    "John (Richards), New London, of whose orig. or date of arr. in our country we are ign. was there bef. 1660, says Caulkins, had eldest s. John, b. 1666; Israel; Mary; Penelope; Lydia; Eliz.; and Hannah; but when she assures us that all the seven were bapt. 26 Mar. 1671, we necessarily deduce that most, if not all, of the ds. were b. bef. the eldest s. and that careful writer suppos. he was m. bef. he sett. at New London. He had also David, bapt. 27 July 1673, and d. 1687. His d. Lydia m. 15 Nov. 1678, William Mynard."
