SILVESTER, RICHARD -According to Banks (Planters 2:91), Richard Silvester
came to New England in 1630 on the Mary and John, the ship carrying West
Country passengers who founded Dorchester in the Bay Colony, but this has
not been confirmed. He settled briefly at Dorchester, and then went to
Weymouth. It was around this time that he married Naomi, for they had
their first child at Weymouth on 8 December 1633. He became a Bay Colony
freeman on 1 April 1634. According to Albert Henry Silvester, "Richard
Silvester of Weymouth, Mass., and Some of His Descendants," NEHGR 85:247,
357, 86:84, 120, 286, 87:84, 128:202, a good but insufficiently
documented family history, he was fined in 1638 for selling strong water,
and he was fined again in 1639 for speaking against a law about hogs and
against a particular magistrate. On 13 March 1638/39 he was
disenfranchised and fined E2 for association with John Smyth in
attempting to organize a new church. Deane (History of Scituate, p.
347-48) states that Shurtleff gained notoriety for espousing liberal
religious sentiments. While at Weymouth, Shurtleff's young son, about
six years old, accidentally shot and killed himself with a pistol.
In 1650 Silvester sold his property in Weymouth and moved to Marshfield
in Plymouth Colony. He was proposed as a Plymouth freeman in 1651 (PCR
2:167), but he was not on the 1658 list of freemen. In 1654 he became a
surveyor of the highways for Marshfield (PCR 3:50), and in 1655 he became
a constable of Marshfield (PCR 3:78). On 5 March 1661/62 his daughter
Dinah was charged with falsely accusing the wife of William Holmes of
being a witch, and on 9 May 1661 Dinah was sentenced to be publicly
whipped or pay 5 pounds to William Holmes. Her recorded apology said in
part, "I doe freely acknowlidg I have wronged my naighbour, and have
sined against God in soe doeing; though I had entertained hard thoughts
against the woman, for it had bine my dewty to declare my grounds, if I
had any, unto some majestrate in a way of God, and not to have devoulged
my thoughts to others, to the womans defamation" (PCR 3:205-07, 211). In
1667 Dinah was fined 10 pounds for fornication (PCR 4:162). Richard
Silvester's will was dated 16 June 1663, proved 2 October 1663, and he
named his sons John, Joseph, Israel, Richard, and Benjamin, and his
daughters Lydia, Dinah, Elizabeth, Naomi, Hester, and Charity (MD
15:60). He left his wife Naomi the residue of his estate, after debts
and other bequests were paid, but only 15 pounds if she remarried.
However, on 5 October 1663 the court noted that the wording of the will
in fact left her an inconsiderable part of his estate, and, as appeared
by the testimony of some of her neighbors, she was a frugal and laborious
woman who had contributed significantly to the acquisition of Richard's
estate. Therefore the court determined to take some (unspecified)
prudent course to improve the situation (PCR 4:46). Naomi died before 26
November 1668, when her inventory was taken (MD 17-.110). Though Naomi
has been called a Torrey, there is no evidence for this or any other
surname for her. What appears to be a mistake in the records (Weymouth
Town Records 1.196) gives Richard Silvester's wife's first name as
"Emline" on 15 September 1651 (see Silvester article, above, p. 266-68);
however, he had named a child Naomi before this date, and he certainly
had a wife Naomi after this date.
