statement:
'He hath left a wife, three sons, and four daughters. The eldest son is 8 years old; the second, 6 years; and the third, three-quarters [of a year]. The eldest daughter is 13 years old; the second, 11 years; the third, 4 years; the fourth, 2 years.'
Samuel and Thomas were on a committee to lay out lots (of land) for hayfields 1 July 1636. In 1635 and 1636 Edward Converse and 2 other men sent to explore what became Woburn, Massachusetts. Grants of land made to Ezekiel and Thomas Richardson.
The three brothers, Ezekiel, Samuel and Thomas Richardson, are known as such by the will of Ezekiel, who names the other two as his brothers. Ezekiel, evidently the oldest, was the first to come to New England, and was a planter in Cbarlestown in 1630. His departure previous to the making of the will, perhaps against his father s wishes, or possibly having received his share of his father s small estate, may account for the name of Ezekiel not appearing in the will. His baptism is not found at West Mill. as are the baptisms of Samuel and Thomas.
Ezekiel probably came with Winthrop, he and his wife becoming members of the Charlestown church, 27 Aug., 1630.
Thomas Richardson, baptized at West mill, 3 July, 1608, had wife Mary, who joined the Charlestown church, 21 Feb., 1635/6, and he joined, 18 Feb., 1637/8.
Admitted to the First Church in Charlestown in 1637/8 with his brother Samuel.

There seems to be a slight confusion regarding the Richardson Family ancestors. Some have them coming from another part of ENGLAND. The information I have seems to be the most reliable.
The earliest record in New England concerning THOMAS RICHARDSON is the admission of his wife Mary into the church at Charlestown February 21, 1635/6. He was admitted February 18, 1637/8 and was a freeman the 2nd of May 1638. Two children, Mary and Sarah, were baptized in 1638 and 1640. Thomas with his two brothers signed the Town Orders for the Woburn grant December 18, 1640 and all three settled in Woburn. The historian of the town writes that in December 1647 a committee was appointed to lay out a highway from "the three Richisons to the Towne meeting-hows one way, and Mr. Thomas Graves the other way," and that this was doubtless the commencement of the road known from time immemorial as Richardson's Row. Thomas died, intestate, August 28, 1651, aged about forty-three. Estate settlement papers show that "he hath left a wife three sons & fower daughters." His widow married, as second wife, October 26, 1655, Michael Bacon of Woburn. She died May 19, 1670.
