was a wealthy ironmonger in Cheapside, and his loss by the great fire of
1666, was, it is said by Hutch. £60,000. After large investigat. I have
conclud. that Hutch. was in error, in assuring us, that Richard, a br. of
William, was ever in Boston, and that he mistook this s. of William for
the elder Richard, his uncle. RICHARD, Salem, by w. Alice had Elizabeth b.
a. 1628; Rebecca; Joseph, a. 1633; all in Eng. Abigail,
bapt. 25 Dec. 1636; Hannah, 20 Jan. 1639; and John, 2 July 1643,
wh. d. 1676; and may have had other ch. by her, as Mary, and Joseph;
beside Sarah, wh. m. a Root, and next, Nathaniel Putnam; and Rebecca,
w. of Hadlock but had two other ws. one, wid. Susanna Archer or Orchar,
m. Oct. 1668, d. 26 Nov. 1674; the other, Sarah, call. wid. of James
Standish, wh. outliv. him; and he d. 1682, aged 81, leav. s. Joseph,
and five ds. His will, pro. 26 Sept. 1682, names the wid. and s. beside
s.-in-law Anthony Ashby, and his w. Abigail; Daniel Bordman, and his
Hannah; gr.ch. Bethia Hutchinson, and Sarah Hadlock; his slave
Peter, to wh. and his heirs he devis. 5 acres of ld. and s.-in-law Nathaniel
Putnam, Thomas Hale, the h. of his d. Mary, and James Hadlock. SAMUEL,
Boston, br. of William, a bachelor, is not kn. long here, and perhaps did not
live here many yrs. bef. his d. but had gr. of ld. 20 May 1638, at R. I.
whither he went, no doubt, with his br. William, and had been assoc.
with his br. Wheelwright in purch. from Ind. at Exeter and Wells. In
his will of 17 Apr. pro. 16 July 1667, gives copious proof of his knowledge
of brs. and sis. and their childr. as Samuel, eldest s. of sis. Wheelwright,
and her six ds. Elizabeth Person, Catharine Nayler, Mary Lyde,
Rebecca Maverick, Hannah Checkley, and Sarah, perhaps unm. as her
surname is omit.; beside Edward Rishworth, eldest s. of that R. wh. had
m. a sis. of the testat.; next, the seven ch. nam. them, of my cousin [i. e.
niece], Faith Savage dec. then cous. Peleg Sanford, and sev. others of
that connex. in Portsmouth, R. I. also Elizabeth eldest d. and Ann, Susan,
and Elisha, eldest s. of cous. Edward, cous. Susanna Cole, and cous.
Bridget Willis. Faith, Edward, Susanna, and Bridget, were those
ch. of Ann, wh. were not cut off by the Ind. when that Jezabel, as
Welde calls her, met her sad fate. He wrote from Boston "Answ.
to a letter sent from Old Eng. to New, 1659," tho. it was not print.
at London bef. 1667. It is about the Millennium; but seems not
wild about the fifth monarchy and king Jesus. SAMUEL, Portsmouth,
R. I. a freem. in the list 1655, was prob. s. of William, and had Richard,
nam. in the will of his uncle Edward. SAMUEL, wh. by Lewis
is call. of Lynn 1637, was prob. of Reading 1670. Samuel, Andover,
m. 26 Apr. 1686, Elizabeth Parker, wh. may have been wid. of
Joseph, had, perhaps, sev. ch. but John, wh. d. 4 Jan. 1689, is the only
one kn. THOMAS, Charlestown 1630, came, no doubt, in the fleet with
Winthrop perhaps br. of George, wh. is next below him in the list of very
early mem. of the ch. He is mark. d. prob. bef. the separat. of the chhs.
THOMAS, Lynn 1637, says Lewis; and I suppose he rem. to L. I. where
in May 1664, he was adm. freem. of Conn. THOMAS, Boston, by w.
