• Notes

  "Cape Cod History and Genealogy", (Yarmouth Massachusetts: p. 15), by C.W. Swift. Richard had a propensity to steal other peoples possessions in the Plymouth Colony and later in Eastham. His wife's hanging gave Richard some notoriety, but he remained in Plymouth and on March 6, 1649 was presented at court for stealing a neighbors spade. He was judged guilty and sentenced to both sit in the stocks and replace the spade prior to the June court or be whipped. He did not comply. He was in Eastham by 1654 and had tracts of land allowed him. In 1670 he entered George Crisps property and helped himself to the fleece taken from the sheep. He was arraigned and ordered to pay thirty shillings, which he did. Soon after this affair, he left the township with his family and removed to Piscataway, NJ. and lived with his son-in-law, William Sutton. -Winsor's "Duxbury", p. 228; and Monnette, "First Settlers of Piscataway and Woodbridge", p. 792.
