Histories Youngest of the 3 Richardson Brothers Thomas Richardson Youngest of the 3 Richardson Brothers The Three Richardsons of Woburn
External Links WikiTree: Thomas Richardson (1608-1651)
Thomas Richardson, was the youngest of the three brothers of that name, Ezekiel, Samuel, and Thomas who united in the settlement of Woburn, and the formation of a church there, in 1641. Thomas married Mary (maiden name unknown), possibly in England. Thomas (and likely Mary) and his brother Samuel most likely migrated to the United States five years after their older brother Ezekiel who came over in the fleet with Winthrop in 1630.According to the "A Chronological History of Woburn, Massachusetts" for the years 1640's; 1650's; and 1676; the Richardson brothers were active members of their community and played a role in the building of the town of Woburn, Massachusetts. Thomas and Mary had 7 children together. He died in 1651 and Mary remarried to Michael Bacon in 1655. She lived to 1670. We are descended from Thomas and Mary through the Wright (Tucker) line.
Albums Great Migration (119)
The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.
You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.
