Note

Note: The following is taken almost verbatim from Vinton, The Richardson Memorial, published by my great, great, great uncle, Brown Thurston, Portland, Maine 1876. For easier loading and downloading, the main text has been divided into two parts. This first one covers generations one through four, more or less through the Revolutionary War, and the second part covers generations five to seven <richardson2.html>.

Vinton's original footnotes are missing from the following text, but occasional comments and corrections are being placed in linked pop-up pages. Most of the errors found are minor, but there is a major error concerning Joseph Richardson of Bradford <jrofbradford.html> in the fourth generation. References to Vital Records in all linked pages are taken from the CD-ROM disk, Early Vital Records of Essex County, Massachusetts to about 1850, Search and Research Publishing Corporation, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033.

Any comments, corrections, additions or questions will be appreciated by�Edgar Farrar Richardson,

The grantees, over one hundred in number, were mostly residents in Portsmouth and Hampton, though several dwelt in Haverhill, Bradford, and Newbury. Very few of them ever dwelt in Chester. Their object was to make money, and most of them sold out their lots in a short time.
