He was commissioned as lieutenant, July 25, 1710; as colonel, April 21, 1742, by which title he was afterwards known; also as Justice of the Peace in 1711 and 1729.
He had quite a large number of slaves, and, long before the revolution, liberated and and settled them in some woodlands in Dartmouth, MA. (Dartmouth Woods). There is a ridge of land in that town which was settled almost wholly by African Americans who were the descendants of the emancipated slaves of Colonel Richmond.
