PREFACE. 
 
 ¥ AM fond of historical research and have found in it a rest- 
 " fill means of recreation since I first came to New York 
 City, as a student, in 1871. In tracing out my ancestry 
 and that of many of my friends I have had no intention until 
 recently of publishing any of it My reasons for doing so are 
 twofold : first, I have collected so much data during the thirty- 
 four years since I commenced that it will gratify me to have it 
 placed within tlie reach of others ; second, there is no satisfactory 
 account of Amos Richardson and his descendants. '"The Rich- 
 ardson Memorial," written by the Rev. John Adams Vinton, is 
 an excellent genealogy and was a great aid to me, but the dozen 
 pages in it giving the "Posterity of Amos Richardson" were 
 hastily prepared after the Memorial was partly printed and 
 contain many errors and important omissions. 
 
 I have gleaned information from so many sources that I 
 cannot mention all who have kindly assisted me. I am indebted 
 to Mrs. Henry F. (Susan Whitney) Dimock of New York and 
 South Coventry for invaluable aid, without which this work 
 would never have been written. Her privately printed records 
 of Coventry placed a flood of information in my hands, and in 
 addition I have had the benefit of her private memoranda taken 
 from to\\Ti records and tomb-stone inscriptions. 
 
 A complete list of others who have assisted me would cer- 
 tainly include ex-Speaker Winthrop,* and his son, Robert C. 
 Wiiithrop, Jr.,* of Boston; Judge Richard A. ^Vheeler,* and 
 his daughter. Miss Grace D. Wheeler of Stonington; Roswell 
 Richardson* of Waitsfield, Vt. ; Newton Reed,* author of the 
 ''History of Amenia," and his daughter, Miss Mary H. Reed; 
 Hon. Roderick Richardson* of lioston ; Miss Helen Wilkinson 
 Reynolds of Poughkoepsif ; Frank Lorenzo Hamilton of Meri- 
 den, Conn. ; Mrs. Irving Robinson of Elizabethtown, N. O. ; 
 Judge Gilbert Collins of Jersey City; John L. Richardson of 
 
 ♦Deceased. 
 
Bloomsburgh, Pa. ; Dr. George Denison Stanton of Stonington ; 
 Reuben H. Smith, editor of the Thomaston (Conn.) Express; 
 Major Azel Ames of Wakefield, Mass. ; Miss Charlotte S. 
 Mann of New York; and Mrs. Frank L. Howe of Northfield, 
 Vt. 
 
 To these and many others I tender most hearty thanks. 
 My effort I trust may lead some one more competent than I to 
 write a full genealogy of the family. 
 
 Undoubtedly some will be disappointed because I have not 
 given more data outside of my own direct line. This I could 
 not do, as it involved more work and expense than I was able to 
 undertake. 
 
 This account is marked second edition because a year ago 
 the first three generations were put in type and a hundred copies 
 printed and circulated to assist in getting further information. 
 Important additions and corrections have since been made,

The Xame-RICHARDSON. 
 
 ACCORDIA'G to Camdeu's -Remains," Richard the Little, 
 -..n of Lord Belward, soon after the jSTonnan conquest 
 had a son called John Richard-son, taking his father's 
 name with the addition of son for his surname. "Hence came 
 tlie name and fiunily of Richardson." This is quoted in the 
 "Richardson .Memorial," and gives color to the erroneous sup- 
 position that the ditferent families by the name of Richardson 
 have descended from a common ancestor by that name. 
 
 Xor does it add much to our knowledge to know that 
 Richard was a Xorman name. At the time that surnames came 
 into use in England about the thirteenth or fourteenth century, 
 Richard was a common Christian name among all classes. As 
 Richard Grant White states, "the conquerors' laug-uage yielded 
 to the strength and the foothold of the English speech, but their 
 names were diffused all over England, and within less than a 
 century and a half had almost wholly driven the English names 
 out of the country." Charles W. Bardsley, an English au- 
 thority on names, says, "The Norman list was really a small one 
 Init it took possession of the whole of England. * * * * 
 X'arious methods to secure a personality arose. The surname 
 was adopted and there were John Atte-wood, John the Wheel- 
 wright, John the Bigg, and John Richard's son in every com- 
 munity. Among the middle and lower classes these did not 
 IxKxmie hereditary till so late as 1450 or 1500." 
 
 Next to Jolni and William, Richard was one of the names 
 most frofpiently used during the four Inuidred years preced- 
 ing the iieforuuition, and presumably hundreds of Richardson 
 families d(a*ived their name from ancestors who had been christ- 
 enc^l Richard, but had no connection with each other. 
 
 Ill Ilurke's "General Armory" for 1844 is given a descrip- 
 tion of the arms of twenty-one different Richardson families, but 
 it is not known that any of the early settlers by that name, in 
 America, liad the right to use arms. 
 
AMOS RICHARDSON. 
 
 THERE is nothing known about Amos Richardson prior 
 to May 22, 1639. On that date he was a witness 
 at Boston with Stephen Winthrop of a deed from 
 Governor Winthrop to Thomas Purchase. He was 
 born probably about 1623, as the Boston Court Archives have 
 his affidavit when he was "aged forty years or there abouts." 
 This is without date, but there was one by Mary Harmon, 
 June 11, 1663, for the same case. The Genealogical Dic- 
 tionary, by the late James Savage, says, ''Amos Richardson 
 of Boston, merchant tailor, perhaps one of that great London 
 guild." "A man of great enterprise and good estate." '*A 
 good letter from him to Fitz John Winthrop at Car dross in 
 Scotland, written September 13, 1659, signed Amos Richard- 
 son, was given to me." 
 
 Mr. Savage must have learned some things about him which 
 are now unknown; at least the letter referred to cannot be 
 found. 
 
 In some of the Winthrop family letters he is described by 
 his Christian name only.* 
 
 *From Lucy Downing (wife of Emanuel Downing and sister of 
 John Winthrop, the elder) at Salem to John Winthrop, Jr., at New 
 London, Dec. 17th, 1648. 
 
 "I then writ to Amos to get the butcher to pay my sonn Stoder 
 3 pounds ten in peas and would pay William but Amos could not 
 preuayle." — ^ 
 
 From Governor John Winthrop at Boston to John Winthrop, Jr., 
 at Hartford, Feb'y. 3rd, 1649. "You wrote to Amos about prices of 
 beife and pork." "I think he will write to you not to send any as it will 
 not yield above 3d the pound at most." 
 
 From Adam Winthrop at Boston to John Winthrop, Jr., at New 
 London, May 3rd, 1649. 
 
 "According to your desire I haue lett the orchard to Amos and 
 Goodman Gridley" * * * "Amosse has bought a maid servant for 
 you, if you haue occation for one. She is for 4 yeers, & is to be paid 
 for hir time."

 He was closely connected witli the Wintlirop family for 
 many years, acting under a power of attorney for Stephen while 
 the latter was in England, being associated with Dean as cue 
 of the proprietors of Groton, and looking after many business 
 nuitters for ^Mrs. Downing. He was the agent for Governor John 
 Winthrop, the yoimger, and with him gave ci'edit to Samuel 
 Wiuthrop, of St. Christophers, in the West Indies.* He also 
 acted for Capt. Wait Winthrop as umpire in a mill dispute. 
 
 In addition to carrving on the business of merchant tailor, 
 he soon became a general trader throughout the colonies, and, 
 with his own vessels, to the West Indies. He acquired large 
 tracts of land, probably as many as five thousand acres, at Ston- 
 ington, New London, and in the Narragansett country. 
 
 During the early histoiy of Massachusetts there were no 
 practicing lawyers and a number of business men acted as 
 attorneys. It is stated that Amos Richardson was one of the 
 three most active attomevs in the law courts during the life of 
 the iNfassachusetts colony. 
 
 On July 6, 1642, he bought a house and lot, being an acre, 
 more or less, of George Bromer (late purchased of James 
 Slokos), for seventeen pounds. Stephen Winthrop and John 
 Tinker were witnesses of the deed. The land was situated on 
 
 •Letters from Samuel Winthrop to John Winthrop, Jr. 
 
 "St. Xtophers, Sept. 8th 1657." 
 
 "I am infinitely ingaged to yor self & Mr. Richardson, & so sensible 
 thereof that I will not call any thing of wt God hath lent mee mine 
 untill I haue to ye utmost farthing discharged that ingagement." 
 
 "Antigua, Nov. 8th, 166.3. As to Mr. Richardsons debts here, I 
 have had much trouble with it; & last year by seurall discompts & 
 changes, I brought ye debt into my hands." "It was ye 1 Aug. 1662. 
 "Since wch here hath been no conueyancc, nor I could not send a letter 
 nor any relief to my children." "It troubles me much he hath it not." 
 
 "My last to him was 27th Aug. last: in wch I begged of him to 
 order some vessell to call for it about June next, for we make sugr only 
 In ye spring & summer; after July none." 
 
 "Sept. 1604. I haue here reddy for Mr. Wharton 20 odde thousand 
 pounds of sugr for Mr. Richardson & to supply my sonnes. I expect 
 his catch from Barbadoes euery day. I wish she were well gone wth 
 lit, that Mr. Richardson might rayle no more at me. I hope when I 
 haue stopt hla mouth full of interest & allowance between money and 
 country pay (though mine hath all bin mony pay to him all along) 
 that he will hold his peace."

 what is now the north side of Summer Street, where Hawley 
 Street has been cut through. It w^as then a rear lot with no 
 street connection; Summer Street not being laid out until 1645. 
 
 A Commission was appointed September 15, 1645, "to lay 
 out a new way through the gardens towards the wind-mill." 
 ''To begin between Nicholas Parker's house and Robert Rey- 
 nold's garden (on Washington Street) and go forth, between 
 Amos Richardson's and John Palmer's house." 
 
 In 1683 Hawley Street was called Richardson's lane.* 
 
 This was his home for more than twenty years and prob- 
 ably until he moved to Stonington (about 1663) ; here all of his 
 children were born. During the next fifty years Summer Street 
 became one of the finest residential streets in Boston ; adjoining 
 the site of Amos Richardson's home the first Trinity Church. 
 was erected. 
 
 On March 22, 1647, he purchased two acres from Francis 
 Smith, fronting on the Common at what is now the southeast 
 corner of Tremont and Winter Streets. He owned other prop- 
 erty in Boston, some of it near the Winthrop dock. Capt. 
 James Johnson and Peter Oliver were partners with him in 
 some of this wharf property. 
 
 On June 20, 1661, Col. Stephen Winthrop deeded to him 
 the northeast comer of Governor Winthrop's home lot; it does 
 not appear in the deed what the consideration was. Emanuel 
 DoAAming was one of the witnesses. This lot was about 24 feet, 
 on Washington Street, by 54, on Spring Lane, and adjoined the 
 Colonel's house and land. The remainder of the Winthrop estate 
 subsequently became the property of Old South Church, on the 
 southwest corner of which the present historic "Old South" was 
 erected in 1Y29. 
 
 In 1679 he gave this lot to his daughter Sarah, and her hus- 
 band, Timothy Clarke. It was then described as "AH my 
 Messauge or Tenement late in the tenure & occupation of Sarah 
 Pickering widdow deed." 
 
 He also obtained a number of grants of land, very early in 
 the settlement, at Pequot. The New London town records show 
 the following : "Memorandum for town meeting Sept. 20, 1651, 
 Amos Richardson is to have a lot." 
 
 *Suffolk Deeds, Vol. xiii— 434 
 
10 
 
 Caulkiu's History states that lie was iium Boston and had 
 commercial deaiiugs with the planters and that instead of taking 
 up a new lot he purchased that of Kichard Post on Post Hill. 
 "Aug. y, IGoo. House lot to Amos Richardson's brother, the 
 millwright (afterwards called brother-in-law)." 
 
 "He had subsequently a grant of a large fami east of the 
 river under the same vague denomination: he has not been 
 identified." 
 
 "Two necks of land extending into the Sound, one called 
 'a pyne neck/ with a broad cove between them, was granted to 
 Isaac Willey and by him sold to Amos Richardson." 
 
 "Still another containing several hundred acres of land and 
 separated from Hugh Caulkin's land by a brook called Mistuxet, 
 was laid out to Amos Richardson and his brother in 1653."* 
 
 Part of this division Avas known by the Indian name of 
 "Quonaduck." 
 
 In October, 1661, Antipas NewTuan, of Wenham, sold him 
 a large tract of land, called Caulkin's Xeck, bounded by the 
 above Quonaduck farm on the East, Caulkin's brook West, Capt. 
 George Denison's North, and South by the Sea. 
 
 Pequot, now ISTew London, embraced the present town of 
 Stonington, where the last three of the above described grants 
 Avere located, * 
 
 . The deed of the Indian sachem Nealewort for a part of this 
 land was dated August 26, 16.58, and is recorded at Stonington. 
 It is described as "a tract of land called Quinabogue lying and 
 being near to the country of the Late Pequed Indians for and in 
 consideration of the great Love and affection I beare unto Amos 
 Richardson of Boston in the Mass. Colony, Englishman. * * * 
 contain l)y measure one English mile and half square on each 
 side of that River called Quinabogme River next Adjoining to 
 ye land or farme granted to John Winthrop Esq. Governor of 
 the English Colony on Connecticut River northward of the said 
 farme and is called by the name of Nayumscut and Quadueca- 
 tuck." 
 
 •Abigail Richardson married John Marrett at Boston, on July 20, 
 1654, and they had a son Amos, but that was a year too late for the 
 conjecture that he might have been the brother-in-law referred to. 
 Amos was then quite an uncommon name in New England. 
 
11 
 
 Wheeler's ^'History of Stonington" locates this property as 
 "the land lying between Stonington Harbor, Lambert's Cove and 
 Stony Brook on the east, Fisher's Island Sound on the south, 
 and Quiambaug Cove on the west up to a point, from which a 
 direct line easterly passing about thirty rods south of the resi- 
 dence of Mr. Henry M. Palmer to Stony Brook, constituted the 
 north boundary line of said tract of land." 
 
 The family name of Mary, wife of Amos Eichardson, is un- 
 known ; he did not, however, have a second wife, as stated in the 
 "Eichardson Memorial." It is probable that they were married 
 in 1642, the year that he purchased his house and garden. 
 
 It is conjectured that the brother-in-law referred to above 
 was Richard Smith, of Lancaster, a "mill-wright," whose first 
 wife Mary died with her infant March 27, 1654, and who mar- 
 ried, on the 10th of the following August, Joanna Quarles at 
 Boston. 
 
 It is quite certain that John and Maiy Smith, who are 
 claimed to have been the parents of Richard were not the parents 
 of Amos Richardson's wife. 
 
 They had a daughter Alice, however, who probably became 
 the second wife of John Tinker, a man very closely associated 
 with Amos Richardson. 
 
 He named one of his sons Amos and the inventory of John 
 Tinker's estate* shows that a farm of 240 acres and other 
 property had been deeded to Mr. Richardson for the use of John, 
 Mary and Amos, children of John Tinker. 
 
 In 1656 the eight proprietors of Groton included this 
 Richard Smith, with Dean Winthrop, John Tinker and Amos 
 Richardson. Soon after this he moved to Lyme, Conn., where he 
 was a deputy in 1678-9. 
 
 His children were ]^i chard (probably by his first wife), 
 John, bom 1655, Francis, 1657, James, Elizabeth, who married 
 John Lee. He had a grand-son named Quarles Smith, and the 
 Lyme records mention two Roland grand-sons. 
 
 Mary Smith died in 1659 and her husband in July, 1669. 
 In May prior to his death John Smith gave all of his estate to 
 his son in-law, John Moore, in consideration for support ; his 
 
 *Manwa]-iTis;'s "Hartford Probate Records" Vol. 1.— 244.

 will mentions only four children — John, Richard, Ann and 
 Alice. There were so many John and Richard Smiths that it 
 is very difficult to untangle their history. The Diary of Thomas 
 Minor, of Stonington, refers to Amos Richardson and his family 
 more than eighty times. On October 29, 1660, he says, "carried 
 the firkin of butter to Mr. Smith for Amos." November 2, 
 1660, ''I weighed Amos his firkin of butter at Mr. Smith's." 
 The follo"\ving receipt for a horse delivered in the presence of 
 Thomas !Minor, Jr., and Ephriam Minor is also found in the 
 Diary: '^Delivered unto poor man mine (torn) A horse that he 
 bout of mister Richinsoone and by his appointment and order 
 a horse a chestnut Culer with a blase in his face." * * * 
 "I Say by mee delivered this 14 day of aguste 1661 with my 
 hand Richard Smith." Mi". Richardson at this time lived in 
 Boston. 
 
 There w^as also a James Smith at Rehoboth, and on Sep- 
 tember 7, 1653y Amos Richardson was appointed administrator 
 of his estate. This was a month after the lot referred to was 
 granted at ^ew London. Nothing further is knowoi about him ; 
 but He may have been a brother of Richard. 
 
 Another Richard Smith was associated w'ith Richardson 
 and Tinker in the Atherton Company. He was born in Glou- 
 cestershire in 1596 and died at Wickford, R. I., in 1666; he 
 established a trading house there in 1687 and was a man of note. 
 He had two sons — Richard, who died without issue in 1692, and 
 James, who died unmarried in 1664. 
 
 The Salem Court records show that on October 14, 1656, 
 Major John Hauthorne and Amos Richardson w^ere plaintiffs 
 in. a law suit against John Divan, which was adjourned to the 
 next General Court. That is all that is known about it ; but they 
 must have had a joint interest in some property. 
 
 On March 8, 1662, Edward Hutchinson, William Hudson 
 and Amos Richardson were sent to Rhode Island with a letter 
 from Massachusetts to settle troubles in the Pequot country. They 
 could not have been well received, for two years later the Rhode 
 Island General Assembly denounced them as intruders. 
 
 Amos Richardson probably moved to Stonington, Conn., 
 about 1663, but also retained a residence in Boston for a number 
 of years. 
 
13 
 
 His name appears in tlie list of inhabitants of Narragansetl 
 in July, 1663, and of Wickford in May, 1668 ; but while he had 
 landed interests there it is evident that he never had an actual 
 residence in Rhode Island. 
 
 The Diary of Thomas Minor notes, under June 19, 1661, 
 that Mr. Kichardson's house was raised and on June 22, 1663, 
 that his son was to finish it that day. 
 
 Amos Richardson was one of the most active members of 
 the so-called Atherton Company later called the Narragansett 
 Company, and he must have taken a leading part in the or- 
 ganization of it. This is evident from the following letter : 
 
 Boston, July 9, 1659. 
 
 To the much -honored John Winthrop, Esq., 
 
 Governor of Connecticut Colony, at Hartford, this present : 
 
 Honored Sir, — After my service presented unto yourself 
 and Mrs. Winthrop, and all yours for whose absence I was 
 troubled that I did so unhappily to delay one day too long in my 
 coming to ISTew London, so that I could not speak with you 
 there, I had thoughts to come up to Hartford ; but the weather 
 being so hot, I darest neither venture myself nor my horse. Sir, 
 you may remember, when I spoke with you last at !New London, 
 I gave you a hint of my intents concerning the Narragancet 
 country, which business, as I conceive, is fully effected with the 
 chief sachem. 
 
 The quantity, as T judge, is twelve mile alongst in ISTar- 
 ragancet Bay. The trading-house being in the middle, it judged 
 to be the only place in the country for a plantation. There are 
 at present seven purchasers besides yourself. The purchase hath 
 cost six score pound. Many there is that would willingly join 
 in it ; but Ave shall do nothing before we speak with you, yourself 
 being mentioned first in the purchase. 
 
 Those that are concerned in it is Major Adderton, Mr. 
 Smith and his son, Lieut. Hudson, Captain Hutchinson, Mr. 
 Tinker and myself. But if this come once to be settled, it will 
 make Quinnebawge of greater value. 
 
 As concerning our friends at Wennam, Mr. Newman was 
 here the last week ; but Mr. Mygate hath been there since, who 
 can inform you concerning their health. As for news I have 
 
14 
 
 got not any at present, only things are pretty sad in regard of 
 old Mr. Duncome in respect of bis last losses disenables bim of 
 satisfying bis creditors. Tbey now coming upon bim forcetb 
 bim to leave off bis dealings, and I doubt bis son in the same 
 condition ; so by this we may see the vmcertainty of these out- 
 ward things. Thus I rest yours to command, 
 
 Amos Richerdson. 
 
 Sir, I would entreat you to remember my service to Mr. 
 Stone. 
 
 The grant to the Atherton Company was in the present town 
 of North King-ston, R. I., in the ]**J^arragansett territory which 
 was claimed by Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, 
 and the disputed claims to o^vnersbip were not settled for more 
 than fifty years. 
 
 Between the colonics of Connecticut and Rhode Island a 
 bitter controversy was carried on which at times nearly re- 
 sulted in open warfare. Mr. Richardson had other large landed 
 interests in the disputed territory, and was very active in press- 
 ing the claims of Connecticut, probably more so than any other 
 man in the colony. 
 
 ^fajor John IMason, the noted Indian fighter, seems to have 
 opposed the action of his colony, probably on account of his 
 friendship for Roger Williams. This so exasperated Amos 
 Richardson that he publicly denounced him as a traitor to the 
 colony. 
 
 In IfiYO Mason sued bim for d^efamation of character and 
 appealed to the General Court for the appointment of a commit- 
 tee to investigate the charge. He secured a judgment for 100 
 pounds damages in the Comity Court, luit the case was appealed 
 and bof(tre further action l\rnson died, which ended the matter. 
 
 In lfi77, Amos Richardson sold 180 acres of land situated 
 on the east side of the Pawtucket River, to Thomas Wells, who 
 afrreed in payment to build a vessel of fifty tons. This land was 
 located in the disputed territory, and in IfiYO Wells refused to 
 fulfil hi= contract until Mr. Richardson should make cfood the 
 tillf to the land. 
 
 In March, IfiSO, suit was brought against Wells for 300 
 pounds damages and he was arrested at Westerly by Stephen 
 Richardson, the plaintiff's son, a constable from Stonington. 
 
15 
 
 Early in July following Stephen Richardson was seized at 
 his home by warrant of Governor Sanford of Rhode Island for 
 making this arrest, and carried to ISTewport. A sharp letter from 
 the Connecticut Council followed, demanding his release and 
 for peace sake agreeing not to meddle on the east side of Paw- 
 tucket River till the matter was decided in England. 
 
 The Governor replied, giving the reason for the arrest and 
 retaining the prisoner for trial. The Council issued a formal 
 protest against the conduct of Rhode Island and in retaliation 
 caused the arrest of Joseph Clarke, of Westerly, on July 21. 
 
 Stephen Richardson was held by the Rhode Island author- 
 ities for about three months and in October released. A full 
 account of this affair is given in Connecticut Colonial Records 
 for 1687, paOTS 286-29l/ 
 
 Amos Richardson was not a member of the church, either 
 in Boston or Stonington, and that is probably the reason for his 
 not beins: made a freeman until May, 1665. His wife united 
 with the Eirst Church in Boston, December 2(5, 1647, when her 
 second child, John, was 28 days of age. The celebrated John 
 Cotton was the minister at this time, and all of her children were 
 baptized by him, in her right. At Stonington she was an 
 original member of the church and attended the first communion 
 service September 10, 1674. 
 
 Amos Richardson appears to have been a religious man; 
 he educated his eldest son for the ministry at Harvard College. 
 Wlien this son was married he was so pleased that he gave him 
 a farm of a thousand acres at Stonington. 
 
 The following Instrument was signed and recorded at Boston by 
 Amos Richardson, October 12, 1673. "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 intends marriage, I therefore thought good to signify unto 
 him and to all whom it may concern that for his future comfortable 
 subsistance. I do hereby under my hand declare that after my de- 
 cease and my wife, yt all that farm called Quanaduck farm which now 
 I live upon with all the appurtenances of houses and land and com- 
 monage, shall belong to my son, John Richardson, aforesaid 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 said farm 
 except it be for the settling of an estate upon my son ye said John 
 Richardson to his acceptance in some other place, as witness my hand."

 In both of the published letters from him to Governor 
 Winthrop at Hartford he sends his regards to the Rev. Samuel 
 Stone. For a number of years they had no way of heating the 
 church at Stonington, and during the winter months the Sim- 
 day services and other church meetings were often held at the 
 residence of Amos Richardson, situated a little east of the 
 meeting house and probably a large house.* 
 
 Jolm Gore of Roxbury, by his will in 1657, appoints John 
 Pierpont, Phillip Eliot, and Amos Richardson executors, and 
 c^lls them "my beloved brotheren." 
 
 Amos Richardson was a man of great force of character and 
 of untiring energy. He had a number of controversies, but there 
 is nothing to show that he was unreasonable in enforcing his 
 rights. 
 
 He was a deputy from Stonington to the Connecticut Gen- 
 eral Court from 1676 to 1681 and was honored with other public 
 offices. It is clear that he was held in great esteem by the Win- 
 throp family. The following letter was from Governor John 
 Winthrop. the younger: 
 
 (Hartford), Sept. 25, 1673. 
 
 Loving Friend; Mr. Amos Richardson. — Mr. Jonathan Gilbert 
 spake to me of your desires of accommodating you some land, neer 
 the river of Pacatuck adioying to your land there, for the convenience 
 of your son, who maried his daughter, for setting his house there. 
 I though fitt therefore to certify you heerby that I shall willingly, 
 and freely accommodate you therein, according to such right or inter- 
 est as I have therein in resignation thereof to yourselfe: and there- 
 fore you may goe on in yt building, for your son there as is intended, 
 not doubting of any kindnesse yt I can doe for your convenience 
 therein. The oportunity is hasted, and therefore shall only add my 
 loving remebrance to yourselfe & your wife, with your son & daughters, 
 & am Your assured friend, 
 
 J. WINTHROP.

 (perhaps Oct. 7), to Governor Winthrop at Hartford. 
 
 "The enclosed is a coppy of the record of the grant by the towns- 
 men for the piece of land and priuiliges of Pacatack riuer, w'ch Mr. 
 R. told me you ordered me to send vp. I suppose the designe is to lay

 John Winthrop, Jr., at his lodgings in Coleman Street, London. 
 
 "If y'r occasions shall draw you to Boston, I pray you commend 
 my love and service to my sister Norton, to Mr. Endlcot & his lady, 
 to honest Mr. Richardson & his wife, and to all such who shall enquire

 Christopher Gardyner at Boston, July 2, 1656, to John 
 Winthrop, Jr., at Pequitt: 
 
 Sir: — "I cannott but returne you most humble thanks for yr 
 favours and civilities both in yr usage of us your selfe, and in yr re- 
 comendation of us to honest Mr. Richardson, who has indeed expressed 
 much kindness to us and as becomes one who does much honour

 Winthrop, Jr. 
 
 Sr: — "I thank you much for your great care of my troublesome 
 small business, and I question not but Mr. Richardsonn hath done his

 letter you sent was a kinde letter from him, but he mentions nothing 
 of hopes to mende my bargin." 
 
 William Cheseborough, Avho died in Juue, 1667, by his will 
 speaks of Kev. James Xoves and Amos Richardson as "my 
 truly and well-beloved friends.'' 
 
 A large part of the collection of manuscripts known as the 
 "Winthrop Papers" has never been printed. They belong to 
 the estate of the late Robert C. Winthrop, Jr., of Boston, who 
 died on June 5, 1905, leaving them by his mil to the Massachu- 
 setts Historical Society. In 1895 Mr. Winthrop gave the 
 author the following information concerning the letters of Amos 
 Richardson in this collection: "In looking through the unpub- 
 lished MSS in my possession I find (if I have counted correctly) 
 fifty-one letters of Amos Richardson. A number of them are 
 without date and some are badly torn. Of those bearing dates, 
 the earliest is November 10, 1648, the latest October 14, 1674. 
 
 "They chiefly relate to matters of business, either business 
 in which the writer was acting for members of the Winthrop 
 family or business in which he was interested with them. He 
 appears to have been a person in whom Governor John Win- 
 throp, the younger, had great confidence. So far as I have found 
 time to partially decipher them I should say that reference to 
 l)ublic affairs are few in comparison and I have not happened 
 to notice a single allusion to the writer's family. 
 
 "The letter of September 13, 1659, mentioned by Mr. 
 Savage, is not among them. There is a memorandum 'one taken 
 out' in my father's hand, but it evidently refers to the one he 
 gave yon. 
 
 "To thoroughly decipher the whole fifty-one letters would 
 be the work of an expert with a magnifying glass for many days, 
 and I could not undertake it nor could I at present suffer anyone 
 else to do so. 
 
 "In addition there is one letfer from Mary Richardson, 
 dated February 18, 1672, and four from Rev. John Richardson, 
 of TTewburv, l'677-1693." 
 
19 
 
 In 1878, the Hon. Robert C. Wintlirop presented the author 
 of this sketch with an original letter from this collection. It was 
 written to Governor John Winthrop, the younger, at Hartford, 
 and indorsed on the back with the name of tlie ^vriter, by 
 Governor Winthrop. The writing is still plain and legible. 
 
 Boston, Tebruary, day the 2, 1659. 
 
 Hounoured Sir, after my service presented to you and 
 ^P Winthrop, by this you may be pleased to understand I have 
 received yours by Edward Messenger, by which we understand 
 of your good health, for which we rejoice. 
 
 Sir, kere is a ship lately come from England, heavy laden 
 with sad newse, the particulars I doubt not but you will have 
 by better inteligence.* I have only sent you a coppy of a letter 
 by Edward Messenger, which came out of England, and you 
 may inform yourself of some newse. 
 
 Sir, my emest desire is that you would persuade M^ Erits 
 to return home.:}: Concerning the farme, the court referred it to 
 a Comitty, but as yet hath done nothing, for our friends at 
 Wennam, I know nothing but they are all in good health, this 
 with my service presented to yourself, M^ Winthrop, M^ I>iicy 
 and M^ Marget and to all the rest of the Gentlewomen, my 
 service also to M^ Stone. 
 
 Yours to serve, 
 
 Amos Richardson. 
 
 Amos Richardson died August 5, 1683, at his residence, 
 "Quiambog Earm," Stonington. 
 
 Thomas Minor notes in his Diarv: "mr. Richardson sent 
 ffor mee sabath day the ffift about one a clok in that mr. Richard- 
 son departed this life." Also on the 17th following: "mistris 
 Richardson made her will." 
 
 *The "sad newse" was concerning the overthrow of the English 
 Commonwealth and restoration of the Stuarts. 
 
 :f:"Mr. Frits" means young Fitz John Winthrop, son of Gov. Win- 
 throp, at that time a Cromwell officer in Scotland, and some years 
 after himself Governor of Connecticut.

 His wife was appointed bj his will as sole executrix, but she 
 died early in the following month, and their sons, Stephen and 
 Samuel, were appointed executors. f Both wills were probated 
 bv the General Court in 1683. 
 
 Amos Kichardson's residence was located two miles north- 
 west of the railroad station at Stonington, on what is now called 
 Palmer's Hill. The exact location of his house cannot be de- 
 termined, but it was probably five or six hundred feet south of 
 the residence of Henry M. Pahner and it was the opinion of 
 Judge Wheeler that part of the framework was used in build- 
 ing the Palmer house. 
 
 This is the highest elevation for some miles around and 
 from it a beautiful landscape is presented to every point of 
 view. Lantern Hill is fifteen miles north, and Pequot Hill, 
 where the state erected a monument to commemorate the over- 
 throw in 1637 of the Pequot Indians, is about three miles west. 
 To the south is Fisher's Island, and beyond it, twenty miles 
 away, stands the far-famed lighthouse at Montauk Point. To 
 the southeast, overlooking Stonington and Stonington Harbor, 
 may be seen Watch Hill and Point Judith, and still further 
 away, almost lost to view, lies the storm-beaten coast of Block 
 Island. 
 
 The Quiambog farm of Amos Richardson is now the site 
 of many beautiful homes, notably those of Mr. Charles Phelps 
 Williams and Judge Collins, which are adorned with marked 
 evidence of wealth and culture. After this farm became the 
 property of his son-in-law, Capt. John Hallam, a new house 
 which is still standing was erected on it about a mile nearer the 
 harbor. This old Hallam house has been remodeled by Judge 
 Gilbert Collins, of Jersey City, and is now his summer home. 
 
 Amos and Mary Richardson had eight children : 
 1. Mx\Ry, born at Boston, probably in 1644 or 45, and baptized 
 there November 26, 1647. 
 In June, 1663, she married Jonathan Gatliffe, of 
 
 Braintree and Boston, Mariner. 
 Children: Jonathan, born about 1664; Mary, Dec. 
 14, 1665; Thomas, Feb'y 10, 1670; Joseph, 
 Feb'y 15, 1673, and John, baptized Dec. 15, 
 1673.

 Her father gave them a house and lot in Boston and 
 200 acres of land in Stonington, November 13, 
 1673. This property was not to be sold except to 
 redeem him from slavery if he should be taken 
 captive or to relieve his family in extreme dis- 
 tress. 
 
 Jonathan Gatliffe died about February 1, 1675, as his will 
 was dated January 28th and the inventory February 15th of 
 that year. He left two sons, Jonathan and Thomas, of whom 
 Arthur Mason and John Fairweather were the overseers. His 
 widow probably married a Mr. Starr, who, in August, 1678, is 
 called Mr. Richardson's son-in-law. :j: He apparently was the 
 captain of a boat nmning between Boston and New London. 
 Perhaps he was Jehosaphat Starr. 
 
 She died probably in the month of August, 1681, as the 
 inventory taken after her decease of the household goods belong- 
 ing to her sons by Gatliffe was dated September 2nd, 1681. This 
 property was purchased by Timothy Clarke, her brother-in-law. 
 
 Eev. JOHN RICHARDSON. 
 2. JOHN, son of Amos and ^lary Richardson, born October 28, 
 1647, and baptized December 26, 1647. 
 He gi'aduated at Harvard College in 1666 as M. A., 
 became a Tutor or Resident Fellow of the Col- 
 lege, and was mentioned for Fellow in the in- 
 tended charter of 1672. At the beginning of the 
 difficulties with President Hoar he was absent 
 and at the meeting held August 26, 1673, the 
 Corporation voted to take no action until Mr. 
 Richardson was present; he was then on a visit 
 to Connecticut. After his return he with other=; 
 resigned, thus leaving the President without sup- 
 port and the Corporation without a quorum. 
 He may not have agreed in all respects with the opponents 
 of Mr. Hoar ; for Judge Sewell. in relation to these difficulties, 
 writes, October 16, 1674: "By Mr. Richardson's means I was 
 called upon to speak. The sum of my speech was that the causes 
 of the lownes of the College were external as well as internal."*

 Prior to this, April 16, 1673, he was called as Minister of 
 the First Church of Newbury, Mass., and settled there December 
 6, 1674, where he was Minister for twenty -one years. The fam- 
 ily name of his wife Mary has not been discovered. They were 
 married about October, 1673. He preached the Artillery Elec- 
 tion Sermon at Boston on June 10, 1675, and again in June, 
 1681. The latter was printed if not the former. His children 
 
 were Sarah, born September 9, 1674, John , Mary, July 
 
 22, 1677, Elizabeth, April 29, 1689, and Catharine, September 
 15, 1681. 
 
 His will, dated March 29, 1692, left his property to his 
 wife, except a small legacy to each of the above-named children. 
 It refers to his farm and lands "that lye in Stonington or in 
 ye Confines of any To\^ti in Connecticut Colony or else where." 
 The witnesses were Daniel Peirce and Thomas l^oyes. 
 
 JSTothing more is known of his wife or children. He died at 
 Newbury, July 23, 1696 ; his gravestone at ISTewburyport has 
 this inscription : 
 
 "A resurrection to immortality is liere expected for what was 
 mortal of the Reverend Mr. John Richardson, once fellow of Harvard 
 College, afterwards teacher to the Church of Newbury. 
 
 Put off April 7, 1696." 
 
 3. AMOS, son of Amos and Mary Richardson, baptized Janu- 
 
 ary 20, 1650, probably died young, as there is no 
 other account of him. 
 
 4. STEPHEN, son of Amos and Mary Richardson, was bom 
 
 June 14, 1652. He married Lydia, daughter of 
 Jonathan and Mary (Wells) Gilbert and resided 
 at Stonington, where he was a man of note. See 
 second generation following for full account. 
 
 5. CATHARINE, daughter of Amos and Maiy Richardson, 
 
 born January 6, 1655. She married first Captain 
 David Anderson, of Charlestown, Mass., Septem- 
 ber 12, 1671. On November 12, 1671, Amos 
 Richardson and Mary, his wife, of Stonington, 
 made a deed of gift to their daughter Catharine 
 Anderson, of land and a dwelling house in Boston, 
 and a tract of land in the Narragans^tt country. 
 Children: John, born July 14, 1675, died young; David, 
 bom May 16, 1677, and married by the Rev. Samuel Willard to 
 
23 
 
 Hannah Philips on January 5, before 1700. The year is un- 
 known. Captan Anderson was master of the ship "Blessing," 
 and died on his way home from London in May, 1677. She 
 married for the second time Captain Richard Sprague, May 7, 
 1679. He was an officer of distinction in the Dutch War of 
 1674. They probably had no children. She died July 23, 
 1701. 
 
 6. SARAH, daughter of Amos and Mary Richardson, born 
 
 July 19, 1657. She married Timothy Clarke, of 
 Boston, Mariner. Captain Clarke was a man of 
 some note and was selectman for a number of 
 years after 1700. 
 
 Children: Katherine and Sarah, born April 6, 
 1687; Sarah, October 18, 1691; Margaret, April 
 4, 1697, and Prudence, December 31, 1698. 
 
 On September 11, 1679, her father gave them the 
 Winthrop lot previously mentioned. 
 
 7. SAMUEL, son of Amos and Mary Richardson, born Febru- 
 
 ary 18, 1659. He married Anna Cheseborough, 
 daughter of ITathaniel and Hannah, of Stoning- 
 ton, 1693. He was elected a Selectman in 1706. 
 The History of Stoning-ton gives his name in a list of men 
 who served in Indian wars. He died in 1712-3, his will being 
 dated January 27th and probated March 10 of that year.* 
 Children: Samuel, born February 9, 1686, died 1688; Anna, 
 born ISTovember 12, 1688, married William Avery, and had 
 five children; Prudence, born September 10, 1690, married 
 George Plumb, and had two children; Samuel, born April 7, 
 1693, died 1695; Hannah, born August 30, 1695, married

 Joshua Holmes, and had ten children. 
 
 8. PRUDEISTCE, daughter of Amos and Mary Richardson, 
 
 born January 31, 1661-2. She first married 
 March 15, 1683, John Hallam, a sea captain and

 merchant, who resided in Stonington, where he 
 died IsToveniber 20, 1700. In 1692 the Eev. 
 John Richardson, of ISTewbiuy, his brother-in- 
 Liw, leased to liim in peq)etiiitj a tlioiisand acres 
 of land for the consideration of five shillings and 
 an annual rent of one peppercorn. This was the 
 former home of her father. 
 
 "Captain Hallam's possessions w^ere large and his inven- 
 tory gives evidence of a style of dress and housekeeping more ex- 
 pensive and showy than was common in those days. 
 
 ''It contains silver-plate, mantle and coat of broadcloth, 
 lined with silk, seventeen horse kind, four negro servants, &c.*" 
 
 Shortly before the arrest of Capt. Kidd in the autumn of 
 1699, two of his men are said to have visited Capt. Hallam; 
 this threw suspicion on him so that he was required to give 
 a bond the exact nature of which is unknown. Hallam died a 
 few months later and this bond was subsequently in the posses- 
 sion of his family for a number of generations. 
 
 Many years ago Dr. George D. Stanton, of Stonington, ob- 
 tained the bond, and later gave it or loaned it to the late Judge 
 Wheeler. It is now unknown what has become of it. 
 
 Children: John, born 1684, died young; Prudence, bap- 
 tized April 18, 1686, died 1701; Amos, November 20, 1687, 
 died young; John, April 13, 1690; Amos, July 6, 1696. 
 
 Amos Hallam married Phebe Greenman and had Prudence, 
 September 22, 1717; John ,November 7, 1719, and Phebe, Au- 
 gust 13, 1722. 
 
 The last named John married Abigail Noyes, daughter of 
 Capt. Thomas, and had Amos, August 26, 1738, who graduated 
 at Yale in 1756, married Desire Stanton, daughter of Thomas, 
 and was a wealthy merchant at Stonington. Children : John, 
 Abigail, Amos, Thomas, Nicholas, Desire, Edward, Alexander 
 and Giles Russell. 
 
 Prudence, widow of John Hallam, married second El- 
 nathan Minor, a man of note at Stonington, They had one son :

 Eev. KICHARDSOiT MINOR. 
 
 Richardson Minor was baptized at Stonington, February 
 25, 1705, graduated at Yale College in 1726, married Elizabeth 
 Munson and had ten children. He was the Congregational 
 minister at Unity (now Trumbull), and also a popular physician 
 in a number of towns, including Stratford. During the Great 
 Awakening of 1740 he became the leader in Fairfield County of 
 a strong party in his denomination who opposed this movement, 
 or at least much of the Calvin theology. 
 
 Efforts were made to have Mr. Cold, the minister at Strat- 
 ford, dismissed and Mr. Minor called in his place. However, in 
 1744, before this question was settled, his name was dropped at 
 his own request and he joined the Episcopal church with a large 
 number of his followers. He then went to England at the ex- 
 pense of his friends to take orders as minister of the Episcopal 
 church at Stamford. During the voyage he was captured by the 
 French and taken to France. After his release, on his way to 
 London, he was stricken with a fever and died at Salisbury, 
 probably in the latter part of 1744. His widow died at IS'ew 
 Haven in 1751. Their daughter, Henrietta, born 1728, mar- 
 ried John Miles, of New Haven, Prudence, the second daugh- 
 ter, born 1729, married Philip Benjamin. The other children 
 were younger and their names are unknown, f 
 
 In 1833 Richardson Minor (aged 80) was a Massachusetts 
 Revolutionary pensioner, residing in Franklin Co. Perhaps he 
 was a grandson of Rev. Richardson Minor.

 ates. 
 
SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 STEPHEN RICHARDSON. 
 
 STEPHEN KICHAKDSON, son of Amos and Mary, 
 was born in Boston, June 14, and baptized June 20, 
 1652, at the First Church (now Congregational Uni- 
 tarian). On December 29, 1670, his name appears 
 in the list of inhabitants at Stonington who had house lots, he 
 then being only a little over eighteen years of age. 
 
 He married Lydia, daughter of Jonathan and Mary 
 (Wells) Gilbert* before September 25, 1673, probably during 
 that year. This is shown by tlie letter of that date from Governor 
 Winthrop, before given on page 16. 
 
 He was well acquainted with the Indian language and w^as 
 often employed as an interpreter. 
 
 He served in King Phillip's War in 1675-6 at the time of 
 the Great Swamp Eight, and was one of the soldiers who shared 
 in the Vol unto wn grant made by the State in 1696. He was 
 probably the Quartermaster for the Connecticut troops. On 
 May 18, 1676, the Colonial Council authorized him to sell arms 
 in his possession in part payment for his services. Minor's 
 Diary, December 15, 1675, says: "Coneticut Armie Set forth 
 from mr. Pichardsons," and June, 1676, "Thursday, the 15, 
 wee were to meet all the soldiers at steeven Pichardsons house." 
 He was made a freeman in 1679. After his imprisonment by 
 Rhode Island in the summer of 1680, previously referred to, he 
 presented a claim to the General Court for damages. In 1687 
 he was a representative from Stonington to the General Court. 
 
 ♦Jonathan Gilbert was a prominent man at Hartford and Marshal 
 of the Colony. In 1654 he visited Ninigrate, the famous Chief of the 
 Pequots, and made demands for the Commissioners of the United 
 Colonies, returning to Hartford on Sept. 18, with Ninigrate's answer. 
 Trumbell's History, I, 222. 
 
 This shows that he was regarded as a very brave and discreet man. 
 
 For Gilbert Family see Appendix A.

 iSIile's History is authority for the statement that in July, 
 liiSd, "Mr. Stephen Richardson shot dead on the sjjot one 
 William Trimming, a notorious English decoy in the service of 
 the French privateers." Trimming had secreted himself in a 
 house on Fisher's Island, and Richardson, with sixteen other 
 men, went there to capture him. He was censured by some for 
 his action, as they wanted to take him alive. 
 
 Stephen Richardson resided on the Connecticut side of the 
 Pawcatuck River at Westerly. The railroad must cross very 
 near to where his house was located. 
 
 It is about five miles east of his father's home. This land 
 Amos Richardson purchased in 1663 ; it is the property referred 
 to by Governor Winthrop and Fitz John Winthrop in 1673; it 
 extended along the river for nearly a mile. 
 
 He must have died about 1691, as his widow signed a deed 
 on July 1, 1695, in which she is described as "Lydia Relict of 
 Mr. Steven Richardson being Executor of my honored husbands 
 will and in full power by Act of ISTew London Court and having 
 Libertie by my husbands will." 
 
 The following deed to her son Jonathan was dated August 
 10, 1696. "Let all men know that I Lydia Richardson Relict 
 0^ ye late Steven Richardson of Stonington Do for ye Incoureg- 
 ment of my son Jonathan for his present settling with me upon 
 that Land which was given him by his Honorred father after my 
 decease I say I do by these and att this Present Give him ye one 
 half of all the houseing & ye Lands belonging to ye home place 
 and that adjoining on ye South side of it which was given to

 The will of Mary Gilbert (widow of Jonathan), dated 
 May 23, 1700, shows that her daughter, Mrs. Lydia Richardson, 
 
28 
 
 had a second husband named Chapman, perhaps Richard Chap- 
 man, although Savage suggests William. 
 
 At the Probate Court, !N'ew London, June 3, 1703, Mrs. 
 Lvdia Chapman exhibited a deed of gift of lands left her by the 
 will of her deceased husband, Mr. Stephen Richardson, late of 
 Stonington, to her three daughters, Mary Carder, Rachel Rich- 
 ardson and Jemima Richardson. 
 
 Stephen and Lydia (Gilbert) Richardson had at least nine 
 children, and it is supposed that he was the only one of his 
 family to leave de^scendants in the male line. The following is 
 an account of their children : 
 
 1. JONATHAN", son of Stephen and Lydia Richardson, bom 
 
 probably in 1674. He married Ann Edwards. 
 See third generation for further account. 
 
 2. STEPHEN", son of Stephen and Lydia, Richardson, was 
 
 bapt. at Stonington June 19, 1681, with Mary 
 and Amos. It may be conjectured that he was 
 born about 1676, as the record of baptism prob- 
 ably names the three children in the order of 
 their ages. He married first Joanna ]\[inor, 
 
 daughter of Joseph, of Stonington. She joined the church there 
 in 1702. They had a son Stephen, bapt. July 10, 1715, of 
 whom nothing more is known. Second, he married Abigail 
 Pelham at Newport, R. I., March 25, 1728. She joined the 
 church at Stonington in 1733. They had a son David bapt. 
 April 6, 1729. 
 
 In 1726, Stephen Richardson was chosen to assist in a 
 council at V^luntown in a difference between Pastor and 
 church. He was a Selectman for the town for a number of 
 years and in 1719 was elected a Representative to the General 
 Court. He owned a number of slaves. In 1742 his negro 
 servant, Peter, was baptized. ''Crump, negro servant of 
 Stephen Richardson, married Deborah, Indian servant of Jona- 
 than Richardson," 1739. 
 
 In January, 1745, he moved to Lebanon, Connecticut, 
 
29 
 
 and, with his slave Peter,* united with the church there by 
 letter from Stonington. He died at Lebanon, August 11, 1749. 
 His son David married Rachel Richardson, a daughter of his 
 cousin Amos of Coventry, October 28, 1747. Their children 
 born at Lebanon were Rachel, July 23, 1748 ; Abigail, Feb. 1, 
 1751 ; Stephen, May 1, 1752 ; Betty, March 21, 1754, (married 
 at Somers, Daniel Benton, of Tolland, Feb. 18, 1779) ; Annis, 
 bapt. Dec. 14, 1755 ; David, bapt. Jan. 23, 1757, (married Eu- 
 nice Wood, at Somers, Nov. 30„ 1780.) She died at Enfield, 
 Cbnn., Oct. 22, 1784, in her 28th year, according to her tomb- 
 stone. He married second Sarah Hudson, at Somers, June 15, 
 1785. He sei'ved in the Revolutionary war from that to^VIl. It 
 is not known when the family moved to Somers and Enfield, 
 which are adjoining towns. There Avas another son, Daniel, who 
 erected a monument over the graves of his parents at Enfield, 
 "In memory of Mr. David Richardson who died Aug. 5th, 1811, 
 in his 83d year. Also Mrs. Rachel his consort who died Jan. 
 13th, 1807, in her 79th year. This monument was procured by 
 their son Daniel Richardson May 20th, 1817." There was a 
 Daniel Richardson, who ser\"ed in the Revolution from Wind- 
 ham County. 
 
 3. MARY, daughter of Stephen and Lydia Richardson, bapt. 
 
 June 19, 1681. She married Richard Carder in 
 January, 1700. He was lost at sea in 1707. 
 Children: Mary, bomi Sept. 29, 1700; Lydia, 
 bom Aug. 2, 1702; Rachel, bom Sept. 4, 1704. 
 
 4. AMOS, son of Stephen and Lydia Richardson, bapt. June 
 
 19, 1681. In 1683 his grandfather Richardson 
 left him a farm on the east side of the Pawcatuck 
 River, then occupied by Mr. Wells. He prob- 
 ably died young. 
 
 *In December, 1754, Peter was convicted of passing counterfeit bills 
 of credit which another slave had forged. He is described as "one 
 Peter, a negro man, late servant to Mr. Richardson, late of Lebanon, 
 now deceased." In January, 1755, the Assembly allowed David Richard- 
 son of Lebanon, by paying the cost of prosecution and confinement to 
 take him from prison "and that the said Peter, serve him, said Richard- 
 son, his heirs and assigns, to the day of the death of said Peter, and 
 by him and them to be kept within the bounds of said Lebanon."

 5. SAMUEL, son of Stephen and Lydia Richardson, was bapt 
 
 March 18, 1683, married Sarah Stanton. 
 Children: Sarah, bapt. JSTov. 3, 173-1; Mary, 
 bapt. May 16, 1736; Mehitable, bapt. Feb. 26, 
 1738. 
 He died in 1755 and his widow with Capt Gideon Brainard 
 was authorized by the Assembly to sell his lands. 
 
 The daughter Sarah married Gideon Brainard, Jr., June 
 7, 1753. 
 
 6. RACHEL, daughter of Stephen and Lydia Richardson, 
 
 bapt. May 30, 1686. She w^as unmarried in 1703. ' 
 
 7. LEMUEL, son of Stephen and Lydia Richardson, bapt. Aug. 
 
 12, 1688. He married Mehitable, daughter of 
 Capt. John Chapman, of Haddam, Conn., Dec. 
 15, 1709. They united with the church at Ston- 
 ing-ton in 1710, and he died at East Haddam, 
 May 24, 1713, probably having resided there but 
 
 a short time, as in 1712 when his father-in-laVs estate was 
 
 settled, he is called "of Stonington."** 
 
 He left property at Stonington and East Haddam.* Their 
 
 four children were : 
 
 i. MEHITABLE, bapt. at Stonington, March 26, 1710. 
 
 ii. SAMUEL, bapt. at Stonington, May 27, 1711, was prob- 
 ably the eldest son, as his father left him twenty pounds 
 more than he gave his brother. He married, according to 
 family tradition, Pauline or Polly Whitney. He had two 
 children and there may have been others. 
 
 (1) Stanton, born at Haddam, Jan. 10, 1755, was 
 presumably the Stanton Richardson who served in the Revo- 
 lution from Wallingford. 
 
 (2) Lemuel, born in 1761, served in the Revolution 
 in the First N. H. Reg., Capt. Farwell's Company. At 
 
 **His widow is presumably the Mehitable Richardson who married 
 John Warner at East Haddam, March 21, 1716, and had eight children 
 recorded there.

 the time of his enlistment at Charlestown, IST. H., in 1779, 
 his ag-e was given as 18, birthplace Haddam, Conn., height 
 5 feet 6^ inches, and residence Westminster, Vt. He mar- 
 ried Jeriisha Hedges and had a son, Samuel, born in ISTorth- 
 field, Vt., Sept. 26, 1801, who married Catherine J. Val- 
 leau and left two children : Samuel William and Katherine 
 Phoebe, The former was born at Rochester, E". Y., April 
 19, 1850, and is an officer in the U. S. Marine Hospital 
 Service, stationed at Wilmington, iN". C. He married 
 Emma Cornelia Butler and has a son, William Butler Rich- 
 ardson, born Jan. 21, 1880. 
 
 iii. LEMUEL, date of birth or bapt. unknown. He is named 
 in his father's will and died March 9, 1722. 
 
 iv. STEPHEN, born in 1713, not mentioned in his father's 
 will, probably born after his death. 
 
 8. JEMIMA, daughter of Stephen and Lydia Richardson, 
 
 bapt'. June 19, 1692 ; married first, Green Hun- 
 gerford, of East Haddam ; second, Matthew Ful- 
 ler. Her children by the former were Lydia, 
 born Dec. 1712; Sarah, Dec. 29, 1714; Pru- 
 dence, Jan. 18, 1716; Green, Jan. 4, 1718; 
 Mary, Dec. 26, 1720; Rachel, Oct. 12, 1722; Lydia, Dec. 30, 
 1724 ; Stephen, May 1, 1726 ; Hester, May 22, 1728 ; Elizabeth, 
 Jan. 25, 1730 ; Lemuel and Nathaniel, May 23, 1733. 
 
 9. NATHANIEL, no record of baptism. All that is known 
 
 about him is the mention made in the deed from 
 his mother to Jonathan in 1696. He probably 
 died after his father. 
 
THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 JONATHAN RICHARDSON. 
 
 JOXATIIAX EICHAEDSOX, son of Stephen and Lydia 
 (Gilbert) Richardson, was born before September 10, 
 1674, the date of Jonathan Gilbert's will, probably at 
 Stonington in that year, Plis parents most likely had 
 been married only a short time when the Winthrop letter was 
 written, September 25, 1673. He was named for his grand- 
 father, Jonathan Gilbert, J who mentions him in his will: "I 
 give to my daughter Lydia Richelson 20 shillings." ''I give my 
 grand child Jonathan Richelson 5 pounds." There is no record 
 of his baptism as there were no church records kept at Stoning- 
 ton prior to June 3, 1674. 
 
 The Rev. James Noyes had been holding regular services 
 there for ten years, being paid by the town ; but no church 
 organization was formed until that year.* 
 
 He married in 1696 Ann Edwards,** daughter of Richard 
 and Elizabeth (Tuttle) Edwards, of Hartford, and they resided 
 at the homestead on the Pawcatuck River. He died May 7, 1700, 
 and the inventory of his estate shows that he owned the home- 
 stead, except that his mother had a life estate in one-half of it. 
 Also that he had a right in lands at "Quanabooge" (Quiambog). 
 The inventory taken May 23, 1700, states that he left a "widow 
 and two children Jonathan and Amos the eldest two years and 
 an half ould the youngest half a year." "Mrs. An Richardson 
 made oath that she had made a true exhibition of his estate." 
 
 J Governor Jonathan Belcher of Massachusetts was another grand- 
 child named for him. 
 
 ♦Wheeler's history of the First Congregational Church, Ston- 
 ington. 
 
 =-*Jonathan Edwards, the distinguished divine, was her nephew. 
 
 For Edwards Family see Appendix B. 
 
 32 
 
33 
 
 The inventory shows that he was not a slaveholder, as his 
 uncle, Captain Hallam, was, and as some of the Richardson 
 family were later. 
 
 On May 23, sixteen days after his death, his grandmother 
 Gilbert made her will at Hartford, which contained these pro- 
 visions : ''And further the l/7th part of the l/5th part legacy 
 here given unto Lydia Chapman shall be paid to the sons of my 
 late grand son Jonathan Richelson dec^ when they attain the 
 age of 21. * * * And my mind and will is that the rest 
 of the fifth part Legacy given to my daughter Lydia, not other- 
 wise disposed of to the heirs of the late Jonathan Richelson 
 dec^, shall be equally divided amongst the children of my said 
 daughter Lydia, which she had by her husband Richardson 
 dec^, minors." It should be noted that the Christian name of 
 Lydia Chapman's first husband, Richardson, is not mentioned. 
 The author of the Gilbert Family* was apparently misled by 
 this will into supposing that Lydia Gilbert married Jonathan 
 Richardson, and others, including the Richardson Memorial, 
 and even Savage's Dictionary, made the same error. 
 
 The children of Jonathan and Ann (Edwards) Richard- 
 son were both baptized in the First Church at Hartford. The 
 records of baptism are: "Jonathan son to Jonathan Richard- 
 son K'ov. 21, 1697," and "Amos June 23, 1700 son to Widowe 
 Richardson." 
 
 In 1702 Mrs. Ann Richardson became the wife of William 
 Davenport of Hartford. | By a former wife he had one child 
 only, William. They moved to Stonington before 1708, and 
 from there to Coventry after 1718. Mr. Davenport died in 
 Coventry, 1742, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. His 
 widow Ann was born in Hartford in 1678, died in Coventry in 
 May, 1764. Their children were Humphrey, born 1703, mar- 
 ried Hannah Fitch, and resided in Coventry; Ann bapt. 1705, 
 married Habakuk Turner of Coventry; Elizabeth bapt. in 1708 
 at Stonington, married jSTathaniel Gove of Coventry ; Rachel 
 bapt. at Stonington 1715 ; Richard born 1716, settled in Cov- 
 entry, where he had six children by wife Alice ; Rachel bapt. in 
 Stonington in 1718.

 The two children of Jonathan and Ann (Edwards) Kich- 
 ardson were: 
 
 1. JOXATHAX, bapt. Xov. 21, 1697, was born a few days 
 before, as he was two and a half years of age in 
 May, 1700. He married Anna, danghter of Rev. 
 Salmon and Dorothy (Noyes) Treat, of Preston, 
 Conn., Oct. 25, 1721, and resided at the old home- 
 stead of his father and grandfather on the Paw- 
 tucket River, in Stonington. Joshua Hempstead notes in his 
 diary under date of Xov. 18, 1721, "I went about Stonington as 
 far as Jonathan Richardson's att Pocatuck.'' 
 
 On Oct. 13, 1728, Anna, wife of Jonathan Richardson, was 
 recommended to the church at Xorth Stonington, and on Xov. 1, 
 1730, he was allowed to commune with the church at Stonington. 
 On Dec. 6, 1739, his Indian servant, Deborah, was married to 
 Stephen Richardson's negro slave, Crump. In 1734 John 
 Denison, of Stonington, was plaintiff in a suit against Jonathan 
 Richardson, which w^as decided by the Assembly in favor of the 
 defendant. 
 
 In 1753, when the highway from Pawtucket Bridge to 
 Voluntown was laid out, his dwelling house was mentioned as 
 being in the second course after leaving the bridge, and he prob- 
 ably built the dam across the Pawtucket below the bridge in 
 company with someone on the east side of the river.* He had 
 a saw and grist mill which in 1756 he gave to his son, Salmon 
 Treat. In 1795 the latter conveyed it (or at least a part in- 
 terest) to his son George. 
 
 Salmon Treat Richardson signed a deed in February, 1810, 
 for what was probably his remaining interest in the mill prop- 
 erty or other lands adjoining. Jonathan Richardson died Xov. 
 22, 1773, aged 76,t and his wife March 17, 1777. She was 
 born Aug. 26, 1699. They had at least nine children, order of 
 birth unknown: 
 
 i. AXNA, bapt. at Stonington, Xov. 24, 1728. 
 
 *See a sketch of "Stonington and Westerly" by Richard A. 
 Wheeler, in 1886.

 ii. DOROTHY, bapt. l\ov. 24, 1728, married John Stanton, 
 and had ten children : (1) Adam, married Elizabeth Treat, 
 (2) Daniel, married Vashti Dickinson. (3) Amos, mar- , 
 ried Sarah Draper. (4) George, married Prudence Wood- 
 burn. (5) Prudence, married Ashbel Parks. (6) Anna, 
 married a Trumbull. (7) Dorothy, died unmarried. (8) 
 Maiy, married James Treat. (9) Rachel, married Samuel 
 Hajne. (10) Rebecca, married Amos Treat. 
 
 iii. JOII^^, bapt. Mav 28, 1731, married Thankful Worden, 
 
 ]Srov. 2, 1778. 
 
 iv. A]\IOS, bapt. May 28, 1731, married Sarah Kennedy Jan. » 
 15, 1778, and had a daughter Sarah, born Sept. 3, 1779. 
 His wife probably died, for he married llary Meach Nov. 
 25, 1782. 
 
 V. SALMO^T TREAT, bapt. with John and Amos, married 
 Hannah Wilkerson Aug. S, 1765, and their son George 
 Richardson, date of birth unknown, married Sarah Holmes- 
 March 30, 1795, and had seven children: Sally, born March 
 17, 1796; Hannah, March 10, 1798; George, Oct. 17, 
 1800 ; Anna, April 15, 1803 ; Stephen, Dec. 7, 1806 ; Jona- 
 than, Oct. 25, 1808, and Thankful, May 29, 1812. 
 
 Col. JAMES RICHARDSOX. 
 
 vi. JAMES, born about 1734, as according to the inscription 
 on his gravestone in North Carolina, '^Col. James Richard- 
 son died Sept. 29, 1810, aged 76 years." Nothing has been 
 learned about him from Connecticut records except that in 
 1770 Jonathan and James Richardson, of Stonington, peti- 
 tioned the Assembly in a suit against Eleazer Fitch, Jr., of 
 Windham, by which it appears that Fitch had obtained a 
 judgment against them for about 300 pounds, and that the 
 farm and dwelling house of Jonathan Richardson had been 
 taken by execution, — '^AVhen there was sufficiency of land 
 without said house, and complaining of unfairness in the 
 appraisement, also that said Fitch has received considerable 
 sums of money of James Richardson aforesaid by the hand 
 of Col. John AMiitney, which ought to be deducted out of 
 said execution." 
 
36 
 
 It appears, bj the records of the Assembly from 1761 
 to 1766, that James Richardson, of Stonington, had a con- 
 troversy with Benjamin Bancroft, of Sufficld, relating to 
 their accounts, the charter of the sloop "Gull" and merchan- 
 dize taken by Richardson to sell at Havana in 1762. Ban- 
 croft obtained a judgment for 493 pounds, which Richard- 
 son refused to pay and was imprisoned. Later he peti- 
 tioned the Assembly for a rehearing, which was granted, 
 the first judgment set aside, and a new one entered against 
 him for 132 pounds, which was settled in 1766. 
 
 The first information received by the author about Col. 
 Richardson was from a letter by the late Col. John A. Rich- 
 ardson, of Elizabethtown, ]S[. C, to Judge Wheeler in 1872. 
 It is now supplemented by further data from his cousins, 
 Mrs. Irving Robinson, of Elizabethtown, and Dr. William 
 M. Richardson, of Boardman, Fla.* 
 
 This shows that James Richardson, of Stonington, 
 was shipwrecked off Cape Hatteras, shortly before the Revo- 
 lution, while on a voyage to the West Indies with a cargo of 
 flour. Subsequently he settled on the Cape Fear River, in 
 Bladen Co., N. C. He had previously been a soldier in the 
 French and Indian war, and M^as with General Wolfe at 
 the storming of Quebec. He had a sigter Pnidence at 
 Stonington, who married a Watson or Woodburne; also a 
 brother Salmon, who was a merchant in Boston, where he 
 died. 
 
 James Richardson served in the Revolutionary war 
 and became a colonel in the American army. He had t^vo 
 cousins in ISTorth Carolina, Samuel and Nathaniel Rich- 
 ardson.** The latter served in the Revolution, was a mem- 
 ber of the Provincial Congress, and was shot by the Tories 
 in Robeson County while on his way to pay off the Whig 
 troops. He left no family. 
 
 Col. Richardson's father visited him before his death 
 and gave him a Bible which he had brought from England, f 
 
 *Their family tradition is that the father of Col. James Richardson 
 was James or Stephen, who came from England to Stonington; in all 
 other respects it appears to be substantially correct. 
 
 **It is probable that the cousins Samuel and Nathaniel Richard- 
 son were sons, or grandsons, of Lemuel of East Haddam, Conn. 
 
37 
 
 It cannot be learned what became of this Bible, although 
 Mrs. Robinson remembers having seen it many times when 
 a girl at the home of her uncle Edmund Richardson, and 
 later at her uncle Purdie Richardson's. 
 
 Col. Richardson married a widow Purdie, whose 
 maiden name was Elizabeth ISTeal. Another account is that 
 she was a widow Roots and that they were married in 
 Jamaica where she owned a large property with 900 slaves. 
 She died May 19, 1808, aged 81 years. They had two 
 sons: 
 
 (1) Samuel Neal Richardson, born June 11, 1770, 
 married Mary Ann Smith, and died March 1, 1831. He 
 was a Methodist minister, also a member of the North 
 Carolina House of Commons for 1801 and the Senate for 
 1802 and 1803. Children: Sophia, James Stephen, Eliza- 
 beth, Purdie, Helen, John, Amos, Edmund and Mary Ann. 
 
 The son James S., was a physician located at Moulton^ 
 Ala. in 1829, and the father of the above mentioned Col. 
 John A. Richardson, who died in 1872. 
 
 Dr. William M., of Boardman, Ela., and Dr. Clement 
 L., of Lake Charles, La., are sons of Purdie Richardson. 
 
 The vouns;est daughter, Marv Ann, married Rev. 
 Alexander B. Smith who were the parents of Mrs Irving 
 Robinson and Mrs. Charles P. Parker. 
 
 (2) Amos Richardson, born in 1772, married Mary 
 Haynes, and died March 22, 1812. He was a member of 
 the House of Commons from 1802 to 1806. Children: 
 Haynes and Samuel. 
 
 vii. STEPHEN RICHARDSON, bapt. June 11, 1738, mar- 
 ried Sarah Treat at Wethersfield, Aug. 20, 1765, settled in 
 Barkhamsted, Conn., where his wife died May 17, 1831, 
 aged 84, and he July 31, 1831, aged 93. He was a hatter 
 by trade and acquired considerable property. He is said 
 to have been somewhat pompous, in his ways, powdered his 
 hair and wore knee breeches and a conspicuous hat. 
 
 fThis old Bible may have belonged to the first Amos Richardson 
 and from him handed down from father to son. A Bible is mentioned 
 in the inventory of the estate of Jonathan Richardson, grandson of 
 Amos. 
 
38 
 
 He had three negro slaves, one, a woman, lived to be 
 a hundred years of age. Thev had six children : (1) Silas, 
 (2) Ralph, and both, according to tradition, settled in 
 North Carolina. 
 
 (3) Samuel resided in Barkhamsted, where he died 
 leaving four children: Ralzamon, Rollin, Marilla and Ann. 
 
 Rollin had Wellington B. (residence unkno^^ai), Mar- 
 rilla (died unmarried) and Mary, who married D. D. 
 French. There are no descendants of Samuel Richardson 
 living, unless it is through his grandson Wellington. 
 
 (4) Daniel, settled in Twinsburg, Ohio, about 1834. 
 He had five children : William Richardson, married and 
 died without issue; Edwin Richardson, had a son Julian, 
 of Ravenna, Ohio, and a daughter, name unknown ; Daniel 
 Richardson, Jr., had a son and a daughter. The names of 
 the two daughters of Daniel Richardson, Sr., are unknown. 
 
 (.5) Lemuel, married Sarah Taylor and died July 29, 
 1856. Children: Lemuel, Jerusha Wolcott, Emily, Sarah 
 and Clara. 
 
 Jerusha W. Richardson is the only daughter living; 
 she married John Dempsey, resided at ISTew Hartford, 
 Conn., and had five children, one of which is Judge Eugene 
 Dempsey, of Danbury. 
 
 The only son of I^emuel and Sarah (Taylor) was 
 
 Rev. LEMUEL RICHARDSON. 
 
 He was born in Barkhamsted May 26, 1829, and in- 
 "herited his father's farm, where he resided until about 
 1864. He was converted when he was twenty-nine years 
 of age and almost at once commenced fitting himself to 
 preach the Gospel by private study. He began preaching 
 as a Methodist minister in 1859 and is still in active ser- 
 vice. After entering the ministry he resided for the first 
 five years on his farm and preached at nearby churches. 
 Since then he has been pastor of the churches at Rockland, 
 East Granby, North Canton and Darien, in his native 
 State, and at Huntington and Port Jefferson, N. Y. 
 
39 
 
 About twenty-two years ago he came to Brooklyn as 
 pastor of the Cook Street Church ; next in 'New York City 
 for three years with the Eleventh Street Church. He then 
 returned to Brooklyn and has since been in charge of the 
 York Street Church, Warren Street Church, Ridley Me- 
 morial and JSTorth Fifth Street Church, of which he has 
 been pastor for the last six years. 
 
 The Rev. Fred Saunders, an associate with him in the 
 ministry, writes of him as follows: "The Rev. Lemuel 
 Richardson is one of the most faithful and loyal preachers 
 of the Gospel in the ISTew York East Conference of the 
 Methodist Episcopal Church, as fearless and uncompromis- 
 ing as Elijah but as gentle as the beloved disciple John; 
 his gentleness and purity of character have made him as 
 lovable as he has been efficient." 
 
 He married Martha M. Tiffany, Oct. 22, 1849, and 
 has had three daughters : Mary, married M. W. Griffin and 
 resides in New Haven ; Xellie G., married James J. Butler 
 and died without issue Dec. 2, 1896; Clara L., died un- 
 married ISTov. 25, 1900. 
 
 (6) Sally, daughter of Stephen and Sarah (Treat) 
 Richardson, married Benjamin Roberts, of Great Ban-ing- 
 ton, Mass. She probably has no descendants living. 
 
 viii. RACHEL RICHARDSOX, bapt. March 24, 1745, mar- 
 ried John Watson, of South Kingston, R. I., j^ov. 24, 1773. 
 
 ix. PRUDENCE RICHARDSON, date of birth unknown, 
 was married to Samuel Woodburn, "both of Stonington," 
 by Elder Stephen Babcock, at Westerly, March 4, 1757. 
 Presumably the Pnidence Woodburn who married her sis- 
 ter's son John Stanton was their daughter. 
 
 2. AMOS, son of Jonathan and Ann (Edwards) Richardson. 
 See fourth generation following for full account. 
 
FOURTH GENERATION. 
 
 AMOS RICHARDSON. 
 
 AMOS RICIIARDSOX, son of Jonathan and Ann (Ed- 
 wards), was born probably at Stonington, and in De- 
 cember, 1699, as he was six months of ag-e when his 
 father died. He was baptized, as before stated, at 
 Hartford, June 23, lYOO. His early years were spent there, 
 and until his stepfather, Mr. Davenport, moved to Stonington, 
 which was before August 8, 1708, when Elizabeth Davenport 
 M'as baptized. 
 
 It is uncertain when he settled in Coventry. "The Cen- 
 tennial Address," delivered before the church at North Coven- 
 try by the pastor, Rev. George A. Calhoun, Oct. 9, 1845, says, 
 concerning the founders of the church : 
 
 "Amos Richardson married Rachel Yarrington,* of Long 
 Island, and emigrated from Stonington to Coventry in 1717. 
 At that period there was no house in the east school district and 
 but one in the present limits of the parish. He settled on the 
 farm now owned by one of his descendants, Levi Sweetland, 
 Esq." 
 
 This date seems improbable when we consider his age and 
 the fact that Mr. Davenport was still living in Stonington. 
 (Rachael was baptized there May 5, 1718.) 
 
 The earliest record showing a residence in Coventry is a 
 <leed of land dated Oct. 4, 1723, from Thomas Lasett, of 
 Windham, to Amos Richardson, of Coventry. However, on the 
 2nd of the following May, he signed a deed for land in Stoning- 
 ton to his brother Jonathan, in which they are described as 
 ■"both of Stonington," and he as a carpenter. The witnesses to 
 the Lasett deed were William and Humphrey Davenport, his 
 stepfather and half brother.

 The tradition that he was married to Rachel Yarrington 
 on Long Island is undoubtedly an error, as there is no reason 
 to suppose that any of the Yarrington family resided there at 
 the time of their marriage, which must have taken place as early 
 as 1724, her first child being born March 20, 1725. 
 
 They were married, probably, at Stonington or Preston. 
 It is unknown whether her father moved to Stonington from 
 Preston before she was maiTied ; at least one of his sons con- 
 tinued to reside at Preston ; her first child was baptized there, 
 and at the same time, Sept. 26, 1725, she united with the 
 church. This must have been only a few days after her father 
 died at Stonington. 
 
 The church in the jSTorth Parish of Coventry was not or- 
 ganized until twenty years after this, and Amos Richardson was 
 the leading man in securing its establishment. He was active 
 in town and church affairs, but there is no record of any military 
 services. On Dec. 13, 1725, he was elected Lister and Inspec- 
 tor, and during the next fifteen years held many tovm offices. 
 
 He gave a farm to each of his sons. His home was located 
 about a half mile southeast of the Coventry church, on the south 
 side of the highway leading past the birthplace of ]!^athan Hale, 
 two and a half miles farther southeast. After 1850 this farm 
 was occupied for many years by Andrew K. Brown and later by 
 Capt. George Keeney. 
 
 He died in 1779, the inventory of his estate was taken Nov. 
 25, 1779, and his will dated Sept. 18, 1775 ; his wife must have 
 died before that time as her name is not mentioned in it. He 
 had fourteen children and at least ninety grandchildren. He 
 did not achieve fame as his cousins Jonathan Edwards and Gov. 
 Belcher, but he certainly pei'petuated a sturdy race. 
 
 The fourteen children of Amos and Rachel (Yarrington) 
 Richardson were : 
 1. NATHAIST, born at Coventry March 20, 1725, baptized at 
 Preston Sept. 26, 1725, and married to Phebe 
 Crocker at Coventry, ISTov. 8, 1748. He served 
 in the Revolution and was at the battle of Bunker 
 Hill, where he lost a gun. He resided for a few 
 years in Lebanon, and his daughter Lois was bom 
 there in October, 1772. 
 
42 
 
 His father's home farm at Coventry was deeded to him 
 before the date of his will (of which he was executor), Sept. 18, 
 1775, and it is probable that his father was living there with 
 him at the time of his death in 1779. He removed to Man- 
 chester, Vt., in March, 1780, where he was called Capt. Kichard- 
 son and was a prominent man in the town. His twelve children 
 were : 
 
 i. EOSAMOND, born at Coventry, July 9, 17-1:9, married 
 Daniel Brewster at Lebanon, June 2, 1774. 
 
 ii. Al^DKEW, born at Coventry, Dec. 13, 1750, married 
 Mercy Clauson at Lebanon, Oct. 17, 1773. He sei-ved in 
 the Revolutionary War from Lebanon, and in 1780 moved 
 on an open sled to Manchester, Vt., where he was in the 
 service in 1781 and 1782, and in 1806 was a representative 
 from that to"\vn. They had six children : 
 
 (1) Eleazer, bom at Lebanon, March 21, 1774. (2) 
 John Clauson, bom at Coventry, Sept. 1, 1776, married 
 Lucretia Root, Sept. 6, 1804, and died at Manchester in

 Aaron C, Jan. 25, 1809,-married Aurilla Howard and had 
 Ellen Lucretia, April 21, 1839 (married Asahel Parker), 
 and Julia Mabel, March 6, 1842, (reside at Manchester 
 Depot) ; Artemesia, born May 11, 1811, died young; An- 
 drew E., born Aug. 8, 1813, married Margaret Helen, 
 daughter of his second cousin Humphrey Richardson; 
 Moses, born May 24, 1817, had two sons and resided at

 vii. NATHAN, born at Coventry, Oct. 27, 1760, served in

 and Rhoda, Dec. 31, 1785 ; the former was 
 
 Hon. WILLIAM P. RICHARDSON. 
 
 William Palmer Richardson, sou of Nathan, was well 
 educated and excelled as a public reader. He married 
 Laura, daughter of Capt. John Lyman, Sept. 23, 1807, 
 served in the War of 1812 and was at the battle of Platts- 
 burgh. After the war he settled near Jerico Centre, Vt., 
 where he was a prominent man and representative from 
 Chittenden County in the Legislature for a number of 
 years. 
 
 He wrote the early history of Jerico which was pub- 
 lished in Thompson's Gazeteer, was especially interested 
 in the causes of education and temperance. When more 
 than eighty years of age he removed with his wife to But- 
 ternuts, Otsego Co., N. Y., resided with his son-in-law, Ed- 
 ward Converse, and died Feb. 28, 1871. A further ac-

 M'here he died March 16, 1885. Their nine children were :

 2. LEMUEL, son of Amos and Rachel (Yarrington) Richard- 
 
 son, born Sept. 19, 1726, married Anna Rust. 
 See fifth generation for full account. 
 
 3. AMOS, son of Amos and Rachel (Yarrington) Richardson, 
 
 born at Coventry, March 5, 1728, married first 
 Ruth Stiles, June 5, 1751, mother of all his chil- 
 dren ; and second Phebe. The epitaphs on their 
 
46 
 
 tombstones in the cemetery at Coventry, some- 
 times called the Strong Cemetery, read as fol- 
 lows : "In memory of Mrs. Ruth, consort of Capt. Amos Rich- 
 ardson, Avho departed this life Feb. 4th, 1777, in the 44th year 
 of her age." "In memory of Mrs. Phebe Richardson, who died 
 July 12, 1802, aged 08 years. Wife of Capt. Amos Richard- 
 sou." ''In memory of Capt. Amos Richardson, who died Sept. 
 30th, 1802, in the 75th year of his age." 
 
 He served in the French and Indian War in 1757, received 
 a commission from the Assembly as Lieutenant in 1765 and 
 Captain in 1767 ; in 1763 he was the Collector of Rates. He 
 kept a hotel for many years, which was destroyed by fire April 
 24, 1766, on which account he petitioned the Assembly to relieve 
 him from taxes. He was one of the committee to secure relief 
 for Boston and served as a Captain during the Revolutionary 
 War. Ho had five children: 
 
 i. AX:N'A RICHARDSOX, born March 26, 1752, married 
 Capt. Xoah Grant, grandfather of President Grant. Her 
 tombstone bears this inscription : "In memoiy of Mrs. 
 Anna, wife of Mr. Xoah Grant, daughter of Capt. Amos & 
 Mrs. Ruth Richardson, who died 1786 in ye 38th year of 
 her age." There is a discrepancy of three years between 
 the dates of her birth as given in the town records and on 
 her tombstone, but mistakes of this kind are often found. 
 Since Marshall's "Ancestry of General Grant" was 
 published in 1869 it has been supposed that the first wife 
 of his grandfather, Capt. Noah Grant, a Revolutionary 
 soldier, was a widow Richardson -whose maiden name was 
 Anna Buell. This mistake was undoubtedly made by 
 General Grant's father, Jesse Root Grant, and may be ac- 
 counted for by his near relationship to the Buell family. 
 ^Martha Huntington, widow of Noah Grant, Sr., married 
 Peter Jiuell, a prominent man who died in 176U, leaving a 
 number of children by her. Capt. Noah and Anna (Rich- 
 ardson) Grant had two sons : 
 
 (1) Solomon Grant, born at Coventry, about 1779, 
 brought up there and well educated (by his grandfather 
 Buell, according to Mr. Marshall). Whether he lived with 
 
47 
 
 his grandfather Eichardson or with his father's relatives 
 it is now impossible to say. About 1798 he is said to have 
 gone to the West Indies as the overseer of a sugar planta- 
 tion, and it is now claimed that he left descendants there. 
 The accounts about him differ somewhat.* 
 
 (2) Peter Grant, born at Coventry, I^ov. 4, 1781, 
 after his mother's death Avent with his father to Pennsyl- 
 vania, where the latter married Mrs. Eachel Miller Kelly 
 and had seven other children : Susan A., bom Dec. 7, 1792 ; 
 Jesse Root (father of General U. S. Grant), Jan. 23, 1794 ; 
 Margaret M., Oct. 23, 1795 ; ISToah B., 'Nov., 1797 ; John 
 K., June 2, 1799 ; Roswell M., Jan. 10, 1802, and Rachel 
 M., Sept. 6, 1804. 
 
 Peter Grant settled in Maysville, Ky., and there 
 married Permelia Bean (or Bane), Nov. 12, 1807. He 
 acquired a fortune as a tanner, salt manufacturer and mine 
 owner ; but his family, who favored the Confederate cause, 
 lost a large share of their property during the war. Chil-

 Loomis, Jan. ,,1815, and had Edwin, Daniel, Juliatta, bapt.

 ette, 1817, Marilla, 1819, Manly W., 1821, Harriet Marie, 
 1824, who married Dr. H. M. Preston, Uriel, 1826, Mon- 
 roe D., 1831, Eliot G., 1837. 
 
 (5) Uriel Richardson died Sept. 16, 1824, age 24 
 years. This date is taken from the inscription on his tomb- 
 stone in the cemetery at the foot of Silver Street, which 
 reads as follows : "Uriel, son of Mr. Ezekiel & Mrs. Jeru- 
 sha Richardson, died Sept. 16, 1824, in Bethsaida, Georgia, 
 age 24 years." There was no village nor post office in 
 Georgia named Bethsaida, but the Bethseda College and 
 Orphan Home, founded by the celebrated George White- 
 field about 1740, was located near Savannah and destroyed 
 by fire soon after his death in 1770. In 1808 this prop- 
 erty was sold to the Morrell family, and at the time of 
 Uriel Richardson's death was a part of their plantation. 
 
 In the centennial address of Rev. George A. Calhoun 
 in 1845, Dr. Uriel Richardson is mentioned as a physician 
 who was born in Coventry. Mrs. Harriet M. Preston, a 
 niece of Uriel Richardson, furnished some years ago in- 
 formation about the family, in which she spoke of him as 
 a skillful physician who died (when about 45 years of age) 
 at Milledgeville, Ga. 
 
 The above accounts of Uriel Richardson do not agree 
 if the date taken from his tombstone is reported correctly*, 
 and the most that can be said is that he was probably a 
 
52 
 
 promising young physician, who Aveut south perhaps for 
 liis^ health and died there.

 ardson, was born March 7, 1735. ISTothing more 
 is known of him. Two of his brothers' sons were 
 ' named for him, and, as there is no record of his 
 
 death at Coventry, it is not improbable that he 
 lost his life in the Revolution. 
 
 9. HUMPHREY, son of Amos and Rachel (Yarrington) 
 
 Richardson, born March 9, 1737, was named for 
 his father's half-brother, Humphrey Davenport.

 son of my son Humphrey deceased what will re- 
 main out of Six & twenty pounds after deduction therefrom, — 
 to pay a Legacy of £50 old tenor willed to my sd. son Hum- 
 
57 
 
 pbrev bj his Uncle Humphrey Davenport of Ooventiy de- 
 ceased." 
 
 He married Marj Brown, probably daughter of Ebenezer 
 and Martha Brown, of Coventry, who was born April 26, 1741. 
 He served as a soldier and was killed in a battle with the Indians 
 at Hoosick Falls, is^. Y., in the latter part of 1756. 
 
 One of his descendants, Mrs. A. F. Hill, of West Brattle- 
 boro, has a letter, written by him while in camp, to his father, 
 mother and wife, dated May 17, 1756. His only child, born 
 after his death, was 
 
 i. HUMPHEEY EICHAEDSO^T^ born Feb. 6, 1757. He 
 served in the Continental Army, was taken prisoner, and, 
 when paroled, his residence was given as Coventry. In 
 April, 1777, he enlisted again for three years in Capt. 
 Jonathan Allen's Cb., Col. Putnam's Eeg., from North- 
 ampton, Mass. He married Margaret Webb, July 17, 
 1781, and on March 27, 1782, his infant child died at 
 Bolton, Conn. On N^ov. 30, 1783, Humphrey Eichardson 
 and wife were admitted to the church at Bolton. He 
 moved to Williamstown, Mass., from there to Dors-.t^ Vt., 
 and died at North Bennington, Vt, in 1846. 
 
 In 1837 he petitioned Congress for an appropriation 
 of $35.25 and interest to pay for property lost by him dur- 
 ing the Eevolutionary War. This request was not granted, 
 although Ililand Hall, Eepresentative from his district, 
 certified that he was a man of "undoubted veracity." His 
 petition in part was as follows : 
 
 "Your petitioner Humphrey Richardson, of Dorset in the 
 county of Bennington and State of Vermont, a pensioner under 
 the act of 1818, respectfully represent that in the month of March, 
 1776, he was a soldier in Col. Porter's regiment in the Massachu- 
 setts line, that he had furnished himself at his own expense with 
 arms, clothing, and equipments, that on his way to Canada in 
 crossing Lake Champlain, he, without any fault on his part 
 slipped on the ice and broke the stock of his gun, which rendered 
 it entirely useless, and there being no means of repairing it, it 
 was left at St. Johns and lost to your petitioner, that the said gun 
 cost him ten dollars in specie, that in August of the same year 
 your petitioner was taken prisoner near the Isle La Motte in Lake 
 Champlain, carried to Quebec and from thence to New York where 
 he was paroled and returned home in the fall of the same year. 
 
 "Your petitioner further states that on being taken prisoner 
 
58 
 
 he was stripped of all his clothing except that which he wore, and 
 also of his arms and equipments, and that his losses in arms, 
 equipments, and clothing are truly and justly stated in the fol- 
 lowing bill."

 *See "Porter Family" for a full account of their descendants. Col. 
 Porter, however, fell into the error of calling the wife of Jonathan 
 Porter, Louis Richard, and the "Kingsbury Genealogy" makes the same 
 mistake. 
 
 Both are excellent family histories, with full accounts of the de- 
 scendants in the Porter and Kingsbury lines.

 His route was from N"ew York City by boat to Al- 
 bany, by canal from Schenectady to Utica, stage to Buf- 
 falo, steamer to Dunlvirk, stage via Conneaut, Ohio, to 
 ^^lleeling, W. Va., thence to Marietta, Ohio, where he 
 landed October 28, 1828. He labored for one year as home 
 missionary in Washington County, Ohio, under com-

 was from the church at Coventry in which Harlan Page 
 was reared, and drank largely of the spirit of that devoted 
 man. 
 
 Dr. H. M. Field says of him in the 'New York Evan- 
 gelist: "He was probably the oldest, and, up to recent 
 years, almost the best known of our ministers west of the 
 Ohio. He was among the most zealous and efficient of 
 those pioneers of the Church who began their ministry 
 at the front, when Ohio was yet largely a wildeiiiess."

 beth Shipman and resides in Pittsburgh, Pa., where he 
 is a railroad official. He is the author of the Kingsbury

 of the record here given of the Kingsbury line is gleaned 
 from this excellent family history. Ho had three daugh- 
 ters and one son, Samuel Shipman Kingsbury, born Sept. 
 12, 1871, who is professor of Greek and German in Fair- 
 mont College, Wichita, Kansas.

FIFTH GENERA.TION. 
 
 LEMUEL RICHA^RDSON. 
 
 LEMUEL RICIIAIIDSOX, son of Amos and Rachel 
 (Yarrington), born in Coventry Sept. 19, 1726 
 niai-ried Anna, danghter of Oapt. Samnel and Sarah 
 (Hawkins) Enst* of Coventry, Aug. 30, 1747, and 
 had fifteen children, all recorded at Coventry. Eoswell Ricli- 
 ardson, his grandson, was told by his father that there were 
 fifteen children, althongh he never heard of but seven men 
 and two women, which makes it probable that the others died 
 voung. 
 
 He resided in the northwest corner of the tow'n, on the 
 road leading from Coventry to Rockville, about a quarter-mile 
 south of the Tolland town line. 
 
 His father gave him this farm in 1754. The deed reads 
 in part as follows: 
 
 "To all people to whom these presents shall come greeting. Know 
 Ye that I, Amos Richardson of Coventry in the County of Windham 
 and Colony of Connecticut in New England for and in cosideration 
 of ye love and affection that I bear unto my son, Lemuel Richardson 
 of ye Town of County and Colony above, have given, granted, and do 
 for and by these presents given and grant unto my 2d son. Lemuel 
 and to his heirs and assigns forever two certain pieces of land lying 
 in the Township of Coventry." 
 
 His farm contained about fifty-six acres and was first oc- 
 cupied by K^oali Skinner; subsequently, in 1838, it was pur- 
 chased by Daniel Usher. 
 
 Lemuel Richardson died in 1777, and was buried in the 
 cemetery at the foot of Silver Street, about a half mile west of 
 Wright's mill. A tombstone marks his last resting place on 
 which is this inscription : ''In memory of Mr. Lemuel Rich- 
 ardson who died A])ril ye 22, 1777, in ye 51 year of his age." 
 The inventory of his estate shows that his wiie survived him; 
 it is not known when she died.

 There is no account of his serving in the Revolution, 
 although he may have done so, and his last illness may have 
 been caused from exposure in the service. The doctor's bills, 
 as shown by the inventory, would indicate that he was ill for 
 some time. It is well known that the Revolutionary records 
 contain the names of only a part of the men who were in the 
 service. This is proved by the petitions for pensions of many 
 of the Revolutionary soldiers. His family, however, were well 
 represented in the service, for it is known that at least four of 
 his brothers, four of his sons, two sons-in-law, and four of his 
 brother's sons were in the war. Their fifteen children were : 
 
 1. MERCY, or MARY, daughter of Lemuel and Anna 
 
 (Rust) Richardson, was bom at Coventry Jan. 
 T, 1748. There is no further account of her, 
 and she probably died young. 
 
 2. SAMUEL, son of Lemuel and Anna (Rust) Richardson, 
 
 was born March 25, 1749. In 1814 he was 
 residing near Lake George, and during that 
 year visited his sister, Mrs. Collins, at Manches- 
 ter, Vt., where Roswell and his father met him. 
 It is known that he had been a Revolutionary 
 soldier and he may have been the Samuel Richardson who was 
 at Ticonderoga in 1772. There was a Sergeant Samuel Rich- 
 ardson in the Continental Army from Stafford, Conn., where 
 some of his family resided. It is not known that he was ever 
 married, 
 
 3. :N'ATIIA:N'IEL, son of Lemuel and Anna (Rust) Richard- 
 
 son, bom April 5, 1750, served in the Revolu- 
 tion from Coventry and was one of the soldiers 
 who went to Boston at the Lexington alarm. The 
 name of his wife is unknown. He had a daugh- 
 ter Pauline, bom in C'oventry Oct. 24, 1783. 
 According to the recollection of Roswell Richardson he moved 
 after that to West Stafford, where he resided until his death 
 about 1828. He was a shoemaker by trade and had four chil- 
 dren, two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter, prob- 
 
68 
 
 ably Pauline, died at her uncle Lemuel's some years before 
 Roswell left home. The sons were shoemakers and resided 
 in Berlin, Conn. ; their names are unknown. 
 
 4. ZEBULON", son of Lemuel and Anna (Rust) Richardson, 
 
 born July 31, 1751, served as a Major in the 
 
 Revolution. After the war he resided in Berlin, 
 
 Conn., where he was a blacksmith; he made the 
 
 first scvthe that Roswell Richardson ever used. 
 
 The family name of his wife Lois is unknown. 
 
 The following- are the epitaphs on their tombstones at Berlin: 
 
 "Major Zebulon Richardson died June 25, 1809, aged 58." 
 
 "Lois, relict of Major Zebulon Richardson, died March 10^ 
 
 1812, aged 57." He had two daughters: 
 
 i. LIULDA, born about 1779, married first Seth Beckley, 
 second, Dec. 2, 1806, Ammi R. Doming of Southington, 
 Conn., and died May 25, 1847, aged e>S. She had one 
 daughter, who was living in 1827. 
 
 ii. HARRIET, born about 1781, united with the Second 
 Congregational Church at Berlin in 1813, and died there 
 Sept. 4, 1822, aged 41, presumably unmarried. 
 
 5. LEML'^EL, son of Lemuel and Anna (Rust) Richardson,

 at Coventry, he removed to Tolland, where prob- 
 ably all of his other children were born. He 
 
 died at Waitsfield', Vt., Sept. 26, 1826, and his wife in Tolland, 
 
 April 27, 1811. His eleven children were:

 1839, Harriet Emeline Taylor and died in Boston Dec. 13, 
 1882. A full account of him and his family, with his 
 portrait, is given in the "Richardson Memorial." It is re- 
 gretted that more space cannot be given here for an ac- 
 count of his life. He was in the banking business at Mont- 
 pelier, Yt., and for nine years at Freeport, 111., served as 
 a Judge in Washington Co., Vt., and for nine years in the 
 Legislature as Re^jresentative and as Senator. 
 
 After moving to Boston, in 1869, he was president 
 for a few years of the Montpelier and Wells River Rail- 
 road. He was a prominent member of the Episcopal

 is taken: 
 
 "In his business relations, Mr. Richardson was the soul of 
 honor. He was highly respected by all his associates and his 
 credit was unlimited among hardware men. His employees in the 
 factory were always treated with respect, and those who served 
 him faithfully received his approbation. At the outbreak of the 
 war, he called together his men and told them that those who 
 desired to enlist could find employment with him when they re- 
 turned. 
 
 "In politics he was a staunch Republican, and although he 
 never took a very active part in political movements, he regarded 
 all matters concerning affairs of state with a keen interest. Al- 
 though not a member of any church, Mr. Richardson favored the 
 Methodists, and of late years he attended St. John's Church, being 
 warmly attached to it. Deceased had five children, two sons and 
 three daughters; but of these only three survive, the sons hav- 
 ing died before their father. 
 
 "Mr. Richardson was moderately wealthy. He was a director 
 in the Manufacturers' Bank, director in and treasurer of the 
 Grand Street Railroad Company, one of the trustees of the Wil- 
 liamsburgh Savings Bank, and a director in the Firemen's Insur-

 REV. MARVIA" RICHxiRDSOX, D.D. 
 
 iv, MARVIX, lx)rn in Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., X. Y., 
 June 10, 1789, was named Marvelous for his father's 
 brother, but changed his name before he entered the min- 
 istry to Marvin, probably because so much jest was made 
 of his uncle's name. 
 
 He was, however, called Marvelous in his father's Avill 
 in 1826. He was converted with his father's family, as 
 before stated, at a camp meeting in 1806, but previous 
 to this he had been attending the Sands Street M. E. 
 Church, of which his uncle Marvelous was a member. His 
 conversion connnenced in the fall of 1805, while he was 
 attending that church. It is a tradition in the family 
 that he worked for a few years in his uncle's shoe shop, 
 which was situated within a feM' rods of the Sands Street 
 Church. 
 
 He was made a class leader in the church in 1807 
 and was licensed to preach by the New York Conference 
 
83 
 
 in October, 1808 ; be continued a member of tbat con- 
 ference nntil bis deatb, a period of sixty-seven years. 
 
 He was married to Sarab Morgan, daugbter of Eli jab 
 and Lavina (Hatfield) Morgan, April 7, 1813, and bad 
 four cbildren. Tbe degree of D.D. was conferred upon 
 bim bv Weslevan University in 1868. He died in Pouffb- 
 keepsie June 14, 1876, aged 87i years, being tbe oldest 
 living member of tbe Xew York Conference. Tbe follow- 
 ing account of bim is taken from a sketcb publisbed by tbe 
 Conference : 
 
 "He received regular appointments as a minister forty-two 
 consecutive years, of whicli fourteen years were spent on circuits, 
 thiiteen years in stations, and fifteen years as Presiding Elder of 
 districts. He was a member of eight successive General Confer- 
 ences, from 1820 to 1852. The records of this Conference will 
 show his regular attendance at its annual gathering, without in- 
 terruption or failure, for over sixty years, and his first failure, 
 which was by reason of sickness, was one of the painful disap- 
 po'ntmerts of his life. 
 
 "Marvin Richardson was a co-worker with those men who, in 
 their early ministry, enjoyed the luxuries of long weary days of 
 travel on horseback, through trackless forests, fording rivers, 
 sleeping in log huts, with beds often covered with snow, preach- 
 ing six, eight, and ten times a week, winding up the year's toil 
 with 'empty pockets,' with 'threadbare garments,' 'but with a har- 
 vest of souls.' 
 
 "The record of his life is a record of over 'four-score' years 
 without a blot or stain; a record of early and deep religious ex- 
 perience, of consistent piety, of ardent love to God and the Church, 
 of a successful ministry, and at the close a record of 'patient wait- 
 ing' and 'holy triumph.' A 'man of God' in every sense of the 
 word, 'an Israelite indeed, in whom there was no guile.' Tender 
 in his regard for the feelings and reputation of others, genial in 
 spirit, ardent in affection, with child-like simplicity of manner, he 
 multiplied and perpetuated the most endearing friendships. He 
 was a man of strong convictions, but convictions well regulated 
 by the power of divine grace, ever fearing lest he should err in 
 judgment, or by any means give offense." 
 
 At one of tbe last conferences be attended an earnest 
 discussion took place concerning tbe use of tobacco, wbicb 
 will be of interest, altbougb tbe autbor does not sbare bis 
 opinions on tbat subject. It occurred in connection witb 
 tbe questioning of a class of young men, wbo were candi- 
 dates for tbe ministry. At tbe close of a very animated 
 discussion : 
 
 "Father Marvin Richardson, since dead, then the oldest and 
 one of the most respected members of the Conference, rose from 
 
84 
 
 his place on the pulpit sofa, and in a voice weakened by age, ad- 
 dressed the 300 ministers present, who maintained the stillness of 
 the grave to hear him: 'Bishop and brethren, I once was young; 
 now I am old. I have used tobacco all my life in some one or 
 more of its forms. It has been my comfort in trouble, and often 
 my medicine when sick. If it has ever harmed me I am not aware 
 of it. These young men may do as their consciences dictate; but 
 as for m", no pressure could be put upon me to make me testify 
 against it, and my tongue shall wither in my mouth before I say 
 a word except in praise of that most blessed creature of God — to- 
 bacco.' " 
 
 Of course this ^vas an ex-parte view and clearly the 
 unpopular one in the Conference. The anti-tobacconists 
 groaned, the smokers and chewers laughed until tliev 
 cried, but the Conference dropped the subject for that 
 year. 
 
 His four children were: 
 
 (1) Xancy Morgan Richardson, born in 1814, mar- 
 ried Rev. Leonai'd M. Vincent Oct. 16, 1833, and died at 
 Poughkeepsie Oct. 26, 1898, leaving three children, of

 then assisted in directing the Columbia Grammar School 
 for four years, after which he became Professor of Latin 
 in Troy University.

 13. :MARVEL0US, son of Lemuel and Anna (Rust) Richard- 
 son, Avas born Oct. 18th, 1764, according to the 
 Coventry town records, or Oct. 16 if the inscrip- 
 
89 
 
 tion on his tombstone is correct. The Coventry 
 record of his birth gives his name as Marvel, and 
 it was printed as Marvel in the first Brooklyn 
 
 directory, published in 1822, and continued in that form until 
 
 his death. 
 
 The probate records, however, give it as Marvelous, and 
 he is called Marvelous in his brother Stephen's will. It is sup- 
 posed that he was given that name on account of the unusual 
 circumstance of his being born either three or five days before 
 his twdn brother Dan. 
 
 The family name of his wife Phebe is unknown, nor is it 
 known when he settled in Brooklyn, probably a number of 
 years before his brother Stephen came to New York. The most 
 that is known about him is given in Stiles' ''History of Brook- 
 lyn," from which the following is taken : 
 
 "On the southerly side of Middagh Street, after passing two small 
 frame buildings, we come to the low one-story house of Marvelous 
 Richardson, shoemaker.* It was built by the Hessians, during the 
 Revolutionary War, as a guard-house, and here, also, for a short time, 
 during the rectorship of Rev. Mr. Wright, the Episcopalians worshipped 
 in a hired room, rudely fitted up for the purpose, with pulpit, reading 
 desk and seats, and here gathered the few churchmen of the village 
 and indeed of the county. 
 
 "Furnian (manuscript notes), says that Judge John Garrison was 
 also an original member of this church, but that, having become dis- 
 satisfied with the distribution of the pews (no unimportant matter in 
 those days), and not getting so eligible a one as he deemed himself 
 entitled to, he seceded, taking with him several others with whom he 
 was instrumental in forming the Methodist Church. 
 
 "Marvelous Richardson (whose name in common parlance, was gen- 
 erally either shortened to Marvel, or lengthened to Miraculous Marvel), 
 was perhaps one of these seceders, as he figures among the earlier 
 Methodists of Brooklyn, and the schism may have been the cause of 
 the very short stay which the Episcopalians made in this spot. 
 
 "After Marvelous Richardson, this old building was occupied by 
 Ithial Smead as a school, and in June, 1824, was leased from the heirs 
 of John Middagh, by Thomas Kirk, who remodelled the front and 
 converted it into three stores." 
 
 Marvelous Richardson died Dec. 19, 1831, and was buried 
 in the Old Sands Street Churchyard, his widow Jan. 22, 1845, 
 aged 70 years. His widow and son Hiram were appointed 
 administrators of his estate and after her death Hiram was ap- 
 
 *This house was located on Fulton Street, three or four doors above 
 Middagh, and opposite the entrance to the bridge.

 pointed administrator. His last address was 94 Cranberry 
 Street, which was the address of his widow the next year. In 
 1888 their remains were removed to the Sands Street Church 
 plot in EvergTeens, where a headstone with this inscription 
 marks their last resting- place: 
 
 In Memory of 
 
 ]\rARVEL Richardson Also of Phebe Richardson 
 
 who departed this life wife of Marvel Richardson 
 December 19, 1831, died Jan'y 22, 1845, 
 
 aged 67 years, 2 months, and 3 aged 70 years, 
 
 days. 
 
 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. 
 
 They ha<l five diildren : 
 
 i. BEN JAMIX RICHARDSON married Mary Ann Higby. 
 His name first appears in the Brooklyn Directory in 1830 
 as a shoemaker and last in 1850 with the same occupation; 
 for many years, however, he was a letter-carrier.* He is 
 said to have been buried in Greenwood. He had six chil- 
 dren. 
 
 (1) Agnes resides in Illinois unmarried. 
 
 (2) David married and died without issue. 
 
 (3) Hiram resides in the West and has three chil- 
 dren. 
 
 (4) Aurelia married Mr. Sellick, resided in Hunting- 
 ton, L. I., and has a son George. 
 
 (5) Stephen. It is not known whether he had child- 
 ren or not. 
 
 (G) Phebe Ann nuirried Mr. Gerkin and had a daugh- 
 ter Josiahanna. 
 
 ♦Benjamin Richardson, who took the mail twice daily to New York 
 and back was the only letter-carrier of the village, and like many 
 other historic personages survives in the memory of many, owing to 
 a highly-gifted dog which always accompanied him. This benevolent 
 quadruped entered with spirit on the business of letter-carrying and 
 evinced a remarkable relish for the virtuous shins of our ancient cit- 
 izens of thirty years ago.

 HUMPHREY RICHARDSON. 
 
 ^t UMPHKEY EIOHAEDSOIs^, the youngest child of 
 
 ^^ Lemuel and Anna (Rust) was bom in Coventry Feb. 
 
 A^ A^ 22, 1767, according to the to^vn records. This date 
 
 does not agree with the record on his tombstone at 
 
 Canastota, N. Y., which must be incorrect. It reads as follows: 
 
 "Sacred to the memory of Humphrey Richardson, who departed 
 this life the 13th September, 1820, in the 57th year of his age." 
 
 He married Aseneth Cole, daughter of Ebenezer and 
 Abigail (Wise) Cole,* of Lebanon, Conn., about 1788 or 1789. 
 He was a saddler by trade. Before 1796 he settled in "the Ob- 
 long" (then called), in the town of Amenia, Dutchess Co., IST. 
 Y., as in that year he and his wife signed a deed in settlement 
 of her father's estate. 
 
 Roswell Richardson, his nephew, who was born in 1793, 
 made the following statement : "LTncle Humphrey visited at my 
 father's house in Tolland when I was quite yomig. He was my 
 father's youngest brother and lived in the State of New York, 
 He was a saddler — that was before harness-maker was hitcihed 
 on." 
 
 In 1797 he Avas elected a constable at Amenia. Soon after 
 settling there he commenced keeping a public house and for a 
 numter of years occupied the church parsonage, the same house 
 in which Captain William Chamberlain had kept a hotel during 
 the Revolution. He paid the church £50 rent for this house for 
 1799. About 1802 he moved to about a mile north of Amenia 
 Union (formerly called Hitchcock's Corner), where he had pur- 
 
 *Ebenezer Cole, son of Ebenezer and Esther (Owen), was born at 
 Lebanon, Aug. 6, 1734, and died there of smallpox May 22, 1777. Esther 
 Owen, his wife, was the granddaughter of John and Rebecca (Wade) 
 of Windsor, who were also the ancestors of Elsie Owen, mother of 
 Governor Reuben E. Fenton of New York, and Hannah Owen, grand- 
 mother of Capt. John Brown of Osawatomie and Harper's Ferry.

 chased 58 acres of land, the east boundary of which was the 
 Cionnecticut State line. Here he built a hotel, which in 1877 
 was the residence of Horace II. Reed. In 1805 it was in a 
 fairly good condition and was the first house north of the brick 
 house owned by Sidney Morehouse. Miss ^lary II. Reed has 
 an original subscription list made in 1803 for the South Amenia 
 Church, which includes his autograph subscription. 
 
 In 180G he removed to the town of Lenox, Madison Co., 
 }<. \'.. near the present village of Canastota, where he also kept 
 a hotel. 
 
 In 1802 he joined Lafayette Lodge No. 22 of Free Masons 
 at Amenia, and on Nov. 23, 1814, united with Sullivan Lodge 
 No. 109, of the same order, at Chittenango, N. Y.

SEVENTH GENERATION. 
 
 HUMPHREY RICHARDSON. 
 
 jt U.MPimEY KICHAEDSOX, born Feb. 20, 1792, 
 I^H probably in the Oblong- N'alley, town of Amenia, 
 
 X A Duchess Co., N. Y. ; married Xancy, daughter of 
 Stephen and Luoy (Curtis) Pratt,* Oct. 13, 1810, 
 at Wampsville, two miles east of Canastota. He succeeded his 
 father in the hotel, which he carried on until 1825; this hotel, 
 or tavern, as it was then called, was situated about a mile 
 southeast of Canastota, on the main highway betw^een Albany 
 and Buffalo. In 1901 this farm was owned by J. Wesley 
 Goodell. 
 
 At the time Humphrey Richardson owned this hotel, there 
 being no canal or railroad, all the freight was carried in heavy 
 wagons, each drawn by thirteen horses. There ^vere regular 
 stations for resting and Richardson's Tavern was one of these 
 stations. Often, as many as seventy or eighty horses were kept 
 over night. 
 
 In the fall of 1825, after the Erie Canal was opened, he 
 sold the farm and tavern and moved into the village of Canas- 
 tota. The next spring he and his brother-in-law, Leonard Van- 
 Alstine, went to Chautauqua Co., X. Y., where he purchased a 
 large farm in an unbroken forest two miles north of Panama. 
 In ]\Iay, 1827, he moved his family there. This farm was 
 subsequently owned by Mr. Dean, as shown by the map of Chau- 
 tauqua County, published in 1854. 
 
 About 1829 he removed to the adjoining fann south, oppo- 
 site the Luther Jennings place. Here he resided for about 
 nine years, when he sold his fann and bought the saw and grist 
 
 ♦Stephen Pratt, son of Daniel and Sarah (Nash), was born in 
 Braintree, Mass., Dec. 20, 1760, and married Lucy Curtis, daughter of 
 .Joseph and Betty, granddaughter of Moses and Dorothy (Ashley), 
 and great-granddaughter of Theophilus and Hannah (Paine). He 
 and his father-in-law served in the Revolution from Braintree, and he 
 was again in the service during the War of 1812.

 mills in upper Panama. He carried on these mills for about 
 three years, when he sold them and purchased what was called 
 the Wliipple Farm, where he resided until 1845, then sold it to 
 Darius Knapp. About ten years before this he took a trip 
 down the Ohio River to Cairo and up the Mississippi, return- 
 ing home through northern Illinois, and stopping at Chicago, 
 then a small place. 
 
 He was so pleased with the West that he removed in 1845 
 to McHenry Co., 111., and bought a farm three miles south of 
 Marengo. Here he resided until 1865, when he purchased an- 
 other farm near Belvidere and moved there with his son Orrin, 
 where he died Sept. 12, 1869, his wife Jan. 11, 1870. 
 
 They were devout members of the Baptist Church. Tie 
 was a man of about luedium height and favored with a strong 
 physique and great powers of endurance. He took compara- 
 tively little interest in public affairs, but thoroughly enjoyed 
 manual labor.

 Richardson, born Nov. 10, 1811, married Julia 
 daughter of Palmer and ISTaomi Cross, Jan. 10,

100

 father of her children. Thev removed from the town of Har- 
 mony, Chautaiiqna Co., to Belvidere, Ilh, about 1840, and 
 from there to Iowa in 18,5.5. He served as a Union soklier 
 during- the Civil War. At the time of her death the Mason City 
 Citizen published a lengthy sketch of her life, from wliich a 
 brief quotation is made : 
 
 "Ira Williams moved from McHenry County, 111., in June, 1855, 
 with his wife and five children. He pre-empted 80 acres of govern- 
 ment land in section 17, Palls Township. He built a sod house cov- 
 ered it over with hay, and lived in it till fall when he built a log 
 house. Flour was $7 per hundred and other necessaries of life pro- 
 portionately high, so it was only a short time before his means were 
 exhausted and the family reduced to want. But by dint of working, 
 selling a cow, and economy, they made out to keep soul and body to- 
 gether until their sod corn grew to roasting ears, when they would 
 grate it on a tin grater and make bread of it, boil it as green corn or 
 shell it and make hominy, there being no mill to grind it. In this way 
 they struggled through the winter. In the spring they sold their claim 
 and removed to Lincoln Township, six miles northwest of Mason City, 
 on the Lime Creek where they secured 120 acres of prairie land. 
 
 It was on Dec. 22, 1856, that her two boys, Reuben and David, 
 had their fearful experience in the snow storm near the Pedalty set- 
 tlement, when they came near to losing their lives. It was then that 
 David, who is now a rich and retired farmer living near Manly, had 
 both feet frozen so that he has gone through life with half feet, and 
 Reuben lost one foot entirely, all but the heel of the other, and all of 
 the fingers of one hand. 
 
 It was through hardships like these that the mother raised her 
 family of eight children, and brought them up worthy and forehanded 
 men and women. Mrs. Thompson was a woman of noble mould. She 
 possessed untiring energy, courage, capacity to overcome difficulties. 
 She was first a member of the Baptist and afterward of the Christian 
 Church, and a devoted christian woman." 
 
 They had nine chihlrcn, as follows: 
 
 i. CYNTHIA, bom in Harmony, Ohatauqua Co., N. Y.,

 tained of his recovery. * * * 
 
 Deceased was one of the oldest residents of the vicinity

EIGHTH GENERATION. 
 
 MILO A. RICHARDSON. 
 
 MILO AMOS RICHARDSON, son of Ilumplirey and 
 Xancy (Pratt) Richardson, was born near Canas- 
 tota, K Y., June 2, 1820. When his parents re- 
 moved to Chautauqua County he was seven years 
 of age. 
 
 His school advantages were very limited, which was a mis- 
 fortune, as his natural genius for invention lacked only the 
 force of a trained mind. He was well schooled, however, in 
 experiences which later generations know little about — the liiwd- 
 ships of pioneer life. 
 
 He married, January 19, 1843, Laura Louisa, daughter of 
 Isaac and Mercy E. (Reynolds) Willard,* early settlers of 
 Sherman; she was born at Geneseo, IST. Y., May 20, 1824. In 
 1845 he moved to Illinois, w^here for a few years he followed 
 different occupations. He drove one of the large stages be- 
 tween Chicago and Elgin; lie had formerly driven between 
 Jamestown and Warren, becoming an expert driver of four- 
 horse teams. ■ He built a small house on his father's farm near 
 
 *Isaac Willard, son of Julius and Susanna (Trask) and grandson 
 of Daniel and Anna (Marvin), was born at Zoar, Mass., May 6, 1798. 
 He was sixth in descent from Major Simon and Mary (Dunster) Wil- 
 lard of Concord, Mass. 
 
 Major Simon Willard, son of Richard and Margery (Humphrie), 
 was born in County Kent, England, in 1605 and was the progenitor of 
 the well-known Willard family. His wife was the sister or the niece 
 of President Dunster of Harvard College. 
 
 Susanna Trask was the daughter of Isaac and Ruth (Colton), 
 granddaughter of Josiah and Anna (Putnam) and presumably a de- 
 scendant of Osmond of Beverly. 
 
 Isaac Trask was a Revolutionary soldier from Monson and his 
 brother's grandson Eliphalet Trask was Lieutenant Governor of Massa- 
 chusetts during the three terms of Gov. (General) Banks. 
 
 Anna Putnam was the daughter of Isaac, a first cousin of Gen. 
 Israel Putnam. 
 
 Anna Marvin, daughter of Nathan and Hannah (Betts) was fifth 
 in descent from Matthew Marvin of Norwalk. 
 
 110 
 
Ill 
 
 Marengo, resided there for about four years, and then settled 
 at Lena, where he lived five years, mitil the fall of 1854, when 
 he returned to Chautauqua County, X. Y. 
 
 AMiile living at Lena he learned to take daguerrotype pic- 
 tures and became a traveling artist with his brother-in-law, 
 Philo Huntley. They had galleries for a few weeks or months 
 at a time at Freeport, Belvidere and Lena, 111., and at Iowa 
 City, Cedar Eapids, Keokiik, and other to^^ms in Iowa. At 
 Fairfield, Iowa, he took the pictures of a group of Indian chiefs, 
 and as they were the first they had ever seen, it filled them with 
 great wonder and delight. 
 
 After his return from Illinois he had a picture gallery for 
 about a year at Panama, then sold out the business and moved 
 to Waits Corners, in the to-wii of Sherman, and in 1860 to 
 Sherman village. He and his wife were members of the Bap- 
 tist church at Panama, as their parents were, and at Waits 
 Corners they with their son joined the Free- Will Baptist 
 Church. 
 
 He was a hard worker and fanatically temperate, but for 
 ■many years was poor, as so much of his time went for the 
 puljlic good or for carrying out new ideas which brought no 
 financial return. He had a very active mind that was con- 
 stantly planning some new invention or improvement, and a 
 temperament so sanguine that he w^ould spend his last dollar 
 to carry out his plans. 
 
 After he moved to Sherman, in 1860, the late Wm. Heni'v 
 
 7 7 V 
 
 Keeler became interested in his inventions and furnished the 
 money to obtain his first patents, of which he secured about 
 thirty, a few proving valuable. The most successful were the 
 Cream Pump, 1862 (used in butter-making). Washing ]\Ia- 
 chine, 1865; ^Yliite Bronze Monmnents, 1874, and the Sand 
 Blast process for sharpening and finishing files, 1878. These 
 are all, except the first, still manufactured and extensively used. 
 He took a great interest in public improvements and es- 
 pecially in the building of the Cross Cut Railroad from Brocton 
 on Lake Erie over the Chautauqua hills to Corry, Pa. The 
 first survey for the road through the town was unsatisfactory 
 and he voluntarily spent a number of weeks in tracing another 
 line, Avhere the road was built. He warmly advocated the erec- 
 
112 
 
 tion of the Union School building and was a member of the 
 Board of Education when he removed from Sherman in 1873. 
 
 He resided for a few years at Paterson, IST. J., and Bridge- 
 port, Conn,, and was engaged in perfecting the manufacture of 
 the "White Bronze Monuments.* In 1881 he came to New 
 York City and resided with his son until his death, July 16, 
 1900. His wife survived him and died Aug. 15, 1902. 
 
 They had four children: 
 
 1. MARVIN", bom and died Feb. 22, 1845.

NINTH GENERATION. 
 
 ROSELL L. RICHARDSON. 
 
 ROSELL LEWELLYN RICHAEDSON was born in 
 the town of Lena, Stephenson Co., 111., April 28, 
 1M50. When twelve years of age he began working 
 ontside of school honrs as a clerk in the postoffice 
 and store of Elmore My rick at Sherman, IST. Y., and after Mr. 
 Myrick was succeeded in business by Thorp & Coveney he re- 
 mained with them until 1867, when he entered the employ of 
 E. Sperry & Co., who had a large hardware store. 
 
 During the three years in Avhich he was employed in this 
 store he worked part of the time in their shop, where a great 
 variety of tin and iron work was done. His lodgings were in 
 the store, with William H. Sperry, one of the firm, and he 
 boarded at his home. 
 
 William H. Sperry was an upright Christian young man and 
 any boy who has such an associate from his seventeenth tn his 
 twentieth vear is most fortunate. 
 
 In 1870 he attended Eastman's Business College at Pough- 
 keepsie for a few months and then returned to Sherman and 
 began the study of law- in a la^wyer's office. In 1871 he came to 
 'New York to continue his law studies at Columbia College, 
 where he graduated in 1876 with the degree of Bachelor of 
 Laws. After being admitted to the bar in ISTew York he prac- 
 ticed his profession for about a year and a half, bnt without 
 much pecuniary success. Before leaving Chautauqua County 
 he became intimately acquainted with Governor Fenton, who 
 took a warm interest in him and assisted him to pursue his 
 studies. 
 
 In 1878, through Governor Eenton's influence, he secured 
 an appointment in the New York Custom House, intending at 
 the time to return in a year or two to the practice of law. 
 
 He continued there, however, for twelve years, when he 
 resigned to go into the manufacture of '^The Baby Tender," of 
 
 113 
 
114 
 
 which he and his father were the joint inventors. Since then 
 he has been engaged in this business. 
 
 He married first Clara Eugenia, daughter of Samuel P. 
 and "Marvett F. (Lyon) Hanford,* at Ii*ving, Chautauqua C<>.,

 at Braintree (now Quincy). President John Adams erected a mon- 
 ument there to his memory, at which time he supposed that the 
 family came from Devonshire. 
 
 John Quincy Adams became satisfied that his father was mis- 
 taken in this. The so-called "Ap Adam Pedigree" has long been 
 discredited. Recent discoveries indicate that Henry Adams came 
 probably from Kingweston, Somersetshire.

 flower. A sketch of Elder Brewster is given in the "Encyclopedia 
 Britanuica." 
 
 Mr. Witherell was educated at Cambridge, where he became an A. 
 B. in 1623 and an A. M. in 1626. After coming to New England 
 he became pastor of the church at Scituate and was one of the best 
 of the early colonial poets. Dean's "History of Scituate" gives a 
 good account of him and credits the tradition that his mother was 
 the daughter of John Rogers the martyr of Smithfleld. 
 
APPENDIX A. 
 
 THE JONATHAN GILBERT FAMILY OF 
 
 HARTFORD. 
 
 J 
 
 OXATHAN GILBERT, born in England about 1616, 
 was a land owner at Hartford, Conn., in 1645. He 
 died there December 10, 1682, aged 64. It is probable 
 that he had been in the colony a number of years, as in 
 1646 he was engaged in difficult negotiations with Uncas and 
 other Indian chiefs, and as an interpreter with the Indians 
 in April, 1647. His ancestry is unknown. Savage says: 
 ''William Gilbert, of Windsor, 1640, was perhaps the father 
 of Jonathan, Thomas, John, Josiah and Obadiah, but no 
 proof." If this is true ( i) it is remarkable that he did not 
 have a grandchild that bore his nanie. 
 
 Thomas, of Windsor and Springfield ; John, of Hartford, 
 and Josiah, of Wethersfield, were known to have been his 
 brothers, and according to family tradition Obadiah, of Fair- 
 field, was also. He married first, Mary, daughter of Elder 
 John White, Jan. 29, 1645-6. She died in 1650 and he mar- 
 ried second, Mary, daughter of Hugh and Frances Wells' and 
 niece of Governor Tho-mas Wells. 
 
 His second wife was remarkable for her prudence and 
 energy, which contributed greatly to his success, and who was 
 honored in the lives of her children. He died Dec. 10, 1682, 
 aged 64, and his second wife July 3, 1700, aged 74. Thej 
 lie side by side in the ancient burial place at Hartford. 
 
 Jonathan Gilbert was the chief inn-holder of Hartford, 
 and in his house the General Cburt usually met when they 
 did not sit at the meeting-house. Mrs. Gilbert conducted the 
 inn for many years after her husband's death. 
 
 He was a man of business, respectability and enterprise, 
 engaged in the trade and coasting business of the young colonies, 
 possessed of great wealth for the day, collector of customs at 
 
 117 
 
118 
 
 Ilartfiii'tl, marshal of the colonv — an office corresponding to 
 that of high sheriff — a deputy to the General Court. He ac- 
 quired large tracts of land in tlie different settlements, which 
 he subsequently divided among his children. 
 
 There is some reason to think that Jonathan Gilbert be- 
 longed to the family of Sir IIum])lirey Gilbert, of Devonshire, 
 l)Ut ihcre is no proof of it, and the pedigree which lias been 
 published showing such connection is not credited. Unfor- 
 tunately spurious pedigrees have been printed about many 
 pi-ominent Xew England families. It is certain, however, that 
 he was worthy to have l)een a relative of Sir IIum})hrey, and 
 after reading the account of him given by J. Wingate Thornton 
 it would almost seem as though he were. This was printed 
 in the Xew England Genealogical Ilegister, vol. 4, and it is 
 regretted that space will not permit giving it in full. After 
 (pioting from Gookiu showing the perilous condition of affairs 
 when the white settlements in Connecticut were threatened with 
 destruction by the Indians, he says: 
 
 "The increasing power of the white men, and their aggressive 
 policy, excited their jealousy, which was manifested by murders, firings, 
 and all cruelties, of Indian revenge. Such were the state of affairs 
 when the colony availed itself of Gilbert's services in perilous negotia- 
 tions with these enraged, crafty and faithless savages. None but a 
 resolute man, of a cool, penetrating eye, a wary watchfulness, and a 
 fearless temper, could gain respect or safety among them. Uncas, like 
 King Philip, was a patriot, and a settled hatred to his new neighbors 
 fired his heart and mind, and filled the bi-easts of his people." 
 
 My. Homer W. Brainard, of Hartford, colleoted much 
 vahialile information about the family for Mr. John B. Bloss, 
 of Washington, Mrs. Bloss being a descendant of Jonathan 
 Gill)ert. This has been printed bv ]\Ir. Bloss and from it 
 some facts have been gleaned. 
 
 Jonathan Gilbert had two children by his first wife, Mary 
 White: 
 
 i. JOXATHAA^, born :\Iay 11, 1648. He was so wayward 
 ill his early manhood that his father left him a smaller 
 share <>f liis estate than his brothers. After his fathei*'s 
 death he a])])lied to the court for relief, saying that he had 
 become fully reconciled to his father, who had approved 
 of his marriage. The court, witli the consent of Mrs. 
 
119 
 
 Gilbert, his stepmother, granted him a considerable in- 
 crease from his father's estate. He married Dorothy 
 Stow, daughter of Rev. Samuel, of Middletown, and died 
 in Middletown, Feb. 1, 1698. He had ten children, 
 recorded at Middletown. 
 
 ii. MARY, baptized Dec. 17, 1G49, married first, John 
 Rossiter; second, Samuel Holton. 
 
 Jonathan Gilbert had seven other children by his 
 second wife, Mary Wells. 
 
 iii. SARAH, born July 25, 1651, married Capt. Andrew 
 Belcher, of Boston. He was a member of the council 
 from 1702 to 1717 and Eliot says "was the most opulent 
 merchant in the town of Boston, a man of integTity and 
 honor, a friend to religion and learning." He died Oct. 
 31, 1717, his wife Jan. 26, 1689. Their seven children 
 were : 
 
 1. Andrew, born 1G72, died unmarried. 
 
 2. Sarah, married first Joseph Lynde and second John Foye. 
 
 3. Elizabeth, born Jan. 12, 1678, married Daniel Oliver; their son 
 Peter Oliver, born in Boston, March 26, 1713, graduated at Har- 
 vard, was appointed a justice of the Massachusetts Supreme 
 Court in 1756 and in 1771 became chief justice. See further 
 notice of him in Encyclopaedia Britannica. 
 
 4. Mary, born March 7, 1680, married George Vaughan of Ports- 
 mouth. 
 
 5. Jonathan, born Jan. 8, 1682, graduated at Harvard College in 
 1699. He traveled abroad for many years; on his I'eturn be- 
 came a merchant in Boston, was a member of the council for 
 several years, and in 1728 was sent as agent to England. In 
 Jan., 1729-30, he was commissioned Governor of Massachusetts, 
 which office he held for eleven years. In 1747 he was made 
 Governor of New Jersey, serving until his death in 1757. He 
 married first, Mary, daughter of Lieutenant Governor William 
 Partridge of New Hampshire and second, Mary Louisa Emilia 
 Teal. He had five children, all by his first wife. 
 
 Andrew, his eldest son, graduated at Harvard in 1724, was 
 for a few years member of the council and died at. Milton in 
 1771. Eliot says of him: "He possessed a handsome property 
 without much patriotic zeal or literary taste." 
 
 Jonathan, second son of the Governor, graduated at Har- 
 vard in 1728 and was one of the early settlers of Chebucto, 
 now Halifax. He was Chief Justice and Lieutenant Governor 
 of Nova Scotia. Eliot says of him: "He was a man of excel- 
 lent habits, prudent, upright, of great political integrity. His 
 prejudices were much in favor of New England." 
 
 6. Ann, born March 30, 1684, married Oliver Noyes. 
 
 7. Martha, born March 29, 1686, married Anthony Stoddard. 
 
120 
 
 iv. LYDIA, born Oct. 3, 1654, married first, Stephen Eicb- 
 ardson, of Stonington, and second, Chapman. 
 
 V. XATHAXIEL, date of birth unknown, died nnmarried. 
 
 vi. THOMAS, born in 1(555, married first, Lydia Ballett and 
 second, Mrs. Mary Trowbridge. He had six children, and 
 resided in Boston. 
 
 He was Captain of the skip Swan, which was o-wnied 
 by his brother-in-hiw. Captain Belcher. During King 
 William's war the French sent a squadron to sweep our 
 commerce from the shores of l^ew England. Captain 
 Gilbert, with his associates, captured a French ship 
 called the Saint Jacoh. In 161)5 he sailed for London, 
 was taken by a French privateer and imprisoned for two 
 months in France. The remains of Captain Gilbert and 
 his wife Lydia rest in the "Granery burial ground" in 
 Boston. 
 
 vii. SA]\IUEL, born about 1763, married Mary Rogers, and 
 resided in Hartford, where he was commissioned ensign 
 of the train band in 1698. In 1707 he removed to Col- 
 chester, where he was appointed captain of the train band. 
 He died Aug. 5, 1733, at which time he resided in what 
 is now the town of Salem. He had six sons and one 
 daughter. 
 
 viii. EBENEZEIi, mentioned in his father's will; no further 
 account. 
 
 ix. RACHEL, married Sept. 22, 1686, Josiah Marshfield.

 THE EDWARDS FAMILY OF HARTFORD. 
 
 1. WILLIAM EDWARDS was one of the first settlers of 
 
 Hartford. His mother was Ann, wife of James 
 
 Cole, whom she married in England. There is 
 
 nothing known abont their ancestry. The widely- 
 
 pulilished statement that he was the son of Rev. 
 
 Richard Edwards has long been discredited. 
 
 James Cole, his stepfather, died in 1652, and his widow 
 
 Ann was made the sole executrix of his will. William Edwards, 
 
 one of the legatees, was called "my well-beloved sonn." 
 
 Mrs. Cole died Feb. 20, 1679. A short, time before her 
 decease she made a. verbal disposition of her estate, which, as 
 entered on the Records of the Court of Probate, is as follows: 
 
 "Mrs. Cole declaring that it was her minde, that after her decease, 
 her home and Lande should be to her son William Edwards, he only 
 to have the use & Improvement for himselfe & wife during their nat- 
 urall life, & then it should return to her Grandson Richard Edwards 
 & to his heires forever, and the like dispose she made of the other part 
 of her estate, as appeares by the Testimony of Mr. Saul Willy, Mr. Jon- 
 athan Gilbert, and Wm. Edwards, which the Court approves of & con- 
 firmes, & this Court Granted Administration upon the estate to Richard 
 Edwards, who accepted the same in Court." 
 
 William Edwards married, about 16-15, Agues, widow of 
 William Spencer, one of the first settlers of Hartford. Her 
 family name is unknown, and the statement that one of her 
 brothers in England was Mayor of Exeter and another Mayor 
 of Barnstable, is given without indorsement. 
 
 William Spencer was a man of note who settled at Ciam- 
 bridge, Mass., in 1631, but returned to England r d married 
 his wife in 1633; thei" three children were S.muet^, Sarah 
 (wife of John C-iSe), and Elizabeth who married first William 
 Wellman and second Jacob Joy, having eight children by the 
 former and four by the latter. 
 
 The widow Agnes Spencer was a more than ordinary 
 woman; she had a large and notable posterity by both of her 
 husbands. Her granddaughter Deborah Joy married Captain 
 
 131 
 
122 
 
 Andrew Ward and had nine children. Among their many dis- 
 tinguished descendants was Henry Ward Beecher, so that she is 
 the ancestress of the two most notable divines in America, Ed- 
 wards and Beecher, who with William EUery Channing are 
 the onlv ])reacliers and theologians admitted to the ''Hall of 
 Fame." 
 
 William Edwards died before 1672, but the date of his 
 wife's death is unknoAvu. They had only one child. 
 
 2. PtlCHAED EDWAEDS, born May 16, 1647, died at 
 
 Hartford April 20, 1718. He was a well-to-do 
 
 merchant, later became an attorney-at-law, and 
 
 practising his profession as early as 1684 ; in 
 
 1702-3 he aro-ued a fuo-itive slave case against 
 
 Saltonstall. 
 
 He was probably the first Queen's Attorney, appointed 
 
 as such in xVpril, 1705, the office having been created in May, 
 
 1704. 
 
 His eldest son, Timothy, wrote as follows concerning him: 
 
 "He was a noble stature, of a straight, wellformed body, and of 
 a comely countenance. His smile had a pleasantcy beyond which I 
 have seen in many, yea, in most others. He was quick and nimble in 
 his movements, even to old age; and was of a strong and healthy con- 
 stitution. He had a strong, clear mind, and had a very good utter- 
 ance. He had a quick fancy; a pleasant, ready wit. with a very good 
 judgment. He could ai'gue in a matter and reason in a case very well. 
 He was a man of considerable reading; both in Law, History, and 
 Divinity; was well furnished for society, and very pleasant in consul- 
 tation. Thus it pleased the Most High to endow and adorn my dear 
 departed father with many virtues which rendered him very lovely 
 and desirable in his life, and much lamented in his death." 
 
 He married, ]^ov. 19, 1667, Elizabeth, daughter of 
 William and Elizabeth Tuttle, of ISTew Haven, who came from 
 Xorthamjiton, England, in 1635. They were divorced in 1691 
 and ho marri('(l (2) Mary Talcott. Insanity was one of the 
 grounds for the divorce. 
 
 Tiicliai-d Edwards had five children by his first wife and 
 six by the second, bul the foraier had two other children not 
 recognized by him. 
 
 The high character of her son and grandson, and especially 
 the oiiiinence of the latter, made cons])icuous by contrast the 
 
123 
 
 sins of Elizabeth Tuttle. It has been a fruitful subject of dis- 
 cussion with many Avriters and widely different opinions have 
 been expressed. 
 
 From Tuttle Genealogy. 
 
 "A remarkable feature in our 
 family history, as it would be 
 in any other, is the branch of 
 Elizabeth. It is an interesting 
 genealogical study. Both the par- 
 ents were of the same Welsh 
 race. There is evidence that the 
 mother had the sensitive and ex- 
 citable temperament of genius. 
 Richard Edwards, being an only 
 child, inherited ample means 
 and gave his children the best 
 education the country afforded. 
 To educate is to bring out, and 
 to train, it cannot create talents 
 or character. The ministerial 
 profession was then almost the 
 only field for the employment of 
 able and educated men. So all 
 things conspired to favor the 
 natural bent for their son, Tim- 
 othy. The process was continued, 
 and in the next generation 
 reached its highest development 
 in his son Jonathan. From the 
 very beginning this branch has 
 been noted for its high regard 
 for education, its scholarly cul- 
 ture, and its religious disposi- 
 tion. It is said to include a 
 larger number of eminent per- 
 sons than have sprung from any 
 other one of the New England 
 founders. It is wonderful, says 
 a late writer, how much of the 
 grace and culture of American 
 society has sprung from this 
 root. The same pursuits con- 
 tinued generation after genera- 
 tion in the same families, or 
 originally set apart by nature 
 for a chosen work, has resulted 
 in a heritage of confirmed apti- 
 tudes, enlarged natural capaci- 
 ties, delicacy and refinement of 
 physical organization, manners, 
 sentiments and tastes; a sort of 
 'Brahmin Caste in New Eng- 
 land,' as Dr. Holmes put it, of 
 which the Edwards family form 
 a considerable proportion, and in 
 which it holds a high rank." 
 
 FRo:\r CoxN. Quarterly. 
 
 "The branch of the Tuttle fam- 
 ily from which Elizabeth Tuttle 
 came, was erratic to the degree 
 of insanity, and is so to a cer- 
 tain extent to the present day. 
 This family taint was restrained 
 by the strong will and great spir- 
 ituality and intellectual vigor of 
 Rev. Timothy and Rev. .Jona- 
 than, only to crop out again in 
 renewed activity in the son (Pier- 
 pont Edwards), and the grand- 
 son (Aaron Burr), Ol the 'divine 
 Jonathan,' both of whom were 
 profligate, vicious and licentious. 
 Mrs. Richard Edwards' brother 
 was found guilty of slaying his 
 sister, by the Colonial Court, and 
 executed; and another sister was 
 found guilty of killing her own 
 son, but through the confusion 
 existing at that time, she es- 
 caped the penalty of the law." 
 
 "In heredity and environment, 
 Darwin finds the evolution of 
 man. The influence of environ- 
 ment works slowly and with con- 
 tinually diminishing force; while 
 heredity, being the sum of the 
 accretions of uncounted centu- 
 ries and tending constantly to 
 greater fixity in its forms, is 
 well nigh omnipotent in the de- 
 termination of individual char- 
 acter." 
 
 Rev. A. J. Gorden, in a ser- 
 mon at Princeton College, the 
 alma mater of Aaron Burr, said: 
 
 "When I was here before, I 
 went into the graveyard and saw 
 close together, the tombs of Jon- 
 athan Edwards and Aaron Burr; 
 and it set me thinking of the 
 vast gulf between those two ca- 
 reers; one the seraphic life of 
 a soul whose intellect and affec- 
 tions were aflame with divine 
 love and holiness; the other, es- 
 tranged from God, going on from 
 sin to sin till his hands were im- 
 brued in the blood of murder."

 The ehildroii of Richard and Elizabeth (Tuttlc) Edwards 
 Avere : 
 
 i. TI]\IOTIIY, born 1669, married Esther Stoddard, daugh- 
 ter of Rev. Solomon, and died in 175S. He graduated 
 at Harvard in 1691 and was the pastor of the Church in 
 East Windsor. He had ten daughters and one son, 
 Jonathan, the distinguished divine. The Rev. Jonathan 
 Edwards, born 1703, married Sarah, daughter of Rev. 
 James Pierpont, and died at Princeton, X. J., March 28, 
 1758, about six weeks after his installation as President 
 of the College, where he succeeded his son-in-law. 
 
 The Encyclopoedia Britannica describes him as "the 
 most distingiiished metaphysician and divine of America." 
 
 He had eleven children. One daughter, Esther, w\as 
 the wife of Rev. Aaron Burr, President of Princeton 
 College, and mother of Vice-President Burr, and his son 
 Jonathan w^as President of Union College. 
 
 Pierpont,* the youngest child of Rev. Jonathan, re- 
 sided in Kew Haven, married Frances Ogden, and their 
 daughter Henrietta Frances was the wife of the celebrated 
 inventor, Eli Whitney. 
 
 ii. ABIGAIL, born 1671, married (1) Benjamin Lathrop 
 and (2) Capt. Thomas Stoughton. She had ten children 
 by her second husband. 
 
 iii. ELIZABETH, born 1675, married (1) Jacob Doming, 
 
 of. Hartford, and (2) Hinckley, of Kingston, 
 
 R. 1. She had four children by her first husband. 
 
 iv. ANN, born 1678, married (1) Jonathan Richardson and 
 (2) William Davenport, 
 
 V. MABEL, baptized 1685, married Jonathan Bigelow, of 
 Hartford, by whom she had six children. 
 
 *"Pierpont Edwards became a brilliant, eccentric, and licentious 
 Connecticut lawyer and jurist, a rank prototype of talented immor- 
 ality, which was only too closely imitated by his nephew, Aaron Burr, 
 with whom he was at one time quite intimate." From Windsor Farmes, 
 page 148. 
 
125 
 
 Children by his second wife: 
 
 vi. JOlSTATHAlSr, born in 1693, died the same year.

 THE YARRINGTON FAMILY OF NEW 
 
 ENGLAND. 
 
 PETER YAREI^^GTON resided at BeMerlv, Mass., 
 in July, 169G, with his wife Abiah. No other Yar- 
 ring-ton or Yerrington family has been found in New 
 England history prior to the Revolution. 
 
 There was an Aiithony Yerrengton, in Xew York City 
 in 17o8 and presumably he was the Anthony Yarington, of 
 Poughkeepsie, who had sons Gale and Andrew, all mentioned 
 in the will of Andrew Gale, of Jamaica, L. I., in 1742. 
 
 The late Rev. Benjamin M. Yarrington, of Greenw^ich, 
 Conn., had some records of his family which stated that their 
 emigrant ancestor "was William Yarrington, who came from 
 Wales and settled near Boston, where he married Alice Wood- 
 ward, who was born in Amisterdam, Holland, probably of 
 English ancestor. The first part of this family history is 
 based on tradition, but it is evident that Peter Yarrington is 
 the one referred to, and it is also in error as to the Christian 
 name of his wiie. In tlie Beverly records her name is given 
 as Abiel, but the New London probate records give it as Abiah, 
 while the Coventry records give the name of her granddaughter 
 as Abial. Her name may have been copied as Alice from 
 some record by mistake. 
 
 Peter and Abiah Yarrington had nine children, tiie first 
 seven of which were baptized at Beverly, Mass., and the last 
 two at Preston, Conn. They probably moved to Preston in 
 1706 and from there many years later to Stonington, where 
 he died. Presumably he died in 1725, as the inventory of 
 his estate was dated Oct. 5 of that year. His wife Abiah and 
 son Ezekiel were appointed by the New London Probate Court 
 to administer to his estate. 
 
 A suit against the estate by John Starkw^eather was car- 
 ried up to the General Court, which decided in favor of his 
 administrators, in 1727. The Woodward family of Preston 
 
 136 
 
127 
 
 may have been related to Mrs. Yarrington. On April 18, 
 1711, the chnrch at Preston received Daniel Woodward and 
 wife by letter from Cambridge, Mass., and in 1714 Hannah, 
 wife of Amos Woodward.

 by the Rev. Samuel R. J. Hoyt, D. D., of Harlan, Iowa, 
 a nephew of Rev. Benjamin M. Yarrington. Children:

 THE RUST FAMILY OF NEW ENGLAND. * 
 
 1. HENRY RUST settled at Hingham, Mass., before June, 
 
 1635, It is supposed that he came from Hing- 
 ham, Norfolk Co., England. He was a land 
 owner and one of the principal town officers at 
 Hingham. In 1645 he was appointed for "ye 
 recording births and bunials." He removed 
 to Boston, where he was admitted to be an inhabitant March 
 31, 1651. He purchased a place in Boston from the widow 
 Awdrey Palmer, the deed being dated March 11, 1652. This 
 land was situated at what is now the north comer of Summer 
 and Hawley Streets. It adjoined the land of Amos Richard- 
 son and on it the first Trinity Church was erected in 1728. 
 He was a glover by trade. He died about 1684. The name 
 of his wife is unknown. They had four children: 
 
 i. SAIVIUEL, baptized Aug. 5, 1638, married Eiliz,ubeth 
 Rogers and resided in Boston. 
 
 ii. NATHANIEL, baptized Feb. 2, 1639-40, married Mary 
 Wardell and settled in Ipswich.

 2. ISRAEL RUST, baptized in Hingham, Nov. 12, 1643, 
 
 removed to Northampton, Mass., when a young- 
 man and there married, Dec. 9, 1669, Rebecca, 
 daughter of Lieut. William and Sarah Clark. 
 He died intestate Nov. 11, 1712, and his estate 
 was settled by "Articles of agreement made by 
 Rebecca Rust, widow & Relect of Israel Rust, deceased, & 
 Nathaniel & Israel, Jonathan & John Rust & Samuel Allin & 
 Robert Banks with respect to the estate of the said Israel Rust, 
 Deceased their Honored father."

 erance Atchison, of Hatfield. Her father was 
 killed by the Indians in 1677. She was born 
 Oct. 30, 1673, and died Jan. 21, 1754. Capt. 
 Rust married second, when he was almost eighty-three years 
 of age, Mrs. Mary Rose, Sept. 9, 1754. He was one of the first 
 settlers in the town of Coventry, Conn, (about 1700), and 
 was one of the proprietors' committee in 1711. At the first 
 town meeting in 1714 his name heads the board of Selectmen 
 elected. He resided where William O. Gardner lived in 
 1891 and kept a tavern there for many years. He probably 
 was in command of the train band, as his name appears always 
 with the title of Captain on the town records. His will was 
 dated in 1760, but there appears to be no record of his death. 
 Their ten children were: 
 
 i. EXPERIEXCE, bom Nov., 1693,: married Samuel
