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.

Edward, Joseph, Benjamin, and David, all minors, and daughters Mary and
Elizabeth. "Two eldest sisters" are mentioned, to whom Jonathan, the eldest
son, was to pay ten pounds each when they came of age. their names do not

Nathaniel Richardson passed his life in Woburn, Massachusetts and was made
freeman in 1690. In the great Indian War, known as "King Philip's War," he was
a soldier in Captain Prentiss' troop of horse, and was wounded in the "Great
Swamp Fight," 19 December 1675. Seven other Woburn men, Eliah Tottingham,
Celeb Simonds, Zachariah Snow, Lieut. John Wyman, John Baker, Francis Wyman,
Jr. and Peter Bateman were wounded in that tremendous encounter, and John
Wyman, Jr., a son of Lieut. John Wyman, Francis Wyman, Jr., and Peter Bateman
died a few weeks after, probably from wounds then received. Six brave captains
fell in the action, and eighty men were killed or mortally wounded. Four
hundred were disabled besides the wounded. But t\of the Indians seven hundred
warriors out of four thousand fell that day, and three hundred more died of
their wounds or perished from the cold.

Notes:

Jonathan Richardson's father died when he was under twenty years of age, and he
was probably left to his own resources. He seems, early in life, to have gone
to Mendon, then in the County of Suffolk, and made his home there. Mendon then
included Milford, Blackstone, and parts of Bellingham, and Uxbridge. Seventy
acres of land in Mendon were laid out to him, 10 April 1699, and twenty acres
more, 25 March 1702. He was "of Providence" in 1709; but in 1719, he was again
in Mendon, selling land there, 1 January 1718-1719, to Samuel Thayer, of that
place, as we learn from Suffolk Deeds, xxxvii. 69. But another deed, dated 5
January, 1722-1723, describes him as of Providence, as does another conveyance,
1 January 1726-1726.

Notes:

Joseph Richardson united with his brother Jonathan in a conveyance of land in
Woburn, probably in the present town of Winchester, which they inherited from
their father Isaac Richardson, who died in April 1689. At the date of this
conveyance both brothers had left, or were soon to leave, Woburn. He owned
land in Stoneham, probably near "Bear Hill," for which he was taxed as a
non-resident, in 1726-1727.

Notes:

Twin brother of Joseph, Benjamin Richardson lived in what is now the town of
Stoneham, on the border of Woburn. Stoneham was then a part of Charlestown,
and known as "Charlestown End," until its incorporation, 17 December 1725. He
removed about 1717, to the new town of Leicester, incorporated February 1713.
Leicester was then, and till 1731 in Middlesex County, which will account for
the settlement of his estate in that county. A request for administration on
his estate was presented by his widow Lydia, 6 January 1729-1729.
