“Richard patented 3,000 acres on the James River in Henrico Co., VA on 06 Mar 1636 due him for 60 immigrants to the Colony. His estate adjoined lands of John Price on the east and Thomas Harris to the west. He was several times a member of the House Of Burgesses (1644 and 1654) and Lieutenant-Colonel of the County (or County Commandant) of Henrico. He resigned the House of Burgesses in 1655 to accept the office of Sheriff. It is significant that all of his land grants, totaling about 10,000 acres in Henrico were for transporting to Virginia some 220 persons total.
He lived at "Bremo", granted to him in 1636. This portion of his plantation was on the river and that part on the ridge and on the head of Turkey Island Creek he called "Malvern Hills", which he patented three years later. These estates are situated on the James River some twelve or fifteen miles east of Richmond
