Yesterdays To Be Remembered

 It all began when Stephen Richardson fell in love with Lady Jane Montgomery in Londonderry,Northern Ireland.He was the head Groundskeeper.Since her family would never agree to a union between a lowly born man of his caliber and their blue blood,beautiful daughter;the two lovebirds decided to run away or be separated for life.They secretly married in 1730 when he was 30 years old and she was 21. They boarded a ship bound for the New World and settled in Londonderry,New Hampshire.They had nine children.From my research,it looks like she was in the family way when they were married because their firstborn,James,was born the same year they were married.Then followed Patience,Stephen,Thomas,Elijah,Hugh,Deborah Charity,Jabez(stillborn) and another Patience.
