3. RICHA RD, born Oct. 15, 1704, is described in deeds as a
husbandman and cordwainer. He married Judith, the daughter of Joseph
Poor, previous to 1729.
In 1737 an d In 1744 he bought land of his brother John, and in 1746 he
bought his sister Ann's share of their late father's estate.--By the
Rowley records Richard had :--Ebenezer, Jan. 3, 1729; Joseph, Aug. 5,
1731. Mr. Haskins found a deed by R ichard Stewart, of Leominster, in
1775, conveying to Richard Foster, of Boxfor d, land in Boxford coming
to said Richard's wife, Mary, from the estate of her father, Samuel
Flak, of Boxford. An Ebenezer Stewart witnessed the deed. Mr. Haskins
thought this was Ebenezer's Richard, and that he was twice married,
b ut there seems to be no such marriage record in either Boxford or
Rowley, nor any death record of his first wife. I think the Richard,
of Leominster may hav e been his son, born later than Joseph. (See
Appendix C, page 117.)
