| 6151 | Richard served in the Revolutionary War as a Private in Capt. Moses Merrill's Company in Col. Edmund Phinny's 31st Regiment. He served at Cambridge and Roxbury, Massachusetts for eight months. (source: findagrave.com) He may have been a son of Richard Phillips and Ruth Bonney. This needs more research to confirm. | Phillips, Richard Jr. (I28410)
|
| 6152 | Richard Smith was the first Englishman to settle in the South County area, probably around 1637. John "Quidnessett" Greene lived with him in the early days of the outpost, later testifying that there were no other English people within 20 miles of their place. Part of his land is the present location of "Smith's Castle" on Post Rd. in North Kingstown, althought the present homestead was built at a later time. Richard Smith (of "Smith's Castle" on Post Road, just north of Wickford village in North Kingstown), also owned land on Long Island under sovereignty of the Dutch West India Company. Smith established trading posts near the Pequot Path (Post Road) in Kingstowne, and also in New Amsterdam (New York). He frequently traveled back and forth between the two locations, and established strong personal and business relationships with individuals at New Amsterdam. Smith's trading post at Wickford was also the site where Roger Williams preached to the Narragansett Indians. A stone marker and plaque next to a picnic area on Post Road memorializes Williams's ministry among the Native Americans. St. Paul's Church in Wickford, RI, has a memorial tablet to Richard Smith. It mentions his daughter "Katharine" and her husband Gysbert op Dyck. The following is from "The Rhode Island Atlas" by Marion I. Wright and Robert J. Sullivan, Providence: RI Publications Society, 1982, p. 148: "Richard Smith (c. 1596 - 1666) came to Cocumscussoc from Taunton in 1637, and settling on land 'about a mile in length' purchased from the Indians, he built the first English-style house in the southern wilderness of the colony. He joined Roger Williams as a local trader and later bought out Williams and a trader named Wilcox. An energetic man, Smith maintained three homes: a house in Taunton; the house at Cocumscussoc, built with timbers carried across the Bay from Taunton; and a house on Long Island on land purchased from the Dutch. Smith bought Dutch trade goods. His daughter married a Dutchman named Updike whom she met during a family stay on Long Island; Smith's son Richard, Jr., died childless, and consequently the plantation passed through four generations of Updikes until 1812, when Wilkins Updike was forced to sell in order to honor the financial backing promised a brother. "Richard Smith, Sr., started one of the colony's first dairy herds, and for 300 years the dairy tradition continued on the estate. Joan Smith, his wife, used a recipe from her home in Cheshire, England, for making the famous Rhode Island cheeses of the Narragansett Country. "When Major Richard Smith, Jr., (c. 1630 - 1692) died, his estate included an inventory of 3 horses, 30 sheep, 20 hogs, and 135 cattle. No goats were listed on the inventory, but Smith had claimed payment for 100 goats slaughtered to feed the militia which gathered at Cocumscussoc and returned there after the Great Swamp Fight during King Philip's War. Smith granted freedom to three adult slaves in his will and directed that a slave couple's five children be freed after 30 years of service. "Lodowick Updike I lived on the plantation between 1692 and 1736. The name Wickford had been applied to the general area since 1664, but when Updike laid out the first house lots in the present-day village of Wickford, for a while the village was known as Updike's Newtown. His son Daniel (died 1757) was in charge of the plantation between 1736 and 1757. Trained as a lawyer, he served as attorney general from 1722 to 1728; the fine furniture and clocks which can be seen at Smith's Castle date from his period of prosperity. Daniel Updike maintained contacts with Newport, and he was the first signer of the "Laws and Orders" of the cultural society which was the parent organization of the Redwood Library there." | Smith, Richard (I07753)
|
| 6153 | Richard Smith's will mentions his (second) wife Ruth, son Richard, and daughters Lucretia Gladding & Rebecca Munro; grandsons John Gladding, Jr., & Josiah Munro; and other grandchildren and great-grandchildren. | Smith, Esquire Richard (I02605)
|
| 6154 | Richard was a noted housewright and architect in Newport. Boston records refer to a Richard Munday in Boston, winecooper, who had a wife named Martha in 1728. The dates for his five children are baptismal dates from St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Bristol, RI. I don't know if they were actually born in Bristol or in Newport. A Plymouth, MA, court record of 1736 mentions Richard Munday "Bristoll yeoman or Houswright" in a court case involving a cow that was not returned by him to the plaintif, Otiss Little, gentleman of Pembrooke. The will of Richard Munday of Newport, housewright, dated 1738, mentions his wife Elizabeth and 5 children: William, Nathaniel, Richard, Mary, and Rebecca. No grandchildren are mentioned (it appears that he died when his children were very young). | Munday, Richard (I28592)
|
| 6155 | Richard was a twin to Bridget, who also died young. | Remington, Richard (I15887)
|
| 6156 | Richard was an early settler in Portsmouth, RI (freeman 1653), and Dartmouth, MA (freeman 1655). | Sisson, Richard (I26748)
|
| 6157 | Richard was appointed executor of his father's will in 1608. | GREENE, Richard Jr. (I01919)
|
| 6158 | Richard was probably named after his great uncle, Richard Thornton, husband of Abby Rhodes. In the 1850 US Census at Cranston, RI, Richard T. Remington is age 27, a jeweller; with him are Sophia Remington, age 26; and their children Isabella 4, John R. 2, and Nicholas J. 1 month. Also in the household are Sally Greene, age 85; Nicholas Johnson, 42, a mariner, and his wife Sally R. Johnson, age 30; David Snow, age 30, a shoemaker; and Sarah M. Olden, age 10. (See notes for Sally's brother Richard T. Remington.) In 1860 the family is at Providence Ward 4: Richard T. Remington 37, Sophia 36, Isabella 14, John R. 13, Nicholas J. 10, Sarah J. 8, and Richard W. 2. At Scituate Town Hall, in the book "1810-1882 Births, Deaths, & Marriages, Etc." there is an entry for the marriage between Mr. Richard T. Remington and Mrs. Lucinda M. Haynes, 12 Jan 1868, by W. H. Bowen, Clergyman." This is Richard's second marriage; he was about 45 at the time. Lucinda was probably a widow, and Haynes/Haines was her married name. In 1870, Richard & Lucinda are living at Scituate, RI. They are ages 48 & 37. Sons John R., 22, & Nicholas J., 20, are with them. Also in the household are Anna, 16, & Celia L., 14, both surname Haines -- probably Lucinda's daughters. Richard T. Remington was in the Civil War, a Private in the RI 1st Light Artillery. | Remington, Richard Thornton (I02414)
|
| 6159 | Richard was s/o Judge Daniel Sanger and Persis Phipps (The History of the Descendants of Elder John Strong, of Northampton, Mass.; by Benjamin Woodbridge Dwight; Albany, NY: Joel Munsell, 1871; p. 1350). | Sanger, Richard (I21647)

|
| 6166 | RIGR Vol 12 pp 247 & 248 has her maiden name as Jones. At least one online family tree has her name as Penelope Jones (no source noted). However, I believe she was Penelope Fones, since Daniel Fones Essex is mentioned as a nephew, s/o Benejah Essex, in the will of Daniel Fones who died c1817. Therefore, I have entered her maiden name as Fones. Also, see this entry from the RI Cemetery Database: ESSEX PENELOPE ([FONES]) 1765c - 18 JAN 1827 WK054 | Fones, Penelope (I15120)

| 6170 | Robert & Henry seem to have been born about the same time, from the census data in 1850 and 1860. Or, a mistake was made in giving the information to the census taker. Henry may have been a child who died young. | Randall, Robert B. (I13302)

|
| 6178 | Robert was a farmer and miller who spent most of his life in Portsmouth. He signed a will on 10 Mar 1721. This will was proved on 13 August 1722. The will names his wife as Johanna, so I assume that she was his second wife. It also says that Job, Jonathan, and Caleb were all under 21 years of age at that time. I have estimated the dates of the children's births. Also, I am unsure of Anne Cory's dates, and of the year of Robert's assumed second marriage. | BENNETT, Robert (I01021)
