↑ The baptisms in Source:Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States. Roxbury Land and Church Records stop after 1688, and what children show up in Source:Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States. Vital Records to the End of the Year 1849 are only there because they were copied from the first source, so there is no sign of a birth for Richard. But he is named in his father's will and his father moved to Watertown in 1693, so his birth presumably occurred while the family lived in Roxbury, the estimated date coming from his age at death.
