Mrs. Clark is highly esteemed by all her neighbors and is well known for kindness and charity.

This is an English fam- RICHARDSON ily which does not ap- pear in America until

the beginning of the eighteenth century. As the family was Episcopalian it does not figure in the vital records of church or town out- side of those preserved by Trinity Parish. There is a tradition that the immigrant an- cestor landed first in New Jersey, whence he soon after removed to Boston. His descend- ants have borne an honorable part in the busi- ness and social development of the city, and have filled various official stations of trust and honor, and have also borne their share in the military service.

(I) Jeffrey Richardson is first noticed at Boston in 1720. He was born in 1693, in Yorkshire, England, and died September 29, 1775, in Boston. Nothing is known concern- ing his father except that he was by occupation a brewer. Jeffrey Richardson resided for some years in Pond lane (now Bedford street, Boston), and died at the home of his daughter. Mrs. Scott, on Winter street. In 1744 he was the holder of pew 124, in the gallery of Trinity church. He married, 1731, Anne Kirkland, 1712, died January 5, 1780, in Boston. Chil-

dren : Elizabeth, Anne, Mary, Jacob, Thomas and Jeffrey.

(II) Jeffrey (2), youngest child of Jeffrey (I) and Anne (Kirkland) Richardson, was born February 22, 1743, in Boston, and died there October 26, 1758. He was appren- ticed to John Gray, a ropemaker, whose rope- walk extended from Milk street to Cow lane. He was a little past his majority at the time of the revolution, and an affidavit is on record showing the experience of himself and others with British soldiers before the outbreak of hostilities. He states that on a certain day a group of soldiers appeared at the ropewalk and challenged the workmen to personal com- bat, which challenge was accepted and the sol- diers were driven away discomfited. A little later they returned with a large reinforcement of their comrades, but were again worsted by the sturdy ropemakers. On March 9, 1771, he bought a lot in Cow lane (High street ), and June 8 following bought the adjoining lot which included a dwelling house. In 1784 he bought a residence at the corner of Cow and Griffins lanes (High and Pearl streets), and there resided until the fire of 1794. In Au- gust, 1775, he removed with his family to Dighton, Massachusetts, but returned the next year. He began business on his own account as a ropemaker in 1766, and in 1793 pur- chased a strip of land parallel to Pearl street, to be used for a ropewalk. On July 30, 1794. while hastening to complete his work in order to attend an execution, one of the employees accidentally ignited some of the materials from a kettle of tar and Mr. Richardson's entire property, with his dwelling and brick store and that of many of his contemporaries, was swept away by fire. It was soon after this that the first insurance company was established in Boston. Immediately after the fire the town decided to permit no more ropewalks to be erected in the business district, and granted a tract of marshy land below the common on condition that the grantees build their own sea wall. With five others Mr. Richardson accepted this and received a deed for his ground August 31, 1796. He immediately re- built his house on High street, and September 29, 1800, began the erection of a house on Pleasant street. A year later he began the erection of a store on the same street, and in 1804 sold out his ropewalk. He was a con- stant attendant of Trintiy Church, and on Oc- tober 5, 1778, joined the Free and Independent Whig Society of Observation. There is evi- dence that he was the treasurer of Fire Com ..

pany No. II, and he served as surveyor of hemp from 1790 to 1793, when he resigned. In 1782 he was rated at eleven pounds six shillings, and in 1791 he received a deed of pew No. 99 in Trinity Church, which he re- tained until his death. In 1792, in partner- ship with Captain Parker, he purchased the schooner "Abigail" and began trade with Mar- tinico. He is described as one of the most enterprising men of his time, of benevolent character, and an active member of the Boston Episcopal Charitable Society. He married (first) March 3, 1766, Hannah, daughter of Samuel Webb, who died March 4, 1787 ; (sec- ond ), October 22, 1788, Rebecca, daughter of James Brackett, of Quincy, who died Decem- ber 3. 1843, at the age of eighty years. She was mother of all his children, namely: Jeff- rey, James (died young), James Brackett, Sally Brackett, Ebenezer and Benjamin Parker.

(III) Benjamin Parker, youngest child of Jeffrey (2) and Rebecca ( Brackett) Richard- son, was born April 23, 1802, in Boston, where he died November 17, 1870. He was educated in the public schools of the city. In 1817 he was apprenticed to the mercantile business which had been established by his older broth- ers, and in 1826 became a partner in the busi- ness under the name of J. Richardson & Bros., and consisted of the importation and sale of iron and steel. This business all the brothers continued during their lives, and achieved suc- cess and mercantile renown. He was an active member of Trinity Church, which he represented as a delegate in the Episcopal con- ventions from 1835 to 1839. He was a Whig in early life, and among the founders of the Republican party. He was respected and estcemed by his fellow citizens and served as a member of the school committee and repre- sentative in the general court. He married, November 27, 1828, Rebecca Bridge, of Lit- tleton, Massachusetts, born August 6, 1805, (lied April 1, 1872, in Boston, daughter of John and Sarah (Stevens) Bridge, of Littleton.
