Notes:

Ezekiel Richardson came from England in the fleet with Winthrop in 1630, and
must have been in Charlestown by the sixth of July in that year, when fifteen
ships of that fleet had already arrived. It is highly probable that he
originated in Norfolk, England. It appears that Winthrop, whose home was in
Groton, in the adjoining county of Suffolk, had already invited Ezekiel
Richardson to accompany him on the voyage, and that the latter had consented to
go.

Notes:

Thomas Richardson must have married Mary shortly before they came to America,
in that no children were born in England. The first entry in the Colony
regarding them was in Feb 1635-6 when Mary was united with the church in
Charleston. Samuel and Thomas Richardson joined said church the 18th of the
12th month [February], 1637-8; in consequence whereof they were admitted
freemen of the colony, 2 Mar 1638. Their names are found on the records of
Charlestown for the first time in 1637, when to each of them the town granted a
house-plot, clearly indicating that they had recently become citizens of the
place. The same year, their names are for the first time found on the records
as citizens of Charlestown. They doubtless came from England together.

The three brothers had lots assigned them, 20 April 1638, on "Misticke Side and
above the Ponds," that is, in Malden. The share they had in the settlement of
Woburn, and the organization of the church in that town, has been sufficiently
related in the notices already given of Ezekiel and Samuel Richardson.
