In the year 1636 it is known that he was with William Pyn- chon, who conducted a party of settlers, with their families, through the wilderness, to the Connecticut River, to a place called Agawam, now known as Springfield. There, on the 15th of July, 1636, he made his mark as one of the white wit- nesses to the Indian deed, transferring the land to William Pynchon, Henry Smith and Jehu Burr. This is the first positive date that can be attached to him.
In the very next month. 18th of August, we find him back in Watertown, attending the first recorded meeting of the proprietors of the new town, called by them "Contentment," but which the General Court later ordered to be called "Ded- ham," as supposed, in honor of John Dwight, who came from

BIOGRAPHICAL AND GENEALOGICAL.
Dedham, Eng., and settled in Dedham, Mass. Everett's name is entered in the record, "Eu"ard.""
The proprietors held another meeting on the 29th, but he was not there. On the 5th of September following he was present, and his name was attached to a communication to the General Court, accepting the grant. His name was spelled "Euered," and this continued to be the spelling for several years.
On the 31st December 1636, he was again present at the Dedham proprietors meeting. .
In the following spring at Springfield, 20th March, 1637, a town meeting ordered John Searl and Richard Everet to lay out 24 acres of mowing marsh for Mr. Pynchon.
A year later, 20th February, 1637-8, he is present at a town meeting in Dedham. In the following month, 21st March, 1638 he was reported to have been present in Springfield, at the very exciting interview between Capt. John Mason and William Pynchon, as graphically described in the History of Springfield, by Mason A. Green (pp. 24-28). In this ac- count he is called Mr. Pynchon's "trader." .
On the 28th August and 23d November, the same year, he is recorded as being present at town meetings in Dedham. On the 3d January 1638-9, at Springfield, a general meeting of the plantation appointed a committee of six to lay out bounds both sides of the river, and he was named as one of that committee. This committee appears to have given prompt attention to their work, as they made their report five days later on the 8th January. At the next town meeting in Springfield, 13th of the same month, an assessment was laid to pay a portion of the cost of building the minister's house and another assessment to pay his salary. Everett was as- sessed £I:Ios for the former, and fi for the latter. Three days later he received his only grant of land in Springfield, a lot one rod wide, between John Woodcock's pall, and Good- man Gregory's lot. This lot of one rod wide was probably taken of the town with the view of adding it to Gregory's lot, which Everett was intending to purchase. The committee

on certain highways in 1770 reported: "Comparing Thomas Stebbins record with what was written in the old Town Booke, bearing date of January 16, 1638, namely, It is or- dered that three rod wide of ground which lyes betwixt John Woodcocks pall and Goodman Gregorys that 2 rods shall be appropriated to Goodman Gregory, and one rod to Richard Everett. Goodman Gregory sold his lot to the town, and May Ist, 1645, the town gave said lot to Thomas Stebbins, but we find no mention of that rod that was given to Richard Everett, who deserted the Town. We suppose it fell into the Townes hands again."
On the 25th March, 1639, two months later, he was pres- ent at a Dedham town meeting. For the next 21 months we hear no more of him: undoubtedly he was most of the time at Springfield. On the 29th December, 1640, he is again recorded present at a Dedham town meeting. Up to the preceding May, all affairs had been managed by the town meetings, but in that month it was voted to put the execution of common affairs in the hands of 7 men, who thus came to be called Selectmen.
In 1641 he is in Springfield, when a town meeting orders a new road laid out by the side of his lot. We do not hear from him again for nearly two years, when he is recorded present at the Dedham annual town meeting, 2d January, 1642-3. Meanwhile he has been receiving grants of land in Dedham,-his dividends as a proprietor. On the 6th Feb- ruary, 1642-3, he received 7 acres, 2 roods, I pole. This was upland ground for ploughing, being a dividend of land among all inhabitants,-68 in number; in this division only 9 had larger lots, showing that he was a thrifty, forehanded man, accumulating a goodly amount of this world's goods.
The next month he is again noted at Springfield, 14th March, i642-3, when Henry Gregory proposes to sell his land to Richard Everett, but the town took it themselves. Three months later appears the last record of him, in Spring- field. Under the date of 29th June, 1643, in the Town Re- cords, is entered the marriage of Richard Everett and Mary
569
BIOGRAPHICAL AND GENEALOGICAL.
Winch; she came in the "Francis" of Ipswich, April. 1638, in the family of Rowland Stebbins, aged 15.
From that time forward he made Dedham his permanent home. At the annual town meetings, January I, 1643-4, and 1644-5, he is recorded as being present. This last meeting is one of the most important town meetings ever held, and was far in advance of the times, as it inaugurated the system of free town schools in America, by a vote as follows: "The sd Inhabitants takeing into Consideration the great necesitie of providing some meanes for the Education of the youth of or sd Towne did with a vnanimous consent declare by voate their willingnes to promote that worke promising to put too their hands to prouide maintenance for a Free Schoole in our said Towne.
"And farther did resolue & consent testefying it by voate to rayse the some of Twenty pounds p annu: towards the maintaining of a Schoole m' to keep a free Schoole in our sd Towne."
Forty-two names are recorded as being present, among whom were Richard Everett, John Dwight and Ralph Whee- lock, ancestors respectively of five subsequent college Presi- dents: Edward Everett of Harvard, Alexander H. Everett of Jefferson, Timothy Dwight of Yale, Eleazer and John Wheelock of Dartmouth.
In 1645 the "Great playne" was ordered fenced, and each proprietor was made to build a certain length in proportion to land owned; out of 70 owners, he was the 13th in amount required.
He was admitted into the church in Dedham, March 6, 1646, and his wife, Mary, was received the same day; on the 15th of the same month, "the children of our brother Everard were baptised."
The General Court made him a freeman, May 6, 1646, and from this time on, he served as town officer, and on town committees, frequently being called on to lay out lots and roads. The first was January 1, 1646-7, when, with two oth- ers, he was appointed to lay out to Richard Wheeler and
570
THE FIRST CENTURY OF SPRINGFIELD.
John Farrington, two acres of upland "beyond the house Lott of the said Richard Euered."
The first tax found against him is for his "countrey rate," in 1648, when his house was valued at £4:6:10, being the 57th in point of value, out of 80, and his tax was 3s., being the 78th out of 90 persons assessed.
He gradually acquired property, his tax increasing year by year, until 1660, when he was third in amount assessed, out of 87 names. About this time his children began to get married, to each of whom he gave lands, and his assessed value and tax began to drop.
In 1649 he was reported behind in his highway tax, and fined 2s. In 1650 he was on a committee to take care of re- pairing the bridge over the little river near the house of John Dwight, and the bridge over the mill creek. At the town meeting, January 1. 1650-1, lie is elected one of the 3 survey- ors, and constable.
At a meeting of the Selectmen, August 30, this year, they remit the countrey rate of 14 inhabitants, on account of sick- ness, lameness, &c .; among them was Richard Euered.
He was Constable again in 1652 and '53. In the former year he also served on a committee to lay out the way be- tween Dedham and Braintree, and in the latter year, to lay out two acres beyond the end of the east street to Ralph Freeman. He petitions to have his dividend and the re- mainder of his purchased land at the southerly end of the south plain, as it abuts upon that brook that runs into south meadow, or if not all there, then what he may with conven- ience.
In 1655 he was again elected surveyor. The next year the the general town meeting ordered the Selectmen to divide the common rights of feeding, and divisions of land to the present inhabitants, by the rule of persons and estates. Un- der these instructions, the Selectmen found 79 persons en- titled to shares, the richest man in town being Ensign Chick- ering, with a valuation of £309:16:0; the next was Rev. Mr. John Allen, £261; the 10th was Richard Evered, £185.
In 1659, he was on a committee of three, to act with a
57I
BIOGRAPHICAL AND GENEALOGICAL.
similar committee from Dorchester, to lay out the highway between Dedham and Dorchester, and he was also on a com- mittee of 8, to lay out the 2,000 acres granted by the town to the Indians at Natick.
The Selectmen, in June, 1660, granted him his land ad- joining Neponset plain, and northward thereof, or if that is already divided, at a place called "20 acre plain :" it was final- ly laid out at the latter place.
In 1660 there was an upheaval in town affairs, and so much dissatisfaction with the town officers, that at the annual town meeting, January 1, 1660-61, all were turned out, and a new set elected; among the new Selectmen was Richard Everett; and, furthermore, the town meeting voted that the Selectmen should not have the authority that their predecessors had had. This necessitated numerous town meetings, and at the end of the year a compromise was made, with half of these men re-elected and half of the old set being again chosen to office. In this re-arrangement, Richard Everett lost his po- sition as Selectman, but was appointed fence viewer, and as- signed to the low plain. He not only lost his office as Se- lectman, but he fell behind in his highway work three days, and was ordered to work it out between his house and that of Thomas Metcalf. Still more trouble comes to him, as on the 21st January, 1661-2, a committee is appointed to treat with him, and examine whether all of his ratable estate was given in for the countrey rate. As there is no record of any answer, it is to be presumed that he satisfied the committee.
This year the town clerk spells his name Everit for the first time on the Town Records.
In 1663 he was on a committee to lay out land for John Farrington, upon Neponset plain. In March the proprietors of Woolomonupake (Wrentham), drew their lots. He drew lot No. 8, containing II I-2 acres, 24 rods.
In 1664 he served on more land committees, and was again reported behind in his highway tax. There is recorded, this year, a list of all the dwellings, with values thereof. The most valuable is Timothy Dwight, rated at £40; next, Lieft
572
THE FIRST CENTURY OF SPRINGFIELD.
Josh Fisher, £25; then there are ten, ranging from £20 to £14, followed by 9, at £12, one of which is his. His oldest son, Capt. John's, is valued at £6, and his second son, Samuel, is credited with two, £6 and £4. This year his countrey rate is again questioned. He appears to have had some horses to board for a Mr. Bumstead, of Boston, and for which he paid no tax; on this account he is assessed 3s 8d more.
In 1665 he stands 15th, out of 89, on the tax list. At a meeting of the Selectmen, 26th of Ioth mo., James Mack- rorey requests that a grant of five acres of upland, the gift of his father in lawe, Richard Euered, be laid out to him, some- where neere his house, which was granted.
At a division of land at Meadfield he drew lot No. 70, which appears to have been in the present town of Norfolk.
In 1666 the Selectmen enter on their records a corrected list of legalized voters, 83 in number. Among them are Richard Everett, his two sons. John and Samuel, and son-in- law. Cornelius Fisher.
When the town had selected the 8,000 acres at Pawcomp- tuke (now Deerfield), granted them by the General Court, in lieu of land at Natick taken by the Indians, they employed Capt. Pynchon as their agent in purchasing the Indian titles. In 1667 the proprietors of this land were assessed to reim- burse him for his expenses. It was not then paid, and the assessment was revised in 1669.
He collected from the town, in 1667, 20s for killing two wolves.
In 1669 the town bought from Philip sagamore, all his rights in lands within the town bounds, not yet purchased, for £17:8:0, and the 80 town proprietors were assessed this amount. Everett's share was 6s 9 1-2d; two others paid the same, and eight others paid more, Ensign Fra. Chickering heading the list with HIS IOd, followed by Rev. John Allin, the village pastor, with Ss 9d. The rate was 8d per cow common according to the first grants.
This year appears the first county tax, which was one-half the countrey, or colony, tax.
573
BIOGRAPHICAL AND GENEALOGICAL.
On the school tax list of 1670 appears not only Richard Everett, but also his two sons, and two sons-in-law; and henceforth all five names appear on the various tax lists.
The years 1670-71 are years of numerous taxes, not only are the regular country, county, school. and town, but in January one for the minister's salary, followed in October by another to pay his funeral expenses, and the next January to pay the four months' salary due him before his decease.
Richard Everett's active work in town affairs now appears to cease, and the labor falls upon his sons. He pay his taxes as they are assessed, and stands about Ioth in wealth on a list that averages 100 names.
In 1673 and '74 a new meeting-house was built, and in as- signing the seats many individuals became dissatisfied. From the Town Records it appears that he asked to have his wife's seat changed, saying that the Widow Morse was will- ing to make a change. This request laid over one town meeting and was then granted.
The Selectmen, the Elder being present, agreed that Sergt. Avery, Sen., and Richard Euerid shall set in the Deacon's seat. The natural inference is that these two men had partly lost their sense of hearing.
January 1, 1678-9, the proprietors divide money in hand from land sold, among themselves, at the rate of Is per cow common, and Richard Everett received Ios 2d.
March 5, 1678-9, the Selectmen grant him "permission to cut timber from the Towne comon for 200 rayles and posts proportionable," and January 30, 1681-2, they again give him "liberty to take timber of the Town commons for boards to repair his house and barn, so much as is necessery."
The last tax assessed on him was April 27. 1681, and as he died the following year, it is fair to presume he was confined to the house, and perhaps to his bed most of the intervening time, it being a custom of the town to exempt the sick and absentees from town from taxation.
He died July 3, 1682.
Richard Evered made his will, 12 d. 3 mo. 1680, or May
