H., May 18, 1743, d. Apl. 24, '88. " He was the oldest son of an intelligent and pious father. From a letter addressed to him by his father, a few days previous to his ordination, containing most affectionate and faithful advice, we learn, that when seven years of age he was visited with a violent fever, which reduced him so low as to leave little hope of his recovery. Under the anxiety and distress produced by the forbidding prospect of losing a child upon whom he doted, his father writes ; 'retiring from the bed to another chamber, I spread my case before the great God, and prayed carnestly for the life of the child, - yet with sub- mission, - that if it might be consistent with his holy will to spare his life, and to bring him back from the grave's mouth, and restore him to health, I would then according as he should enable me, give him up, and devote him to his service ; and by his grace, I have been enabled, in some measure, to perform those vows which my lips uttered, and my mouth spake when I was in trouble.' In addition to his baptismal dedication to God in infancy, his father says, 'you have been, by a more particular and renewed promise of your father, given and devoted to God's service.' And there is no inconsiderable ground for believing, that the prayers, and vows, and pious efforts of the father, in regard to this son, were not unavailing. In early life, he professed faith in Christ, and publicly assumed the obligations of his parents in his baptism, and devoted himself to the service of God. He was graduated at Harvard University in 1738; being at that time only twenty years of age. His religious sentiments were Calvinistic; and his preaching was plain, instructive, and evangelical. For about five years before his death, his health was so greatly impaired as to render him unable to preach only occasionally. And perhaps it was owing wholly to this circumstance, that the congregation was induced to procure, in 1784, a dissolution of the pastoral connection subsisting between him and them. But the fact, which seems the most unpleasant upon this subject, is, that having fallen behind in the pay- ment of his salary, the people should refuse his pecuniary claims, and compel him to the ungrateful task of a civil prosecution. The demand was, however, ultimately discharged without a legal process ; greatly to the credit of the people, and the satis- faction of the pastor. From the time of this settlement to his death, peace and good feeling prevailed ; as is evident from the fact, that after his dismission the town ex- empted his estate from taxation, and appropriated, for the the use of his family, a seat in the Meeting-house." [See Fitch's His. Dis. ] He m. Mary Angier, Nov. 9, '43, who d. Jan. 4, 1754 ; 2d, Margaret Appleton, '55 ; 3d w. Mary Haley, '70. I. Joshua, Oct. 18, 1744, r. a mereli. at Marblehead ; II.

Margaret, Nov. 8, '59, m. Nov. 26, 1789, Timothy Dickenson ; Ix. Elizabeth, Jan. 9, '64, passed her days um., and d. in H., at an advanced age. The prayers of a godly ancestry were answered in her early and sound conversion ; and throughout her long life, she was zealously and uniformly devoted to the immortal good of her race, of every color and clime. Precious and admonitory is her memory. It seems to inquire, Who has arisen, who will arise to take her place in the chh. ? and, like her and Susan Anthony, lead a life of prayer, making all whom she meets think of prepara- tion for the life to come, and of the immediate duty of doing more for God in the world ? In her life she devoted her earnings and the proceeds of her property to the cause of Christian benevolence, and by will consecrated all her estate to the use of the Theo. Sem., at Bangor.

Richardson. This is a patronymic ; and when surnames were introduced, there were so many Richards who had sons, as to exclude the idea of a com- mon origin of the Richardsons since the time of Noah. Even in this country so many of the name early appear, and the records are so incomplete, that no individual or association can derive our Richardsons any more than our Smiths, from one stock. The Gen. Register reports, and I have discovered that Symon Richardson, aged 23, and Tho., aged 26, embarked at Grave- send for Virginia, 1635. Tho. arrived in the Speedwell, 1656. Tho., of Chemford, had Mary, 1673. Tho. d. at Woburn, 1774, a. 93. Tho. d. at do., 1773, a. 67 ; Amos, wf. Sarah, had Stephen, 14, (4), 1652, at Bos. Rev. John, d. at Newbury, 1696, in his 50th year; Lt. John, d. at Wo- burn, 1696-7, a. 58; John witnessed a will at Exeter, 1642; John d. at W., 1749, a. 81; Samuel took the freeman's oath, May 2, 1638; Samuel d. at W., 1754, a. 84; Samuel, w. Susanna, d. at W., 1726, a, 56; Samuel d. at W., 1712, aged 66; Ezekiel took the freeman's oath, Oct. 19, 1630. This name occurred early in Needham ; Capt. Josiah was of Chemsford, 1659; Nathan, w. Tabitha, d. at W., 1739, a. 33; Nathan's wid. Esther d. at W., 1727, a. 27; Joshua, d. at W., 1748, aged 68 ; Dea.

Several of this name early settled in Medfield. Tradition says they came from Concord, where the name early occurred, and they were not improb- ably the descendants of Samuel, senr., of Woburn, who was selectman, 1644 -- 5 -- 6-9 -- 51. They were

71. 87. Abijah Richardson, M. D., in 1770, entered Harv. Col., where he remained two years. Ile then commenced the study of Medicine. Having completed his studies, he entered the Revolutionary army in the capacity of surgeon's mate, under Dr. Samuel Whitwell. He afterwards received a surgeon's commission, and continued in the service of his country until the close, or near the close of the war. He then settled as a physician, in Medway, and there con- tinued in the active and successful performance of the duties of his profession until his death, May 10, 1822, a. 70. Few physicians pass their professional career more honored or beloved. He was an eminent Botanist ; indefatigable in the pur- suit of knowledge, and with a memory so retentive that he seldom forgot what he had once acquired. He performed the duties of every relation of life with the most serupulous exactness. He was affable, communicative, benevolent ; but not obtrusive. He was an honor to his profession and to his country ; and for many years to come his memory will be held in grateful recollection in the vicinity in which he lived. He m. Mercy Daniels, who lived until 1854, receiving from her grateful and prosperous country a handsome annual pension, as a token of gratitude for services rendered by her husband in the day which tried men's souls.
