Solomon Richardson was born in 'Salem Village,' afterwards incorporated as a part of the town of Middleton. He was a yeoman. His will is dated 2 May 1761; proved 6 July 1761; recorded Essex Probate Records, xxxviii, 129. This will gives to wife Abigail, 'Dinah her maid,' in the inventory valued at 40 pounds; 'also all my household furniture, and other things which she brought with her.' It gives to son David the testator's house and barn, and about forty acres of land and meadow by Cromwell's brook and Hutchinson's meadow; also to be executor of the will, and 'to sell my negro man Frank,' in the inventory appraised at 60 pounds, to pay debts, etc. To sons John Richardson and Jonathan Richardson, daughter Elizabeth Sawyer, and daughter Sarah Richardson, legacies are to be paid by son David. Sons Amos, Stephen, and Solomon, are to have the other land after the decease of the widow. The testator's grandchildren to have their legacy 'in five years after their grandmother Richardson's decease.'

The real estate, as shown by the inventory, presented 14 September 1761, consisted of the homestead, containing about three hundred acres of land, with the buildings thereon; salt marsh at Lynn, about three acres; about twelve acres of meadow in Middleton, and about seven acres of woodland in Andover.
