Came to America in 1630 on the "Arabella".

Robertson Family History, page 5.
    Was born about 1596, probably in West Mills, as were his brothers and sisters. Evidently married at Standon. He died in Woburn, 21 Oct 1647. His age at that time did not exceed forty-five, probably as all his children were under 21.
    He married Susanna Bradford who evidently came with him to New England. She married Henry Brooks after Ezekiel's death as it is learned from various business transactions concerning land sales. She died 15 Sept. 1681. Ezekiel came over in the Winthrop Fleet in 1630. He and his wife became members of the Charleston MA church 27 August 1630, having arrived in June of that year.
    Soon after his arrival he and his wife made their home in Charleston and must have shared in the hardships and privations endured by the early settlers.
They lived in a log house rudely constructed with the interstices filled with mud and utterly inadequate for protection against the severe New England winter. All around was dense forest filled with wild animals and hostile native Americans.
    Ezekiel was a man of great respectability and worth, his name often occurring in the Charleston records. In 1633 he was appointed constable by the General Court, a position which was one of the great responsibility. In the following years he was on several important committees., being one of the first board of selectman of the town, and he was a deputy to the General Court in 1634 and 1635. In May of 1640, the town of Charleston petitioned the General Court for an enlargement of her territory. The petition was granted and 5 Nov. 1640 the church of Charleston chose seven men, Edward Convers, Edward Johnson, Ezekiel, Samuel, & Thomas Richardson, John Mousall, Thomas Graves as agents for the erection of a new church and town, to be the name of Woburn at its incorporation from Worburn, Hertsfordshire, England.
    Ezekiel and his brothers Samuel and Thomas, who came in 1636 after he arrived in 1630, were among the pillars of the first church of Woburn. He and his brothers, after their move to Woburn, lived near each on the same street which from them and their posterity came to be known as "Richardson's Row". At the first election of town officers in Woburn, 15 Apr 1644, Ezekiel Richardson was chosen a selectman and continued to hold that office in 1645, 1646, and 1647. He was one of those chosen to lay out a road from Cambridge to Woburn, MA.

1627. Susannah BRADFORD.

SEWALL & LONGFELLOW, by ?, page 215.
    Henry had a grant of five hundred acres of land in Newbury, and was the founder of the town. He was made a freeman, May 16, 1637, at the Court of Election held that year in Cambridge, traveling with others forty miles on foot for the prupose, that he might strengthen the hands of Gov. Winthrop against Sir Henry Vane. He was four times chosen a Representative to the General Court.
    1647 winter he and his wife returned to England with Mrs. Sewall's father and mother, the New England climate
not being agreeable" to Mr. and Mrs. Dummer. They resided first at Warwick, afterwards at Bishop-Stoke and Baddesly in Hampshire. At the last mentioned places and at Tamworth five children were born to them.
    Mr. Sewall made a voyage to New England for the purpose of visiting his father, and in 1659 he came again to New England for the purpose of settling his father's estate, his father having deceased in his absence from the country. He purposed returning to England, but it is certain that he never did. The change in his plans may have been owing to the unsettled state of affairs in EN, or the restoration of King Charles II, and the re-establishment of Episcopacy which followed. He sent for his family.

IMMIGRANT ANCESTORS, by Frederick Adams Virkus, page 60.
    SEWALL, Henry (1614-1700), from Eng., in the "Elizabeth and Dorcas," to Newbury, Mass., 1634; wintered at Ipswich and helped begin that plantation, furnished England with meat, cattle and provisions; dep. General Ct., 1661; m 1646, Jane Dummer.

THE FESSENDEN FAMILY IN AMERICA, by Edwin Allan Fessenden, page 2.

THE SHEPARD FAMILY, A GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF WILLIAM SHEPARD OF FOSSECUT AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS, by David W. Shepard, Aurora, Illinois, 1981. Found in the Joseph Smith Library, Salt Lake City, UT. page 4.
    Thomas, son of William, born in Towcester, Northamptonshire, six miles from Northampton, England, Nov. 5, 1605, and as he states it, "the Powder Treason day, and that very houre of the day, wherein the Parliament should have been blown up by Popish priests, I was then borne, which occasioned my father to give me this name, Thomas: because he said I would hardly believe that ever any such wichedness should be attempted by man agaynst so religious and good Parliament."
    At the age of three years a great plague ravaged through the town of Towcester, "which swept away many in my father's family, both sisters and servants; and I being the youngest and best beloved of my mother, was sent away before the plague broke out to live with my aged grandmother and grandfather in Fossecut, where I was put to keep geese and other such country worke, and all that time much neglected of them."
    From there he was sent to Adthrop, an adjoining town, to reside with an uncle, where he remained until the epidemic had disappeared, when he again returned home, his dear mother having died meanwhile, "but not of the plague."
    His first schooling was under the tutorship of a Mr. Rice, in Towcaster, who kept the Free School there, of whom he speaks as a veritable tyrant.
    At the age of ten and after the deceased of his father, he was committed to the tender mercies of his not-overly fond step-mother, who was to provide for his education, his father having left one hundred pounds with her in trust for that purpose. But from want of a true mother's love, and a perfect indifference as to the lad's future walfare, mentally, morally and spiritually, these obligations were unfulfilled, and to such a degree was he otherwise neglected that his brother John through compassion, took him under his tender care and guardianship, and became as a father unto him until a new teacher (a preacher also) came into town as successor to the tyrant of former days, now deceased, under whose tutition he made rapid progress in the common branches, finally supplemented by a good practical knowledge of Greek and Latin.
    He took his Bachelor's degree at the age of fifteen in 1623; and in 1625, he had finished his course of study and graduated with high reputation for scholarship with the usual honors of the University. In 1625 the degree of Master of Arts was confirred upon him.
    He was later ordained to the ministry and was the first minister of the church in Roxbury, where he received many marks of favor. Subsequently he preached three years at Earles Colne to which place he was invited at the urgent request of more than a dozen ministers; and so great was the impression made upon the hearts of the people that he was strongly urged to remain in the field, to which after due meditation he yielded assent and remained six months longer at 40 pounds per anmum, at the end of which time, his fame having attracted the attention of the Church authorities, (he being a non-conformist) he was apprehended in the process of his labors, Dec. 16, 1630, and was ordered to appear before Biship Laud in London, where he was severely catechised concerning his so-called "heretical preaching", and threatened with divers sorts of persecutions unless he at once desisted from his course. But, like Paul before Aquippa, he was full of courage and kept right on.
