In 1639, he returned home from a trip to find his entire family of nine massacred by the Indians.

Richard married Ursula Bysshe (Bish). CONT CONT Richard's daughter by Ursula Bish, Elizabeth Thompson, married Peter Presley. Ursula Bish or Bysshe married Richard Thompson, John Mottrom (Mottoone or Mattone) and George Colclough. She seemed to hold her own quite well in the men's world of her day.

Ursula Bysshe had a brother who was the ancestor of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.
