| Notes |
arrived in America aboard the Elizabeth which had embarked from Ipswich, Suffolk England on 10 Apr 1634, William Andrews, master. Included on the passenger list were Richard, age 39, wife Ursula and children Henry age 15, Elizabeth age 13, Richard age 11, Mary age 9, Martha age 5, John age 3 and Thomas age 1. The family apparently came with Richard's brother Henry Kimball and Ursula's mother (Martha) and brother's family (Thomas and Elizabeth, both age 40).
Worked as a mechanic and wheelwright in Suffolk. They settled in Watertown MA before moving to Ipswich, MA about 1637. Richard was listed as a freeman in Watertown in 1635. He was a selectman for Ipswich in 1645 and the surveyor of fences in 1653. He later moved back to Watertown.
| from Reflections from a Busy Life by Ivory G. Kimball |
I am a descendant of Richard Kimball, who with his brother Henry sailed from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England, April 10th, 1634, on the ship Elizabeth, William Andrews, Master, and settled in Watertown, Mass.
Richard, being a wheelwright, removed to Ispwich, Mass. in 1837, at the request of the inhabitants of that town. All the Kimballs in the United States are believed to be descendants of these two brothers.
Richard Kimball became one of the prominent citizens of Ipswich, being frequently mentioned in its records and dying there in 1675. |
Resources: Richard's will was dated 5 Mar 1674 and probated 28 Sep 1675. The inventory of his estate totaled £ 737, 3 shillings, 6 pence.
