• Notes

  "Richard came to Sherborn at the age of 21, with his brother Nath'l, to establish the business of blacksmithing. […] Richard's estate at his death was inventoried at £706, not including town rights and allotments at Douglas. He seems to have been a useful and respected citizen, and an exemplary member of society. To him was committed the sacred charge of taking care or the Meeting house, to which his was much the nearest dwelling." [Abner Morse, citation details below]
