RICHARDS This is one of the numerous promi- nent names of Welsh origin, which are found largely represented in the United States, and has been identified with progress along all lines of human endeavor from a very early period in the settlement of the American colonies. It is one of those names which originated in the Welsh system of making the possessive form of the father's name a surname and is equivalent to Rich- ard's son. The name as a christian name is very ancient and is found among the early annals of the present English nation, and so developed into a sur- name along with others in very common usage. Books of heraldry give no less than seventeen dis- tinct coats-of-arms connected with the name Richards, enough of which point back to Wales to justify the general belief that here was the original hive, from which issued the founders of illustrious families of that name in different countries of England. At Caernywick, Marioneth county, Wales, is a manor inherited by Sir Richard Richards, president of the house of lords and lord chief baron of the court of exchequer, and in the annals his ancestors, about 1550, are spoken of as the ancient possessors. They claim the privilege of bearing the identical arms of Richard of East Bagborough, in the county of Somer- set. This was depicted on the tablet of Hon. James Richards, of Hartford, who died in 1680, and may be seen in an ancient manuscript in the New England Historic-Genealogical Societies' Library halved with the arms of Governor Winthrop. whose daughter married a Richards in 1692. There are at present many clergymen of the name in England and Wales, and it has long been illustrious in Europe.

(1) Edward Richards, born about 1610, 1615. American ancestor of an extensive family, was a native of Plymouth. England, and came to New Eng- land in the ship "Lion" in 1635. He resided one year in Cambridge, and then with his brother Na- thaniel became one of the proprietors of Dedham, Massachusetts, whither they removed. He united with the church there in 1640, was a freeman in 1641, was elected selectman in 1646 and again in 1653, and died there June 25. 1684. He was married Septem- ber 10, 1638, to Susan IHunting. daughter of Elder John Hunting, of Watertown and Dedham. His children were: Mary, John, Dorcas, Nathaniel and

Sary. (Mention of Nathaniel and descendants is a part of this article).

(II) John, eldest son and second child of Ed- ward and Susan ( Hunting) Richards, was born May I, (baptized June 12), 1641, in Dedham, Massachu- setts, in which town he lived and where he died De- cember 21, 1688. He was received in the church at Dedham in 1667, and subscribed to the freeman's oath in 1670. He was married August 1, 1672, to Mary Colburn, who was born November 21, 1650, and died December 17. 1685. She was a daughter of Nathaniel and Priscilla (Clark) Colburn.

His children were: John, Joseph, Timothy and Samuel.

(IV) John (3), son of John (2) and Judith (Fairbanks) Richards, was born June 12. 1698, and died October 25, 1772, in Dedham. He was married June 5, 1772, to Abigail Avery, who was born May 8, 1699, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth (Lane) Avery. . They resided in Dedham. Their children were: John, Edward. Nathan, Job, Abiathar, Abel and Nabby.

(V) Abiathar, fifth son and child of John (3) and Abigail (Avery) Richards, was born 1730, in Dedham, and was an active and respected citizen of that town, where he died September 30, 1803. He served three enlistments in the Revolutionary war. He was married in Dedham, May 31, 1753. to Eliza- beth Richards, who was born November 9, (baptized November 16) 1730, in that town, daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Metcalf) Richards (men- tioned in this article). They united with the church in Dedham, February 24, 1754. Mrs. Richards died August 3, 1814. and their headstones are found in the First Parish cemetery. Their children were: Abiathar, Elizabeth, Hannah, Nabby, Lucy, Silvanus, Jesse, Luther and Eliphalet.

( VI) Silvanus, second son and sixth child of Abiathar and Elizabeth ( Richards) Richards, was born Octoher 16, 1765, in Dedham, and was baptized on the twenty-fourth of the following month in that town. He removed to Newport about the close of the eighteenth century, and settled in the western part of that town, where he kept a tavern and was at one time one of the largest landholders and tax- payers in the town.

February 20, 1792, in Sudbury, Massachusetts, and spent the early part of his life in farming and hotel keeping in the western part of Newport, New Hamp- shire. He subsequently kept the Rising Sun Hotel in Newport Village, and later turned his attention to mercantile operations and began as a clerk in the store of Erastus Baldwin. In time he became owner of the store. which he conducted for many years, being assisted in the latter part of his career by his sons. This establishment he sold in order to give his entire attention to the manufacture of woolen goods at the Sugar River Mills in Newport, in association with his son Dexter, and this enter- prise proved a great success. He was very active in the affairs of the town and served four years as selectman, was representative in 1833, and filled many other town offices and was also postmaster. He was a Democrat of the Jeffersonian school. He was a keen business man, governed by the strictest rules of integrity, and was one of the most obliging citizens in the town. He served as officer of the militia and was ever ready with his time and means to promote any movement calculated to improve the progress of his town. He died October 30, 1871, and his departure was widely mourned. He was married April 8. 1817, to Fanny Richards, who was born in Dedham, September 1, 1791, and died August II, 1854, in Newport. She was a daughter and the sec- ond child of Abiathar (2) and Elizabeth (Smith) Richards, and granddaughter of Abiathar (1) and Elizabeth (Richards) Richards, the cousin of her husband. Their children were: Dexter, Emily, Elizabeth. Fanny, Abiathar, Helen, Ann and Cath- erine. Of these the youngest alone survives, widow of Ira Mitchell, of Claremont. She is now a resi- dent of Newport.

(VIII) Dexter, eldest child of Captain Seth and Fanny (Richards) Richards, was born September 5, 1818, in Newport, and was educated in the public schools of that town and at Ludlow, Vermont. Early in life he became a clerk in his father's store and was later associated with him and with his brother, Abiathar. in mercantile business under the firm name of Seth Richards & Sons. In 1853 he was as- sociated with his father in the ownership of the Sugar River Mills, in which Perley S. Coffin was also a partner. In 1867 he purchased the interest of Mr. Coffin and became sole owner. Five years later his son, Colonel Seth M. Richards, became a partner and since then the mills have been operated by Dex- ter Richards & Sons, a younger son having become interested later. After Mr. Richards became inter- ested in the operation of these mills they soon be- came the most important industry of the community. In 1875 he became president of the First National Bank at Newport, and was also for many years trustee of the Newport Savings Bank. In 1866, while a member of the legislature, he was largely instrumental in procuring a charter of the Sugar River Railroad, which is now known as the Concord & Claremont branch of the Boston & Maine Railroad. At that time there was no railroad west of Bradford, and Mr. Richards was a heavy contributor to the en- terprise to extend it to Claremont Junction, thus

giving the Sugar River Valley railroad facilities which have done so much toward its development. He did a great deal of building in the village of Newport, being the owner of several of its best business blocks and erecting a fine mansion in that town. The mills under his management were sev- eral times enlarged and their capacity thereby in- creased. Mr. Richards was actively identified with the Congregational Church of Newport, and for over thirty years was one of its deacons. From a very early age he was called upon to perform various public offices and was sometime town clerk and later selectman. He was elected to the general court in 1865-66, in 1870 and 1895. He filled an active place in the councils of the Republican party and was dele- gate to the national convention in 1871, and in 1872 was a member of the executive council of the state. He was twice a delegate to conventions for revising the state constitution and served as state senator in 1887. He was a trustee of various institutions. among which may be mentioned Kimball Union . Academy, the Orphans' Home and the New Hamp- shire Asylum for the Insane, of which last named institution he served on the board of trustees for twenty-eight years and was its president at the time of his decease.

Mr. Richards was a large public benefactor. One of his monuments is found in the beautiful Richards Hall, one of the buildings of Kimball Union Acad- emy at Meriden. He also endowed a scholarship at Dartmouth, and was one of the founders and lead- ing benefactors of the Orphans' Home. at Franklin, being in fact the orginator of this beneficent institu- tion. Another of his gifts to the public is the Rich- ards Free Library in the town of Newport, which consists of a fine brick building with a museum and a collection of three thousand volumes, which were created at a cost of fifty-five thousand dollars. The high school of Newport was made possible by his gift of twenty-five thousand dollars, and the town may justly point with pride to its fine, modern and commodious brick edifice. His contributions to the Congregational Church for various improvements aggregate many thousands of dollars, and his out of town donations raised the total of his public gifts above one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. The private gifts made by Mr. Richards at various times were known only to himself and their bene- ficiaries and their number was great and their ag- gregate munificent. He passed away at his home in Newport, August 7, 1897, and his funeral at the Con- gregational Church was one of the largest ever held in Newport. Even the galleries of the church were crowded with people who came to pay their tribute of respect to the memory of one whom they had es- teemed. All places of business in the village were closed for the afternoon and many people from out of town attended these obsequies. His body rests in the family lot in Maple Street cemetery, where a suitable monument has been erected.

Mr. Richards was married January 27. 1847. to Louisa Frances Hatch, who was born April 10, 1827. in Hillsboro, New Hampshire, daughter of Dr. Mason and Apphia (Andrews) Hatch. Dr. Hatch

became a resident of Newport, and was for many years one of the best known physicians of that town. Mr. and Mrs. Richards were the parents of six chil- dren, only three of whom are now living: Colonel Seth M. Richards. further mentioned below: Jose- phine C., wife of Professor M. C. Gile : and William F. Richards. also mentioned at length below.

Mrs. Louisa Frances (Hatch) Richards was a lady of exceptional endowments and was very active in benevolent and philanthropic work. She was a trustee of the Mercy Home at Manchester, and of the Women's Hospital Aid Society, of Concord, and a writer has justly said of her: "In church and society Mrs. Richards is an acknowledged power and her delightful hospitality is a thing to be long re- membered by those who have enjoyed it." She was a munificent benefactor of the Orphans' Home at Franklin, and of other institutions mentioned above, in which she was a trustee as well as the Congrega- tional Church of her home town. She was a mem- ber of the Reprisal Chapter, Daughters of the Amer- ican Revolution, of Newport. On the occasion of their golden wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Richards en- tertained at a reception a large number of their townspeople and near and remote relatives, and the occasion was one of those pleasurable events which never fade from the memory of those who have participated in them. Mrs. Richards passed away January II. 1901, and her funeral was largely at- tended by the most distinguished citizens of the state and especially by her fellow trustees in the many benevolent institutions in which she was interested. The members of the Reprisal Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, attended in a body, and her memory received an honor, which had never be- fore been awarded to any woman of Newport, namely, closing all places of business. The floral offerings on this occasion were very profuse and gratifying to the mourning friends. Among the most highly appreciated was a cross of ivy with a wreath of white roses from the pupils and teachers of the Richards school. The services were conducted jointly by the pastor of the church and two former pastors, who came to pay their tribute of regard and respect to the memory of one of their most loved parishioners.

(IX) Seth Mason, eldest son and second child of Dexter and Louisa Frances (Hatch) Richards, was born June 6. 1850, in Newport. He completed his education at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, and Phillips Academy, Andover, and after leaving school was engaged for a time as a mercantile clerk in Boston. Returning to his native town, he was admitted as a partner with his father, in 1872, in the operation of the Sugar River Mills, and has since devoted most of his time to the interests of that es- tablishment. Upon the death of his father he suc- ceeded to the management of the property and under his capable, energetic and enterprising management the interest has developed to very large proportions. occupies a newly built (1905) brick structure with increased facilities for a business of thirty-three and one-third per cent. greater than heretofore, having a total of one hundred and fifty operatives. He has

been president of the First National Bank of New- port. His philanthropies, like those of his father, are widespread and numerous. Mr. Richards has been prominent and active in public affairs, and was a member of the house of representatives in 1885. Two years later he was appointed colonel on the staff of Governor Charles H. Sawyer, and he was elected to the state senate in 1896 and served in the session of 1897. In 1900 he was a presidential elector and cast his ballot for the lamented president, Will- iam McKinley, which indicates his political affilia- tions. Colonel Richards was of Council of Governor Bachelder in 1903, representing the Fourth Coun- cillor's district. He served as chairman of the prison committee. On the occasion of President Roosevelt's tour through New England, in 1903. he was chairman of the reception committee which wel- comed him to Newport. Following are the words employed by him on this occasion: "Fellow citizens and ladies, if it were not for our beautiful Lake Sunapee and Secretary of the State, Colonel John Hay, a cottager there; if it were not for the grand old Croydon mountain beyond and the masterful mind of the late Austin Corbin, we would not have had the privilege and and pleasure of seeing and hearing the chief magistrate of the nation today. We are a small community. Mr. President, but I can assure you that we shall not yield in patriotism, loyalty and love of country to cities and towns of larger size. Senator Chandler has always been our friend. His last act of kindness was to persuade Secretary Cortelyou to change his arrangements and thus enable us to hear a few words from the presi- dent. We know your time is valuable, Mr. Presi- dent. and presume you are anxious to get inside the park, shoulder a rifle and set forth to shoot an elk or wild boar. We wish you success. Ladies and gen- tlemen, I have the high honor of introducing to you the President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt." Many distinguished people have been entertained at Mr. Richards' handsome mansion on North Main street, Newport. He was married Oc- tober 9, 1878. to Lizzie Farnsworth, of Boston, daughter of Oliver Thomas and Caroline A. Hunt, of Newport and Boston. and granddaughter of Dea- con Joseph Farnsworth, who was an early resident of Newport. Mrs. Richards was born October 23, 1855, in Newport.
