Families of the Children of Jane5 Washburn and Job5 Richmond
The children and grandchildren of Jane “Jenny” Washburn and Job Richmond remained around the Middleborough-Norton-Raynham-Taunton-Attleborough-North Bridgewater-Abington area of Massachusetts except for son Ward Richmond, who moved to New York City, then to Newark, New Jersey. Once again, I have relied heavily on Joshua Bailey Richmond’s The Richmond Family for the Richmond family structure, which, despite its age and lack of documentation, has proven to be relatively accurate when the sources are found and checked against it, except for some of the dates he gives.

The Will of Noah Ford of Brockton,
Plymouth County, Commonwealth of Massachusetts (1875) *
I Noah Ford
of Brockton in the County of Plymouth and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, make
this my last will. Previous to my marriage with my present wife Margaretta, a
verbal agreement was made between us that she should be paid the sum of One
Thousand Dollars in consideration of her relinquishing all other future
interest in my estate, whether as my wife of widow. I now desire that we may
each fulfil the verbal agreement then made.
I desire my
wife Margaretta, at my decease, to relinquish and convey to my son and
daughter, all the rights of dower or homestead, which she may have in any of
the Real Estate of which I may then be possessed.
And on the
sole and express condition that she shall accede to my wish in this respect,
and shall so relinquish and convey all her such rights of dower and homestead,
in my Real Estate, I give and bequeath to her, my said wife, Margaretta Ford,
out of my personal estate, the sum of One Thousand Dollars in money.
And if my
said wife Margaretta, shall comply with this request, and shall thus relinquish
and convey her rights of dower and homestead in my Real Estate, I give and
bequeath all and singular the rest of my personal estate, and give and devise
all my Real Estate to my son and daughter to be equally divided between them.
But if my
said wife shall not comply with this my request, I give and bequeath all and
singular my entire personal estate to my son and daughter to be equally divided
between them. And I give and devise all my Real Estate to my son and daughter.
I wish however in that case that my Real Estate shall remain undivided, until
the decease of my wife, or until such time as her interest therein shall be
extinguished by some satisfactory arrangement with her, (the improvement of
which Real Estate shall be, from time to time, equally divided between my said
son and daughter,) when said Real Estate shall be sold, and the proceeds
thereof equally divided between my said son or his heirs, and my said daughter
or her heirs.
I appoint Henry A. Ford and Charles R. Ford
or either of them, if the other should be deceased to be the executors or
executor of this my last will.
In witness whereof I have signed, sealed,
published and declared, this instrument as my last will and testament, at
Brockton this thirtieth day of December, in the year of our Lord Eighteen
Hundred and seventy five.
