Captain Richard John Walker, I

Many references and a number of published genealogies from the 19th century claim a kinship existed between Captains Samuel Walker and Richard Walker. After Charles E. Mann in 1910 proved that Capt. Richard Walker was born about 1611 and not 1592 as previously thought, there remained no tangible evidence that the two Captains were related, even though each had owned adjacent parcels of land at Reading. In 2004 a y-DNA study initiated by the writer was conducted on known descendants of Captains Samuel Walker and Richard Walker. This study showed that the two Captains were not related.

https://walkerdesc.org/ - This compilation began in 2005 as the Descendants of Capt. Samuel1 Walker (1615-1684) of Exeter, New Hampshire, Reading and Woburn, Massachusetts. However, with the emergence of molecular genealogy, the Walker Surname DNA Project has identified three related branches of this Walker family within its Group-12. The second branch is Capt. Richard1 Walker (1611-1687) of Lynn, Reading, Boston, and once again Lynn, Massachusetts. A third branch of Walkers in Group-12 originated in Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire, England, with some descendants emigrating to New Zealand and New South Wales, Australia, respectively, in the nineteenth century. The most recent common ancestor of all three branches is estimated to have lived by the early fifteen century. This compilation will be expanded to include all three branches of this Walker family. Some descendants of Capt. Richard have already been added. Please visit often for updates.

This Walker Coat of Arms is reproduced from one that was used in Colonial times by Major Edward4 Walker (1739-1802), lawyer of Boston and Westfield, Mass., and later Major and Paymaster in the Army during the War of the Revolution. Major Walker was a great grandson to Capt. Samuel1 Walker (1615-1684) of Woburn, Massachusetts. The discovery of the use of these arms by Maj. Walker was made prior to 1923 by Col. E. W. Foster, an eighth-generation descendant of Capt. Samuel1 Walker. It is not known to whom the right to use the Coat of Arms was first granted. It was in use considerably before 1656 by a Walker in the town of Walker near Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, England. The place name Walker was first recorded as Waucre in 1242 which means "wall-carr" or the marsh by the Roman wall (i.e. Hadrian's Wall). The motto "Passant Cressant en Honneur" means "Progressing in Honour." A variation of the word “carr” in “wall-carr” is the ancient Scandinavian name “Kiarr” which means “from the marsh.” Kiarr is also the name of a king of Valland in Norse mythology. Variations of this Coat of Arms were granted to Thomas Walker, Esq., (1817-1887) of Berkswell Hall, county Warwick, and to Roger Walker, Esq., of Portlester, county Meath, in 1812.

With second wife
ii NATHANIEL, b. say 1642 (called "Mr." 9 June 1663 when Robert Starr recalled that Nathaniel sailed on the Swallow [ EQC 6:35]); wrote from Virginia in 1671 to his brother Obadiah, referring to "brother Dyer" [ LynnHSR 14:112, citing Middlesex court files]; administration granted in Sussex County, Delaware, on 20 July 1685 to Major William Dyer [Leon deValinger, ed., Calendar of Sussex County Delaware Probate Records, 1680-1800 (Dover, Delaware, 1964), p. 10].
iii ELIZABETH, b. say 1644; m. (1) Lynn 2 March 1664 Ralph King; m. (2) Lynn (int.) 2 September 1699 John Lewis.
iv TABITHA, b. Reading 9 November 1647; m. Lynn 11 March 1663 Daniel King.
v OBADIAH, b. say 1648; m. by 1673 Sarah Hough, daughter of Samuel Hough (on 2 October 1673 Obadiah Walker of Boston and Sarah his wife and John Smith of Boston and Mary his wife sold to Richard Harris of Braintree two-thirds of various parcels of land in Braintree, including "Haugh's Neck," Harris having acquired the other third of these parcels by purchase from "Elizabeth Haugh daughter and legatee unto Samuel Haugh late of Reading deceased" [ SLR 11:342-44]) [ GDMNH 714; NEHGR 67:208].
ASSOCIATIONS:[ 3v In 1640 "William Talmage of Boston in N.E., carpenter, Thomas Talmage, Robert Talmage, and Richard Walker, husband of Jane Talmage, deceased, sons and daughter of Thomas Talmage, brother of John Talmage of Newton Stacey in the county of South[amp]ton, husbandman, deceased," appointed two attorneys to see that they received their portions [ Lechford 294, 311].
In 1646 Richard Walker and Thomas Marshall, each with his wife, jointly sold a parcel of land of five hundred acres [ MLR 7:83-85]. This has the appearance of a sale of land which had been granted to the father of the two wives, and should be a clue sufficient to identify them, if the parcel of land could be traced to its original grant, probably by the colony rather than the town. In 1910 Charles E. Mann wrote a lengthy article, "The Three Lynn Captains," describing the careers of Robert Bridges, Richard Walker and Thomas Marshall, and the many times they acted together [ LynnHSR 14:81-128].
COMMENTS: There were two other Richard Walkers in New England in the 1630s, one in Salem and one in Boston. The Salem Richard Walker never joined the Salem church, nor did the Richard Walker of Boston join the Boston church. The Richard Walker made freeman on 4 March 1633/4 was adjacent to William Andrews also of Lynn, and so for all these reasons this record is assigned to Captain Richard Walker. (Colket's entry for this man incorporates data from at least two and possibly three different Richard Walkers.)
There is no evidence to tie Richard Walker of Ipswich, who married in 1661 Sarah Story, to this family.

   On 29 January 1638[/9] Richard Walker of Lynn, planter, appointed his "well beloved friend Edward Dillingham of Sandwich in N.E., gentleman," his attorney to sue Mr. Howes for failure to pay his portion of a debt [ Lechford 50-51].

In 1645 Captain Robert Bridges was sent on a delicate diplomatic mission to Nova Scotia, to treat with Monsieur D'Aulnay [ WJ 2:290; WP 5:48-49]; he chose as his associates for this duty Lt. Richard Walker and Sgt. Thomas Marshall [ MBCR 2:133, 165]. Thus began a long association of Richard Walker with Nova Scotia.
On 5 March 1648/9 John Endicott wrote to John Winthrop to let him know that a small controversy existed between Mr. Downing and Henry Ingalls, over hay cut on Lt. Walker's ground, without which Ingalls's cattle "are like to perish" [ WP 5:317].
On 23 January 1653[/4] Captain Richard Walker deposed that "the tumbrel that his man carted mine in for Mr. Leader would not be accepted by Mr. Gafford, and the latter had a larger one made" [ EQC 2:93]. In the same matter he deposed "aged about forty-one years" that he sold sheep to Mr. John Giffard, and received payment in beef [ EQC 2:94].
On 29 June 1664 Richard Walker reneged on his bond for Mr. John Blanoe and requested that the court accept Edward Richards in his stead [ EQC 3:160].
"Rich. Walker of Boston, being bound to sea, on 26 March 1666 appointed Thomas Lake his attorney" in the matter of his tearing up the inventory of Mr. Gifford's estate. It would appear that Capt. Walker consistently appraised that estate far lower than Robert Knight, another of the appraisers, and they agreed to tear the inventory up [ EQC 3:306-07].
On 7 July 1670 Sir Thomas Temple wrote to Capt. Richard Walker, ordering him to relinquish Acadia to Andigne de Grandfontaine, which was done, Pentagouet on 17 July 1670, Jemseg on 27 August, and Port-Royal and Fort La Tour on 2 September 1670 [Dictionary of Canadian Biography 1:667].
On 2 July 1674 Richard Hubberd and Richard Walker certified that they had received a parcel of land belonging to Edmund Patch. The land could not be measured because of thick shrubs, bushes, and water "except in the extremity of winter" [ EQC 5:359].
For the September term 1674, Richard Walker, "aged sixty-three years," deposed that he had helped lay out the two ten-acre lots in controversy between John Ottaway and Joseph Edmonds [ EQC 5:387].
At court July 1675 Capt. Richard Walker sued Thomas Hodgman for refusing to give a legal deed of sale for Reading land Walker purchased of Hodgman's wife before her marriage to Hodgman, while she was the widow of Ezekiel Morrell [ EQC 5:35]. Despite many favorable depositions, the court found for Hodgman.
On 30 June 1676 Richard Walker, aged about sixty-five years, and William Cowdrey, aged about seventy-three years, deposed that "they were present when Mr. Daniell King of Lyn made his will, and afterward Mr. John Blanoe understanding that he was not mentioned was much troubled and sent his wife to her father and to them to induce him to include him" [ EQC 6:300].
On 22 September 1677 Capt. Richard Walker, aged about sixty-five years, deposed that "being one of the first inhabitants of Linn, alias Saugus, upon our first settling there, we covenanted agreed and bought of an Indian called Black William (who was owned by the Sachem and all the Indians to be the proprietor and owner of that place called Nahant), which place we purchased of him and have had the possession and use of the same for many years" [ EQC 7:126].
For the June 1681 court, Capt. Walker, aged about sixty-eight, deposed that "being appointed with Capt. How by the town of Lynn to lay out several farms, there were granted to him two hundred acres of land beyond the Iron works. All the land between this and Mr. Howell's was common" [ EQC 8:123].
For the November 1682 court, Capt. Walker, aged about sixty-nine years, deposed that he laid out a farm of two hundred acres beyond the Iron works in 1637 [ EQC 8:397]. For the same term of court, he deposed that he had settled the Lynn and Reading bounds on 22 March 1652/3 with Capt. Thomas Marshal, and described the bounds [ EQC 8:403].
At court 3 September 1683 Richard Walker of Lynn, aged "nearly seventy years," deposed that the meadow in controversy was granted him by the town and was never Farmer Dexter's, but the meadow adjoining old Goodman Redknap's, deponent was willing to let him have for old respect" [ EQC 9:339].
In a September 1684 appeal of his case regarding a highway through his land, Benjamin Farr challenged that the judges and selectmen in the case were "relation each to the other, Capt. Walker being a judge and selectman, Mr. Ralph King, a selectman, and son to Capt. Walker, brother to Ezekiel Needham, and Andrew Mansfield, a selectman and cousin of Ezekiel Needham..." [ EQC 9:315].

Name: Richard WALKER
Title: Captain

   Note:

   Richard, of Lynn, Massachusetts was married twice, his second wife being a Sarah Hempstead. Some people believe, however, that his second wife was really Jane Talmadge, sister of his first wife. Richard is the fountain of many of the Walkers of New Hampshire and of Maine. Richard's parents are not identified; however, it is plausable that he is the son of Richard Walker who joined the London Artillary Company is 1622 and was probably a native of Wimbledon, Surrey County, now a resident suburb of London, better known for its tennis matches. Governow Winthrop mentions him as being at Salem, where he landed as early as 1629, some what ahead of the numerous English emigrants who came in Winthrop's fleet. Evidence of his special friendship with John Endicott supports the conjecture that he     reached Salem as one of Endicott's band, probably of those who came the second season. If this be so, then he would have arrived on June 30, 1629, under Francis Higginson. This is very possible for he would have been 18 years old at the time, as proven by court testimony years later.

He resided in Salem for only a year, but during that time he acquired 51 acres of land which he subsequently sold to Richard Saltonstall, who disposed of it in 1634 to Hugh Gunnison. It appears that Richard had familiarity with military affairs before arriving in Salem, for in 1630, when the Lynn Train Band was formed, its officers, named by John Endicott, Governor of the Mass. Bay Colony, were: Captain, Richard Wright, Lieutenant, Daniel Howe, and Ensign, Richard Walker. Richard had also been present in 1629-30 with a Thomas Dexter and others when Dexter bargained with "Blacke Will" at Nahant and gave the Indian a suit of clothes for a large tract of land there. This we know from his sworn testimony in court.
When the Train Band had been in commission about two years, hostile Tarratine Indians from the Penobscot region advanced in war paint on a vengeful raid for an offense against them by Masconomo, the sagamoreof nearby Ipswich. In late September the settlers of Lynn heard that he also planned a raid on them. Members of the Train Band were therefore detailed to keep watch. One evening about midnight Ensign Walker was on guard,and he heard bushes crack near him, and he felt an arrow pass though his coat and "buff waistcoat." He called the Guard and returned to the place when another arrow was shot through his clothes "betwixt his legges." It being imprudent to proceed further against a concealed enemy, the Ensign called off the search till morning. The people then assembled and discharged their two sakers (cannon) into the woods. The affair was commemorated, with variations of text, in several early records. A Woburn poet in later years wrote:
He fought the Eastern Indians there Where poisoned arrows filled the air And two of which those savage foes Lodged in Captain Walker's clothes.
The passage of time enhances the story, for the arrows have now become poisoned and the ensign has been promoted to captain. Richard indeedwas to be promoted to captain of a Train Band in later years, and it is possible that the above was written after that time.
In 1630 Richard joined with those who had begun to explore some five miles westward, particularly at Saugus (Lynn), founded by these same explorers in 1629. He selected land on "Walker's Plain", as it became to be known, and within Hammersmith Village which was named after ancient Hammersmith in England. His land was on the west bank of the Saugus River, and very near to the spot where the Lynn Iron Works was to be established 13 years later.
Richard signed the pledge, was certified by his minister as aqualified resident (landowner) and as a full member (received the covenant) in the church and became a "Freeman" in 1634, along with his father-in-law Thomas Talmadge and Thomas's son William.
He made a trip back to England, probably late 1634, possibly to arrange for equipment and marketing arrangements for a planned Nahant venture. He was a likely person to make this trip as he was the only bachelor in the group. There are no records of the outward voyage to England, but his name was entered in a shipping office at London on 15 April, 1635, as one of those licensed "to go beyond the seas." On that day he took the required "oath of allegiance and Supremacy" before William Whitmore and Sir Miles

   Runton and was put down as a passenger "in the Elizabeth de London; Mr. Stagg for New England." He gave his age as 24 at that time which agrees exactly with the age he gave at three subsequent court affidavits. In this same ship there was a young lad of 15 by the name of William Walker who may well have been a younger brother to Richard. James Walker, age 15, and Sarah Walker, age 17, were also listed as passengers. This James and Sarah were most likely cousins of Richard. There seems to be some confusion as to whom Sarah married in New England. According to some records she married a John Brown in 1640. However, according to Savage's General Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, Vol. 1V, page 398, Sarah married a John Tisdale, not Brown. Richard apparently married Jane Talmadge shortly after his return. He may have known her in England, but certainly they met regularly as they were neighbors on the Saugus River. It was into this home that his first two sons, Richard Jr. and John, were born and where his wife Jane died, not unlikely upon the birth of the younger of these two boys. The Talmadge family records show that by 1640 Richard was a widower, as shown by the disposition of the will of her uncle who was still in England and apparently unaware of her death at the time of the drawing up of his last will and testament, for he left her money in the will.

Richard Walker, Thomas Talmadge, Sr., and Thomas Talmadge, Jr., one of Jane's brothers, held adjacent land along the banks of the river, whenin 1638, the first division of lots was made. Richard, who was head of the committee, and Thomas Sr. both received a grant of 200 acres, land which 20 acres. This Talmadge property may have been transferred to William, the son who had remained in Boston all these years, for about 1640 Thomas Sr. Robert, and Thomas Jr. were on Long Island where the new town of Southhampton was rising. A few years later, in 1649, they were to be founders of Easthampton, Long Island. These Talmadges had good connections in both the old country and the new, and at his death Thomas Sr. was the wealthiest man in Easthampton.
Richard, along with other notable men of Lynn, were also involved as fishermen and planters at Nahant, as shown by the following Lynnrecord of a town meeting on 11 Jan. 1635.
"It is also voted by the freemen of the town that these men underwritten shall have liberty to plant and build at Nahant and shall possess, each man for the said purpose and proceeding in the trade of fishing. Mr. [John] Humfreys, Daniel How[e], Mr. [William] Ballard, Joseph Rednap, Timothy Tomlins, Richard Walker, Thomas Talmadge [Sr.] Henry Feakes, Francis Dent."
During Richard's time in Saugus the "Military Company of the Massachusetts", afterwards called the Ancient and Honorable Artillary Company of Boston, was formed, the charter being granted on the first

   Monday of June, 1638. It embraced members from the surrounding towns of the colony "to act as a sort of regulator of military affairs and as a school for instruction in tactics." Six charter members were chosen from Lynn, among them Nathaniel Turner, Daniel Howe, and Richard Walker, who were all officers of the Lynn Train Band. Richard, at this time, was 27 years of age, and as he was several years the junior of these other officers, this was recognition of his counsel and valor in Indian fighting which continued until he was a very old man.

In the years after the death of his wife Jane Talmadge, about 1640, Richard became a first settler at Lynn Village, later incorporated as Reeding, later Reading, in a locality now called Wakefield, some eight miles up the Saugus River. His brother Samuel had moved there in 1642 and Richard received three tracts of land in Reading in 1642. The town meeting that year having voted him 27 acres of upland " laying on the plain," which is identified as being "on the northernly side of the present Elm Street, at the northerly end of the Highway where theearly Train Band paraded." The same town meeting voted him "a parcel of swampy medow," bounded by the Great Pond on the East and the Highway on the South, and the northwest by the first-mentioned acreage." There was first voted to him "a neck of upland containing ten acres more or less. "This was north of his first tract. The original homestead was about one-third

   of a mile southwest of the entrance of the stream from Bear Hill into thePond.

When he took his second wife Sarah (there is some confusion as to just who this Sarah was, a Talmadge or a Hempstead) about 1644, it was natural for him to occupy these grants. The Talmadges had already left for Long Island. His move up the river was also probably hastened by the opening of the first iron works in New England, which was the very extensive (6 places, 3 miles square in each place) Lynn Iron Works with one site right beside his grant. The mining of bog iron over such a large adjacent area, with heavy black smoke from the forge and furnaces, would wrought havoc with any nearby farms. That he still owned the farm in 1644 is shown by his tax of L1 out of a total town tax rate of L80.
Richard and his second wife Sarah therefore had a considerable household in their early married years at Reading. It included four sons, born in Lynn, as follows: Richard, Jr. (1637-1721), who was six when they settled in Reading, John (1640-1721), four at the time, both children of Jane, Shubael (1641-1689), two at the time and whose name is from the Talmadge family, and Obediah (1643-1675), near his first birthday. Three additional children were born at Reading: Nathaniel (1645-1683), Tabitha (1647- ), and Elizabeth (1649- ). Both girls married while in their teens, sons of Captain Daniel King, Sr. (1602-1672), a Lynn pioneer from Waterford in Hertfordshire, and apparently dwelt at Swampscott.
In 1645 Lieut. Richard Walker was chosen by Governor Endicott along with his neighbor and friends Capt. Bridges and Sergeant Thomas Marshall to negotiate with d'Aulney, the commander of Acadia. Upon their return from Nova Scotia, the General Court (of which Richard had already been a member) voted Bridges, Walker, and Marshall L10, L4, and 40 shillings, respectively for their "good services." This trip was to be the beginning of further trading activity with Acadia by Richard and his associates.
Richard had been promoted to lieutenant when he first arrived at Reading and there is mentioned in 1647 of "the Reading Train Band led by Lieut. Walker" that organization then being required to train eight days a year. When a new Train Band was formed in 1651, Richard was named as Captain by the Middlesex Court.
He is mentioned in 1648 as one of the church at Reading (Wakefield), along with his brother Samuel. During a part of his residence there on the west side of Lake Quannapowitt, Rev. Samuel Haugh was his pastor. The church stood at Albion and Main Streets on what is now Wakefield Common. Sarah Haugh, the pastor's daughter, married Obediah Walker and thus became Richard's daughter-in-law. She was to figure in extensive business transactions with Richard, the Haughs having been relatively wealthy. He headed a petition in 1662 "to keep ye dogs out of ye meeting house on ye Lord's day" by employing a dog whipper. This apparently did not accomplish the desired results for the next action was to impose fines on the owners of the offending canines. The scope of this problem is hard to understand until you place yourself back in time to when every family had one or more dogs who were with men and boys throughout the day and that on the Sabbath they would accompany their master to the church and then be left outside with a score of other dogs to wait for hours for anyone to again emerge to pet or to be with them.
Richard was also active in performing his civic duties and served on he board of selectmen in Reading in the years 1647, 1649, 1652, and 1658. He also served as chairman of "the seven Prudential Men" of Lynn for two years. He was elected as Representative, or Deputy, to the General Court for the Colony from Lynn for the years 1640-1642, and again on his return to Lynnin 1679 and 1680. He was elected from Reading for the years 1647-1652, and 1658 and 1660.
In 1666 he moved into Boston Proper for a period of 11 years where he lived in the North End and became a menber of the Old North Church.S. Walker, propably his second wife, was admitted there in 1666, which was about the time that they moved there from Reading. Richard's name appears as a member of the board of trustees in 1671, along with Sir Thomas Temple, his associate in numerous business undertakings, as empowered to purchase land for the church. Richard then returned to Lynn in 1677 for the last ten years of his life.

The following is from the manuscript of Ernest George Walker, written in 1926: Coloniel names, linked by marriage with Captain Richard Walker, his sons and grandsons - and with his brothers and their progeny - troop into the picture in long array. A complete roster of them can hardly be given. Town and family records, incompletely written often times, frequently omitted maiden names in marriages or failed to indicate bachelors and spinsters. But through the first three American generations - which carried this Walker life stream beyond 1700 - the category of those allied to the Richard Walkers by marriage included Talmadge, Story, Coburnand Greenough; Leger and Mirick; Jewett and Hazeltine; the Hough and Dyer families. On the distaff side were Walker daughters who married into the King family; the Larkin, Moore, Barker, and Sargent families; the Ayers, Bailey, Greeley, and Pierson families. Akin to the stock of Captain Richard Walker's brothers were the Moses, Philbrook, and Brookings families, the Roberts, Reed, Carter, Wyman, Baldwin, Leppingwell, Pierce, Haywood, Bruce, and Cook families; and the Snow family.
Much as a diary of outstanding achievements by Captain Richard's descendants might quicken reading interest, only a few have been mentioned and in an incidental way. Anything more would involve monumental search beyond the scope of this little volume. The men and women of Captain Richard's blood have given a good account of themselves down through the ages, have gained positions of leadership and earned rewards in the higher brackets of business and the professions. Two Walker members of a Harvard College class some years ago - belonging to widely separated families-were descendants, one of Captain Richard [George Albert Walker, Jr. Harvard, Class of 1894], the other of his brother Samuel. One of these afterward resided near a Walker neighbor, , of like ancestry, who was identified with prominent social and financial circles at Washington. In the same city - far from the ancestral homesteads in New England - was another descendant of Samuel, who had an active career there as an attorney. Attributes of character and ability prevail among these now far flung descendants of the great old Puritan founder of this Walker clan.
A few hours pilgrimage easily covers the scene of much of his life's activities and brings back on some measure the environment of his career. Starting at Salem - where he landed after a sixty day voyage from London - the way is on to Lynn and the west bank of the Saugus [River]. There he started his home and family with Jane Talmadge. On this ground one can contemplate his disappointment when the Iron Works were built at his front door. Grief over his young wife's death gradually yielded to interest in a new home a few miles up the Saugus River. There, in 1644, the General Court incorporated "Lynn Village" four miles square. Later it was "to take the name of 'Redding.'" and still later to be known as Wakefield.
The adjacent hills are differently crowned these days than when they looked down upon the early Puritans. But there is the same horizon over the broad Atlantic; the same circuitous channel up the Saugus to Lake Quannapowitt and Cowdry's Hill. One can readily picture the many boat trips up the river with the rising tide and down again when the waters were ebbing; welcomes galore from wife and children on Cowdry's Hill when work was finished; silent appreciation for the scenic glories of that

   beautiful region.

Subsequent years of residence at Boston's North End - only a few miles away- active associations with Sir Thomas Temple during the turbulent period; the closing decade at Lynn with continued occupation atprivate and public affairs, could hardly have erased memories of Wakefield where his business grew to be prosperous and his children by two marriages became men and women.
Pursuits that took him far afield oftener than surviving records indicate; voyages eastward to Arcadia; frequent journeys from Lynn and Reading as a Deputy to the General Court, duties at Lynn, Reading, Charlestown and elsewhere as a surveyor; family visits with brother William of Easthamon the Cape [Cod]; with cousins at Rehoboth and Taunton near there; with brother Samuel at Woburn; with married sons and daughters at Boston, Bradford, Ipswich, Charlestown, and Lynn - these and very much more, modern day descendants may visualize on a pilgrimage.
To see objects with which Captain Richard must have been familiar; to traverse places where he and one or two Walker generations after him went their several ways, heightens comprehension of the long and unusual American family line that he founded.
The information contained herein dealing with the life of Captain Richard Walker, of Lynn, was provided by Ernest George Walker via his manuscript, written in 1935.

"Richard Walker came to Lynn, 1630, and in 1635, besides James and Sarah, came also in the same vessel, 'Richard 24 and William 15 years, stated to have been his children,' (Hist. of Lynn) one or more of them. This wants confirmation. Richard was buried, 16 March, 1687, 95 years. Although an examination has been made at Salem, Ipswich and Cambridge, nothing of any account can be found as to his children, by will or deed. Shubael and Samuel, of Reading, were probably his children..."

   Source Medium: Book Source Quality: Excellent The Essex Antiquarian was published from 1897 to 1909 by Sidney Perley and George Francis Dow, both noted Essex County Genealogists and Historians. The purpose and accomplishments of the Antiquarian are best described in the words of Perley and Dow, as published in the final edition Vol. 13, No. 4, October 1909: "The Essex Antiquarian was purposed to fill a want. It was designed to be a leader in scientific historical research; and to present copies or abstracts of records and compilations in an exhaustive and systematic manner, so that as far as the publication extended further investigation along those lines would be needless. Repeated examinations of records tend to their destruction, and thousands of dollars have been spent locally upon the same records for the same purpose by various persons who were ignorant of costly examinations made by others. This purpose, if prosecuted, would preserve the records and make further expenditure of money and labor unnecessary. This has been the particular reason of the appearance of the genealogies in alphabetical order, the gravestone inscriptions, abstracts of the Salem and Ipswich quarterly court records and files, old Norfolk county records, all wills in the order of their probate, Essex Gazette notes, abstracts of titles to land, etc., as shown in Salem, Haverhill, Ipswich and Marblehead in 1700, and in Georgetown and Topsfield in 1800. During the thirteen years of its existence there have been published in The Essex Antiquarian genealogies of all families from Abbe to Brown; all gravestone inscriptions dated prior to the year 1800 in Amesbury, Andover, Beverly, Boxford, Bradford, Danvers, Essex, Georgetown, Gloucester, Groveland, Hamilton, Haverhill and Ipswich; all wills proved in the county prior to June, 1666; the record of the Essex County Revolutionary soldiers Also available at the Toledo/Lucas County Public Library, Toledo, Ohio #$974.45
