JBR # +10 — The following is from "The Richmond Family" by Joshua Bailey Richmond


"10. (LIEUT.) JOSEPH Richmond 3 (John 2, John 1) was born in Taunton, December 8, 1663.  He married, June 26, 1685, Mary Andrews daughter of Henry and Mary Andrews of Taunton.  Date of death unknown."
Children (born in Middleboro):  as enumerated

"These are probably not arranged in the order of births, and it is not probable that the actual order will ever be known."

"Edgar H. Reed has the following memorandum in his "Reed Genealogy"  "The will of Mary Richmond, the mother of the wife of William Reed, make mention of children as follows: son, Joseph Richmond; daughter, Margaret Richmond; daughter, Mary Reed; daughter Abigail Gooding; son, John Richmond; son, Christopher Richmond; son, Henry Richmond; son Josiah Richmond; and two daughters of son William Richmond.  Dated February 14, 1737."

"This will is not on record in either Plymouth or Bristol counties; for some reason it was not probated, but was preserved and finally came into the possession of some one who permitted Deacon Reed to copy the foregoing paragraph.  He and his wife acknowledged the receipt of her interest in her father's (Henry Andrews) estate, March 28, 1707.  They sold land to Henry Andrews, July 19, 1701."

"Joseph and his son Christopher were in the Canada expedition of 1711. Joseph and Mary his wife sold their homestead on the road from Taunton to Middleboro, containing forty acres, to their two sons Joseph and Henry; he acknowledged the deed, July 13, 1724, and she, March 11, 1 726:  "Lieut. Joseph Richmond of Taunton, to my son John of Middleboro, that 100 acre lot which formerly belonged to John Rogers, whereon my said son John now dwells except about 30 acres which I have given to my son Christopher.  28 July, 1724"
