Richard, Capt., Jan. 21, 1732-3. [in his 73d y. GR1] https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/18149447/richard-kimball
Captain Richard Kimball (also sometimes called Cornet) was born 20 Nov 1659 in Hampton,
Rockingham Co., New Hampshire, son of Thomas Kimball and Mary (Smith) Kimball. Some time
after 1660 he moved with his family to that part of Rowley, Essex Co., Massachusetts, that later
became Bradford. Ma.
A few months after the outbreak of King Philip's War, on the night of 2 May 1676, (when Richard was
about 15 or 16 years old) three native Americans (Peter, Andrew, and Symon) attacked the Kimball
home along the Merrimac River. Richard's father, Thomas, was killed and his mother and five of his
siblings (Joanna, Thomas, Joseph, Priscilla, and John) were taken captive.
They remained captives of the native Americans in the wilderness for 45 days, until
Chief Wanalancet of the Pennacook Indians intervened and arranged for their release on
13 Jun 1676.
At the age of 22 Richard married Sarah Spofford, the daughter of John Spofford and Elizabeth
(Scott) Spofford, the daughter of John Spofford and Elizabeth (Scott), on 7 Sep 1682 in
Bradford, Essex Co., Massachusetts. They continued to live in Bradford, Massachusetts
where Richard became a prominent man in church and town affairs. In the militia service
he was a Cornet, but later rose to the rank of Captain.
As a result he is often called "Captain" or "Cornet."
