| Notes |
- Richard Everett was in New England as early as 1636, coming from England. It is surmised that he was born in County Essex. In the book Decendants of John Dwight, of Dedham, Mass. is stated in a footnote that Richard Everett and wife, Mary, came in the same ship with the original John Dwight, but no authority is given. Tradition states that Richard first settled at Watertown, Mass., but there is no record. Under the date of 6/29/1643 in the Town Records is entered the marriage of Richard Everett and Mary Winch. She came, aged 15, in the "Francis" of Ipswich on April 1638 with the family of Rowland Stebbins. After this marriage, Richard made Dedham is home. The name was spelled various ways -- Evered, Euered, Eurard. He made his will 5/12/1680 and it was proved 7/25/1682 (Suffolk Wills 1233). (Source: The William A. Amsberry and Related Families.)
