Notes |
Richard came from England, probably from the parish of Hingham, inNorfolk County, early in the settlement of the Massachusetts Colony, and located at Hingham, on Broad Cove Street. His family consisted of his wife and three daughters. In 1644, he, with several others, became involved in trouble over the election of a commander of a local military company. He was arrested, with several others, and, stoutly refusing to give bail, was sent to jail. After a long and wearisome trial, they were fined different amounts. In 1638, he was also fined for immoral conduct.During the King Philip's War, while many fled to the more thickly settled towns, others remained in the Ibrook house, which was fortified to resist the Indian attacks. He died at Hingham , November 14, 1651, his wife dying April 4, 1664.
