Misc. Notes
On November 5, 1640 a committee of seven was appointed by Charlestown to determine the boundary lines of the new settlement. The seven men, who received this grant to undertake the settlement of Charlestown Village, as it was to be called, were Captain Edward Johnson, Thomas Richardson, Samuel Richardson, Ezekiel Richardson, Thomas Graves, Edward Converse and John Mousall. These men were required to build houses for habitation within two years. They also were entrusted with the power to grant lands to other persons willing to build and live within the newly formed Village. The grant further stated that it was the duty of these men to select newcomers who would work as a unit to improve the land, lay out the streets and maintain a civil and religious society. Already plans were underway to create a distinct Town, instead of a Village more or less dependent upon Charlestown.
The Richardson brothers were large landholders in the Woburn area. The area of Richardson's Row is in what is now Winchester, Massachusetts. A quote from one of the many biographies of the Richardson brothers says, "Ezekiel, Samuel, and Thomas Richardson, brothers, were the emigrant ancestors of a family remarkable for their numbers, their widely scattered homes, their virtue, and their intelligence. At least nine of their descendants bearing their name have been deacons in the church they assisted to organize... (and) a large number have been officers of churches elsewhere (The Three Richardsons, The Winchester Record, Vol II, No. 2, March, 1886, Pg. 199) ·
By 1652 Woburn had grown to sixty families, doubling its population in ten years. · The first silver money coined by the State was seen in town by the early 1650s. · New Bridge Village (North Woburn) was named for the new bridge over the river in 1656. · Three of the original founders died during this decade: Thomas Richardson died on August 28, 1651. Thomas Graves died in 1653. Samuel Richardson died on March 23. footnote
Thomas Richardson (9th gg) was born 3 July 1608 in Westmill, Harts, England and married on 4 Mar 1635 Mary born in 1612. I haven’t found the ship they came on but they are here in the middle 1630’s. It appears he previously occupied the late John S. Richardson estate on Richardson's Row, or Washington street. This estate in 1798 was occupied by an old two-story house and a barn, the latter so old and poor, with a lean-to almost fallen down," that writers have supposed both to have belonged to the original Thomas Richardson.
Samuel Richardson, another of the above three brothers who settled in Woburn in 1640, located on Richardson's Row on an estate which a hundred years ago was known by the name of the Job Miller estate. Miller's wife was a descendant. The house she occupied was old more than a hundred years ago. Here three persons were killed by roving Indians on April 10, 1676. The Miller place was known latterly as the Smith place. The only ancient building on this estate in 1798 was a "very old barn," evidently a relic of the early Richardson period.(descendant Ruth Baldwin)
