Benjamin, the noted soldier of the Indian Wars. In the life of Col. Church, drawn up by his son Thomas, it is said that Richard's father Jos- eph, "with two of his brethren, came early into New England, as refugees from the religious oppression of the parent state"; and Deane suggests, that Richard, who was early in Hingham, may have been one of these brethren, and hence uncle to the warrior; and this Richard had a son Nathaniel, probably the one who settled in Scituate in 1666, whose farm was on the North river, south of Cornet Stetson's, including the Bald Hills, and his house stood near the river, and nearly opposite to Job's landing.
