• Notes

  From a number of different sources, it has been determined that Richard came to Massachusetts in 1635. The manifest list for the Ship DEFENSE, sailing from London, England, in August of that year and arriving at Boston, MA, on 3 October 1635, shows Richard, at age 33, to be a miller. The family's early habitation in the Old Bay Colony, however, is well documented with a number of the early generations living in the geographic region which has become known today as Newton, Massachusetts.
