From Notes on the Founding of New England, American Genealogies

[Thomas Lord's] eldest son, Richard, came over some years before he did and was in Cambridge where he owned a shop... but followed his father to Hartford, where he was Constable in 1643. He afterwards settled in New London, became a very prominent citizen and was mentioned in the Royal Charter.

    RICHARD, Cambridge 1632, s[on]. of Thomas, who, perhaps, had sent him to look out the most desirable place for his friends, Gov[ernor]. Haynes and Rev. Thomas Hooker, was freem[an]. 4 Mar. 1635, but next y[ea]r. rem[oved]. with Hooker and his f[ather]. to Hartford, and Gov[ernor]. Haynes soon foll[owed]. He was an orig[inal]. propr[ietor]. and one of the earliest sett[lers]. capt[ain]. of the first troop in the Col[ony]. rep[resentative]. 1657 to 61, and is nam[ed]. in the Union chart[er]. of 1662, but bef[ore]. at was bro[ugh]t. over, d[ied]. at New London, 17 May 1662, in 51st y[ea]r. if the fig[ure]. well decyph[ered]. from the honorab[le]. inscript[ion]. on a crumbling sandstone monu[ment]. See Caulkins's Hist[ory]. of New London. Porter says he d[ied]. 17 May 1662, but he says also, he was rep[resentative]. to his d[eath]. and the latest y[ea]r. of his serv[ice]. as 61; and Goodwin makes his d[eath]. 10 May 1662, only 3 week diff[erent]. from Caulkins. His wid[ow]. was Sarah; the ch[ildren]. Richard, b[orn]. 1636; Sarah, 1638; and Dorothy. He was the capt[ain]. relied on, in conjunct[ion]. with John Pyncheon, for secur[ing]. the persons of the regicides, Goffe and Whalley, that they might be bro[ugh]t. to justice in Eng[land]. as Sir Thomas Temple wrote Secr. Morrice. His loyalty in this went beyond his judgment. See ss. Hist. Coll. VIII. 326. Sarah m[arried]. Joseph Haynes.
