POSTERITY OF SAMUEL RICHARDSON.
2203.
 Partridge Richardson6 (Bartholomew,5 Noah,4 Pierson,3 John,2 Samuel1), son of Bartholomew5 and Hannah (Partridge) Richardson; born in Woburn, April 23, 1760; married Martha Reed, May 11, 1784.
After marriage he lived a few years in Cambridge and removed, as early as 1794, to Biddeford, Me., where he was living in 1811; how much longer we know not.
May 1, 1794. Partridge Richardson, of Biddeford, yeoman, bought of Tristram Morrill, of Biddeford, trader, a tract of land in Biddeford, on the road leading from Saco bridge to Rev. Mr. [Nathaniel] Webster’s meeting-house, formerly belonging to Rev. Moses Morrill, containing about one and one-half acres, with the dwelling-house thereon, formerly the parsonage. [York Deeds, lv. 435.]
September 16, 1794. Partridge Richardson, of Biddeford, yeoman, sold this same property to George Partridge, of Duxborough, Plymouth County, Esquire [his mother’s brother]. [York Deeds, lv. 415.]
April 3, 1799. Partridge Richardson, of Biddeford, yeoman, sold to Thomas Cutts, of Pepperellborough, one acre and seventy poles of land in Biddeford. This land began at Saco River, on the north-west side of the parsonage in Biddeford, on the road from Winter Harbor to Saco Falls.* [York Deeds, lxvi. 33.]
The date of his death is not known. It was probably in 1811, when Augustus and Bartholomew, his sons, were reported as minors.

His children were:
  1. George Partridge,7 b. 178—; he lived in Duxbury; was a man of note; had a daughter, Charity Bush Richardson, who married George Augustus Stearns, her cousin, of Northfield, Mass.
  2. Statira,7 b. in Cambridge, March 20, 1789; m. Nov. 24, 1807, Calvin Stearns, b. Nov. 5, 1778; a carpenter, of Northfield, Mass. They had ten children, one of whom, George A. Stearns, married Charity Bush Richardson, just mentioned. For a record of the whole family, see Bond’s Watertown Genealogies, p. 496.
  3. Augustus.7
  4. Bartholomew.7
    5. The two last were minors in 1811.
*Biddeford and Pepperellborough were on opposite sides of Saco River. Pepperellborough is now the town of Saco, on the east side of the river. Rev. Moses Morrill was minister of Biddeford from 1743 to 1778. Tristram Morrill was his son. It seems that Partridge Richardson purchased the estate which had been used for a parsonage, but not being able to pay for it, conveyed the title to his uncle, Hon. George Partridge, still continuing to occupy it.

 Rev. Abel Manning (Lydia Richardson,5 Jabez,4 Pierson;3 John,2 Samuel1), only son of Capt. Israel and Lydia (Richardson) Manning, of Sterling, Mass.; born there 1788; married Mary Talley, of Goffstown, N. H.
He graduated at Brown University, Providence, in 1817; studied divinity with Rev. Nathanael Emmons, D. D., of Franklin, Mass. He has preached in various places, and with a good degree of success. About 1819, he preached in Goffstown, N. H., to a small, feeble church, which had been nine years without a pastor. The Lord blessed his labors; a revival of religion commenced, resulting in nearly one hundred conversions. He did not settle there, but went to Vermont as a missionary. As such, he labored in Plymouth, in the county of Windsor, in that State, where a still greater revival took place, extending to other towns, especially to Ludlow, an adjoining town. He received ordination as the first minister in Plymouth, Nov. 20, 1823. He was a minister in Epsom, near Pembroke, N. H., in 1833, and in other places.

The third meeting-house in Woburn, near the common, finished in 1752, having been reduced to ashes on the night of June 17, 1808, the town voted, June 19th, to build a new one. A committee of three, viz.: Major Benjamin Franklin Baldwin, Lieut. Willard Jones, and Lieut. Bartholomew Richardson, jr., were chosen to contract for the materials and workmanship; and such was the. zeal and diligence with which this committee discharged their trust, that within one year from the destruction of the former house the new one was ready for occupation, and was solemnly dedicated June 28, 1809. The pews were sold by auction June 19th, and the proceeds of the sale amounted to $10,911, exceeding the cost of the building by $3,000. He was a selectman of Woburn in 1837 and 1844.

* An obituary notice appeared in the Concord, N. H., Gazette of Aug. 8, 1815, two weeks after her death, from which we extract the following:
“To a vigorous and well-cultivated mind and a heart susceptible of every virtuous impression, Mrs. Colman added that fervent and rational piety so necessary in forming a complete character. As an affectionate wife, a tender parent, a friend and a Christian, she is deeply lamented. Though she had resided but a short time in the Society [Congregational in Boscawen], yet the deep impression which her virtues made on those who are capable of estimating true worth of character has hardly ever been exceeded. She rested on Christ alone for salvation, and proved her faith by her works. She bore her last painful illness with exemplary fortitude and resignation.”

 Abijah Richardson6 (Barnabas,5 Edward,4 Jacob,3 John,2 Samuel1), second son of Barnabas5 and Rebecca (Tidd) Richardson; born in Woburn, March 20, 1761; married, March 5, 1789, Elizabeth Richardson6 [2301], born Feb. 23, 1763, daughter of Joseph and Abigail (Felton) Richardson, of Woburn.
They lived in Woburn, near the line of Stoneham, until 1791 or 1792, when they removed to Peterborough, N. H., in the north-east part of that town. In March, 1794, they, with their three small children, removed from Peterborough to Dublin, N. H., an adjoining town. The snow was about three feet deep in the woods, it being on the declivity of the Grand Monadnock. His means of subsistence being very scanty, he took his family into a small log-hut in the woods, the best accommodation he could then obtain. In June following, as he was clearing up a piece of land, a tree which he was cutting down in its fall threw him high in the air. On coming to the ground his shoulder was broken and he was otherwise severely injured. He was at first completely bewildered, and reached his cabin only by the help of his wife. He was for a long time laid aside from labor. Thus disabled, he could not supply the needs of his children when asking for a piece of bread.
One night there was nothing in the house to eat, and the family went to bed without their supper. The children, the oldest being under the age of five years, thought it rather hard; but their father comforted them by the assurance that they should have their food when he and mother had theirs. The next morning a Mr. Todd, one of the neighbors, chanced to call, and the father told him of his destitute condition. “Well, Well!” said the old gentleman, “such things ought not so to be!” He started immediately for home, and soon returned with bread and milk and other provision, sufficient to last till other arrangements could be made. The first time he went out to work, after he was able to do anything, he cut his foot badly with the axe.
The father’s health was poor, and on his eldest son, Abijah, even in early boyhood, devolved many duties which most boys escape. For instance, he had to chop wood for the kitchen fire. Many a time, in cold weather, he had to do this with no shoes to his feet. He would take a board, heat it by the fire, and carry it out to stand on to protect his bare feet and keep them out of the snow. This boy Abijah afterwards gave convincing evidence of piety and became a deacon in the church. He was living in 1874. The other children, so far as I gin informed, did well in life.
The parents were good people. They transferred their relation from the church in Woburn to the church in Dublin.
In July, 1840, the father fell from a load of hay, broke his back and run the pitchfork into his leg. He died within three days afterwards. All these accidents happened on a spot not forty rods square.
He died and went to his final rest July 12, 1840, in his eightieth year. His wife Elizabeth died Jan. 9, 1853, in her ninetieth year. After her husband’s death she lived with her son Malachi in the homestead.

Stephen5 and Martha (Wyman) Richardson; born in Woburn, Oct. 19, 1780; married, Dec. 4, 1823, Mary Carter Brewster (Coolidga) Baldwin, born Sept. 11, 1784, daughter of Benjamin Coolidge5 and Mary Carter Brewster. Her father Benjamin Coolidge,5 born 1752, was a merchant in Boston, but retired from business and lived in Woburn, where he died in 1819. Her mother, whose name she bore, was a descendant of Elder William Brewster, of Plymouth. She, the mother, died in 1820, aged 63.
The lady first named in this paragraph was first married, May 1, 1808, to Col. Benjamin Franklin Baldwin, born Dec. 15, 1777, second son of Col. Loammi Baldwin, of Woburn. Col. B. F. Baldwin died Oct. 11, 1821, aged 43. For her children by this marriage see note below.*
Wyman Richardson, her second husband, graduated at Harvard College, 1804; studied law; practised law at Woburn. He died in Woburn of an affection of the heart, June 22, 1841, aged 61. Her third husband, married March 4, 1845, was Burrage Yale, Esq., of South Reading, now Wakefield. This was a very unfortunate connection for her. She was a most estimable, accomplished, and worthy lady. He was in every respect unfit to be her husband, and they soon separated.†

The children of Wyman Richardson by this lady were:
  1. Wyman Baldwin,7 b. Dec. 8, 1824; m. Nov. 8, 1846, Mary Ann Mackintire, of Danvers. He is a currier in South Danvers, now Peabody. He had two children:

*Col. Benjamin Franklin Baldwin was a descendant, in different lines, of the two brothers, Ezekiel1 and Samuel Richardson,1 who united with others in the founding of Woburn, 1641. Phebe Richardson,2 the eldest daughter of Ezekiel, was the wife of Henry Baldwin, the first American ancestor of the Baldwin family in America. Ruth Richardson,4 a great-granddaughter of Samuel Richardson,1 was the grandmother of Col. B. F. Baldwin.6
Col. B. F. Baldwin lived at “New Bridge.” or North Woburn, as did his father before hint. Like his father and brother, he devoted himself to the study and practice of civil engineering, and assisted his brother Loammi (born in Woburn, May 16, 1780) in the construction of the great mill dam across the Back Bay in Boston and in other public improvements. He died suddenly, Oct. 11, 1821, aged 43.
His children, by Mary C. B. Coolidge, were:
  1. Mary Brewster (Baldwin), b. March 26,1809; d. Dec. 28, 1817.
  2. Clarissa (Baldwin), b. Nov. 29, 1810; d. July 15, 1813.

†Burrage Yale was born in Meriden, Conn., March 27, 1781; descended from Capt. Thomas Yale, an early settler of the colony of New Haven, and an ancestor of Governor Yale, from whom Yale College received its name. He came to South Reading, about 1810, as a tin peddler, barefoot, walking by the side of his tin cart. He pursued the business of making and selling tin ware till he became one of the heaviest tin ware dealers in the State, employing in the sale one hundred peddlers. In 1812 or 1813, he opened an extensive country store in his house. He was a very shrewd and accomplished business man and accumulated a large estate. But the report is, that his habits and proceedings in his family were so ungentle, so harsh and unreasonable, that his wife, who had been accustomed to kinder usage, could not live with him and went to live with her relatives in Connecticut. He died in 1860, aged 79.

‡ Elias Phinney, born in Nova Scotia, 1780; graduated, Harvard College, 1801; practiced law in Thomaston and Charlestown; came to Lexington, 1823; had a farm in the south part of Lexington in a high state of cultivation. See a further notice of him in Hudson’s Hist. of Lexington, p.480.

Third, Dec. 4, 1834, Grace (Stearns) Barnard, born Jan. 19, 1790, daughter of Jonathan and Mary (Bigelow) Stearns, of Waltham, and widow of Jacob Barnard, a noted innkeeper of Boston.
The following notice of Dr. Richardson is copied from the History of Old Reading by Lilley Eaton:
“From early life he was very fond of books; When sent to the post-office, several miles distant, with money to buy his dinner, he would go without his dinner and use the money to buy a book. On the way home he would allow the horse to move at his own will and give himself to reading the new volume.
“This love of reading continued through life. He was especially fond of poetry. Pope’s Essay on Man, Milton’s Paradise Lost, and the entire book of Job he could repeat throughout.
“He studied medicine with the eminent Dr. Kittredge, of Reading. He commenced practice as a physician in North Reading about the time of his first marriage, 1805. He had the custom of that parish and several neighboring towns.
“After several years’ residence in that place he removed to the West Parish, the present town of Reading. After the death of his wife, 1820, he determined to remove to Cambridge; but some of the prominent citizens of South Reading, with Burrage Yale at their head, unwilling that so excellent a physician should leave the neighborhood, prevailed on him to remove to that place. He accordingly removed thither in 1821.
“He became identified with South Reading, and during the remainder of his life was one of its most active citizens. He was foremost in every plan for the improvement and welfare of the town. Although in the receipt of a generous income, he would never present a bill for professional services. His ledger was a curiosity, showing nothing on the debit side. In cases where a physician at the present day would obtain one hundred dollars or more, his fee would be a sum so insignificant as to provoke a smile.
“Probably no physician of that day had so large a practice. In pulmonary cases he was without a rival. His practice extended through the New England States, and obliged him to erect a private hospital at his own home. During his days of practice at home, the carriages of his patients would line both sides of the main street near his residence.
“He died, very suddenly, of apoplexy, Sept. 17, 1837, aged 56. A monument was erected to his memory by his son, Dr. Solon 0. Richardson.”
His third wife, left a widow, died Nov. 26, 1872, aged 82.

 Luther Richardson6 Esq. (Jeduthun,5 Thomas,4 Samuel,3 Smauel,2 Samuel1), brother of the preceding, and son of Dea: Jeduthun Richardson6 born in Woburn, Aug. 25, 1774; married Aug. 3, 1803, Susanna Crafts, born May 2, 1782, daughter of Daniel and Abigail Crafts, of Roxbury.
He graduated at Harvard College, 1799; studied law, had an office in Boston, and resided in Roxbury. He is said to have been a good lawyer. He died Nov. 14, 1811, aged 37.
In his will, recorded Norfolk Prob. Records, p. 174, he gives to his son Augustus Luther a silver table urn marked ad filium gold watch; gold shell snuff-box, and library. “The reason for not giving him anything further is not for want of parental affection, but because I think it will be more for his lasting benefit and usefulness to dispose of my estate as I shall hereinafter.” The testator also gives to his daughter Susanna a large silver tankard, marked L. S., and a gold ring. “The reason for giving her no more is the same as in the case of Augustus Luther.” He gives the whole remainder to his wife Susanna, she to educate and support the children at her discretion; who are to have the property at her death. He would rather his son would be educated to be a good citizen, than to hazard the chance of his being an eminent man at greater expense.
The affair turned out poorly. The estate was heavily in debt. It required many months to settle it. The personal estate was not sufficient to pay the debts, and it became necessary to sell the real estate, and the reversion of the widow’s dower. The receipts were $8,822.70; payments, mostly to creditors, $8,049.51. The real estate consisted chiefly of land in Roxbury and Stoneham.
The widow Susanna married Elisha Hathaway, of Boston, June 1, 1814, who died March 3, 1850, aged 75. She died Dec. 18, 1850, aged 68.

The children of Luther and Susanna Richardson were:

  2. A child, b. Dec. 5, 1806; d. in infancy.

After reaching his majority, he became the partner of Mr. John West, who had for some years, or since 1792, been a bookseller in Boston.* The firm was West and Richardson, and the store was No. 75 Cornhill—Old Cornhill—now a part of Washington Street, a few steps north of School Street, and very near the Old South Church, but on the other side of the street. The store had been occupied by John West as a bookstore from the year 1800 and probably some years earlier. It is now occupied by William H. Piper & Co.’ and is still used as a bookstore. In a few years, Melvin Lord, who is still living, was taken into partnership.
Mr. Lord has obligingly furnished for this publication the following valuable sketch, which the compiler is happy to insert:
“Eleazar Tyng Fox Richardson was brought up to the book-selling business in the store of John West, No. 75 Old Cornhill, in the building next below [i. e., north] the corner of School Street on the northerly side. Here Mr. West began business in the year 1792, the situation, however, being, then considered rather too high up in town!† On Mr. Richardson coming of age, or about that time, Mr. West took him into partnership. [This would be about 1808.] The firm was West & Richardson. Some years after, Melvin Lord, who had served his time with Thomas & Andrews, was taken into the concern, the firm thereupon becoming West, Richardson & Lord; Mr. West, however, was only a nominal partner, he having previously retired from the business and gone into paper-making in Taunton.‡ Before long, Mr. West’s name was dropped, the firm being reduced to the actual participants, Richardson & Lord.
“Mr. Richardson died in May, 1829, leaving the management of the business, for a time, wholly in the hands of Mr. Lord. But matters being arranged, he soon [viz., 1830] took another partner into the business, John CalvinHolbrook,§ continuing the same under the firm of Richardson, Lord & Holbrook, retaining Richardson’s name in identification with the old establishment.
“Mr. Richardson was a very pleasant, sensible man, and of sterling business capacity.
“The transactions of the establishment, taken together, were very extensive. They were not, by any means, confined to the ordinary retail trade of the shop, which, however, was considerable. They had wholesale dealings with nearly, if not quite, every bookseller and publisher, of consequence, in New England, and with many in other parts of the country, especially in the large cities, having at the same time transactions with many literary and professional gentlemen in various places.
“The publications of the house, under its different dynasties, were numerous, and had reference to varied subjects, embracing law, physic, and divinity, together with a long list of school books. In the last-mentioned line they were very much engaged. After 1820, the firm devoted themselves especially to the publication of school books. Many a man, in high standing in the community, has been taught his letters and learned how to spell out of their books. Among the issues of this class of books may be named the following: The Child’s Primer, Webster’s, Perry’s, and Emerson’s Spelling Books, Pierpont’s series of Reading Books, Cyrographical Copy Books, English, Latin, and French Grammars, Arithmetics, Dictionaries, Geographies, Speakers, Histories, universal and particular, Walker’s Geometry, Vose’s and Worcester’s Astronomy, Sullivan’s Moral, Political, and Historical Class-books, Watts’ Logic, Grund’s Philosophy, Hentz’s French Reader, Bailey’s Algebra, School Bibles and Testaments, Bookkeeping, Hall’s School Manual, Whelpley’s Compend of History, Works by William Russell, Peter Parley, and other eminent authors. Of spelling books, the number they issued was very large, one contract with Noah Webster for his spelling book being for the right of publishing three hundred and fifty thousand (350,000) copies, and another for four hundred and twenty thousand (420,000). The Farmer’s Almanac, by Robert B. Thomas, was their publication, and of this they distributed some hundreds of thousands of copies annually. Mr. Richardson himself being a singer, the company, at different periods of the establishment, issued several valuable collections of sacred music in large numbers.” The compiler may add from his own knowledge that Mr. Richardson was very fond of music, one of the original members of the Handel and Haydn Society, of Boston, and the firm published, in 1827, the fifth edition of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society’s Collection of Sacred Music, and in 1830 the ninth edition of the same work.
Mr. Richardson died May 11, 1829, in his forty-third year. His widow married, May 28, 1840, Hon. Anthony Colby, of New London, N. H., who was governor of New Hampshire one year. He died July 20, 1873, aged 80 years, 8 months. The widow is still living, 1875.

The children of Mr. Richardson were:
  1. William Fox,7 b. Feb. 12, 1816; m. first, Elizabeth Bean Messinger; second, Cornelia Brown; third, Mrs. Mary (Brown) Felt, her sister.
  2. Daniel Messenger,7 d. at the age of thirteen.
  3. Charles Tyng,7 d. in childhood.
* I find his name as a bookseller and dealer in blanks and stationery, at No. 75 Cornhill, in a Boston Directory for 1800, printed. by John Russell for Mr. West.

†Very little of the business of Boston was transacted south of Summer Street.

‡John West was of Taunton in 1817.

*Miss Mary Jane Cheney has had a remarkable history. While a student in a Conference Seminary in Schoharie County, N. Y., she accepted an offer to become the preceptress in an academy in North Carolina. She occupied the position between two and three years; then resigned it and came home. Having been at the South so long, the severe winters of the North proved too bracing, and physicians advised a return to Carolina. She accordingly went South in October, 1860, and took a situation as private teacher in a wealthy family, at a high salary. Her term was to close in the June following. But in April, 1861, the war of the Rebellion commenced, and the excitement attendant thereon was so intense, affecting all classes, that it was safe for her neither to depart, nor to remain. Though earnestly desirous to return to the North, she found it would not be permitted. She was compelled, therefore, to remain where she was, and to have her feelings wounded by the invectives, slanders, and calumnies, daily and unsparingly uttered against the northern people. In this abuse, the southern ladies, even those of rank and influence, took the lead.
These ladies, some of them, even walked the streets with revolvers in their belts, evidently watching for an opportunity to shoot anybody who might differ from them. Some of them had actually threatened to shoot“that Yankee teacher,” if they ever set eyes on her again. She, therefore, dared not to go out but under protection from the gentleman, at whose house she was staying. The gentlemen of the South, she says, with very few exceptions, were kind and respectful towards her. She affirms, that on one occasion the mother of the gentleman at whose house she stayed, attempted her life by putting poison in the food designed for her. She and a lady friend, Miss Sarah P. Ballard, from her own native place, teacher of a ladies’ seminary, five miles distant, made several attempts to get away, but passports were refused.
After a stay of some weeks at Raleigh, the capital of the State, Miss Cheney accepted a situation as teacher in a wealthy and influential family in Virginia, where she was promised protection and a good home while the war continued. As money was not to be had, it being all wanted for the supply of the “confederate” armies, the gentleman stipulated that for teaching ten months in his family she should receive two thousand pounds of first-rate yellow-leaf tobacco, well cured and pressed, packed in firstclass hogsheads, ready for delivery as soon as the war was over, and subject to her order.
Her school in this gentleman’s house continued a year and a half. She labored very hard to keep up the interest of the scholars, and had the satisfaction of seeing her school a marked success. Families for miles around sent their daughters, and had them boarded in the vicinity, to receive the benefit of the thorough discipline and instruction there given; and the original number was more than doubled. But even in this kind family, she was daily and deeply pained by observing the feelings of hatred expressed towards the North, and the stories exultingly related of cruel treatment inflicted on prisoners who had fallen into the power of the “secesh” officers. She had to be a quiet listener, and to appear perfectly unmoved, though, for aught she knew, one of her own brothers might be a sufferer in the case. It was to her like dying by inches.
At length, when almost in despair of any favorable turn, an opportunity was presented by the kindness of an honorable gentleman in North Carolina, to her and her friend, Miss Ballard, to get away. They were included in a list of about one hundred and fifty “refugees,” who, under some sort of arrangement, were allowed to depart. They were taken to Newberu, N. C., then occupied by Federal troops, and there delivered to the care of Federal officers. They came to New York by water. She reached home, Oct. 16, 1863.
But the Virginia gentleman, in whose house she had labored so faithfully and so long, refused her the stipulated tobacco, on the plea that he had put his name to no written engagement. And for want of written evidence, the claim could not be collected by law.
This interesting lady now, June 1875, keeps house, her mother having died, for her father at Fort Covington, N. Y.

Children:
  1. Mary Ann,7 b. 1819; she died June 15, 1819, at the age of four months.
  2. Nathan H.,7 b. March 4, 1823; d. Nov. 18, 1828. He weighed 85 pounds when five years old.
  3. Rosina Delight,7 b. April 12, 1834. A prodigy of corpulence. At her birth she weighed but six and a half pounds; at ten months, fifty pounds; at five years old, she weighed one hundred and sixty-three (163) pounds; at the age of seven, two hundred and fourteen (214) pounds; at the age of twenty-one, she weighed four hundred and forty-five (445) pounds. Her stature was five feet ten inches. She was repeatedly carried about the country on exhibition. These statements were made in print, and verified. She was not all flesh, for it is said she was intelligent and affable.. She became the wife of John A. Woods, March 11, 1869, and now lives, I am informed, in the State of Florida. She has no children. Her first exhibition to the public was in 1839, when she was five years old. This tour was undertaken, it is said, partly for the sake of her health, which, it was supposed, might be benefitted by the journey. The journey occupied five or six weeks, and included Lowell, Boston, and the neighboring towns. At the age of seven, when weighing 214 pounds, her parents were persuaded again to exhibit her to the public, both in the New England Museum at Boston, and in the Lowell Museum for the space of eight weeks. In October, 1852, being then at the age of eighteen, and extremely corpulent, another journey was undertaken; another in August, 1853, and again in October, 1853, when she was carried to Philadelphia., Washington, D. C., and other cities. In January. 1854, Col. J. H. Wood, who already had a museum in Cincinnati, and desired to have another in Philadelphia, proposed that she should accompany him in a tour through the principal cities of the Union. The proposal was accepted, and she was exhibited in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, Pittsburgh, Wheeling, Steubenville, Zanesville, Newark, Lancaster, Circleville, Chilicothe, Columbus, Springfield, Dayton, Cincinnati, and. Louisville. She was visited -by thousands. She was no doubt extremely corpulent; but that she ever weighed eight hundred pounds, or that it ever took 155 yards of calico to make her a full dress, as was reported, it is impossible to believe. The utmost credulity cannot extend her weight beyond four hundred or four hundred and fifty pounds. For so much, I have the statement of a lady who knew her and had no motive to deceive.

 Deacon Joseph Richardson6 (Joseph,5 David,4 David,3 Samuel,2 Samuel1), brother of the preceding, and son of Joseph and Mary (Carpenter) Richardson; born in Standish, Maine, July 3, 1785; married, May 26, 1808, Charlotte Thompson, born in South Reading, Mass., now Wakefield, May 2, 1786. She was the daughter of Isaac Snow Thompson, M. D., by his wife Charlotte Hayes. Dr. Thompson was a physician in Baldwin, Maine, eldest son of Daniel Thompson, who was killed by a British grenadier, on the retreat of the British troops from Concord, April 19, 1775 [see 1919].
Soon after birth, his parents removed with him from Standish to Baldwin, then called Flint’s town, from Eleazar Flint, one of the early settlers, and a large proprietor of that township. Thus the scenes amid which he was brought up were singularly wild and romantic. On a large rock, the children used to play. One day Joseph and his sister Abigail were near it amusing themselves, when seeing a large black bear with cubs approaching, they supposed it a dog, and called it “Bose.” The unmolested brutes went on their way, leaving the children unharmed, to tell the thrilling story in riper years.
In the midst of the forest was the “camp” where the family made maple sugar. Here Joseph, while tending the kettles, employed his leisure moments in reading and committing to memory select verses and hymns from a fragment of a book, which, together with a well-worn copy of the Scriptures, constituted almost the entire family library. These hymns, so often sung and repeated, were a source of great enjoyment to him in after life, and their influence was not lost, perhaps is not yet lost upon his children. In a log hut, in the corner of a large fire-place, by the light of pitch-pine knots, he learned to cypher, on a piece of whetstone. In these simple ways his education commenced, but he always took pleasure in adding to it. Finding his way to Fryeburg Academy, he became a successful teacher of common schools.
His wife was an active, devoted Christian; the first person who taught a grammar school in Baldwin. Soon after their marriage, they removed to a place in Baldwin, on the westerly slope of Saddleback Mountain, where all their children were born.
He cultivated and owned a farm in that place, and was respected and honored by all. He was deacon of the Congregational Church in Baldwin and Sebago from its organization, in 1821, till his death. This church has always been small. He, and especially his wife, took a lively interest in its welfare. He was one of the original trustees of ministerial and school funds till his death. He was clerk of said boards for several years; selectman, assessor, and superintending school committee-man at various times; justice of the peace, etc.
Many conveyances of land by him are on record in the Cum-berland Registry of Deeds. The last is dated 1843, two parcels of land, respectively of sixty and fifty acres, both in Baldwin, on Saco River, to Ephraim Flint, of Baldwin, formerly Flint’s town. [Cumb. Deeds, cccxxxi. 109.]
About the year 1832, he changed his residence to a more easterly part of Baldwin, where be died, Sept. 21, 1848, aged 63. Charlotte, his wife, died there, Feb. 26, 1843, in her fifty-seventh year.

Their children, all born in Baldwin, were:
  1. Charlotte Thompson,7 b. May 20, 1809; d. July 29, 1811.
  2. Mary,7 b. April 1, 1811; m. Rev. Elkanah Walker.
  3. Joseph Carpenter,7 b. March 3, 1813; unm.; grad. Bowdoin College, 1840. He taught school successively in and near Philadelphia. Ill health compelled him to spend some months at his home in Baldwin. His health being somewhat improved he accepted the charge of the Mathematical department in the Seminary in Gorham, Me. He was an able mathematician. He was successful in this employment about two years, when he was seized with inflammation of the lungs, in consequence of which he died in Baldwin, Sept. 26, 1846.

† The Dearborn Family.
  1. Godfrey Dearborn was the progenitor of the Dearborn Family in the United States so far as is known. He is said to have been a native of Exeter, in England. He came from England after 1634 and previous to 1639. His name does not occur in a list of the freemen of Massachusetts. It appears that he settled in Exeter, N. H. He was one of the thirty-five who, with Rev. John Wheelwright, signed the compact at Exeter in 1639. He lived in Stratham, then a part of Exeter; was selectman of Exeter, 1648; afterwards removed to Hampton.
  2. Thomas Dearborn, his son, was born in England in 1634; came with his father and lived in Hampton, N. H. He was a deacon; died April 14, 1710.
  3. Ebenezer Dearborn, his son, was born in Hampton, Oct. 3, 1689; his wife was Abigail Sanborn, born Oct. 1, 1686, daughter of Joseph Sanborn. The charter of Chester, N. H., is dated May 8, 1722. He is one of the grantees named in the charter, but was living in Hampton, 1729. He shortly after removed to Chester; was selectman, deacon, captain, etc., and died March 15, 1772.
  4. Benjamin Dearborn, his third son, was born in Hampton, Aug. 13, 1713; married -- Colcod, of Kingston, N. H. He sold his property in Hampton, November, 1767, and removed to Plymouth, N. H.
  5. Capt. Samuel Dearborn, his son, was born in Hampton, 1745; removed with his father to Plymouth, N. H.; was the father of Polly Dearborn in the text. The genealogy of the Dearborn family may be found in Chase’s History of Chester and in the N. E. Geneal. Register, vol. ii. p. 81, et seq.

He removed from Chatham, N. H., to the neighboring town of Fryeburg, Me., in 1802; thence to Canada East in 1803, where he remained nearly four years; thence, late in 1806, he removed to Belmont County, Ohio, on the Ohio River, in the eastern part of that State; next, in 1809, to Hamilton County, near the mouth of the Little Miami River and near Cincinnati; again, in 1812, to Houston, Shelby County, Ohio, on the upper waters of the Great Miami River, where was his home till he died. When he first lived there the country was new, and during the war of 1812 the settlers were much exposed to the incursions of the Indians. While many other people in that region, for security, left their homes and took refuge in forts and block-houses, he remained at home with his numerous family, fortifying his buildings, which were probably constructed of logs, as well as he could, and was never seriously molested.
He died at Houston, Dec. 15, 1822, aged 53 years, 10 months, and 19 days. His wife Phebe survived him, and lived on the home farm with her son Snow till 1834. She then went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Nancy Spear, still in Houston, where she died, June 4, 1850, in her seventy-ninth year.

 Miriam Richardson6 (Joseph,5 Amos,4 Stephen,3 Stephen,2 Samuel1), eldest offspring of Joseph5 and Miriam (Hildreth) Richardson; born in Pelham, N. H., Aug. 24, 1768; married Joshua Wyman,5* Sept. 9, 1788.
They removed from Pelham to Cornish, N. H., in March, 1794, and passed the remainder of life in that town. Mr. Wyman was a man of a strong, well-balanced mind; he was highly esteemed in the town where he lived, and was one of the board of selectmen at the time of his death. He and his wife were admirable specimens of the old Puritan character, of that character which, under God, has sustained New England through so many perils and has made it what it is. They held fast the form of sound words, which came down from the early ages; they always attended public worship whatever the state of the weather, and the country being new, usually, at least for many years, went on horseback. The husband and father, when he found death approaching, called his family of eight children to his bed-side and affectionately addressed them, one by one, on the great concerns of eternity, giving them such counsel as only a Christian father can address to his children in a dying hour. The result was, five of the children, soon after his death, became, as was hoped, the regenerate children of God. He died at the early age of thirty-eight, June 9, 1815. A funeral sermon, preached by Rev. Joseph Rowell, the pastor of the Congregational Church in Cornish, was published, accompanying which was Mr. Wyman’s dying address to his wife and children.
His wife was eminently worthy of such a husband. She outlived him more than thirty years, and brought up in the fear and love and service of God her large family of children. She was a noble Christian woman. She had great strength of character. She managed with great skill and success a large farm. Her house was always the abode of peace and joy. She looked well to the ways of her household, and in due time they all rose up and called her blessed. They all grew up to be godly men and women, prosperous in worldly affairs, and respected in society. All were members of evangelical churches except one son, and he died in the hope of eternal life through the merit of a glorious Redeemer. Nor has the blessed influence of her instructions, examples, and prayers yet been lost among her posterity, as the compiler has opportunity to know. Her youngest son, Edward Wyman, who lived in the adjacent town of Newport, rose to the rank of brigadier general in the New Hampshire militia, besides filling many other places of trust.
Mrs. Miriam (Richardson) Wyman died Dec. 17, 1848, in her eighty-first year.

Her children were,

He was one of the firm of Ingraham, Richardson & Co., cotton manufacturers, Attleborough. This firm commenced business in Attleborough in 1811. It consisted of Elijah Ingraham, whose wife was a daughter of Col. Stephen Richardson, of Moses Richardson, a son of Col. Stephen, of this Abiathar Richardson, jr., and, I think, also of Ezra Ingraham, who married another daughter of Col. Stephen Richardson. Afterwards a Mr. Whitaker was added to the firm, which then became Whitaker, Richardson & Co. Their factory was in East Attleborough. At length the concern assumed the name of Mechanics Factory.
Abiathar Richardson, jr., was representative of Attleborough in 1815, 1820, 1821, 1827.
What children he had I know not, except that he had a son:
  1. Abiathar Augustus,7 who died young, but bequeathed to the parish of East Attleborough the handsome sum of eleven thousand dollars, to constitute a school fund to be under the direction of a board of trustees, to be chosen annually by said parish.

 Edward Richardson6 (Abiathar,5 William,4 William,3 Stephen,2 Samuel1), brother of the preceding; born in Attleborough, July 27, 1785.

The business for some years was quite prosperous. Major Tyler was a very capable man; the father of Rev. William Tyler, settled as pastor in South Weymouth, and lately died at Auburndale, at an advanced age.

Her mother was a daughter of Seth Gilbert, of Norton, Mass. Second, Eliza Andrews, of Providence, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Gladding) Andrews. Her father was a son of Zephaniah Andrews; her mother was a daughter of Nathaniel Gladding, of Providence.
He lived in East Attleborough, and was a partner with his second cousin, Abiathar Richardson, jr., and his brothers-in-law, Elijah Ingraham and Ezra Ingraham (who as I understand married his sisters), as owners and managers of a cotton manufactory in East Attleborough from 1811 to 1822 and probably longer. Moses Richardson was, some of the time at least, the managing partner, and transacted most of the business. The firm was Ingraham, Richardson & Co. There was also a firm, Richardson, Ingraham & Co., composed, I believe, of the same individuals. My father conducted their business in Boston.
Moses Richardson afterwards lived in Providence, and died there Aug. 9, 1859, aged 85.
He had by first wife, three children, whose names are not known, and all deceased.

When a mere boy, he ran away and enlisted as a soldier in the Continental army, but his mother followed him on horseback and brought him back.
He was in early life engaged in cutting nails, and was the first to apply water power to that business. He afterwards engaged in the cotton manufacture; putting out the yarn to weave in private families, as was then the custom, there being no power looms at that time. In 1804, he purchased land and a water privilege for a mill-site, in the northeast part of Attleborough, on the Ten-mile River, a branch of Pawtucket River, and near Wrentham. He erected a small cotton factory there, which was destroyed by fire about 1824.
His mother, Ruth Woodcock, was a descendant from John Woodcock, who owned the garrison-house where the Hatch house now stands. It was built for the security of the inhabitants against the Indians.
He was a captain in the militia, a leading man in Attleborough, and a deputy sheriff. He held town offices for many years, and represented that town in the legislature of Massachusetts in 1811, 1812, and 1813.
