"Richard Kirby of Sandwich, Mass. first appears upon the records of New England in 1636 as an inhabitant
of Lynn, Mass. In 1637, together with William Wood and others of Lynn, he removed to Cape Cod, and began
the settlement of the town of Sandwich...The name of his wife is unknown. Her first name was probably Jane.
There is a Sandwich record that Jane Kirby had twin children, Increase and Abigail, born February 1650, who
died soon after, and that the mother was buried, together with her son Richard, March 23, 1650...
Richard Kirby, Sr., died in Dartmouth, Mass., after May 1686 and before July 21, 1688..."

"Richard Kirby of Sandwich, Mass., was first at Lynn, Mass. Removed in 1637 to Sandwich, Mass.
He early espoused the cause of the "Quakers," and 1658-60 suffered severely in fines for this
offense. Some time after 1660, he removed to Dartmouth, Mass., where he died (intestate) before
July 21, 1688. His wife's name was Jane, by whom he had two sons: Richard and Recompence."

before July, 1688...his daughter Rumahah, who married John Smith..."
