GEDCOM Note

Occupation: Co-owned Cloth Mill. Came from England (probably Yorkshire) somewhere from 1630 and 1638 and was one of the company that set up the first cloth mill in America in Rowley, Mass. Tradition has it that Richard came to America in the Ship "Bevis", 150 tons in April 1638 at the age of 15. Maybe he traveled with his brothers Henry and James and his sister Mary.
