  2. Vital records of Charlestown, Massachusetts to the year 1850, p. 1:39, records birth of first child Elizabeth on 16 Jul 1659, so married before 1659. Since Elizabeth came to New England in 1635-6 timeframe with her parents, the marriage must have occurred in New England, probably Charlestown.

Just a heads up -- the published Richardson Memorial supplemental volume is in error, not having the Herts birthdate, assumed she was born in Woburn. This can be seen at

Richardson-1263 and Richardson-817 appear to represent the same person because: The sources indicate that Richardson-1263 is the daughter of Samuel Richardson and Joanna (Thake) Richardson, born circa 1637, but the date of birth field does not match the documentation in the profile. Please consider the source documentation for Richardson-817. She married John Mousall, Sr. and is the mother of John Mousall, Jr. born 11 Mar 1666 in Charlestown, John Mousall Jr married Dorothy Hett, daughter of Thomas Hett (ca 1644-11 Jun 1692) & Dorothy Edmunds (ca 1646-11 Dec 1710)
