| Notes |
- Samuel was one of the three noted Richardson brothers who were among the earliest settlers of Woburn, MA. He was second in age of the three, Ezekiel being the eldest, and Thomas, the youngest. He was the last of the three to come to New England. He was executor of his father's will, in England, dated 4 Mar 1630, and inherited his mother's part of his father's estate. He was married before he left West Mill, and two of his children were baptized there--Samuel (1633) and Elizabeth (1635). It was after 1635 that he and Thomas, his brother, sailed for New England. In 1636 he located in Charlestown, but moved to Woburn a few years later. He was a selectman of Woburn, 1644-46 and 1649-1651. His name appears on the first Woburn tax list of 1645. He was one of the signers of Woburn town orders of 1640. He relaesed some land, with his brothers, to the inhabitants of Woburn in 1644, and helped form the first church of Woburn in 1642. His estate was located on the "Richardson Row Road" of early times and an estate known as the Job Miller estate, on present Washington St., in the limits of Winchester is the same property. Job Miller, married to his great-grandson's neice, lived in the house in 1798. The farm contained 50 acres. The family of Samuel's son, Samuel, was attacked by Indians on this farm on 10 Apr 1676, during Philip's war. Samuel's 10 year old son, Thomas, (one of twin sons), his 2nd wife, Hannah, and their infant daughter, Hannah, were all killed. The estate of the first Samuel extended from the present tracks of the Boston & Main RR to the Stoneham and Winchester town line. (From a History of Middlesex Co.
