I also found Mary in the Richmond Book - John 1, Edward 2, Edward 3,
Benjamin 4, Mary 5 (born June 16, 1720 in Little Compton. Fifth
Generation #300. No spouse shown in the Richmond book. Page 32.

Searching under "Richmond" it shows the book, along with the other
3-volume English set from the 1930's I mentioned earlier:

pr00265
RICHMOND    Family, 1594-1896, & pre-American ancestry,
1040-1594, by J.B. Richmond. 633p. 1897.
$95.00 paperback, $107.00 hardback

I also notice the paperback reprint for sale by Tuttle Antiquarian
Books, Inc. , Rutland, VT, U.S.A. on ABEbooks.com for $75.

Incidentally, abebooks is where I found a copy of the original Richmond
book for sale, which came from Providence, R.I. Rhode Island must have
a lot of Richmond connections.

Now that I have both an original, plus a hardback Higginson copy, I
suppose I don't need both. I'll have to think about it, whether I want
to keep it for daily use to preserve the original. But I may be
willing to sell my hardback used copy cheaper than the paperback copy
already online at Tuttle Antiquarian Books.

In your case, you might prefer a genealogist to just photocopy a few
pages for you. But it's certainly nice to have the whole book!
