Whether or not he ever labored on a farm, Richard, as you shall soon discover, eventually became known as a skilled woodworker in Charles City County. It is unknown whether he acquired his woodworking skills in England or during his indentured servanthood. If Richard I's first years in the colony, therefore, were not spent on a farm, then they were spent perfecting carpentry skills that made him a sought-after artisan who helped build America's earliest English colony.
