Richmond, Edward Capt. (b. BET 1631 AND 1632, d. NOV 1696)

Note: RICHMOND (II) Captain Edward Richmond, son of John Richmond (q. v.), was born about 1632, and probably came to this country before his father. He had a share in Westerly, Rhode Island, 1661. He was general solicitor in 1667-69-70-72; in 1676 he and his men captured seven Indians in King Philip's war; he was clerk of a court-martial that condemned to death some Indians; he was one of the grantees of East Greenwich in 1677; attorney general in 1677-78-79-80; deputy, 1678-79; selectman, 1683-85-89-90; captain in 1690. He was a member of the Church of England. His gravestone is to be seen on the old Richmond farm at Little Compton, Rhode Island, inscribed: "Here lyeth the body of Edward Richmond, captain, who departed this life in ye 63d year of his age, Nov. 1696." He was one of the incorporators of the town of Little Compton.

He married first, Abigail Davis, daughter of James Davis. He married second, Amy Bull, daughter of Governor Henry and Elizabeth Bull.

"Edward is a lawyer, 24 years old and in love with Abigail. He first sues everybody for trespassing on his property. That doesn't work. He next tries Breach of Contract and that works. They dissolve Abigail's marriage to Ussell, but can't agree on any financial payment to go with it. A year later, Edward, Abigail and their baby [Abigail] are back in court accused of fornication. The baby makes it a bit obvious. They plead guilty, pay a fine rather than have any public humiliation. Then Edward suggests that they'll avoid a lot of temptation in the future if the court will let them marry. So the court does! Later, Edward is General Solicitor of the Newport Courts. He brings in his mother-in-law, now the Widow Ussell, on fornication charges. She's found guilty and sentenced to be stripped to the waist and bound to the "great gunn" for a quarter hour. He tries again a year later with another man but she gets off. Later, he goes after John Remington for fornication with Edward's daughter, referred to as Abigail Richmond (alias Remington). John wins." Based on reading those court records, I think fornicating was ALL they were doing in Newport back then."

The town of Little Compton, Rhode Island was founded by a band of explorers from Plymouth Colony seeking to expand their settlement along the Massachusetts coastline. The land they chose, some twenty square miles situated on a peninsula sixty miles southwest of present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts, was originally named Sakonnet (after the local Sogkonnite tribe of Indians).

In 1682, Sakonnet was incorporated by Plymouth Colony and renamed Little Compton. In January 1746/47, Little Compton became an incorporated town of the state of Rhode Island, pursuant to a royal decree, and shortly thereafter was annexed to Newport County.

Davis, Abigail (b. 31 OCT 1635, d. BEF JUL 1682)

Note: "Austin gives the following: '1657, May 20. The petition of Abigail Davis, daughter-in-law (i.e. stepdaughter) of John Cowdall, having been read by a committee of the Assembly, it was shown that her marriage with Richard Ussell, was for fear of being forced to it by her father and mother, and later in the same year the said marriage was declared an unlawful one by the Assembly. She was thus enabled to marry Edward Richmond, whom she had declared in her petition to be her choice.' A check of Savage showed no listing for Ussell, but under Cowdall he said that John married Mary Davis in 1655 and that she was the widow of William Davis, of Boston. But Savage also says that Abigail died at the age of four. Richmond says it was James Davis who must be Abigail's father since his name is among those forming 'the body politick' of Portsmouth April 30, 1639, and in the list of the inhabitants of Acqednic Island dated Sep. 1, 1640. Apparently there were no other Davises in the area except Nicholas, who lived till 1671."

The Richmond genealogy stated that Abigail was the daughter of James Davis, but her father was actually William Davis.
