* RICHARD, Wethersfield, is one of the very few early sett. whom we
can find no trace of in Mass. where he may have been a serv. or apprent.

not prob. for in Trumbull's Col. rec. I find not his name in that relat.
was chos. an Assist. 1658 to 65, but not after the union with New Haven
in that yr. He was nam. in the Royal Chart. of 23 Apr. 1662, for
junct. of the two Cols. and rem. to Milford, only, I suppose, to estab.
his s. Robert at that settlem. for he is counted on the list of freem. at W.

RICHARD, Wethersfield, eldest s. of the preced. b. in Eng. is in the list
of freem. of W. 1669, as well as his f. but we may judge that each had
