(III) Joseph (2), eldest child of Joseph (I) and Susan Richards, was born probably in Worcester, Massachusetts, May 7, 1675. He was brought up in Weymouth and mar- ried, before 1700, Anna of Bridge- water, and they had two children: Joseph (q. v.), and James, who removed south or

He married Mercy, by whom he had several children, of whom two sons, Joseph (q. v.), and Daniel, arrived to maturity and married.

(V) Joseph (4), eldest son of Joseph (3) and Mercy Richards, was born December 27, 1727, in that part of Bridgewater set off as the town of Abington, June 10 1732. He was brought up on his father's farm, and as the eldest son inherited the homestead. He was married in 1750 to Sarah Whitmarsh, born February 14, 1729. They lived on the home- stead where seven children were born to them, as follows: I. Sarah, April 21, 1751, married Read, resided and died in the town of Abington, Plymouth county. 2. Susannah, December 23, 1752, married Daniel Nash, and resided and died in Cummington, Massa- chusetts. 3. Joseph, December 29, 1754, mar- ried Hannah Snow, in 1783. She was born May 16, 1768, and died about 1837-38, at Columbus, Ohio. They resided at Cumming- ton, Massachusetts, 1803-13, and at Harris- burg, New York, where they raised a family of energetic children who became teachers. 4. James, May 31, 1757, married Lydia Shaw, of Abington, born July 3, 1757, died August 20, 1828. James Richards was a soldier in the American revolution, and was a pensioner under the United States law governing pen- sions to soldiers.

Charity Whitmarsh, at Cummington ; removed in 1804 to Harrisburg, Lewis county, New York; was deacon in the Congregational church, and left a large family.

(VI) Nehemiah, son of Joseph (4) and Sarah (Whitmarsh) Richards, was born in Abington, Plymouth county, Massachusetts, January 14, 1760. He was a farmer in the town of Abington, Plymouth county, Massa- chusetts, where he was highly respected and was chosen to various local town offices and was also justice of the peace for a long period of his active business life. He was married soon after reaching his majority to Hannah Shaw, of Abington, and through this marriage became the father of seven children, born in Abington, on the homestead farm between 1781 and 1800, in the order as follows: Orestes, Evetus, Nehemiah, Dares (q. v.), Lysander, Venila, Hannah. He died in Abing- ton, Plymouth county, Massachusetts, full of years and honors, and with the esteem of his neighbors and the community generally.

(VII) Dares, son of Nehemiah and Hannah (Shaw) Richards, was born in Abington, Plymouth county, Massachusetts, about 1790, and died about 1842, at Cummington, Hamp- shire county, Massachusetts, when fifty-two years of age. He removed in early manhood to Milford. Otsego county, New York, where he carried on a farm of one hundred and twenty-five acres. He inherited the instinct of trade and commerce, exercised by his pro- genitors, as well as their disposition to remove to new places, and try their fortune among new surroundings. This trait had not been manifested in the last three generations. The surroundings of the homestead at Abington, and the fact that the mothers of their children were also to the manner born, kept down the spirit of change in his father, grandfather and great-grandfather, but was strong in Dares, who broke away from home surrounding before marriage. He was not satisfied with the profits derived from his one hundred and twenty-five acres, and to add to his income he peddled the product of the place in the neigh- boring towns and bought up in his travels eggs, butter, poultry and farm produce and sold it at the best market prices. His business kept him on the road, and he found no time to give to local politics or town affairs and thus kept out of public office. He was a Whig in political faith, and was a member of the Methodist church. He married Dorcas, daughter of Benjamin Wescott, of Milford. Her father was a very successful farmer, who

had accumulated a considerable fortune, and was a man of large local influence. The chil- dren of Dares and Dorcas (Wescott) Rich- ards were born in Milford, Otsego county, New York, in the order as follows: Harriet, Rodolphus P. (q. v.), Venila, Loomis, James, Emma, Amy, an infant who died very soon after birth. The mother of these children lived to be seventy-six years of age. The family removed from Milford, New York, to Cummington, Massachusetts, where the father died at the age of fifty-two years. His early death left the care of the children largely to the mother, and the loss also made the boys earnest and willing helpers in bearing the burden of support of so large a family.

(VIII) Rodolphus Palford, son of Dares and Dorcas (Wescott) Richards, was born in Milford, Otsego county, New York, Septem- ber 5, 1826. He was brought up on his father's farm and was his father's chief de- pendence in carrying it on while he engaged in the business of merchandising farm produce. He attended district school in the winter sea- son, and when twenty-one years of age went to Springfield, where he kept the books and delivered goods for Adams & Rowland, butchers and dealers in meats and vegetables. He held this position 1847-52, and found sim- ilar employment with other merchants 1852-59. He then ventured with a partner named Aldrich in business, and the firm of Aldrich & Richards dealt in meat and groceries in Spring- field, 1859-61, when the firm dissolved and Mr. Richards worked for other business con- cerns in a like trade for several years. His business life in Springfield extended over a period of forty years, and he retired with a competence in April, 1906, having attained the age of eighty years. He had in addition to this handsome estate on which he lived in Springfield, a farm of one hundred and twenty_ six acres at East Longmeadow, Hampden county, where his children spent the summer months, and to which he frequently repaired for recreation and change of employment. He married, October 26, 1853, Sarah Eliza, daugh- ter of Colonel Loren and Polly ( Porter ) Burt, of East Longmeadow. She was a member of the Congregational church, and had a large circle of friends among the best families of her native town and in the city of Springfield where her permanent residence and city home was located. The children of Rodolphus Pal- ford and Sarah Eliza ( Burt) Richards were born in East Longmeadow, Hampden county, Massachusetts, as follows: 1. Ella, February

(IX) James Loren, son of Rodolphus Pal- ford and Sarah Eliza (Burt) Richards, was born in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, January 8, 1858. He was brought up in the city of Springfield, spending many of his boy- hood days on his father's farm, where he acquired the habit of industry, accompanied by much hard work, and was a sturdy boy accus- tomed to all the sports and athletic exercise at the public and high school in Springfield, where he was graduated at the age of sixteen years. After leaving school he went into a bank as clerk. In 1876 he went to Boston to take a clerkship in the tobacco trade, his first year being employed in the retail trade. Later he engaged in the wholesale tobacco trade, although only eighteen years of age. He became associated with Austin R. Mitchell, who besides conducting an extensive tobacco business on his own account was the eastern agent for the well known New York tobacco and snuff manufacturing concern of P. Loril- lard & Company. Mr. Richards was admitted a partner in the concern in Boston, which thus became on the retirement of Mr. Mitchell in 1895, J. L. Richards & Company. He extended his connection with the tobacco trade by ac- cepting a directorship in the Harry Weissenger Tobacco Company of Louisville, Kentucky, and a directorship and the vice-presidency of the Universal Tobacco Company of New York. He was one of the promoters of the Wellesley & Boston Street Railway Company, held a large share of its capital stock and served as the first treasurer of the corporation. This led to his affiliation with six distinct street railway corporations of one of which he be- came president. He also became interested in the Boston gas situation and was made presi-

dent of the Boston Gas Light Company; of the South Boston Gas Light Company, of the Roxbury Gas Light Company, and of the Bay State Gas Light Company of Massachusetts, and when these interests were consolidated he was chosen president of the Consolidated Gas Light Company of Boston, the title under which the merged companies became reincor- porated. He is president and director of the Boston Consolidated Gas Company, Chelsea Gas Light Company, East Boston Gas Com- pany, Citizens' Gas Light Company of Quincy, Federal Coal & Coke Company, Waltham Gas Light Company, Lexington & Boston Street Railway Company, Newton Street Railway Company, Newton & Boston Street Railway Company, Newtonville & Watertown Street Railway Company, Middlesex & Boston Street Railway Company, Norumbega Park Com- pany ; vice-president and director of the Mass- achusetts Bonding & Insurance Company ; president and trustee of the New England Gas & Coke Company and of the New England Coal & Coke Company; director of the Com- monwealth Trust Company and Newton Trust Company, and Newton Real Estate Associa- tion of Newton; trustee of the Boston Suburban Electric Companies. These multi- plied interests he continued to manage and develop to an extraordinary degree, and in all the contests for cheaper service he met the public with clear, frank and businesslike statements of expense and earnings, and ar- ranged a gradual scale of reduction in prices and increase in service which satisfied all the consumers. Mr. Richards married, February 7, 1882, Cora Eveline, daughter of Edward E. and Emily M (Merritt) Towne, of Spring- field, Massachusetts, and their two children were born in Newtonville, Massachusetts, as follows: I. Edwin M., August 11, 1883, a graduate of the Newton high school, class of 1902, and Harvard, 1906, and now an officer in the Newton Street Railway Company.
