Page 332 T2. RICHARD 2 KIRBY, yeoman, of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, born, place and date unknown, but probably before 1638, and died in Dartmouth, Mass. before 4 Apr. 1720, when his will was probated. He married in Sandwich, Mass. 9 Oct 1665, Patience Gifford, who died after 20 May 1674, the daughter of William 1 Gifford of Sandwich, Mass. He married, secondly, in Dartmouth, Mass. 2 Dec. 1678, Abigail (maiden name unknown) Howland, who died before 20 Jan. 1707-8, the widow of Zoeth 2 Howland (Henry 1 ) and of undetermined parentage. “Richard Kirby, born probably before 1638, since he should have been of age in 1658, when he refused to take the oath of fidelity. The same year he was fined twenty shillings for refusing to assist marshal Barlow in the execution of the duties of his office. In 1660 he was fined five pounds for repetition of this offence. His name is found among the twenty-four inhabitants of Sandwich, who, in Oct., 1660, were each fined ten shillings for attending Quaker meetings. Together with his father he suffered ((page 235)) the distraint of fifteen cows to satisfy fines imposed amounting to 57 pounds 12 shillings. He was evidently of the sterner stuff of reformers, ahead of the time in which he lived and acted fully up to that line regardless of personal consequences. - G. A. Hinckley of Barnstable, Mass. Richard Kirby, Jr., was married, Oct. 9, 1665, to Patience, daughter of William Gifford of Sandwich, Mass. He afterward removed to Dartmouth, Mass. His wife Patience died some time after May 20, 1674, and he married (2) Dec. 2, 1678, Abigail, widow of Zoeth Howland, son of Henry Howland of Duxbury, who had been killed by the Indians at Pocasset, March 26, 1676, leaving nine children. There is no record of any child by this second marriage; yet, inasmuch as he mentions in his will “my granddaughter Remember Potter,” it may be that he had one child, a daughter, by his second wife, who married a Potter. His will is dated Jan. 30, 1707-8, and was probated April 4, 1720. It is assumed, therefore that he died in 1720. Since his wife Abigail is not mentioned in his will, it is probable that she died before 1708. [note: Richard Kirby Jr.'s second marriage to Abigail Howland, widow of Zoeth, is an interesting little genealogical irony because, just as we are descended from Richard Kirby, we also are descended separately from Zoeth Howland and Abigail Howland! They are the great great-great grandparents of Peace Howland, the mother of Hannah Kirby. Hannah is our connection to both the Kirby and the Howland lines.] Will of Richard Kirby, Jun. of Dartmouth, Mass.
