Died:October 3, 1715 Berkeley, Massachusetts
Father: John Richmond
Mother: Unknown
Husband: William Pall
Children
Benjamin Paul b: 1681
Notes:
-Buried at Fox Cemetery in Berkeley, but tombstone is not original
-Became pregnant with Richard Canterbury's child without being
married to him. She would marry William Pall before the child was born,
but this did not help her escape fornication charges and conviction. On
November 3, 1658 at the General Court of Trials at Warrick she was found
guilty, and sentenced to be whipt or pay forty shilings.
-
-Her father's name was John Richmond, Sr., but not much else is proven
about him. There are a lot of conflicting sources and information, but I
hav not found any solid evidence of anything, except that he was born in
England, and died March 20, 1664 in Taunton, Massachusetts.
