Here are my notes on this family:
> Captain Edward Richmond, son of John Richmond (q. v.), was born about
1632,
> and probably came to this country before his father. He had a share in
> Westerly, Rhode Island, 1661. He was general solicitor in
1667-69-70-72; in
> 1676 he and his men captured seven Indians in King Philip's war; he
was clerk
> of a court-martial that condemned to death some Indians; he was one of
the
> grantees of East Greenwich in 1677; attorneygeneral in 1677-78-79-80;
deputy,
> 1678-79; selectman, 1683-85-89-90; captain in 1690. He was a member of
the
> Church of England. His gravestone is to be seen on the old Richmond
farm at
> Little Compton, Rhode Island, inscribed: "Here lyeth the body of
Edward
