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.
