Thomas Richards of Boston
Rev. Abner Morse, writing in 1861 (Genealogical Register of the Descendants of Several Ancient Puritans, 3:13), stated the following:
"Thomas Richards2 Esq., probably the second son of Thomas, senior, is presumed to have remained in Dorchester with his brother John, as successors to their father in trade, where, as a member of some church, he was in 1645 admitted to the freeman's oath. Before 1648 he had removed to Boston, where he was styled Esq., and that year admitted a member of the Artillery Co. He is supposed to have died s. p. before the date of his father's will, in which he is not mentioned."
Savage[2] did not connect the two, nor, much more recently, did Robert Charles Anderson in his Great Migration sketch of the elder Thomas Richards (Great Migration Begins, 3:1577) or Clifford L. Stott in his 2009 Register article on Humphrey Blake and his descendants. Since Thomas of Boston apparently left no descendants, whether or not he was the son of Thomas of Pitminster, Dorchester and Weymouth has no genealogical significance.
