Richard BLOOD Abt. 1617 "Nottingham, England" Isabel WILKINSON Bef. 26 NOV 1642 "Lynn, MA" 7 DEC 1683 "Groton, MA" "Henry Wilkinson's will proves that Richard and Isabel had come to MA as early as 1632.Henry remembered his cousin, Isable WILKINSON in his will.Richard proably worked at the iron works on the Saugus River, and his home was nearby, on the river.
Records of the Salem court show that he and two other mentook a piece of iron from a deputy marshall trying to servea writ on the iron works.
this happened in the plant, so he was, no doubt, working there.
In 1654, he served on a jury at Salem, and was a selectman at Lynn at the same time. Richard and his two brothers, or cousins, James and John BLOOD, were among 10 signers of a petition to the Court of MA for a spot for a new plantation on the river that runs from Nashaway into merrimack at a place or about a place called ""Ettiquette"" and ""Abandoned"".
The court granted them ""eight miles square in the place desired to make a comfortable plantation, Goarten"" (Groten).
this was done 25 MAY 1655.
At the time, richard and isabel already had 4 or 5 children. It was about 1660 when the familyactually moved to Groton, but he and others had made many improvements before that. In 1659, a committee of the General Court referred to Richard Smith, Robert Martin, and Richard and robert BLOD as ""the old planters and their assigns"".
Robert later preferred to return to his farms near Concord,but Richard remained in Groton for the rest of his life, in a settlement called Nod. His was the largest land grnat, of 60 acres, while the others received 50. He was on the first Board of Selectmen and continued on it for several years, and he was the fifth town clerk.
Sad to say, richard was in the habit of giving liquor to the Indians, in order to get their trade. An Indian, John Wonoto, tstified that he had bought liquor from Richard and his son, Joseph, a few days before a group of drumken Indians entered Groton, robbed one house, and killed and ate several of Richard's cattle. He also said they had been trading rum for furs.
Later that yuear., several young men of the town were in a drunken quarrel, and in the quarrel, one was killed by a drunken Indian. Joseph, in this case, testified as to hhat had happened.
During King Phillip's War, Groton was pretty much wiped pout.Fighting continued there from 2 MAR - 13 MAR, 1676. when the last survivors fought their way out to freedom. Richard was then a soldier for Concord, as that is where the family took refuge.
Joseph also took part in this war, and is mentioned as a part of a scouting party down near Swansea, where it is believed that he met his wife, Mercy BUTTERWORTH.She was half his age, and they had but one son.
Groton was resettled in 1678, and Richard and family returned at that time." http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/Betty--Sullivan/
