Notes - Richard was born about 1635 according to Montgomery. He came with his parents to Maryland around 1652-3. He was the oldest son and heir, but seemed rather quiet compared to his more aggressive brothers in court records. Richard is med in his father's will. He went to England after his father died and returned to Maryland on July 20, 1669 while importing sixteen persons. He filed claim for their headrights on that date. He deeded a gift of land, 300 acres of Planters Delight, to his brother George in 1670. He and his wife were childless when he died in his thirties. He left his lands to his brother George as he appeared to have the only male heir at that time. (C-637)
