Biography

"Eizabeth2 (9. VIII.), daughter of Elder William1 Wentworth, married Ruchard Tozer, jr., of Berwick, Me." Richard Tozer, Jr was son of Richard Tozer Sr.

Richard Tozer Sr. married in Boston, Mass. 3 July 1656, by Dep.Gov. Richard Bellingham), Judith Smith. The question has been raised, what relation Richard Tozer was to the Tozer alluded to (see the N.E. Historical and Geneal. Register, 1861) in the will of Robert Blott of Suffolk Co. Mass. 27 May 1662, who gives property to a daughter Tozer and to daughter Tozer's children. Savage thinks that Blott's daughter was a former wife of this Richard Tozer. This could not be; inasmuch as Blott's daughter was living when the will was made in 1662, wheras Richard Tozer had married Judith Smith in 1656. The only way in which Blott's daughter could be a Tozer (no other Tozer appearing in those days) was by her having previously married a Smith, and being widow Judith Smith when she married Tozer; but the work of Savage gives no Smith who died thus early and left a widow Judith.

Richard Tozer, sen. had one son Thomas Tozer, born 5 May 1657, of whom nothing is known. He then moved to that portion of Kittery, Me. now known as Berwick, to a place near Salmon Falls River. He had a grant of land in Kittery, as early as 16 October, 1659, apparently the place where he lived, and it is probable that all his other children were born there. He was killed by the Indians, 16 October 1675. His widow was dead prior to 18 June 1683 as his son Richard, Jr. was that day appointed administrator of the estate of his mother Judith Tozer, who had administered on the estate of her late husband, deceased.

Children of Richard Tozer, Sen.

2. Richard Jr. who married Elizabeth Wentworth
3. Simon. Of Watertown Farms (now Weston) Mass.
4. Martha, who married Capt. Samuel Lord. He was son of Nathan Lord, who married Martha (41) daughter of Paul Wentworth ^[1]
