  • Notes 
    • He brought his family to America in 1634 in the ship Elizabeth. The le aders of a new Colony asked him to come as Wheelwright (made wagon whee ls) to Watertown, Mass. He owned considerable property in what is now C ambridge but was then Watertown. He was proclaimed freeman May 6, 1635 . He was soon invited to settle in Ipswich, Mass. where he spent the r emainder of his life. In 1637 he was given a lot and forty acres of la nd beyond the North River. In 1653 he was one of the three town survey ors. In 1664 he owned 43 acres on Plumb Island. Before coming to this c ountry he married Ursula Scott in Rattlesden about 1611. She was the g randdaughter of Sir William Scott and Lady Mary Howard, daughter of Cha rles Howard, Earl of Nottingham.

      While it is true indeed that many generations of descendants and other i nterested parties have literally spent hours and days and weeks and yea rs striving to find reliable documentation, the parentage of Richard Ki mball is still unproven. It is believed by some that he was the son of H enry Kimball LVYY-88H or of Richard Kimball MK82-PD8.
      . . . . . . . . . .
      According to NEHGR 28:241 . . . "Richard Kimball and Ursula, his wife, c ame in the Elizabeth of Ipswich, in 1634... With them came Martha Scott , aged 60, and Thomas Scott, aged 40, who were probably the mother and b rother of Richard's wife as he calls Martha Scott his mother in records ."

      Anderson's Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Vol. I V, I-L, p 157 says this: "MARRIAGE: (1) By 1615 Ursula Scott, daughter o H enry Scott of Rattlesden, Suffolk (in his will of 24 September 1623, He nry Scott included bequests to 'Abigail Kemball my grandchild,' to 'my g randchild Henry Kemball' and to 'grandchildren Elizabeth and Richard Ke mball [NEHGR 52:248, citing 'Bury Wills, Book Pearle, L., 117"; Phoebe T ilton Anc 117-20]."
