| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth rec found. There is strong circumstantial evidence that Joshua is the son of Edward Richardson of Newbury. Robert Carr deposed, 27 Mar 1677, that he saw Joshua Richardson at the home of his father the night the Newbury meeting house was vandalized (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 6:259 [FHL #974.45 P2e]). A study of Richardson families in Newbury found that Edward Richardson was the only one of this name old enough to have had a son the age of Joshua. Furthermore, Joshua appears in several documents with Edward. Their names appear together on the list of Newbury men taking the oath of allegiance in 1678. Joshua's age was given as 28, Edward's age was 61 (Ibid, 7:157). Their names appear together on another petition, 31 Mar 1682 (Ibid, 8:379-80). One of the alleged accomplices of Joshua Richardson in the vandalism of the meeting house was Caleb Richardson, a proved son of Edward. Joshua Richardson, age 72, and Caleb Richardson, age 67, jointly testified concerning the land of Benjamin Woodbridge, 25 Feb 1719/20 (Essex Co. Deeds, 39:64 [FHL #866031]). Joshua deposed on 26 Sep 1677 that he was 28 yrs old (RECORDS AND FILES, 6:332-33). The various ages given by Joshua suggest he was born about 1647-50.
