Research Notes
Caution: The following TRANSCRIPTION birth records for Richard Kimball, b. 21 May 1746 is for the son of a Richard & Esther Kimball may be in error as to his mother's given name:

• Richard Kimball, b. 21 May 1746, Salem, Rockingham, N.H., son of Richard & Esther Kimball. ^{[9] [10]}

Unable to locate any other Richard Kimball, Sr. who married a Esther ______ and had son Richard, Jr. b. 21 May 1746. I believe these two records of parents Richard & Esther Kimball may be corrupting her name.

Caution: Earlier profile was attached to spouse Katharine Larrabee which has been a disproven marriage as he would have been eleven years old. See the following source reference originally utilized to support this unlikely marriage. ^{[11] [12]} See Richard Kimball
