JOHN RICHARDSON appears among the early inhabitants of Watertown, Mass. The exact date of his arrival from England in America is not known, but he probably embarked, July, 1635, at London, in the ship Assurance, for Virginia, but arrived in New England as did many in that period who embarked ostensibly for Virginia.
John Richardson, immigrant. received a grant in 1636-7, of one acre of land in the Beaver Brook Plowlands, of Watertown, which is now embraced in the town of Waltham, Mass. He probably left Watertown in 1638, as a follower of the Rev. John Wheelwright, for John Richardson, doubtless the same person, appears in Exeter, N. H., in 1642, whose wife was Hannah Truair. Apprehensive that Exeter, N. H., would come under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, the Rev. Mr. Wheelwright pur- chased several hundreds of acres of land in Webhannet, afterwards Wells, Me., and established a church of which he was the pastor, and John Richardson probably was one of the Rev. Mr. Wheelwright's little flock. He was doubtless the father of John? Richardson who appears in Medfield, and married, in 1679, Rebecca Clark. This is made almost certain by the fact that the sons of John2 Richardson, Joseph and Benja- min Richardson, held lands in Wells, Me., which they sold in 1751. These lands came probably by inheritance from their grandfather, John1 Richardson, who, as we have seen was one of the early settlers of that town. Vid. The Richardson Memorial.
