Came on the ship "Defense", settled in Cambridge, Mass, where he purchased a large tract of land on the Charles River, a portion of which is now occupied by the Harvard College.
Richard Park was a proprietor in Cambridge, Mass in 1636, and of Cambridge Farms (Lexington) in 1642. His house was near the commons in Cambridge. In a division of lands in 1647, he had eleven acres in Cambridge Village, bounded west on Mr. Edward Jackson's land, and the highway to Dedham was laid out through it in 1648. The very ancient dwelling house which was pulled down about 1800 was supposed to have been built by him. It stood within a few feet of the spot now occupied by the Eliot church. Previous to 1652, he owned a large tract of land in the NW part of the village bounded west by the Fuller Farm, North by Charles River, East by the Drummer Farm and South and East by the Mahew farm. It contained 600 acres which he probably bought of Pastor Shepard or his heirs. (By his will dated Dec. 5, 1665, witnessed by Elder Wiswall and Hugh Mason, he bequeathed to his only son Thomas all his houses and lands, after the death of his wife Sarah. by his inventory dated 19,8,1665, taken by John Sherman and John Spring, the dwelling house, barn, out houses and 600 acres of land adjoining, whereof 20 acres is broken up, is appraised at 660 pounds and 29 acres elsewhere at 100 pounds. The whole amount of the inventory was 972 pounds.) In 1657 he was one of a committee, with Edward Jackson, John Jackson and Samuel Hyde, to lay out and settle highways in the village. During the contest between the village and Cambridge, to be set off, he sent a petition to the Court in 1661 praying to retain his connection with the Cambridge Church. He died 1665 leaving widow Sarah, son Thomas and two daughters. One of the daughters married Francis Whbittemore of Cambridge.
All his property except 600 acres and buildings was equally divided between the two daughters.
