Benjamin b. 1637 d. 1696

Note: There was a smallpox epidemic in Massachusetts in 1676. This MAY explain the large
number of deaths in 1676-1677 among the adult Kimball children.
In 1634, Richard, his wife Ursula, and children Henry, Abigail, Elizabeth, Richard, Mary, Martha, John, and Thomas came to New England on the ship "Elizabeth". They settled in Watertown. Richard was declared Freeman on May 6, 1635.
In 1637, Richard and his family moved to Ipswich. He continued to work as a wheelwright in addition to farming.
Richard's wife Ursula died in 1660. On Oct. 23, 1661, he married Margaret Cole Dow.
Richard Kimball died on Jun. 22, 1675. At his death, Richard owned more than 100 acres of land in Ipswich. His wife Margaret died on Mar. 1, 1676.
