biography
From https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=8445160
Born about 1604 (deposed 21 March 1655/6 aged fifty-two years). Tailor, trader,& agent from Barnstable, Devonshire who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1632 on the "Charles." First settled in Dorchester; moved to Boston in 1658, Casco ME in 1666, Falmouth MA in 1669, Saco ME in 1672, & Boston in 1676. Died in Boston 7 July 1686; buried there 9 July 1686. .
The General Court spoke well when they described Richard Collicott as "read[y] ... at all times to be servicable to the country." His energy in moving from place to place, pursuing business and trade, was daunting. His suits were brought in almost every New England court of the time, both on his own account or as agent for friends or customers.

notes
From http://www.genealogy.com/ftm/m/y/e/Ron-C-Myers/GENE30-0075.html
In the latter part of 1637, or early in 1638, the General Court of Plymouth Colony granted to Mr. Richard Collicut, of Dorchester, Mass., the lands at Mattakeese; Rev. Joseph Hull and Elder Thomas Dimmock may have been associated with him in this grant, but this is not certain.
On May 6, 1639: "It is ordered by the court that if Mr. Collicut do come in his own person to inhabit at Mattakeese before the General Court in June ensuing, that then the grant shall remain firm unto them; but, if he fails to come within the time prefixed, that then their grant be made void; and the lands be otherwise disposed of."
He failed to come, and on June 4, or 14, new style, the grant was assigned to Rev. Joseph Hull and Elder Thomas Dimmock; who with their associates were the actual founders of Barnstable.
It is certain that Mr. Collicut never settled in Barnstable; but he or his associates surveyed some lands there and appropriated some to their particular use soon after the grant to him. He may have been prevented from making settlement in Barnstable and securing the grant by other business; as he resided in Mass. Bay Colony, and not in the Plymouth Colony. He was made freeman in the former Colony, Mar. 4, 1632-3; was a surveyor; selectman, 1636; deputy, 1636-7, and again in 1655; he was appointed commissary for the troops employed against the Pequot Indians, May 17, 1637, was appointed to rectify the bounds between Dedham and Dorchester, 1638; and to run the line between Massachusetts and Connecticut, 1641; he removed to Boston, 1636; was in Falmouth (now Portland) Maine, 1669; in Saco, Maine, 1672; and d. Boston, July 7, 1685, aged 83 years.

(_____) (Osborn) Mulford, neighbor in Boston, was called "sister Moleford" in Collicott's will, and was probably a sister of second wife Thomasine. Coddington suggested that Frideswide and Thomasine were born Wards and were younger half-sisters of Samuel Ward of Hingham or of Ward's unknown wife.
