FIRST GENERATION

RICHARD OLMSTED, Norwalk, Conn. bap. at Fairsted, Essex County, England, Feb. 20,1612 ; son o� Richard Olmsted, who was son of James and Jane (Bristow) Olmsted, of Great Leighs, Essex County, England. His will is dated Sept. 5, 1684. As appears in his will, he was married twice, but the names of his wives are not known. His sons were children of the first wife. He also had a daughter who had died before the making of his will. 3954, James +. 3955, John +.

Richard Olmsted came with the family to America, and until his marriage was probably a member of his Uncle James' family; but of the date of that event we have no record. He came to Hartford in the summer of 1636, with the party from Newtown, Mass. He was one of the first settlers and proprietors of the new town. In two divisions of land, he had in the proportion of 10 and 8. His house lot was No. 49, and was on the west side of Main St., on part of which now stands the Center Church and the old burying ground (the second one in Hartford).

The town bought the lot, as per record: " The 11 of January, 1640. It is further ordered that the Burying-place is appointed to be (a) parcel of Richard Olmsted's lot; and for satisfaction to Richard Olmsted for the said Burying- place, and the fencing about it, he is to have a parcel of land lying at the North Meadow gate; (the Cow-yard: containing about an acre and a half of ground.)" " The said Richard Olmsted is to have part of John Skinner's lot, on which the said John Skinner's house stands; and the said John Skinner is to remove his dwelling house." " Richard Olmsted is to trans-sill his house that stands upon the Burying-place and then the town is to remove it to the lot, the same, Richard Olmsted receives of John Skinner." This lot of John Skinner's was No. 48, next north of Richard Olmsted's lot No. 49.

One of the first persons buried there was probably his Uncle James Olmsted.

From his owning a house in Hartford, it is probable that he was married before 1640.

On June 19, 1650, articles of agreement were drawn up for the purchase of " Norwalke," from Roger Ludlow, of Fairfield, Conn., and at a session of the General Court of the Colony, the 26th of June, 1650, Nathaniel Ely and Richard Olmsted in behalf of themselves and other inhabitants of Hartford, desired the leave and approbation of the Court for (the) planting of Norwalk, to whom an affirmative answer was returned Sept. 11, 1651: " it was ordered that Nonvalk should be a town."

Richard Olmsted moved to Norwalk in 1650 or 1651, as his name appears in the deed of the Indian Chiefs dated Feb. 15, 1651. The land purchased from Roger Ludlow comprised only the eastern part of the town. The purchase price was fifteen pounds with some additional considerations. The central part of Nonvalk had been originally purchased by Capt. Patrick of Greenwich, but the payment had never been completed to the satisfaction of the Indians. The amount still owing, viz.: " two Indian coates and fowre fathom of wampam " was made good to them and that part of the town also acquired. The additional land secured from the Indian chiefs, Feb. 15, 1651, " for the consideration of Thirtie Fathum of Wampum, Tenn Kettles, Fifteen Coates, Tenn payr of Stockings, Tenn Knifes, Tenn Hookes, Twenty Pipes, Tenn Muckes, and Tenn needles " comprised the western part of Norwalk. In a table of original grants of home lots to the first settlers of Norwalk, 1652, appears the name of Richard Olmsted and a description of his home lot: 4 acres and 1 rood, Lots 15 and half of 17, with 219 acres commonage. In the "estate of lands and accommodations " of Norwalk in 1655 he is credited with /219.

Mr. Selleck, in his History of Norwalk (p. 24), says: "It speaks well for the new company's enterprise and loyalty that it was able to send its maiden delegate, Richard Olmsted, to Hartford, even as early as May, 1653."
"To make it personal, it is recorded that the day after the Court sat, Richard Olmsted was appointed Sergeant, and deputed to 'exercise' the Norwalk soldiers and 'to examine their arms.'
"Richard Olmsted bore the test of power well, and his first year as Representative was supplemented by a ' dozen other sessions to 1679.' "
Richard Olmsted must have been living as late as July 8, 1686, for his name appears in a patent bearing that date, by which patent the original purchase of lands from the Indians for the site of Norwalk is confirmed by the Governor and General Court of Connecticut.

His Civil Services

In 1646, Constable in Hartford.
In 1649, Fence viewer in Hartford.
In 1653, Deputy of Norwalk to the General Court at Hartford.
In 1656, appointed by the General Court, Leather seller, for Norwalk.
In 1657, chosen Townsman in Norwalk.
May 19, 1659, appointed with three others to settle a difficulty between the towns of Stratford and Fairfield, with the Indians, relative to lands.
May 17, 1660, he was appointed Grand Juror for Nonvalk.
Oct. 4, 1660, Deputy to the General Court at Hartford. He was chosen Deputy of Norwalk to the General Court a dozen times between 1660 and 1679.
In 16(54, " The Court appointed Mr. Campfield, Deacon More, Mr. Fayre- child, Mr. Hull and Lt. Olmsted a committee to ripen the business respecting the Calf in controversie between Mr. Lord and Danl. Cone who returned that they having viewed the Sayd beast, and the evidences of both sides, doe judge it to be Mr. Lord's steare. The Court confirms this determination that the stear doth belong to Mr. Lord."

At a General Court, held at Hartford, called by the Governor, July 6, 1665, it was announced that the Court has been advised by his Majesty's order, that DeRuyter is likely to assault the Colonies, and that his Majesty had made known his pleasure that the Colonies should put themselves in a posture of defense. The Court ordered that each plantation in the Colony should consider some way to discover the approach of the enemy, and appointed Committees, to act generally in this matter from each town.

Lt. Olmsted appears on the Committee appointed to represent the Colony or that part between Stratford and Rye.
Oct. 12, 1665, he was appointed to view the lands appertaining to Hastings and Rye, for a new plantation.
In 1666, he was appointed to run line between Fairfield and Norwalk.
In 1667, he was sent to Rye to procure a minister, and hire him for ��"40 a year.
May 13, 1669, he was granted 60 acres of land, where he could find it.
1669 to 1675, Selectman in Norwalk.
In 1670, he was appointed to survey lands, at the charge of Norwalk, Stamford, Greenwich and Rye.
Nov. 26, 1673, he was appointed Muster Master for Fairfield County.
In 1675, at a meeting of the Council he was appointed one of two, to sign bills for the payment of the soldiers. (King Philip's War.)
He was Commissioner for Norwalk, with magisterial powers, from 1668 to 1677.

His Military Services

He was a soldier in the Pequot War, May, 1637, and had a grant of land for his services in the " Soldiers' Field."

Appointed Sergeant. May 21, 1653, to a company of 65 men, and allowed to exercise the soldier? at Norwalk and to view the arms, and to make return to the Court of the defects. He was also appointed Sergeant to a company of 65 men to be raised in the several towns of the Colony.

Lieut., May 19, 1659.

He was a soldier in King Philip's War, fiom June, 1675 to 1676.

Capt. in 1680, commissioned for the next 6 years.

In 1681, Capt. Richard Olmsted was appointed one of the Committee to order and dispose of the affairs of the plantation upon the Hop Ground (now Bedford, in Westchester County, N. Y.).

From all this it appears, that in conjunctions of special difficulty and danger, requiring great intrepidity, integrity and sound judgment, he had the confidence of the Colony and his townsmen to a high degree.

Richard Olmsted was in 1059 one of a Committee of four, appointed by the General Court, to lay out 80 acres on Golden Hill, in Bridgeport, Conn., as a permanent dwelling place for the Indians. His wife was in Hartford in July, 1672, being sick with fever and ague, as appears from a letter from John Winthrop, Jr., to Waite Winthrop, Esq.

Harlem, Delaware County, Ohio
Feb. 23, 1878
F. M. Marriott
Delaware, Ohio

My dear Son:-
Yours together with the two letters from William Marriott of
Baltimore, Md. is before me. I will give you the best history of the
Marriott and Ridgley families that I can.
My grandfather, Joshua Marriott, either emigrated from France or
Italy, according to the best evidence from France.
My grandmother, Rachel Ann Homewood (wife of Joshua Marriott) came
from England and settled in Maryland about 1740. They had seven
children: Thomas, Rebecca, James M. Joshua, Ann, Rachel and Homewood.
The latter was my father.
My father, Homewood, married Mary Ridgley of Anne Arundel County,
Md. She was the daughter of Rev. Greenberry Ridgley. They were married
about 1798 and had eleven children. Came to Ohio in 1811, settled where
Utica now stands in Licking County. Their children were named: Joshua
R., James, Greenberry, Rachel Ann, Eliza, Mary, Thomas H., Sarah,
Rebecca, William P. and Isaiah.
The Thomas Marriott who wrote you is a son of Jonathon Marriott
whose father died near Utica, Licking County. At the time his father
moved to Ohio, Jonathon was left in Maryland with his two Uncles,
Jonathan and Franklin Waters, both doctors. The rest of his children
came to Ohio with him: Henry, Caroline, Eliza, Elisha, Mary Ann,
Richard, William, Artirago and Nathan.
I am a full cousin to said Baltimore Thomas' grandfather, he being
the oldest son of my father's oldest brother. Thomas Marriott, who was
born in 1757.
I herewith send you a copy of a record made by my father in an old
pocketbook of his which has always been a keepsake of mine. I suppose
it to be a copy from his father's family record.
"Thomas Marriott was born July 10, 1757
Rebecca Mariott was born Oct. 25, 1760
James H. Marriott was born Oct. 26, 1766 [typed as H. not M. as
above]
Joshua Marriott was born Apr. 28, 1769
Ann Marriott was born Dec. 12, 1771
Rachel Marriott was born Jan. 18, 1775
Homewood Marriott was born July 27, 1779."
The latter, Homewood Marriott, is my father, and Joshua Marriott
referred to is old Kentucky Billy's father and Thomas is the father of
the said Baltimore William's grandfather.
Your great-grandfather and my grandfather, Greenberry Ridgley's
family were named: Noah and Lot (twins), Mary (my mother), Susan,
Isaiah, Rodah, Greenberry (afterwards Dr. Greenberry Ridgley of New
Orl(eans?) and James Nicholas (afterward banker of Springfield, Ill.)
My uncle, Lot Ridgley, had but one son who died young. My uncle,
Noah Ridgley, had three sons and two daughters. His third son, Lot
Henderson Ridgley received a part of his literary education at Kenyon
College, Knox County, Ohio, and afterwards graduated at West Point; went
into the Mexican war as a lieutenant and commanded a battery (18 lb.)
under Capt. Bragg at the memorable battle of Palo Alto and Resaca de la
Palma assisted in capturing Gen. LaVega, and afterwards lost his life
while boldly charging the enemy as aid-de-camp for General Lane in
company of Captain May and Captain Hayes.
I think the Ridgley family came from England, and am very sure the
Homewood family came from England, but the Marriott's came from France.
My great-grandfather, the father of my grandmother was named
Homewood and I was named for him. He had but three children: two
daughters and a son, Charles Homewood, a very eminent lawyer who was
wealthy and owned a very large estate.
I perhaps can give you the most correct account of our ancestry, as
I was always inquisitive, asking my mother many questions concerning
their origin, and my mother was possessed of uncommon memory, could at
any time in two years previous to her death give the precise dates of
the births of her own children with the true dates of the births of each
and all of her grandchildren without once referring to the family record
which you know is something remarkable.
I have a pair of sleeve buttons now in my possession that are
excellent gold and that were once owned by my great grandfather, Thomas
Homewood. They have his initials "T.H." engraved on them. I suppose
they were used more than 200 years ago.

Delaware, Ohio

My dear Son:-
Yours together with the two letters from William Marriott of
Baltimore, Md. is before me. I will give you the best history of the
Marriott and Ridgley families that I can.
My grandfather, Joshua Marriott, either emigrated from France or
Italy, according to the best evidence from France.
My grandmother, Rachel Ann Homewood (wife of Joshua Marriott) came
from England and settled in Maryland about 1740. They had seven
children: Thomas, Rebecca, James M. Joshua, Ann, Rachel and Homewood.
The latter was my father.
My father, Homewood, married Mary Ridgley of Anne Arundel County,
Md. She was the daughter of Rev. Greenberry Ridgley. They were married
about 1798 and had eleven children. Came to Ohio in 1811, settled where
Utica now stands in Licking County. Their children were named: Joshua
R., James, Greenberry, Rachel Ann, Eliza, Mary, Thomas H., Sarah,
Rebecca, William P. and Isaiah.
The Thomas Marriott who wrote you is a son of Jonathon Marriott
whose father died near Utica, Licking County. At the time his father
moved to Ohio, Jonathon was left in Maryland with his two Uncles,
Jonathan and Franklin Waters, both doctors. The rest of his children
came to Ohio with him: Henry, Caroline, Eliza, Elisha, Mary Ann,
Richard, William, Artirago and Nathan.
I am a full cousin to said Baltimore Thomas' grandfather, he being
the oldest son of my father's oldest brother. Thomas Marriott, who was
born in 1757.
I herewith send you a copy of a record made by my father in an old
pocketbook of his which has always been a keepsake of mine. I suppose
it to be a copy from his father's family record.
"Thomas Marriott was born July 10, 1757
Rebecca Mariott was born Oct. 25, 1760
James H. Marriott was born Oct. 26, 1766 [typed as H. not M. as
above]
Joshua Marriott was born Apr. 28, 1769
Ann Marriott was born Dec. 12, 1771
Rachel Marriott was born Jan. 18, 1775
Homewood Marriott was born July 27, 1779."
The latter, Homewood Marriott, is my father, and Joshua Marriott
referred to is old Kentucky Billy's father and Thomas is the father of
the said Baltimore William's grandfather.
Your great-grandfather and my grandfather, Greenberry Ridgley's
family were named: Noah and Lot (twins), Mary (my mother), Susan,
Isaiah, Rodah, Greenberry (afterwards Dr. Greenberry Ridgley of New
Orl(eans?) and James Nicholas (afterward banker of Springfield, Ill.)
My uncle, Lot Ridgley, had but one son who died young. My uncle,
Noah Ridgley, had three sons and two daughters. His third son, Lot
Henderson Ridgley received a part of his literary education at Kenyon
College, Knox County, Ohio, and afterwards graduated at West Point; went
into the Mexican war as a lieutenant and commanded a battery (18 lb.)
under Capt. Bragg at the memorable battle of Palo Alto and Resaca de la
Palma assisted in capturing Gen. LaVega, and afterwards lost his life
while boldly charging the enemy as aid-de-camp for General Lane in
company of Captain May and Captain Hayes.
I think the Ridgley family came from England, and am very sure the
Homewood family came from England, but the Marriott's came from France.
My great-grandfather, the father of my grandmother was named
Homewood and I was named for him. He had but three children: two
daughters and a son, Charles Homewood, a very eminent lawyer who was
wealthy and owned a very large estate.
I perhaps can give you the most correct account of our ancestry, as
I was always inquisitive, asking my mother many questions concerning
their origin, and my mother was possessed of uncommon memory, could at
any time in two years previous to her death give the precise dates of
the births of her own children with the true dates of the births of each
and all of her grandchildren without once referring to the family record
which you know is something remarkable.
I have a pair of sleeve buttons now in my possession that are
excellent gold and that were once owned by my great grandfather, Thomas
Homewood. They have his initials "T.H." engraved on them. I suppose
they were used more than 200 years ago.

[NI5013] Need more proof that Mary is their daughter. Family letter says it was Rev. Greenbury Ridgely, but I'm not sure if there were more than one, father and son or another. Warfield in his book on the fonders of Anne Arundel Co. has a Rev. Greenbury Ridgely son of William. But, Marriages book says son of Henry

LDS Endowments for the dead, 1884-1970; heir indexes, 1884-1961; baptisms for the dead, 1943-1970 Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Logan Temple lists a Greenbury Ridgely with wife Rachel Ryan as having a son Greenbury Ridgely on 25 May 1790 in Baltimore County, Maryland. This fits,but needs more proof. tpg Apr 2002
