     Richard Dummer was born circa 1598 in Bishopstoke, Hampshire, owing to the loss of the early Bishopstoke parish-register, this cannot be verified. In the list of passengers by the "Bevis," his age is given as 40 in 1638. The only record I find of him in England is that in 1631, previous to his first going to New England, he settled a rent-charge of 40 shillings per annum, out of his lands in Bishopstoke, to the use of the poor of that parish forever. It was a generous thing to do as he was taking leave of his old neighbors, and speaks well for his character. That he paid a subsequent visit to England is proved by the fact that in 1650-1 he proved, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, the will of Thomas Nelson, husband of his niece Joane.^1,2,3 He was the son of Thomas Pyldrym (alias) Dummer and Joane (Unknown).^1,4 Richard Dummer married firstly Jane Mason, daughter of Rev.
