3 Mar. 1687; and Sarah, 30 Sept. 1692; freem. 1676; and had gr. of
ld. in 1679. NATHANIEL, Windsor, s. of the first John of the same, m.
3 Oct. 1681, Mary, d. of John Owen of the same, had Mary, b. 1682;
rem. to Westfield, there had Abiel, 23 Mar. 1684; Rebecca, 27 Sept.
1685; Elizabeth 1687; John, 3 Nov. 1689, d. next yr.; Nathaniel, 25 Aug.

1652, but he is not nam. by Ellis, nor can I find any acco. of him, exc.
that Robert in his will calls him br. and beq. to him 30s. a yr. charg.
upon the est. therein giv. to his eldest s. Samuel. OWEN, Newport,
among the freem. 1655, rem. in few yrs. to Norwich, there d. 1682; and,
it is said, that descend. are in Preston, wh. was pt. of N. PARK, Lebanon,
youngest s. of deac. Samuel of Roxbury, by w. Priscilla had Bathsheba,
b. at Roxbury, 28 Aug. 1701 (unkn. to the compiler of the fam.
geneal.), Samuel, John, Ebenezer, Eleazer, William, Theoda, Sarah, Elizabeth
and Martha; but the print. vol. gives no date to either s. or d. yet tells
that his w. d. in 1742, aged 71, and he only ten yrs. older in 1751.
Roxbury rec. gives John, b. 6 June 1706. RICAHRD, Saco, d. in Oct.
1636, engag. with Gov. Cradock, as "a clapboard cleaver," may be the
same who had been fined for drunk. in Mass. Mar. 1634, tho. the same
Vol. I. of our Col. Rec. shows the fine was remit. perhaps bec. it could
not be collect. four yrs. after. * RICHARD, Taunton 1637, went from
Salem, whither Baylies I. 284, suppose. he came, bec. his w. Frances

was sis. of the first w. of Capt. Endicott, wh. is a sad error, as
it was Gov. Thomas Dudley's w. that was meant. Perhaps the historian
of Plymouth was misled in his assumpt. of the first resid. at S. by ano.
suppos. that he was br. of Roger; but either of these seem to me very
improb. tho. not so wild as the tradit. that he was a relat. of Oliver
Cromwell
. He was one of the first purch. of the terit. from the Ind.
and was the chief male inhab. for many yrs. sprung from Glamorgansh.
and m. it is said, by Emery I. 44, in Gloucestersh. had ch. John, prob.
d. young; Samuel, Joseph, Nathaniel, bapt. 7 Feb. 1641, Thomas, Benjamin,
Elizabeth and Hannah; and not has date of b. nor is there approxima.
for any of the eight, exc. Elizabeth a. 1647, prob. therefore one of the oldest
