Richard was a wagonmaker.
Richard was due to inherit his Grandfathers title, his wealth and the responsibilities that went with the title. But due to the fact that his father had married the Housekeeper, his Grandfather became fed up with his eldest son's family, disinherited them all, and the title was given to another family member.
