Richard was born in Bedford, N.H. and about 1769 he married Susan Diamond during the first 6 years of their marriage they lived in Bedford where their first 2 children were born. He was last taxed in Bedford in 1772,and it seems that for at least part of the next 2 or 3 years he was in Antrim, N.H. clearing land and preparing a home site on the northern slope of meeting house hill. His older brother John had been living in Antrim since 1766. In 1775 Richard and his family moved to Antrim, N.H. Their home was the first house north of the fork of the road, and it was later known as the Abraham Smith place.

In Antrim Richard was Prominent among the first settlers. In 1777 he was a member of the first board of Selectmen; he also was a member of this board in 1784. He was a Member of the First Presbyterian Church of Antrim, which was organized in 1788. In the year of 1795 Richard gave his home place to Abraham Smith, and they moved to Alstead, N.H. also there was a time during this period that they lived in Springfield, Vermont.1805--1810 About 1810,they moved to Antwerp, Jefferson, New York. His wife Susan died Jan.23, 1813 at Antwerp, at age 57. Nineteen days later Richard died on Feb.11, 1813, also at Antwerp, N.Y. He was 63 years old. It is thought that Susan Dimond was probably the daughter of Ezekiel and Mirian [Fowler] Dimond of Concord, N.H. During the war of the revolution he served part of the time in Capt. Wilkins Co. of Col. Beedels Reg. May 19, 1776 he was in Canada at the surrender of the Cedars, and was one of 500 men who were taken prisoner. The British treated them in inhuman and barbarous manner. These prisoners were taken to an island in a lake, near two mountains. They were kept there for 8 days nearly naked, without shelter and with scant rations. They were finally released on a cartel agreed to between Gen. Arnold and Capt. Foster.
