While connecting into these ancestors, I noticed there was a parent conflict on William Richards, of Weymouth.
* Thomas Richards, II and Welthian Richards
* William Richards and Grace Richards

Based on what I'm seeing online - the parents are William and Grace, so I'm going to disconnect Thomas and Welthean. If there is evidence that this is incorrect, please discuss and we can get the correct ancestry.

Evidence needed to support William Richards, of Weymouth as son of William Richards & Grace Richards

William Richards was born in England by 1619 (based on land ownership in 1640).

Disputed Parents and Origins

William Richards is seen as born January 23, 1619 at Paignton, Devon, England.

William was previously attached as the son of John Richards and Grace Weightman, born 23 Jan 1619 in Plymouth, Devon, England. As there is no supporting evidence connecting William Richards of Weymouth, Massachusetts, the parents have been disconnected. Both Andersen in the Great Migration Directory and Chamberlain in the History of Weymouth give his origins as unknown.
