THE NEWBURY RICHARDSONS AND THEIR DESCENDANTS. Newbury, in Massachusetts, received its first inhabitants, except, possibly, a few fishermen or transient persons, of which there is no direct proof, early in the spring of 1634. Among the first settlers were Henry Sewall (father of Judge Samuel Sewall), William Moody, Rev. Thomas Parker, Rev. James Noyes, several by the name of Short, several Kents, four Browns, and several others. The place was called Newbury, from Newbury in Berkshire, England, fifty-six miles west from London, where Mr. Parker had preached before coming to America. The population increasing rapidly, the place was incorporated as a town, May, 1635.

Not long after the settlement of Newbury, we find there the names of Edward Richardson of Newbury and William Richardson. They were there as early as 1647, and probably some years previous. It can scarcely be doubted that they were brothers.
