  • Notes 
    • 1674 Richard and wife were members of the Newbury church. He had the "freehold right" #63 in the Upper Common in Newbury. (Freeholder - one who either by grant, purchase, or inheritance was entitled to a share in all the common and individual lands.)
      1650/06/02 effort was made to relieve him as overseer of an estate because he was "sickly and unable to look after their interests."
