• RICHARD Sylvester,1 b. in England, came to Weymouth, where he asked admission as freemen Oct. 19, 1630; m. about 1632, Naomi Torrey, probably sister of Capt. William Torrey. In 1642 they moved to Scituate, and in the history of the town we find the following, from "Winthrop's Journal." "Richard Sylvester having three small children, he and his wife going to the assembly upon the Lord's day, left them at home. The oldest was without doors looking to some cattle. The middlemost, being a son of about five years old, seeing his father's fowling piece stand in the chimney, took it and laid it upon a stool as he had seen his father do, and pulled up the cock, the spring being weak, and put down the hammer, then went to the other end, and blowed in the mouth of the piece, as he had seen his father also do, and with that, stirring the piece, it went off and shot the child into the mouth and through his head. When the father came home, he found his child dead; the youngest child (being but three years old) showed the whole manner of it." Richard Sylvester, d. in 1663, leaving widow Naomi, and ten children.
