Notes	Richard Kimball, the immigrant ancestor, was from the parish of Rattlesd«n, county Suffolk, England, where his son Henry was baptized August 12, 1615. He married Ursula, daughter of Henry Scott, of Rattlesden. The will of Henry Scott, dated September 24, 1624, was proved in the arch-deacoflry of Sudbury, January 10, following, and he was buried in Rattlesden, December 24, 1624. The will mentions Abigail, Henry, Elizabeth and Richard Kimball, his grandchildren, who were the children of Henry and Ursula (Scott) Kimball; also his wife Martha and sons Roger and Thomas Scott, the latter of whom came to America in the same ship with Richard Kimball and Martha Scott, the widow, aged sixty years. The family came in the ship "Elizabeth" of Ipswich, sailing April 30, 1634. The ages of the family asthen given were: Richard, thirty-nine, with wife Ursula and children—Henry, fifteen; Elizabeth, thirteen; Richard, eleven; Mary, nine; Martha, five; John, three; Thomas, one. They settled at Watertown, where Henry Kimball, aged forty-two, and family, also settled. This Henry is thought to have been a brother; he came in the same ship. The home lot of Richard Kimball was six acres on the Cambridge line, now in the city of Cambridge, near the corner of Huron avenue and Appleton street. He was admitted a freeman, May 6, 1635, and wasa proprietor of the town in 1636-37. Soon afterward he moved to Ipswich, where the settlers required the services of a wheelwright, and he followed his trade here, and also carried on a farm.

He was granted at the same time forty acres beyond the North river, near land of Robert Scott. In 1641 he was mentioned as one of the commoners of Ipswich, and elected a selectman, March i, 1645. He had various other grants of land and served on various town committees. He was one ofthe executors of the estate of his brother-in-law, Thomas Scott, who died in February, 1653-54. He was one of the proprietors of Plum Island. He married (second) October 23, 1661, Margaret Dow, widow of Henry Dow, of Hampton, New Hampshire. She died March i, 1675-76. His will was dated March 5, 1674, and proved September 28, 1675. He died June 22, 1675, aged eighty years.
