Notes:

Name:
Edward Richardson was born in England in 1617, which appears from the fact that he took the oath of allegiance to the colony of Massachusetts Bay in 1678, at the age of sixty-one; came to American, and settled in "Old Newbury," probably soon after 1640. he was married, but his wife's name does not appear.

He was a member of the church in Newbury, of which rev. Thomas Parker was pastor, and rev. James Noyes the teacher. Not long after 1650 difficulties arose in the church on the subject of discipline, and the church was divided into two parties, one party maintaining that all church power resides in the church itself, the other party, and especially the ministers, claiming that the ministers must take the initiative in all cases, and nothing be done but in accordance with their wishes. Indeed, both ministers were understood to be Presbyterian in sentiment. For five or six tears after 1665 the church was in a very excited and unhappy state, divided into two parties, nearly equal in numbers, and each claiming to be THE church. Mr. Richardson was of the party opposed to Mr. Parker, the pastor. A full history of the matter is contained in Coffin's History of Newbury.

Edward Richardson and several other inhabitants of Newbury, with some of Dover, presented a petition to the General Court of Massachusetts in May, 1659, for a grant of land twelve miles square, at Penacook (Concord). the petition was granted, but the conditions as to settlement, etc., not being fulfilled, the grant was forfeited. Most of New Hampshire was then under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts. (Bouton's Hist. of Concord, p. 52)

Neither Edward Richardson nor any other Richardson is on the list of proprietors of lands in Newbury, compiled December, 1642; ninety-one in all, but twenty-two were afterwards added. (Coffin's Newbury, p. 292).

Edward Richardson died Nov. 14, 1685, aged 68.

Notes:

A descendant of the emigrant Daniel Ladd writes:
"Horace Walpole, when speaking of the times of Charles the 2nd, said, 'that there were no Englishmen then left in England for that all men worthy the name had gone to American; and though this is the language of hyperbole, there was enough of truth in it to give it point; and Lord Brougham said that New England was founded by men of whom Old England was not worthy It has been wisely as well as beautifully said that 'God sifted a whole nation that He might send choice grain over into this wilderness Of this grain was 'that Daniel Ladd from whom we are descended. He came here in the prime of his youth, and for sixty years thereafter labored, trusting God and fearing nothing,---neither labor, nor cold, nor privation, nor savage enemies, so that he might help to build up, on these rough shores, a better England than he had left behind. And wisely his work, and the work of those who were like him, do follow them. "That Daniel Ladd was accounted a man of good social position, when that was a matter of no small consequence, though all were practically nearly on the same level in point of fortune, we have every reason to believe. He held at one time the rank of "Lieutenant,' and his son Nataniel, who came to Exeter, married there the daughter of Hon. John Gilman, one of the Council for the Government of Province, Speaker of the House of Assembly in 1697, and the leading man, both for wealth and influence, in the Province out of Portsmouth, and the founder of a family which, down to this day, has been one of the most distinguished in the Province and State. Other marriages, in this and the next generation, bear witness to the respectability and social consideration of the Ladd family."
By: Rev. Mr. Stoughton, in his Election Sermon, Memorial History of Boston, Vol., 1, pg 148.
Daniel, the emigrant settler, came with wife Ann from Wiltshire, England,; according to one authority in the ship "Mary and John," of London, March 24, 1633-1634, Robert Sayres, master. His name appears next in Ipswich records in 1637, when he was granted 6 acres of land by the town, upon which he built a dwelling house, which 7 years later, in 1644, he sold to Henry Kingsbury of Ipswich, who afterwards removed to Rowley, an adjoining town, and then to Haverhill. In 1639 Daniel had removed to Salisbury, Mass., on the North side of the Merrimac River. At this time Salisbury, which at first was called Colchester, was one of the towns of the ancient county of Norfolk, which also included Hampton and Exeter, all towns on the north side of the Merrimac River. Haverhill at this time (1639) was not organized. Ladd took a party with 50 other men in the affairs of Salisbury, By the record of the birth of 3 of his children, it appears that he was residing in Salisbury in 1644, and by the record of his fourth child; he was in Haverhill in 1646, and here he continued to reside until his death.

Name:
Daniel Ladd took the Oath of Supremacy and Allegiance to pass to New England in the Mary and John of London, Robert Sayres, master, 24th of March, 1633/4.

Daniel married Ann ? in 1639/40 in Salisbury, Essex Co., Massachusetts. Ann died on 10 Feb 1694 in Haverhill, Essex Co., Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
