    "1687 … May 9th, Richard Leach died recently. He left wife, Sarah, who joined the church here 1648. He left children, John, Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin Collins, Mary, wife of Benjamin Johnson, Hannah and Rachel. He had lost a daughter Sarah, wife of Joseph Herrick. He had been a Selectman. He commanded the company at Salem village. His will, written beautifully on parchment, instead of being approved by County Court, as usual, was approved by Sir Edmund Andros, and also, bears the signature of his Deputy Secretary John West. Hutchinson remarks: 'It was a great burden on widows and children, who lived remote, to be obliged to come to Boston for every part of business, relative to the settlement of estates'."
