Disambiguation
There were two Richard Everetts with wives Mary who were early settlers of New England. This Richard Everett is known only to have lived in Dedham. The other Richard Everitt (1612-1668), was married to Mary Winch and was in Springfield, and possibly Jamaica, New York.
Biography
Richard Everet/Everard/Everhard/Everett[1]was born in England, possibly in 1612. Some sources indicate that he was born May 16, 1588 at Holbrook, Suffolk, England.[2]Other indicate that he was born or baptized at Holbrook, Suffolk, England on Dec 11, 1597.[2]
He emigrated to New England, arriving at Dedham by 1636[3] and/or Cambridge, Massachusetts between 1634 and 1635[4]
'Richard Everard's New England career is well described in the 1902 Everett genealogy... which also mentions the death of eldest son Israel in Dedham, Massachusetts, on 4 April 1647.'
A man named Everard and his wife Mary were admitted into the church in Dedham on March 6, 1646/47, and their children were baptized 9 days later, on March 15.[5]
He died July 3, 1682 at Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts.
Wives and Children
He married Sarah, (possibly Dalton) Sep 24, 1623 at Woolverstone, Suffolk, England[2]
Richard had 4 children by his first wife, Sarah, and 14 more by Mary, most of whom produced grandchildren. Of Sarah's children, only Deborah had issue. His children by Mary were all born and baptized in Dedham, Norfolk, Mass.
From the Dalton Cluster, p. 275: 'Following their 1623 marriage in Woolverstone, Richard and Sarah (Dalton) Everard had children baptized there:
- Israel 11 JUL 1624;
- Timothy 10 APR 1626;
- Deborah 2 JUN 1628; The only one of 4 to have children.
- John 21 MAY 1629.
Of these children, young John was buried in Woolverstone 18 July 1629, less than two months old. Although there is no burial record for her, we believe that Sarah (Dalton) Everard may have died soon after John's birth. Richard is certainly not seen in Woolverstone after the burial of his youngest son, and we know from later records in New England that he had soon married another wife, Mary _______. Richard and Mary emigrated about 1636, bringing eldest son Israel, 1591 daughter Deborah, and perhaps a new son John.'
Children from second marriage to Mary Unknown before 1636:[6]
- John Everard born about 1636 in Dedham
- Mary Everard born August or September 28, 1638 in Dedham[7]
- Samuel Everard born March 31, 1639 or 1640 in Dedham[8]
- Sarah Everard born March 14, 1640/41 in Dedham
- James Everard born March 14, 1642/43 in Dedham or Boston and died April 21.[9]
- Sarah Everard born June 12, 1644 in Dedham
- Abigail Everard born 1647 in Dedham
- Israel Everard born July 14, 1651 in Dedham
- Ruth Everard born January 14, 1653/54 in Dedham
- Jedediah Everard born July 11, 1656 in Dedham
- Genealogists Note: Although the name Everard seems settled for now, the Dedham Vital Record transcription of 1886 has the surname spellings in a number of ways. It appears the transcriber substituted a "u" for the letter "v" throughout much of the book. Other words, such as "Nouember" suffered similar errors. This error has been spread throughout many trees and documents. When trying to document this surname always look for spellings with the "u" as a "v". ie: Euerard, Euerit, Euerett, etc.
RIchard's will was written on May 12, 1680 and in it he names: [10]
- wife Mary, during her natural life
- son Jedediah
- daughter Abigail Puffer
- James Markwithey, seven acres during his natural life
- grandchildren James, Daniel and Mary Markwithey, children of said James Markwithey by daughter Mary
- grand daughter Sarah Fisher
- my five children, sons John, Samuel and Jedediah and daughters Abigail and Ruth [10]

It wasn't until the 4th generation that the final spelling of Everett seems to have been finally settled within the family or at least in the Dedham Vital Record book.
