"Richard (Willard), born 1596 or 1597? named in the will. … The parish register of Horsmonden contains several of the name: viz., Richard, son of Richard, baptized May 7, 1591; Richard, son of Richard, buried Sept. 6, 1596; Richard, son of Richard, baptized Sept. 5, 1596; Richard, son of Richard, baptized Sept. 4, 1597; Richard, son of Richard, baptized April 9, 1615. This last Richard follows too closely after George to be the veritable one. We may pretty safely take the Richard who was born in 1596 or 1597."
