of Ipswich, Massachusetts. Page 27:
...wrongs heaped upon the Puritans in 1634, which the proud spirits
of many could not brook, but in the wilds of New England they sought out
a home in which they might be free.
The leaders in the exodus were many of them men of influence in
England, & they brought with them many men of the middle classes,
who were also tired of the tyranny & exactions to which they were
subjected. To this class belonged the sturdy wheelwright, Richard
Kimball 1. He had a trade which would be eminently useful in the new
colony. His services were in such request that he was soon called to
leave his first settlement in Watertown & go to Ipswich, where he
was given a house lot, & other privileges, on condition that he
should be the town wheelwright.

GRANTEDRichard Kemball 1 came to this country in the
ship Elizabeth, William Andrews, master, in 1634. He appears to
have gone soon after landing, to Watertown, Massachusetts.
He settled in different part of the town from that occupied by Henry
Kemball 1.
Acording to Bond & other writers Richard & Henry were
brothers. There is but little evidence to support this
supposition, & it seems to be mainly founded on the fact they they
both came over on the same vessel. Richard is said on the shipping list
to be thirty-nine years old, but he was probably somewhat older. He was,
however, in the prime of life, & soon became a
prominent & active man in the new settlement.
He first settled in Watertown, & his home lot is thus given by
Dr. Henry Bond: Richard Kimball, six acres, bounded on the north by
Cambridge, east by land of W. Hamlet, south by the highway, & west
by land of Edward White.
This lot was situated a long way from the centre of the town. It
is now in Cambridge, which many years ago annexed the eastern part of
Watertown. The lot was situated near what is now the corner of Huron
avenue & Appleton street, & near springs of water.
PAGE 4:
He was proclaimed freeman in 1635, May 6. Was a proprietor in 1636-7
Soon aftaer this date he was invited to remove to Ipswich, where they were
in need of a competent man to act as wheelwright to the new settlement.
Here he spent the remainder of his days. The town granted him a house lot,
Feb. 23, 1637, next adjoining Goodwin Simons at the west end of the town.
He was also granted at the same time "40 acres Beyond the North Riuer, near
the land of Robert Scott." In 1639 he had liberty to pasture "two cows
free". On "the last day of the last month 1641" he is mentioned as "Among
the Commoners of Ipswich." He was appointed one of the seven men March 1,
1645. On the 22d day of the tenth mo. 1647 he was allowed two Pounds for
killing two foxes.
His services as wheelwright were appreciated by his townspeople, for
he was permitted in January, 1649, "to fell such white Oaks as he hath
occasion touse about his trade for the town use."
December 19, 1648, he contributed with others three shillings as his
annual proportion towards the sum of 27 pounds, 7 s, as a rate for the
services of the military forces of Essex & Norfolk counties.
In September, 1652, he was one of the appraisers of the estate of
John Cross, one of the earliest settlers of Ipswich.
On the 25, day 11 mo 1652, he & his son Richard, Wheelwrights,
"for 14 pounds sell 30 acraes upland bounding on land of Mr. John
Winthrop," also another lot of land of ten acraes of "medow".
In 1653 he was one of a committee of three to survey fences in the
common fields north of the river. His brother-in-law Thomas Scott
died Feb. 1653-4 & he was joint executor with Edmund Bridges of hiswill.
On May 25, 1654, their official position was recognized by Thomas Scott,
Jr., then a resident of Stamford, Conn.
In 1660 he was granted right "to fell 20 white oak trees to make
weels for the townsmen their use." In 1664 he owned 43 shares in Plumb
Island.
Richard Kimball was of the parish of Rattlesden, county of Suffolk,
England, as is shown by the following entry on the parish register:
Henry Kemball ye sonne of Richard & Vrsula his wife
baptized 1615 12 of August.
Ursula was the d/o Henry Scott of Rattlesden, as appears from the
following extract from Henry Scott's will:
"To Abigale Kemball my grandchild twentie shillings to be paid at 21
to Henrie Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21 to
Elizabeth Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21 to
Richard Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21." He also
mentions his wife Martha, & sons Roger & Thomas Scott. Thomas Scott
came with his wife & children to this country in the same vessel as
Richard & his family, & they brought Martha Scott with them. This
will was made 24 Sept. 1625 In the 21st year of James of England by Henry
Scott of Rattlesden in the County of Suffolk & diocese of Norwich.
It was proved in the court of the Arch deacon of Sudbury 10 January
1624-5. As Thomas Scott settled in Ipswich this may have had some
influence in causing Richard's removal from Watertown. Henry Scott was
buried at Rattlesden, Dec. 24, 1624. (Parish Register.)

(3*) KIMBALL Richard 2 (Richard 1) was born at Rattlesden, in the
county of Suffolk, England, about 1623, & came to America in the ship
Elizabeth with his father.
He married twice, both his wives having Mary for a given name. It
is probable that his second wife was named Mary Gott. His first wife died
Sept. 2, 1672. He had eight children that were alive at the time of his
death, as is shown by an agreement made between them & his widow. Their
names are not given in the agreement. Several depositions of his are on
file in the court records at Salem. In September, 1658, he says: "That his
Uncle Thomas Scott of Ipswich challenged the upland down to the Marsh &
his son after him while I lived on Goodman Shatswell's farm for seven
years."

Richard Kimball of Wenham was grand juror in 1661.
Richard was of Topsfield in 1664. He was called a wheelwright &
yeoman. He removed to Wenham between the years 1652 & 1656. He was the
first settler of the name in Wenham. He settled in the western part of the
town, near Ladd's hill. He appears to have been the largest taxpayer among
the early settlers, & his descendants have generally been in
comfortable circumstances. He was a large land holdler, as is shown by
numerous transactions recorded in Salem, Massachusetts. On July 6, 1665,
he sold to his brother Caleb, for 30 pounds, his house with one acre of
land about it & six acres in the common field, all included in the
bounds of Ipswich.
November 8, 1657, he subscribed 3 pounds as minister's rate, to be
paid one half in wheat and one half in Indian corn. The next year he was
chosen selectman, in which office he continued, with the exception of three
years, till 1674. Dec. 4, 1660, he was on the committee to see about
building the new meeting house. The matter was deferred until Aug. 21,
1663, when the committee having at last agreed to build, he was one of the
committee to join with the selectmen to put out the contract.
28, 12 mo (Feb.) 1663, "tis agreed yt there then shall be 200 Akers
of land of ye best of our comon Leased to foure men for 1000 years: viz.
