[357] RICHARD HILDRETH
[358]
Somewhere around 1635, the exact date is not known, Richard and Thomas Hildreth, presumed to have been brothers, emigrated to the Massacusetts Bay Colony from England. A few years later a group of families left Lynn and sailed to Long Island. In 1640
they founded the town of Southampton. Thomas Hildreth is listed among the early settlers of Southampton where he remained and became the progenitor of that branch of the Hildreths.
[359] Richard Hildreth had come to New England with his wife Sarah and perhaps their two children, Jane and James.
[360] Richard was admitted "freeman" to Massachusetts Bay Colony 10 May 1643 at the age of 35. They resided in Cambridge where Sarah Hildreth died in 1644. About a year later Richard married 2nd Elizabeth (___) and their first child was born 21 Sept 1646.
[361]
On May 10, 1653 Richard Hildreth was among 29 persons who petitioned the General Court for a colony on the Merrimack and Concord Rivers which was incorporated in 1655 as the town of Chelmsford. At about this time Richard Hildreth moved to Chelmsford
and settled west of Robins Hill in the vicinity of Heart Pond. His children and grandchildren occupied some lands that became the town of Westford when it was set off from Chelmsford in 1729.
[362] Richard Hildreth died in 1688 at age 83.
