Notes:

Name:
Richard Everett came to New England as early as 1636, although no definite information has yet been obtained as to the time of his arrival, or from what part of England he came. From the facts that he was for several years in the employ of William Pynchon, that Pynchon himself was connected by marriage with the Everard family of County Essex, England, and that Richard was a very common baptismal name in the same Everard family, it is surmised that Richard Everett was born in County Essex.

In the book "Descendants of John Dwight, of Dedham, Mass.," it is stated, in a foot note, "that Richard Everett and wife, Mary, came in the same ship with the original John Dwight," but no authority is given. The same book says that John Dwight came in 1634/5 from Dedham, England.

Tradition says that Richard Everett first settled in Watertown, Mass., but no record has been found showing that this to be a fact; neither is there any record of his marriage to his first wife, Mary, or of the birth of his first two children, John and Israel.
