      (The Richardson Line)

      (I) Thomas Richardson, the English ancestor, lived and died at Westmill, in Hertfordshire, Engalnd. He was of Standen when, on August 24, 1590, he married Katherine Duxford, of Westmill. His will was proved at Hitchin, July 31, 1634. It was dated March 4, 1630. He was a farmer. He bequeathed to wife Katherine; sons Samuel, John, James, Thomas. Ezekiel is known to be a brother of Samuel and Thomas because he calls them brothers in his own will. He was already in America when the will was made early in 1631, and hence was not mentioned, perhaps having had his full share before emigrating. Katherine, wife of Thomas, died March, 1631, buried March 10. He was buried January 8, 1633. Children baptized in the parish church at Westmill; Elizabeth, baptized January 13, 1593; Ezekiel, came to America with Winthrop in 1630; John, settled at Woburn before 1644; James, baptized April 6, 1600; Samuel, baptized December 22, 1602 or 1604; Margaret, baptized April 19, 1607.
      (II) Thomas (2), son of Thomas (1) Richardson, was baptized at Westmill, Hertfordshire, England, July 3, 1608. He was one of three brothers, Thomas, Samuel, and Ezekiel, and he very likely came over in 1635. He was admitted a freeman at Charlestown, Massachusetts, May 2, 1638, and was one of the seven chosen by that town to commence the settlement of Woburn, Massachusetts...
