed of one-half of his real estate, and the same day gave
to his brother Elisha a deed of the other half. These two broth
ers, under the same date, gave their father a bond to provide for
and support their father and mother during their father's natural
Ufe. The father died Nov. 5, 1767, or within six months after
wards. The property thus conveyed was held by these brothers jointly
till April 6, 1770, when they conveyed it to their brother John,
who, not long before, had returned from Framingham to Wren
tham. This is now known as the Stephen Richardson farm.
[See 7276.]
The two brothers, Elisha and Eli, purchased together, March
31, 1770, a farm of Richard Puffer and Jemima, his wife, as stated
in the notice already given of Elisha.
Six years afterwards Eli sold his interest in this purchase to
Elisha, soon after which he removed to the neighborhood now
known as the City Mills, in Franklin, where he subsequently lived
and died. His death occurred April 24, 1823, aged 78.
His children were :
7284. John,6 d. Sept. 2. 1775.
7285. Sally,6 b. July 6, 1779; m. John Torrey, jr., Nov. 29, 1798.
7286. Eli,8 bap. June 4, 1786; m.  Lindley ; lived and died in East
Medway. He left no posterity. He built "Richardson's
Mills," now called the " City Mills," in Franklin, in the part
now Norfolk, used principally for grinding grain and sawing
lumber.
7287. Mehitabel,6 b. 178- ; bap. June 4, 1786; m. Josiah Ware, of
Wrentham, a second cousin of Prof. Henry Ware, of Har

Capt. John Wilkes Richaedson 6 (John? John? John? John?
John1), brother ofthe preceding, and only son of John6 and
Abigail (Haven) Richardson, of Franklin, Mass. ; born there, Dec.
30, 1774; married, 1776, Matilda Kingsbuey, of Franklin.
He lived and died in Franklin, on the estate owned and occu
pied by his father, and now by his son John. His father gave
him by a deed, dated Sept. 16, 1796, one-half of the homestead,
containing one hundred acres, and one-half of the dwelling-house
and other buildings thereon. This property had been owned by
father, son, grandson, and great-grandson, these one hundred and
fifty years, or since 1724. So far as is known, his ancestors in the
male line have all been named John, and himself also. They
were all mechanics of some sort, cordwainers, carpenters, and cul
tivators of the soil.
John Wilkes Richardson was a farmer. He also taught in the
common schools in Franklin and the adjacent towns thirty-one
winters in succession. He was also one of the assessors of Frank
lin several years. His children were :

Julia Richaedson6 (Elisha? John? John? John? John1),
daughter of Elisha6 and Abigail (Lawrence) Richardson, of
Franklin, Mass.; born there, Sept. 18, 1776 ; baptized on the faith
of her mother, Jan. 12, 1777 ; married, Nov. 28, 1799, Nathan
Adams, son of John Adams, of that place. He was a descendant
of Heney Adams,1 who came from England to this country in
1634, with eight sons, and settled at Braintree, near Boston,
which town, without any doubt, received its name, May 13, 1640,
out of respect to him. Forty acres of land at Mount Wollaston
were granted by the town of Boston, Feb. 24, 1639-40, to Henry
Adams for the ten persons in his family. He died there, in the
part of Braintree now known as Quincy, Oct. 6, 1646. Of his
eight sons, Henry, Jonathan, Peter, and Edward settled in Med
field, which then included Medway, with parts of Wrentham and
other towns. From which of the four sons the husband of Julia
Richardson descended, the present writer is at present unable to
determine. He knows, however, that Miss Hannah Adams, of
Boston, who wrote a history of the Jews, was a daughter of
Thomas Adams, of Medfield, who was a grandson of Henry, son
of the Henry who came from England to Braintree in 1634.
This family has always been distinguished for moral worth and
true piety. The following epistle, addressed to me by Rev. Har-

vey Adams, under date of Fairfax, Linn County, Iowa, April 30,
1875, in answer to a request for information, is so valuable, so
satisfactory, and so touching, that I cannot persuade myself to
suppress any important part of it, but copy it nearly entire.
"My father, Dea. Nathan Adams, followed through life the
business of agriculture. He removed from Franklin, Mass., soon
after he was married, to Alstead, N. H., where all the children
were born. For several years after he removed to Alstead he
was accustomed to teach school in the winter ; he also practiced
surveying somewhat. He held various civil offices in Alstead, as
for instance that of selectman, assessor of taxes, and the like.
He was a professor of religion before my recollection, and a
member of the Congregational Church.
"In 1825, he removed to Worcester, Vt. While resident
there he represented the town once or twice in the General As
sembly,* and held other civil offices.
" During a season of religious interest in the fall of 1831 his
religious character underwent a great change. He had ever
maintained family worship and an outwardly consistent life, but
now, and ever after, he was active. He attended and regularly
took part in all social religious services. He remarked to me one
day, years after the change referred to, that he did not suppose
God had been out of his thoughts three minutes at a time, . wak
ing or sleeping, for three years. Nothing but absence or sickness
would keep him from daily private prayer. He held the office of
deacon, after this change, as long as he lived in Vermont. His
last years were spent in Franklin, Mass., in the family of Mr.
John H. Fisher."
Mrs. Julia Adams died Aug. 29, 1848.

Second, Jan. 1, 1829, Haeeiet Blake, born in Newton, 1795,
daughter of Timothy Blake, of Franklin, by wife Julia Dean,
daughter of Ebenezer Dean, of Franklin.
He passed his life in his native Franklin, where he died, June
14, 1866, aged 76.
He lived on the old homestead, purchased March, 1770, and
occupied by his father till the father's death, March, 1798. It is
on the public road from Medway Village to Franklin, half a mile
from the former and three miles from the latter. The house is
still occupied by the widow. Of the farm, fifty-five acres are
now owned by his grandson, James F. Adams, son of his daugh
ter Clarissa; the remainder was conveyed to Elisha Fisher
Adams, eldest son of Elisha, about 1846, but is now owned by a
Capt. Snow.
He was the only son of the family who outlived the period of
infancy, and was left fatherless at the age of seven and a half
years. With the exception of seven years in boyhood with his
uncle, Major David Hartshorn * at his residence, a mile south of
Franklin Centre, he passed his entire life upon the same estate,
that which had belonged to his father, in the north part of Frank

Maun, so eminent for his interest in the work of education, and
of Alexander Metcalf Fisher, professor of mathematics, natural

er and parishioner of that distinguished divine, Rev. Nathaniel
Emmons, D. D., with whom he enjoyed a familiar acquaintance.*
From an early date he was .tenderly and deeply affected with
the great truths of religion, and at the age of twenty-five the
death of a child was the means of leading him to commence a
new life, He immediately erected the family altar ; but not till
twelve years later did he make a public profession of a hope in
Christ, led thereto, in 1827, by that severe visitation of Divine
Providence which removed, as by one stroke, mother, sister, and
wife, all within seventeen days. At the time of his death he
was, with a single exception, Mr. Phipps, the oldest member of
the Congregational Church in Franklin.
He was a man of the old Puritan stamp. He loved the great
truths of the Bible, the sovereignty of God, the doctrines of
grace, the free salvation offered in the gospel. Renouncing all
claim for final happiness on the . ground of personal merit, he
trusted wholly in Christ for salvation.
The Sabbath was strictly observed in his family. During
nearly half a century he was in his place in the sanctuary, year
after year, with scarcely an exception, going more than three
miles through all the heat and rain of summer and the snows and
boisterous winds of winter.
He was a man of the strictest integrity. His word was as
good as his bond. He would have gone to the stake for the
maintenance of any great principle. He was faithful in all trusts
and duties. He made no pretensions to the respect of others,
yet was universally respected. His affections were deep, but
calm ; not apt to be excited, not sinking in despondency.
He held from time to time various offices of public trust and
responsibility, such as selectman, assessor, and member of the
parish committee.
He was an original member of the old liberty party in Frank
lin, organized about 1835, and was always found on the side of
freedom and real reform, retaining his sympathy with the colored
race to the last.
The happy influence of his instructions and example has been
manifest in the useful lives of his children and the success in life
which has attended them.
His will, dated April 4, 1863, gives to wife Harriet one hun
dred and fifty dollars in trust, to be applied to religious and be
nevolent uses. He makes various bequests, to his invalid and
unmarried daughter, Ruth Maria Richardson, to his sons, Elisha
Fisher Richardson, Charles A. Richardson, and Albert D. Rich
ardson; to his daughters, Clarissa D. Adams and Nancy R.
Adams; and appoints his son-in-law, Peter Adams, executor.

ardson, wife of said Stephen, and John W. Richardson, son of
Stephen. He died, as already said, June 14, 1866, aged 76. The eight
ieth birthday of Mrs. Harriet Blake Richardson, his widow, was
celebrated at the homestead of the subject of this notice, in the
north part of Franklin, near Medway Village, March 5, 1875.
About forty of the relatives and friends sat down to dinner. The
pastor of the Congregational Church in Medway Village, Rev.
Rufus K. Harlow, invoked the divine blessing. He also read
from the scriptures, made a brief address, and offered prayer in
connection with the more formal exercises of the day. Mr.
Charles A. Richardson, the only surviving child of Mrs. Richard
son, read an address, occupying about ten minutes, which re
counted some of the changes of the last fourscore years ; and Mrs.
Mary Jane Richardson, his wife, read a poem, written for the oc
casion by Rev. Increase Niles Tarbox, of Boston. Brief remarks
were also made by Deacon Peter Adams, a son-in-law of Mrs.
Richardson, by Dea. Joseph T. Bacon, and by Stephen Wilkes
Richardson, Esq. [7411]. Mr. George Blake, the only surviving
brother of the venerable lady, was present, as were also her two
only sisters, married to two brothers named Adams, and living
in Medway. The whole occasion passed off in the most satisfac
tory manner.
The place where the gathering took place has been in the
possession of the family since March, 1770. It is now owned and
occupied by James Francis Adams, son of Dea. Peter Adams, of
Franklin, already mentioned. The probability that it may ere
long pass into other hands was one inducement for this gather
ing. Mrs. Richardson, though lame from a severe injury to the hip,
is still in comfortable health, and with the help of a cane moves
readily about. She lives with her sister Julia Ann, widow of Joel
Partridge Adams, in Medway, June, 1875, half a mile north of
Medway Village.
Old Times. — The following are Elisha Richardson's recollec
tions of old times, as given to his son Charles, Feb. 23, 1866, a
few weeks before his death.
" I used to put six barrels of cider in the cellar every fall for
about twenty years [that is, from 1811 to 1831]. Uncle Harts
horn [Major David Hartshorn, in whose family he passed seven
years of his boyhood], who was quite a temperate man, used to
put in ten barrels every year. It would have been thought nig
gardly not to offer a drink of cider to any man who called. Men
used to drink at the table every meal. Some would become quite
intoxicated on cider, and mixing a little rum with it would make
them quite excited.
" Cider was sold for one dollar a barrel ; sometimes only fifty
or seventy-five cents; sometimes three dollars, as apples were
abundant or scarce. New rum, that is, rum distilled from molasses,
in those days, from 1800 to 1825, was sold for twenty-five cents

the gallon. It was sold at all the stores in Medway Village. To
keep it for sale was thought entirely respectable. I used at least
a barrel of the article while building my house in 1826. A barrel
cost about eight dollars. Sometimes it was drunk mixed with
water ; sometimes it was drunk undiluted.
[I have a full recollection of that state of things. Note by the
compiler.'] "Whenever Dr. Emmons called to see me, I used to give him
a drink of brandy. A man chosen surveyor of the highways was
obliged to spend a good deal of money in treating the men.
[And so in many other cases. It was a common expression, ' come !
you must treat!' j. a. v.] Caleb Fisher was the first strictly
temperance man in this region. He left off drinking about 1815.
The neighbors, and even a deacon of the church, told him he was
running into extremes. One year, when apples had been scarce, a
man from Sherborn [Sherborn joins Medway] obtained a barrel
of cider at Mendon in the month of May.* Returning, he en
countered a number of men at work on the highway, who per
suaded him to tap the barrel, and give each of them a drink. The
barrel was emptyf before he could resume his journey.
" I discontinued supplying my men with liquor in 1830. In
consequence of this, I found it difficult to obtain men to work for
me. At musters and trainings, immense quantities of rum were
drunk. Almost every man on the ground treated every other
man. Rum, gin, and brandy were passed around to the soldiers
three times in an afternoon. To be an officer imposed the necessi
ty of furnishing an immense quantity of liquor, in treating, not
only the soldiers, but spectators, who might be present. Rum-
drinking was so much practiced, especially at an election of mili
tary officers, that about 1805, Dr. Emmons preached from Prov.
xx. 1, ' Wine is a mocker,' etc. He did not advocate total ab
stinence. Nobody thought of such a thing. Women drank but
little. "'Spoon-victuals,' as they were called, that is, bread and milk,
or milk and bean-porridge, were much used when I was a boy.
Bread and milk constituted the breakfast on washing-days. It
was the usual supper the year round, except in hay-time; then
people had tea, with bread and butter. Few families in town
drank tea. At the time of my birth, 1790, tea was scarcely used
at all. Broth was used in its place. Baked beans were used in
abundance. Potatoes were not much used. Few families used
flour. In 1810, when I came home to live, beef was sold at five
dollars the hundred weight ; pork at six dollars ; butter seventeen
to twenty cents the pound {% hay was fifteen to twenty dollars the

ton. I used to work all day from sunrise till sunset, taking out
barely time for one meal.
" Traveling, when I was a boy, was performed mostly on horse
back. There were no vehicles for riding but two-wheeled chaises,
and only some five or six of them in town. A stage-coach, from
Boston to Hartford, passed through Medway three days in the
week ; returning on the intervening days. The fare to Boston
was one dollar. Turnpikes began to be constructed about 1810.
Great anvantages were expected from them.
" Farming lands were sold at from twenty to twenty-five dollars
the acre. No machinery whatever was used in farming, not even
a winnowing mill. [A shovel, held in the hand and exposed to a
strong current of air, was used in separating grain from chaff, j.
a. v.] Great prejudice existed against new things; against iron
plows, for example. It was supposed they could not be used in a
field where there were stones.
"Very few families took newspapers. My uncle, Major Harts
horn, took the Worcester Spy ; some took the Hartford Courant.
" Visiting between families was more practiced then than now ;
the wife would go in the afternoon, the husband would go to sup
per, and both would spend the evening.
"When I was a young man I occasionally carried a load of
provision to Boston. I was generally absent about three days.
[Franklin is twenty-seven miles from Boston.]
" Schools were kept eight weeks in winter and eight weeks in
summer. Male teachers were paid ten dollars a month ; female
teachers received one dollar per week ; some had more. Boys
went to school till the age of twenty.
"The earliest cotton factory in New England was at Paw
tucket, R. I. The second was in Medway Village.* Sheets were
previously made of linen ; shirts were of wool. Almost every
farmer kept a flock of sheep, and had cloth woven in his own
house. A girl expecting to be married spent a year in getting
her cloth ready. No cloth was bought for me until my wedding
suit was wanted, in 1811."
The children of Elisha Richardson, all born in Franklin, have been,

* The statements here made are not strictly correct. The first cotton mill
was established by Samuel Slater, an Englishman, whom I knew in my youth.
I do not remember the year, but it was as early, or earlier, as 1800. Several
other factories followed in Pawtucket and vicinity. The first cotton factory
in Medway was built, in 1804, by Luther Metcalf, Dr. Abijah Richardson, and
others, and there were certainly as many as six cotton mills elsewhere at that
time. Previously to the manufacture of cotton in this country, India cottons
were commonly used.

POSTERITY OF JOHN RICHARDSON OF MEDFIELD. 757
I am compelled to introduce in this place information which
properly should have accompanied the notice of his father. It
was furnished to me by Stephen W. Richardson, Esq., of Med
way, under date of May 12, 1875, after the notice of Dr. Rich
ardson was supposed to be completed.
" The first cotton factory in Medway was built, in 1804, by
Luther Metcalf, Dr. Abijah Richardson, William Felt, and others
of Medway. They commenced the manufacture of cotton yarn
in 1805, under the firm name of Richardson & Co. There were
four or five cotton manufactories in the country at that time.
Their mill was burned in October, 1807, but was immediately re
built, and the business was continued by that firm till 1809, when
an act of incorporation was obtained from the Legislature, and
the manufacture of yarn, and afterwards of cloth, was carried on
for a long time under the corporate name of the ' Medway Cot
ton Manufacturing Company.'
"Dr. Richardson continued a member of the corporation until
his decease [May, 1822], and was then succeeded by his son Abi
jah ; and since his decease no person of the name has been inter
ested in the factory property."
In a postscript, Mr. Richardson said that the preceding infor
mation was furnished him by the Hon. Luther Metcalf, son ofthe
Luther Metcalf first mentioned, who is now, and for more than
half a century has been, one of the most prominent men in Med
way, and still actively engaged in the insurance business.

POSTERITY OF JOHN RICHARDSON OF MEDFIELD. 765
7391.
William Slocomb (Jerusha Richardson? John? John? John?
John? John J), brother of the preceding, and third son of Wil
liam and Jerusha (Richardson) Slocomb ; born in Franklin, Mass.,
Feb. 5, 1783 ; married, first, Nov. 3, 1805, Selah Cushing, who
died Oct. 29, 1839. Second, May 10, 1840, Siba H. Buell, of
Marietta, Ohio, an aunt of Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell, who was
honored with important commands in the late war. She now
lives, a widow, at Grove Place, Rochester, N. Y., March, 1875.
The parents of William Slocomb removed from Franklin to
Sutton, Mass., in 1784. There he spent his school days, and at
tbe age of seventeen made a profession of his faith in Christ,
uniting with the church then under the pastoral care of Rev.
Edmund Mills, who was pastor there from 1790 to 1824. Some
years of his early manhood were passed in Franklin, with mater
nal relatives, and at that place he was married to his first wife,
Selah Cushing. Here he enjoyed the pastoral instruction of the
celebrated Dr. Emmons, a discipline to which he often referred,
and which left a deep impression upon his religious character.
Again becoming a resident of Sutton, he connected himself with
the church at Northbridge, the Rev. John Crane, D. D., being
the pastor. Earnest in his religious temperament, and active in
every good cause, he was the prime instrument in the formation,
in May, 1812, of the Religious Charitable Society for the County
of Worcester, which, with some similar institutions, resulted in
the American Education Society in Boston. A detailed state
ment of the facts, prepared by Mr. Slocomb himself, may be
found in the Fiftieth Annual Report of the Society.
In 1816, he became a resident in Marietta, Ohio, where for
many years he was the leading instructor of youth, and was re
garded as a prime authority in school matters in the valley ofthe
upper Ohio.
The religious character of Mr. Slocomb was marked and deci
sive, and the power of a personal consecration to Christ was
strongly and deeply felt in many fields of Christian effort. In
1816, he organized a Sunday School in Marietta, probably the
first one established west of the Alleghany Mountains. He be
came a resident of Rochester, N. Y., in 1855. In St. Peter Pres
byterian Church he officiated as an elder for seventeen years.
At the age of ninety, in the full possession of his mental
powers, he fell asleep in Jesus, in the assured hope of eternal life
iu Him. He died May 9, 1873.
The above notice of Mr. Slocomb would be incomplete with
out the following :
Mr. Slocomb took an active interest in Marietta College. He
educated several young men there, and gave largely to its libra
ry. The building which contains his donations of books bears
the name of Slocomb Hall, in memory of the giver. He pub
lished an Arithmetic, which, for a time, was used almost exclu
sively west of the Alleghanies.

Ill health compelled him to abandon his favorite occupation of
teaching, and he engaged in mercantile business, from which he

where he died, as already stated, at the age of 90, May 9, 1873.

of the class of 1843. Their names, and various particulars re
specting them, appear below.*
All the eleven went out under commissions from the American
Home Missionary Society, their salaries being fixed at four hun
dred dollars each. They came together in one company. They
started with their wives — those who had wives— from the United
States Hotel in Boston one morning early in October, 1843, and
made the journey together — then no light affair — as far as Bur
lington, on the Iowa shore of the Mississippi River ; then sepa
rated for their respective destinations. The journey occupied
three weeks. The first Sabbath they spent at Buffalo, then a
mere village, which was at that time the end of railway travel
westward. From Schenectady the road was nothing but a
"snake.-head track," consisting of an iron strap spiked to a
wooden timber for a rail. By means of a letter from Rev. David
Sanford, of Medway, they were agreeably entertained in different
families in Buffalo, and in the evening, at a missionary meeting
at Rev. Mr. Hopkins' church, they were introduced to the audi
ence, and made short addresses. From Buffalo they took a pleas
ure jaunt to Niagara. Reaching Milwaukie by water the next

Sabbath, they occupied several city pulpits. On leaving the hotel
Monday morning their bill was already paid. At Chicago, where
was no Congregational Church till 1851, eight years later— now
there are thirteen — they secured a passage to the Mississippi^ in
two team wagons, with their white covers, which were returning
after transporting loads of wheat from Iowa. The third Sabbath
they spent at Galesburg, 111., and again found their bills paid at
the hotel.
On their arrival in Iowa, 1843, there were about fifteen Con
gregational Churches in that State. November, 1874, there were
two hundred and twenty-four.
Five of the Iowa Band are still laboring in the State, viz. :
Ephraim Adams, Harvey Adams, Daniel Lane, Robbins, and Sal
ter. Alden returned to Massachusetts in 1848, or soon after.
Turner is superintendent of Home Missions in Missouri. Four
ofthe number, Hill, Hutchinson, Ripley, and Spaulding, are dead.
That these men had an immense influence on the character and
history of the State admits of no doubt. Coming in a body as
they did, the movement attracted great attention and imparted
great strength to the cause of Home Missions, not only in Iowa,
but elsewhere. These men at first encountered strong prejudices
and met with great opposition ; but God blessed their labors, and
they lived to see Congregationalism the leading religious influ
ence in that important State. Their going to that distant State
was then regarded as an instance of remarkable self-sacrifice; but
without any doubt their lives have been quite as comfortable and
far more useful than if they had remained in New England.
Harvey Adams was minister in Farmington, Iowa, from 1843
to 1860, and again from 1863 to 1866, about twenty years, mostly
as a settled pastor ; in Council Bluffs, Iowa, 1860 to 1863, and
has also labored at New Hampton and Fairfax, both in the same
State. He has been at Fairfax since 1871. He trusts that sever
al hundred souls have been led to Christ by his ministry.

POSTERITY OF JOHN RICHARDSON OF MEDFIELD. 777
She was a lady of education, accomplishments, and piety. She
was the second wife of Mr. Wilder. His first wife was Tryphosa
Jewett, born Dec. 27, 1799, daughter of Dr. Stephen Jewett, of
Rindge ; married Dec. 31, 1820 ; died on a visit to Rindge, July
31, 1831. She was the mother of six children.
The second wife, Abigail Baker, died of consumption, at Aiken,
S. C, April 4, 1854, the mother of six children.
The third wife, Julia Baker, was the sister of the second wife ;
born Oct. 25, 1821 ; married Sept. 8, 1855. She is still living.
Mr. Wilder's father gave him, at sixteen, the choice, either to
qualify himself to be a farmer or merchant, or to be fitted for col
lege. He chose the former. His father took him into his store,
where he bore himself so well that at the age of twenty-one he
was taken into partnership. The next year he was married. He
was also made postmaster of Rindge.
Possessing a taste for military affairs, at sixteen he was enrolled
in the militia. He organized ¦ the Rindge Light Infantry; was
chosen captain ; at twenty-five was made lieutenant colonel, and
at twenty-six was commissioned colonel of the twelfth regiment.
Seeking a wider field of action, he removed, 1825, to Boston.
He began in Union Street, in the wholesale West India goods
line, under the firm of Wilder & Payson ; pursued the same busi
ness, under the firm of Wilder & Smith, in North Market Street,
and later in his own name at No. 3 Central Wharf, till 1837. He
then became a partner in the dry goods commission house of
Parker, Blanchard & Wilder, Water Street; then Parker, Wil
der & Parker, Pearl Street ; afterwards in the firm of Parker,
Wilder & Co., Winthrop Square. The firm was burned out,
with many others, in the great fire in Boston, Nov. 9, 1872 ; but
they resumed their business afterwards. Mr. Wilder is still a
member of that firm, and so is his son William Henry.
Mr. Wilder has occupied many posts of honor, trust, and re
sponsibility. He was a director in the Hamilton Bank and the
National Insurance Company about forty years. He has passed
through commercial embarrassments, but has been successful in
business, and has always maintained an honorable reputation.
He has made liberal contributions to worthy objects.
Devoting a suitable time, in the middle of the day, to his mer
cantile affairs, he has given nearly all his leisure hours to agricul
ture, horticulture, and pomology, for which, from boyhood, he has
bad a peculiar taste. And no man has been happier than he in
the enjoyments of domestic life.
In 1831, after the death of his first wife, he sought retirement,
and finding a house to his mind in Dorchester, built by Gov. In
crease Sumner, he purchased it the next year. Here, in his gar
den, and with his green-houses and fruit trees, he has pursued his
favorite employments, year after year, to the present day.
Nor has he acted alone. Of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, he has been one of the most efficient and active support
ers, and for eight years its president. Of the American Pomo-
logical Society, formed in 1848, he has been president considerably

778 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
over twenty years. Of the Norfolk Agricultural Society, organ
ized in February, 1849, he was president twenty years. The
United States Agricultural Society owes its origin to him, in
1852 ; he was its first president, which office he held six years.
Many of the improvements in agriculture and its kindred pur
suits have been suggested and promoted by him.
He has had little desire for public life ; but was representative
from Dorchester one season, 1839; a member of the executive
council, 1849; senator of Massachusetts from the County of Nor
folk, 1850, and though a new member was chosen president of
the body.
Of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, chartered
in 1638, he became a member soon after his removal to Boston,
and for twenty-five years was not absent from its anniversaries.
Having been nominated to office four times and declined, he ac
cepted the honor in 1857.
He was unanimously elected president of the New England
Historic Genealogical Society in January, 1868, and has been
elected president every year till the present time, 1875. Through
his efforts in the way of soliciting funds, using for the purpose his
whole leisure time for three months in 1870, during which time
more than forty thousand dollars were contributed for the pur
pose, the handsome edifice No. 18 Somerset Street was procured,
and dedicated March 18, 1871, to the use of said society.
Few gentlemen have acquitted themselves so handsomely as
Mr. Wilder in the numerous positions he has been called to fill,
as few have equalled him in dignity of presence, amenity of ad
dress, and capacity and despatch in business.

She fitted herself to be a teacher at the select schools in
Franklin and Medwav, but subsequently studied at the Normal
School in Westfield. " For many years she taught school with
marked success, winning the love and esteem of those under her
charge. In August, 1845, she was admitted a member of the
church in Franklin. In 1861, she entered on the duties of a wife
at Westborough, where she remained till the close of life, faith
fully discharging the duties of a wife and mother. She died
there, of consumption, Jan. 1, 1875, aged 48.
A notice of Mrs. Nancy (Richardson) Adams, given in the
Congregationalist at the time of her death, says :
"Mrs. Adams was the daughter of the late Elisha Richardson,
of Franklin, where all her early life was spent. In August, 1845,
she was admitted to the church in Franklin, and in 1861 she en
tered her new home in Westborough, where she remained ever
after, discharging with conscientious fidelity her duties as a wife
and a mother. There was no special emotion and glow of expe
rience in her early religious life, but she grew steadily in the
graces and adornments of Christian character ; and by a consist
ent and remarkably equable Christian life, amid all the cares and
responsibilities of her family, she bore unmistakable witness that
she had been with Jesus and learned of him.
" A severe cold taken early in the year fastened itself upon her
lungs, and in the early autumn it began to be evident that she
was the victim of consumption, that scourge of our New Eng
land climate. None saw this more clearly than she ; but she was
not dismayed at the thought of death. There was a great strug
gle in giving up her family, especially in leaving four children of
tender age, the youngest but six years old, but grace was given
her to commit all her interests to her heavenly Father, and then
all was peace.
" A great vacancy is left in the family, and her loss is mourned
by a wide circle of friends, but they can rejoice in the blessed
memory of her quiet, faithful, and consistent life, and her calm,
peaceful, and triumphant death." Children :

ing volunteered for that work in response to the earnest call for pastors of
some experience. With his wife, Carrie Plimpton, who was from Walpole,
Mass., he sailed from New York, Oct. 5, 1872, and has since been laboring
there with great assiduity and zeal. They have four children. After his
graduation, and before studying theology, Mr. Adams taught the high school
m Walpole, and also was a teacher in the English High School in Boston, liv
ing meantime.in Somerville.
The father of Mr. Adams was Newell Adams, of Medway, who was horn in
Holliston, May 8, 1811, and died in 1876. He was the son of Stephen Adams,
and the brother of Joel P. Adams, the husband" of Julia Ann, sister of Mrs.
Harriet B. Richardson. He, Newell, was also brother of Francis J. Adams, of
Westborough, who married, as his second wife, Nancy, youngest daughterof
the second Elisha Richardson, and who now has a son, Frank, in the1 junior
class at Amherst College. The mother of Rev. Edwin A. Adams was Abigail
Blake, referred to above, youngest sister of Mrs. Harriet B. Richardson.

Chaeles Addison Richaedson7 (Elisha? Elisha? John?
John? John? John1), son of Elisha6 and Harriet (Blake) Rich
ardson, of Franklin, Mass.; born there, Oct. 9, 1829; married, at
Westfield, Mass., by Rev. Emerson Davis, May 3, 1852, Maey
Jane Phipps, born in Ashford, Ct., June 18, 1829. Her father,
John Silas Phipps, born in Pomfret, Ct., April 19, 1806, married
Mary Jane Knapp, Sept. 20, 1828, at Ware Village, Mass. He
sailed from New Bedford on a whaling voyage, Dec. 16, 1831,
and with six others was drowned by the overturning of a boat,
Feb. 25, 1832. He was a carpenter by trade, and sometimes
worked at house-painting. His widow married, as second hus
band, Henry Goodrich. They now live at Westfield, Mass.
Mr. Richardson was educated in the district schools of his na
tive town, at the academies in Franklin and the neighboring
town of Holliston, and at the State Normal School in Westfield.
He had commenced a preparation for the ministry, but slender
health prevented the continued prosecution of this design.
He began a religious life in December, 1844, at the age of fif
teen years. The impression of eternal things then and previously
made on his mind and heart was very strong. He united with
the church in Franklin, then under the pastoral care of Rev.
Tertius D. Southworth, who succeeded Dr. Emmons, the last
Sabbath in August, 1845, his sister Nancy joining with him in
the solemn act.
He taught schools in Medway, Franklin, Montague, South
Maiden (now Everett), and Dedham. Respecting his qualifica
tions and success as a teacher, the following paragraph may
afford pleasing information. It is extracted from the Twenty-
second Report ofthe Massachusetts Board of Education, for 1859,
pp. 69 and 70. It was furnished by Rev. James Hervey Merrill,
Dartmouth College, 1834, himself a successful teacher, pastor at
Montague, Mass., from November, 1839, to April, 1856, and pas
tor of the West Church in Andover from April, 1856, to the pres
ent time.
" Upon being appointed, several years since, prudential com
mittee of the centre district in Montague, where I then resided,"
says Mr. Merrill, " I repaired at once in person to the Normal
School in Westfield, and selected and engaged a teacher. That
gentleman," C.A.Richardson, "taught two winter schools and
one select school in Montague. And, in my opinion, by the im
provements he introduced in discipline and instruction, he was
instrumental of incalculable good to the whole town. Also, quite
a number of youth, attending his schools and learning the meth
ods he introduced, afterwards taught schools in Montague and
elsewhere, greatly to the acceptance of school committees. The
introduction of normal school improvements brought on a new
era in the district schools of one town in the State to my person
al knowledge."
Mr. Richardson was, in 1854-5, a clerk in the book-store of

782 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
John P. Jewett & Co., in Boston. In January, 1856, he became
one of the proprietors and editors of the Congregationalist, a re
ligious newspaper, commenced in Boston in 1849. At the time
when he became thus connected the circulation of that paper was
only four thousand and five hundred. Now, February, 1875, it is
about twenty-four thousand. This large and steady increase is
due, in no small degree, to Mr. Richardson's energy and sound
discretion. When he took the paper in charge, as its managing
editor, he threw himself into the work with all his might. For
ten years, 1856 to 1866, he worked very hard, and was very
closely confined to the duties of the office. During the war for
the Union, he prepared the summary of news for each successive
week, which presented a careful and comprehensive history ofthe
progress of events. This summary gained for the paper a high
reputation; it attracted many readers, and was pronounced by
many persons the best account they could anywhere find of the
important transactions of the times. Mr. Richardson has always
had charge of the selections and communications for the paper,
and has attended to the "making-up" every week of his connec
tion with it, save when absent from home.
He was an active participant in the purchase of the Old Bos
ton Recorder,* commenced Jan. 1, 1816, making personally the
first offer to Rev. Elihu P. Marvin, then its proprietor, for its
purchase, and working earnestly to accomplish a union of the
two papers, which was finally effected in 1867. This consolida
tion was believed to be of great importance to the Congregational
denomination. From him came the idea of making up a readable bound vol
ume from the columns of the Congregationalist. Such a volume
of the octavo size, five hundred pages, appeared in the year 1866.
It was entitled " Household Reading ; " was immediately in re
quest, and obtained, in that and following years, a circulation of
over nine thousand copies. It did more to build up the Congre
gationalist than any other thing. Its articles were unusually
interesting, valuable, and instructive.
A smaller volume, bearing the title " Good Things," for Sab
bath scholars, has since been compiled from more recent issues of
the same paper.
All the religious papers, or nearly all, have suffered from a di
minished circulation within two or three years (it is now Febru
ary, 1875) some of them very largely. The Congregationalist is
an exception. This may safely be attributed, in great part, to
the discretion, sound judgment, and untiring energy of the man
aging editor.
He resides in Chelsea, near Boston. He made a trip to Europe,
lasting four or five months, in 1869, with his wife, who again vis
ited Europe, with her eldest daughter, in 1873. In 1874, Mr.
Richardson visited California, crossing the continent.
* The Boston Recorder was commenced on the personal responsibility of
Rev. Jedediah Morse, of Charlestown. He and he alone became bound for
the expense of its publication. So says S. T. Armstrong.

Albeet Dean Richaedson » (Elisha,6 Elisha? John? John?
John? John1), brother of the preceding, and son of Elisha6 and
Harriet (Blake) Richardson, of Franklin, Mass. ; born there, Oct.
6, 1833; married, first, in Cincinnati, April 7, 1855, Maey Louise
Pease. She died at his father's house in Franklin, of measles,
March 4, 1864, while her husband was in a rebel prison at Salis
bury, N. C. Her death was no doubt caused by the care and
anxiety attendant on her separation from him and his suffering
condition. Second, at the Astor House, New York City, Nov.
30, 1869, Abby Sage; the service performed by Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher. ¦
In early life he was remarkable for good nature and for schemes
of various kinds. He had no taste for farm work, but was fond
of reading. He had a memory unusually retentive, and early
made attempts at composition. He attended the district school
six months in the year, three months in the summer and three in
the winter, besides which he passed two or three terms at the
high school in Franklin and at the Holliston Academy.
At the age of eighteen, having taught school one winter in
Franklin, and feeling that he must begin to act for himself, he
decided, with the full consent of his parents, to go west. He
started on the journey with no definite plan. Having taught
school a few months near Pittsburgh, he became a reporter for
the Commercial Journal of that city; but in the autumn of 1852,
m less than a year, went down the river to Cincinnati, where he
was connected two years with the Sun and also the Unionist,
both now extinct, and afterwards as an editor with the Columbian
and the Gazette.
Subsequently he went to Kansas, and became widely known
as the constant correspondent from that region of the Boston
Journal, writing over the initials, a. d. e., so familiar, describing

most vividly the scenes of border ruffian life. His was a life of
constant change and adventure. He resided with his family in
Sumner, not far from Atchison, Kansas, and was for a time secre
tary of the Territorial Legislature and adjutant general to the
Territorial Governor. In the summer of 1859 he removed his
wife and children to Franklin, and in the autumn of that year
made his first journey to the Rocky Mountains. In 1859, he
made the acquaintance of Horace Greeley in a journey to Den
ver and up among the Rocky Mountains, and out of this acquaint
ance grew his subsequent connection with the New York Tribune.
In the summer of 1860, he ascended to the summit of Pike's Peak.
After various experience, having for a time been editor of the
Western Mountaineer, in Colorado, he came east in the winter of
1860-1, and went on a secret journey through the South for the
Tribune. Going down the Mississippi, he spent considerable
time in New Orleans, at great risk of his life, and passed through
Charleston April 14, 1861, two days after the rebels opened fire
on Sumpter. The journey was a perilous one, but he reached
New York in safety, and gave a most vivid account of what he
saw throughout the South.
He was with Gen. Fremont in his campaign in Missouri, July
to November, 1861 ; at the capture of Fort Henry, on the Ten
nessee River, just south of the Kentucky line, Feb. 6, 1862, by a
fleet of gunboats under Admiral Foote; in the Pittsburgh
Landing campaign, March and April, 1862 ; at the siege of Cor
inth, May, 1862; capture of Island No. Ten, April, 1862; capture
of Fort Pillow, June, 1862; capture of Memphis, June, 1862;
and witnessed the terrible battle of Antietam, Sept. 16 and 17,
1862. Of these transactions and many others he furnished full
accounts for the newspapers. After our armies entered Memphis,
he became for a time editor o£ the Memphis Argus.
On the 3d of May, 1863, he took passage at Memphis, in a
steam tug, in company with Junius H. Browne and Mr. Richard
Colburn of the World newspaper, and attempted to pass the reb
el batteries at Vicksburg, which was then besieged by the forces
under Grant. Vicksburg surrendered to Gen. Grant July 4, 1863.
The batteries were numerous and formidable, and the tug was
sunk by rebel shot, and of thirty-five persons on board only six
teen, and he among the number, escaped safe to land. He fell,
however, into the hands of the rebels, and was confined eighteen
months in seven prisons, principally the Libby prison at Rich
mond and the prison at Salisbury, N. C. In these prisons he suf
fered much. Many times he and his friend Browne attempted to
escape, but were overtaken and hindered, and confined in a worse
dungeon, with thieves, cut-throats, and wretches of most aban
doned character. At length he and Mr. Browne effected their
escape, Dec. 18, 1864, and made their way about four hundred
miles, mostly by night, to Knoxville, in East Tennessee. Jt was
a dreadful winter's journey of four weeks. From this place he
sent the famous telegraphic despatch, " Out of the jaws of death,
out of the mouth of hell."

POSTERITY OF JOECN RICHARDSON OF MEDFIELD. 785
Soon after he prepared his first work, entitled "The Field,
Dungeon, and Escape," which obtained the remarkable sale of
nearly one hundred thousand volumes.
His health being impaired by his long imprisonment, he went
West in the spring of 1865, with Speaker Colfax, Gov. Bross, of
Illinois, and Mr. Samuel Bowles, of the Springfield Republican,
on that notable overland journey to San Francisco, spending sev
eral months on the Pacific coast, and writing various letters to
the New York Tribune. His second book, " Beyond the Missis
sippi," was soon prepared for the press. It was issued in May,
1867, and reached a circulation of seventy-five thousand copies.
His last work was a " Personal History of Gen. Grant," published
in 1868, which had a sale of twenty thousand copies.
In the spring of 1869, he went by railway to California, writ
ing his letters, " Through to the Pacific," to the New York Trib
une. In midsummer he returned. For nearly two years
previous to April, 1869, his home was at Fordham, a few miles
out of New York, on the Harlem road. At that time, he pur
chased a cottage at Woodside, Newark, N. J., where he resided
till his death.
The manner of his death is briefly told as follows : On the
afternoon of Thursday, Nov. 25, 1869, about five o'clock, he en
tered the office of the New York Tribune, as usual, to obtain his
mail. A man, named Daniel McFarland, who was there hid
from his view behind a desk, sprang forward and instantly fired a
pistol within four feet of his breast. The ball from the pistol
passed through his stomach, liver, and intestines, causing his
death a week after, viz. : Dec. 2, 1869, at 5 a. m.
There had been a personal misunderstanding between him and
McFarland, in which the blame appears to have been wholly on
the side of the murderer. McFarland had been accustomed to
the use of strong drink, which at times frenzied his brain. This
had made him unkind and oppressive to his wife, who was eight
een years the younger. He had often and greatly abused her ;
and she, finding her condition unendurable, indeed she believed
her life to be in imminent danger, had determined on a separa
tion, which at this time had already taken place. Her hapless
condition had moved the sympathy of Mr. Richardson, and he
had tried to comfort her. A warm attachment had sprung up
between them, and they had agreed, as soon as a legal divorce
could be obtained by her from McFarland, to enter into the mar
riage relation. This coming to the knowledge of the latter im
pelled him to the rash and bloody act.
It becoming evident that the wounded man could not recover,,
and a divorce having been obtained, the parties, Mr. Richardson
and Mrs. McFarland, were married, as already stated. This was
done that she might bear his name and have a legal claim to the
care of his children. It is pleasant to say that she has been
faithful and kind in her treatment of them. The affair caused
immense excitement at the time, not only in New York, but
through the land.

786 THE RICHARDSON, MEMORIAL.
A monument of Portland, Ct., freestone was placed over the
remains in the cemetery in Franklin, May, 1873. The following
description of the monument and the ceremonies of the occasion
appeared in a local paper :
" On Friday, May 30, 1873, was witnessed probably the largest
gathering ever seen at the City Mills Burying-ground in Frank
lin, the occasion being the dedication of a monument lately
erected to the memory of Albert D. Richardson. It is now three
years and a half since his remains were deposited- there by loving
hands, but the convenient time for setting up this structure did
not come until the present year. It is of Portland, Ct., freestone,
from the manufactory of Burt & King, of Taunton, and strikes
the eye at once as both tasteful and elegant. The height is
about fifteen feet, with a base of four feet. On the front, in
raised letters, is the family name, Richaedson, with the mono
gram, a. d. e., so familiar to his friends, and also the following
record :
Albert Dean, son of Elisha and Harriet B. Richardson. Born Oct. 6,
1833. Died in New York City, Dec. 2, 1869.
Thousands give thee thanks
Who never saw thy face,
And so, farewell,
Kind heart and true !
"On one side is the record of Mr. Richardson's first wife, who
died while he was in Salisbury prison, and also the record of two
of their children.
" The dedication exercises were held under the auspices of the
G. A. R., Lieut. Whitaker commanding. After a prayer by Rev.
S. W. Segur, of West Medway, in place of Rev. Luther Keene,
of Franklin, who was ill, an address was delivered by Junius H.
Browne, Esq., of New York, who for nearly twenty years was an
intimate friend of Mr. Richardson, being associated with him as
a journalist in Cincinnati and New York, and also as a war cor
respondent, and in southern prisons for about twenty months.
Mr. Browne paid a warm tribute to his departed friend, which
appeared in full in the Tribune of May 31, 1873, and eulogized
the qualities of heart and mind which always and everywhere
surrounded Mr. Richardson with friends.
"Hon. Milton M. Fisher, of Medway, a near neighbor of Mr.
Richardson during his boyhood, followed, alluding to the esteem
with which he was held in his native place and the interest
which he took in its welfare ; and after singing by Messrs Trow
bridge and Keene, members of the band, the services were closed
with the benediction by Mr. Segur."
The children of Mr. Richardson, by first wife, were :

Saeah Wild Richaedson7 (Orlo? Silas? Seth? Joseph?
John? John1), sister of the preceding; born in Chesterfield,
N. H., Aug. 11, 1814; married, in Westmoreland, N. H., Jan. 1,
1863, Col. Chaeles Butteeeield, born in Westmoreland, Nov.
12, 1808, son of Willard and Caroline (Dickinson) Butterfield, of
that place. She was his second wife. His first wife was Lucy
Smith White, daughter of Rev. Broughton White, once settled
in Washington, N. H.
Col. Charles Butterfield was prominent and active both as a
citizen and a Christian in Westmoreland. From the year 1827
to 1862, thirty-five years, he was superintending school commit
tee for the town. He was many years superintendent of the
Sabbath School connected with the Congregational Church, of
which also his second wife has long been a teacher. In his earlier
years he was colonel of the Twentieth Regiment of the Militia
of New Hampshire. He was a generous, public-spirited man ;
had a good farm, but could not be described as a rich man. He
had four sons and four daughters by his first wife. He died June
1, 1876, of heart complaint, with which he had been troubled for
several years.
Mrs. Butterfield has furnished the material for the history of
the descendants of her grandfather, Silas Richardson. She is a
woman of sterling worth. Her early advantages for education
were small, hardly more than the common district school then af
forded. As her father, with limited means and a family of eight
children, could not afford, as he thought, the expense of a higher
education, she determined to do all she could to obtain the
means. She taught common schools, and thus found herself able
in October, 1838, to enter the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary.
In six months her health failed, and in May, 1839, she found it
necessary to go home. She lost her voice, and was otherwise in
very slender health more than seven years. In 1847, she resumed
school-keeping. In May, 1851, needing rest, she went to spend
some time with her sister Baker, in Meriden, N. H. While there
she entered Kimball Union Academy. She was there three
years, and graduated in 1853, at the age of thirty-eight. She is
particularly interested in the study of botany.

he received an appointment as a missionary of the American
Missionary Association at Brainerd Station, in Jamaica, West
Indies. He labored there nearly three and a half years, return
ing in September, 1854, from failure of health. He was wel
comed back to his former parish at Lenox, Ohio, where he still
remained four years, making seven in all. He then received a
call to Austinburg, in the same county; preached there two
years, when ill health again compelled a change. In May, 1860,
he removed to East Cleveland, Ohio, where he remained as pas
tor of the Congregational Church till September, 1869. He went
to Lawrence, Kansas, in 1870, and took charge of the Pilgrim
Church, to which he still ministers, April, 1874.
God has blessed his labors in every place. He has always left
the churches, whose minister he was, stronger than he found
them. In Jamaica, there were nearly one hundred added to the
church while he labored there. At Lawrence, his present field of
labor, he found a mission church of fifteen members; there are
now ninety. He also has a church four miles out in the country,
to which he preaches every alternate Sabbath.

7885.
Amos Richaedson1* came to New England before 1640, and
settled in Boston as early as 1645, probably before. He married,
first, Saeah  ; second, Maey  . He was a man of great
respectability, enterprise, and good estate; a merchant tailor,
ship-builder, and landed proprietor. He was made freeman in
1665, and removed to Stonington, Ct.,»in 1666, and died there,
Aug. 5, 1683; his wife Mary living but a few weeks after.
In 1673 he made provision for his son John, a minister at New
bury, Mass. The following is a copy of the instrument :
" This may certify to whom it may concern that whereas (by
the providence of God) my oldest son, John Richardson, hath
made his choice of a wife with my approbation, and suddenly in
tends marriage, I therefore thought good to signify unto him and
to all whom it may concern, that for his future comfortable sub
sistence I do hereby under my hand declare that after my de
cease and my wife, y' all that farm called Quanaduck farm, which
now I live upon, with all the appurtenances of houses and land
and commonage, shall belong to my son John Richardson afore
said, to be to him and his heirs forever, provided I do possess of
it. I do further engage in the meantime that I will not any way
dispose of sa farm except it be for the settling of an estate upon
my son, ye sd John Richardson, to his acceptance in some other-
place, as witness my hand. Boston, Oct. ye 12th, 1673.
Witness Edwaed Nicholson. Amos Richaedson."

town of New London, Ct., in exchange for lands taken from him
by the town after a controversy in the courts. He also in his

lifetime deeded as a gift to his son Samuel, lands in Stonington,
Ct. He was engaged in ship building, and had in the courts of
New London a suit with Thomas Wells in regard to the tonnage
of a ship built by said Wells under contract. The New London
court records also show that he was sued by Major Mason in
1671 for calling him a traitor and saying that he had damnified
the colony, damages laid at £1,000 and a verdict for £100 ob
tained. He was undoubtedly a man of strong convictions and of
determined energy and will, with a good deal of original talent,
kind-hearted, but never submitted to a wrong without an effort
for the right. His children, all born in Boston, were,

But little is known about the children of Stephen and Samuel
Richardson after their baptism. The fact appears in a centennial
address made at Coventry, Ct., that Amos Richardson married
Rachel Yarrington, on Long Island, and emigrated from Stoning
ton, Ct., previous to 1725. Whether this Amos was the son of
Stephen, baptized at Stonington in 1681, or a son of his, or one
of his brothers, we are not sure. It is evident, however, that he
was a descendant of Amos the senior, who died at Stonington in
1683, and probably the son or grandson of Stephen and Lydia.
The name of Amos which was kept up in the family for several
generations, and perhaps in some of its branches to the present
time, as well as the fact that he went from Stonington, and there
was no other Amos there except of this family, warrant this con
clusion.

Roderick Richaedson 6 (Lemuel? Lemuel? Amos? Stephen,!
Amos x), eldest son of Lemuel and Rachel (Lothrop) Richardson,
of Coventry, Ct. ; born at Tolland, Ct., Feb. 15, 1779; married
Anna Davis, of Stafford, Ct., daughter of Noah Davis, the
grandfather of the Hon. Noah Davis, judge of the Supreme
Court of New York. After residing in Connecticut a few years
after marriage, they moved to Waitsfield, Vt., where they re
sided until their death. He died June 28, 1844, aged 65 years.
They were among the early pioneers of the town, although not
the first. They came in 1809 ; the town was organized in 1794,
and the first freeman's meeting was held in September, 1795.
He was a saddle and harness maker by trade, as was his father
before him ; but he had an active business talent, which led him
into various departments of business in the new country to which
he went. It was not unusual for him to be engaged in the mer
cantile business, farming, harness making, cloth dressing and
wool carding, hotel keeping, blacksmithing, and other branches
of business at the same time. It was mainly through his influ
ence dnd perseverance that the first flour mill was erected upon
Mad River, in Waitsfield, which was the starting point of the
present village in that town, and added largely to the value of
real estate in the neighborhood.
He was postmaster for a number of years; held important
town offices, and was twice elected judge of the court for Wash
ington County. At the time of his death he owned the farm
upon which the firpt settlement ofthe town was made by General
Benjamin Wait, the most valuable farm in the town, upon which
is a private burying ground, now containing the remains of the
first settler, as well as those of Mr. Richardson and his wife.

son of Roderick and Anna (Davis) Richardson; born in Stafford,
Ct., Ang. 7, 1807; married, Feb. 28, 1839, Haeeiet Emeline
Taylob. When he was about two years old the family moved to Ver
mont. At an early age he entered into his father's business, at
tending to the store, hotel, farming, and other business. He had
the advantages of a common district school only, but by perse
verance and close application acquired a good business education.
At the age of about seventeen he first visited Boston, in compa
ny with his father, to purchase a small stock of goods, and there
after made all the purchases and had the whole charge of that
business, at the same time attending to the other departments of
business in which his father was engaged. At the age of twenty-
one he commenced for himself and was successful to a moderate
extent, adding yearly to his income by close application and
economy in expenses.
He continued to reside at Waitsfield until 1855, when he
moved to Montpelier, Vt. ; was engaged there in banking, and
for nine years in private banking at Freeport, 111. He was chair
man of a committee for locating and erecting a building for an
academy and graded school large enough to accommodate the
whole village, about five hundred scholars. After its completion,
which took two years, he was elected chairman of the school
committee, which position he held for several years, until he de
clined a further election. He was treasurer during the whole
time, and took no compensation for two years' services in superin
tending the building, grading the grounds, and disbursing the

money. He afterwards spent about the same time in superin
tending the erection of an Episcopal Church, built of stone, on
State Street, Montpelier, for the building of which he was the
largest contributor in money, besides the time spent in the erec
tion. It is the only church in Vermont having a stone spire, and
is a noble specimen of architecture. In 1 869 he moved to Bos
ton, Mass., and took an interest in a commission house for two or
three years, in order to introduce his sons into business, and then
retired. While in Vermont he served nine years in the Legislature, five
years as representative from Waitsfield and four years as senator
for Washington County. He was elected judge of the county
court and served one year against his own wishes, and then de
clined a further election. He was a member of the standing
committee of the diocese of Vermont at the time and for several
years before his removal to Boston ; was always a delegate to the
diocesan convention after he became a communicant of the
church in 1854, and was elected to and attended three triennial
conventions of the Episcopal Church in New York City and
Philadelphia. He was senior warden of Christ Church, Montpe
lier, while he-resided there, and is now holding the same position
in the Church of the Messiah, Boston.
After moving to Boston he was elected president of the Mont
pelier & Wells River Railroad, a corporation chartered by the
Legislature of Vermont, the acceptance of which he regards as
the most foolish act of his life. After serving about two and a
half years, and insuring the completion of the enterprise, which
was beset by discouraging and annoying difficulties, he declined a
further election. Their children were :
+8007. Roderick Julius,8 m. first, Addie F. Ware, of Boston ; second,
Ellen Knights.
8008. Louis Ferdinand,* succeeded his brother as cashier of the First
National Bank, Montpelier, Vt., which position he resigned,
and then went into the commission business in Boston, in
which he was engaged at the time of his death, which oc
curred in 1870.

THE NEWBURY RICHARDSONS. 813

THE NEWBUKY KICHAKDSONS
AND THEIR DESCENDANTS.

Newbury, in Massachusetts, received its first inhabitants, ex
cept, possibly, a few fishermen or transient persons, of which
there is no direct proof, early in the spring of 1634. Among the
first settlers were Henry Sewall (father of Judge Samuel Sew
all), William Moody, Rev. Thomas Parker, Rev. James Noyes,
several by the name of Short, several Rents, four Browns, and
several others. The place was called Newbury, from Newbury
in Berkshire, England, fifty-six miles- west from London, where
Mr. Parker had preached before coming to America. The popu
lation increasing rapidly, the place was incorporated as a town,
May, 1635.
Not long after the settlement of Newbnry, we find there the
names of Edward Richardson and William Richardson. They
were there as early as 1647, and probably some years previous.
It can scarcely be doubted that they were brothers.

jFirst (ffiowration.

8017.
Edwaed Richaedson x was born in England in 1617, which
appears from the fact that he took the oath of allegiance to the
colony of Massachusetts Bay in 1678, at the age of sixty-one ;
came to America, and settled in " Old Newbury," probably soon
after 1640. He was married, but his wife's name does not appear.
He was a member of the church in Newbury, of which Rev.
Thomas PaTker was pastor, and Rev. James Noyes the teacher.
Not long after 1650 difficulties arose in the church on the subject
of discipline, and the church was divided into two parties, one
party maintaining that all church power resides in the church it
self, the other party, and especially the ministers, claiming that
the ministers must take the initiative in all cases, and nothing be
done but in accordance with their wishes. Indeed, both minis
ters were understood to be Presbyterian in sentiment. For five
or six years after 1665 the church was in a very excited and un
happy state, divided into two parties, nearly equal in numbers,
and each claiming to be the church. Mr. Richardson was of the

party opposed to Mr. Parker, the pastor. A full history of the
matter is contained in Coffin's History of Newbury.
Edward Richardson and several other inhabitants of Newbury,
with some of Dover, presented a petition to the General Court of
Massachusetts in May, 1659, for a grant of land twelve miles
square, at Penacook (Concord). The petition was granted, but
the conditions as to settlement, etc., not being fulfilled, the grant
was forfeited. Most of New Hampshire was then under the ju
risdiction of Massachusetts. [Bouton's Hist, of Concord, p. 52.]
Neither Edward Richardson nor any other Richardson is on
the list of proprietors of lands in Newbury, compiled December,
1642 ; ninety-one in all, but twenty-two were afterwards added.
[Coffin's Newbury, p. 292.]
Edward Richardson died Nov. 14, 1685, aged 68.
His children were :
8018. John,2 b. 1647; took the oath of allegiance to the colony, 1678,
aged 31.

William Richaedson,1 supposed to be a brother of the pre

settled in Newbury, about 1640, or not long after; married Eliz
abeth Wiseman, Aug. 23, 1654.
He lived in Newbury, probably in what is now West Newbury.
In 1656 he was a creditor of Henry Fay, of Newbury. [From
file in clerk's office.] His widow Elizabeth made oath to an in
ventory of his estate, dated March 30, 1657, amount £52. His
real estate consisted of " a house and foure akers of land prised
at £23."
He died March 25, 1657, probably under forty years of age.
His children were :
+8027. Joseph,2 b. May 18, 1655; m. Margaret Godfrey.
8028. Benjamin,2 b. March 13, 1657. No children appear on record.
He was one of the witnesses, twenty-four in number, sum
moned to Boston, March, 1680, in the case of Elizabeth
Morse, wife of William Morse, of Newbury, accused of witch
craft. The warrant gives his age at that time as being twen
ty-one. Joshua Richardson, probably his cousin, was
another witness.

Chester, N. H., was settled about 1723. The charter was
granted May, 1722. The grantees, over one hundred in number,
were mostly residents in Portsmouth and Hampton, though sev
eral dwelt in Haverhill, Bradford, and Newbury. Very few of
them ever dwelt in Chester. Their object was to make money,
and most of them sold out their lots in a short time. Joseph
Richardson bought a one hundred acre lot and an eighty acre lot
in Chester as early as 1725, but it does not appear that he ever
lived in Chester. He bought the lots for his sons, four of whom
afterwards resided in that town.

West Newbury, 1714 ; married Hannah Nelson, of Rowley.
He settled in the east parish of Bradford, now the town of
Groveland, on the Nelson lot, next to the line of what is now
West Newbury. This lot had been in the wife's family from the
beginning of Bradford, building their house on the northerly side
of the highway. Be this as it may, his will, dated April 20, 1746,
proved May 19, 1746, recorded Essex Prob. Rec, xxvi. 287,
makes him a yeoman of Bradford, residing on the west line of
West Newbury, and gives him the following children with the
exception of Bradbury, who is not mentioned. Joseph was ex
ecutor of the will, and was to have all the real estate, he paying
out the legacies, etc. William Balch, John Hopkins, and John
Sargent were witnesses, which determines the locality. The
dates are unreconcilable, but are as given to us.

They lived for a time in Newbury or Newburyport. The ac
counts do not well agree together. His grandson Christopher
remembers him at Dracut, he thinks ; but his grandson Asa, from
Methuen or Dracut, remembers him at Pelham. He removed to
Raymond, N. H. ; was a farmer, and lived and died there. After
his death, his widow lived in the family of her son Samuel, at
Corinth, Vt. If she kept school there, as is stated, she could not
have been very old in 1790 ; probably she was younger than her

Col. Beadbuey Richaedson 6 (Joseph? Joseph? Joseph? Wil

Hampton, N. H., when he was seven years old, and that he con
tinued in Hampton till after the birth of his third child. He and
his brother Joseph were in the army about nine months, the last
year of the war, it is said. He removed from Hampton to Moul-
tonborough, N. H., about 1770, and became the owner of a large

THE NEWBURY RICHARDSONS. 829
8203.
I have made considerable effort to ascertain the line of descent
of Albeet Feancis Richaedson, a teacher in Bridgton, Me. He
gives no clue to his pedigree, save that his grandfather was Jo
seph, and his father's name was Mark. The best light I can ob
tain leads me to the belief that he is descended from
I. William Richaedson,1 born in England, about 1620; came to this
country, and settled in Newbury, about 1640. He appears to have had but
two sons, Joseph 2 and Benjamin.2
II. Joseph Richaedson,2 his son, born May 18, 1655 ; married Margaret
Godfrey, July 12, 1681. Their son:
III. Joseph Richaedson,8 born Dec. 31, 1686 ; married Ann Riggs, of
Gloucester, Feb. 24, 1712. He lived, as did the preceding, in West New
bury. Their son :
IV. Joseph Richaedson,4 born 1714; married Hannah Nelson, of Row
ley. He lived in the east parish of Bradford, which now constitutes the
town of Groveland, but near the west line of Newbury.
The record is now confused, and I have not time or means to
clear it up. But it is pretty certain that Col. Bradbury Richard
son, born in Bradford, October, 1737, was the son of Joseph
Richardson, and that he had a brother Joseph. It is certain,
also, that Col. Bradbury Richardson had a son Bradbury, born
1772. This younger Bradbury lived in Pownal, Me., and with
Jane, his wife, sold, in 1824, a lot of one hundred and three acres
in Pownal, whereon Joseph Richardson, deceased, formerly lived.
[Cumb. Deeds, cv. 398.] This "Joseph Richardson, deceased,"
must have been a brother of the seller of this property ; and, if
so, then a son of Col. Bradbury Richardson, and born February,
1790. A memorandum from Gen. Richardson, of Portland, Me., says :
"A Benjamin Richardson, Joseph, Caleb, and Bradbury Richard
son lived in New Gloucester and Pownal many years ago." New
Gloucester and Pownal are adjacent towns. From abstracts of
deeds in my possession I learn that Benjamin Allen Richardson,
mariner, of Freeport, bought land of Aaron Lovekin [Lufkin]
July 22, 1790, and Oct. 15, 1791, bought sixty acres in New
Gloucester. In 1791, Feb. 19th, he sold back to Lufkin the land
he bought of him as above. June 7, 1793, he was of New
Gloucester, and sold land in that town to Benjamin Witham.
Aug. 6, 1796, Benjamin Allen Richardson was of Freeport, and
sold land in Freeport.
In 1824, as we have seen, Bradbury Richardson was of Pownal,
and sold land there.
October, 1812. Benjamin Allen Richardson, of Pownal, and
wife Abigail sold to Joseph Richardson the lot where he then
lived, in PownaL •,¦.,,. .,
Sept. 29, 1802. Joseph Richardson, of Gorham, and Mehitable,
his wife, sold to John Hanscom, of Gorham, fourteen and one-half
acres in Gorham, being the same land that Mehitable had of her
father, Andew Crocket, of Gorham, deceased. [Cumb. Deeds,
mviii. 550.]

830 THE RICHARDSON. MEMORIAL.
1826. Bradbury Richardson, of Pownal, sold land in Minot
He gave and received many deeds.
April 5, 1819. Caleb Richardson, of Pownal, and wife Joanna
sold to Simeon Jones, of Pownal, land in Pownal. [Cumb.
Deeds, lxxxiv. 525.]
In 1824, "Orin, only heir of Joseph Richardson, of Pownal
deceased, had by his guardian, J. Lufkin, sold land in Pownal."
[Cumb. Deeds, cv. 396].
Thus we have all four of the Richardsons mentioned in the
memorandum, and they were doubtless all related. Joseph Rich
ardson, grandfather of the school teacher, is said to have come
from the north part of Vermont.
The account given by the teacher in Bridgton, is that Joseph
Richardson 1 was born in Scotland, came to America and settled
at Lyndesborough, N. H., and had five children, Charles, John, Jo
seph, Naomi and Eunice. His grandfather, Joseph Richardson,2
son of Joseph,1 was born in Lyndesborough, Nov. 1, 1761 ; married
Mehitable Crockett, of Gorham, Me., and died in Standish, Me.,
Nov. 12, 1833, having had six children, Benjamin,8 Eben,8 Mark,8
Elliot,8 Emeline, and Eunice.
Benjamin,8 his first son, was born in Gorham, Me., Nov. 10,
1801, and married Ella Weeks, of Bartlett, N. H., Sept. 25, 1828.
He had five children :
Josiah, who d. at the age of eleven.
Joseph, m. Francina Jordan, of Sweden, Me., killed in the battle of
Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862. Children : Anna B. and Grace H.
Eben, m. Lois Abbot, of Fryeburg, Me., has four children : Joseph,
Charles, Laomi, and Fannie.
Angeline and Mary unmarried.
His second son, Eben,8 married Lydia Rand, 6f Standish, and
had one child, Elmira.
Elliot with his sister Eunice reside in Standish and are un
married. Mark Richardson8 married Mary P. Poor, of Sebago, and re
sided there during his life. He died Sept. 19, 1872. [Mark Rich
ardson, of Sebago, bought land in Sebago of Tyler P. and Leander
Poor, of Sebago, 1840; doubtless his wife's brothers. Cumb.

Albert Francis Richardson, who furnished the foregoing ac
count, was chosen, March 2, 1863, one of the school committee of
Sebago, and served in that capacity three years. March 5, 1866,
he was elected one of the selectmen of Sebago, and served two
years. He entered Bowdoin College July 16, 1869; graduated
there July, 1873. In June, 1871, while still a member of college,
he was chosen one of the school committee of Sebago, and served
two years ; was principal of Monmouth Academy in the spring of
1872; took charge ofthe Bridgton High School, April 7, 1873.
He has been a teacher in Sebago, Naples, Otisfield, Harrison,
Bristol, Bethel Academy, Monmouth Academy, and Bridgton

of Chester, N. H.; born there, Feb. 21, 1742; married, first, 1761,
Maetha Webstee ; second, widow Simonds.
He passed his life in his native town of Chester ; was an inn-
holder and an influential man. He was chosen, Jan. 23, 1775,
one of a committee of twenty-five, called a Committee of Safety,
empowered to act in reference to the critical state of the country
at that time. He was a selectman of the town, 1779. He was
placed, July 5, 1781, on a committee to procure soldiers for the
war. A Baptist Church was organized in 1819, consisting of sixteen
members, of whom he was one of the more prominent. Until a
meeting-house was built for them, in 1823, they worshiped in
Capt. Richardson's hall. During the intermission he stood at his
bar to serve customers ; whether with cider or something stronger
is not stated.
In the spring of 1776, he, with many others, signed what was
called the Association Test, pledging the subscribers to resist to
the utmost, even with arms, and at the risk of their lives and for
tunes, the encroachments of the British ministry.
In 1782, he agreed to deliver to Rev. Ebenezer Flagg, minister
of the town from 1736 to 1793, twenty cords of wood for $28.00.
He died Nov. 26, 1827, aged 84 years, 7 months. He had no
children. His wife had a daughter, Mary Simonds, who lived
with him, and married Nathan Webster, born April 9, 1780.

846 THE RICHARDSON MEMORIAL.
Rev. David Thurston was born at Georgetown, Mass., Feb. 6,
1779 ; graduated, Dartmouth College, 1804 ; studied divinity with
that renowned theologian, Rev. Asa Burton, D. D., of Thetford,
Vt.; was ordained, at Winthrop, Me., pastor, Feb. 18, 1807; dis
missed Oct. 15, 1851, after more than forty-four years of eminent
ly successful service; then supplied at Searsport, Me., and at
Litchfield, Me., from Jan. 4, 1859, fulfilling all his duties faith
fully to the last of an uncommonly protracted life ; closing with
a peaceful, happy death. He married, first, Dec. 26, 1808, Eunice
Farley, daughter of Hon. John Farley, of Newcastle, Me. Sec
ond, Oct. 31, 1811, Prudence Brown, daughter of Benjamin
Brown, of Chester, N. H., and sister of Rev. Francis Brown, then
of Yarmouth, Me., afterwards president of Dartmouth College,
from September, 1815 to July, 1820. Mrs. Prudence B. Thurston
died in West Springfield, Mass., May 27, 1871, aged 85.
The present writer well knew Mr. Thurston, while in Maine as
a minister ; and remembers him with the highest veneration and
esteem, as one of the best of men.
Henry Richardson entered Bradford Academy, Mass., in 1823,
and studied there three years. During this time he taught school
three winters, two of them in that town. In 1826, he entered
the Theological Seminary in Bangor.
In 1829, a small Congregational Church was organized in Sid
ney, a town lying above Augusta, Me., on the Kennebec River,
and Mr. Richardson was ordained its pastor Nov. 23, 1831. The
people did not feel able to pay for preaching, and he was dismissed
September 20, 1833.
Not long after, Mr. Richardson became pastor of the Congrega
tional Church in Brownville, Me., in Piscataquis County. Neither
the church or town had long been in existence. He was dis
missed in the winter of 1838 ; went to Gilead, Oxford County,
Me., the following spring, and preached there and in the adjoining
town of Shelburne, N. H., eleven years. He left Gilead in the
spring of 1849, and in March, 1850, became acting pastor of the
church in Goshen, Sullivan County, N. H. He went back to
Gilead, Sept. 1, 1861, and preached a time with failing health.
He has been able to preach but little for the last fourteen years,
1862-1876. During the last eight years and more, he has been
so disabled by rheumatism as to be unable to walk a step. He
has a good home, he and his dear wife, he says, with their only
daughter and her good husband, Mr. Peabody, in Gilead. They
are entirely dependent on their children for support, and their
wants are well supplied. Their children are dutiful and affec
tionate. The present writer was acquainted with Rev. Mr. Richardson
in Maine, more than forty years ago, and always regarded him
as a very worthy man. He furnished for this volume a very full
account of the branch of the Richardson family to which he be
longs. The children of Rev. Henry and Eunice F. Richardson are :

farm," with elegant buildings, for homes, and all farm purposes.
The farm is said to be stocked with every kind of fruit and berries
suitable for the climate, and adorned with great taste and skill,
well befitting the large hearted souls who occupy it ; and they say :
" At the spacious and hospitable homes of the Richardson
Brothers, the members of the Richardson Family, who may come
