Richard More
c. 1614 - 1694-1696
Richard More was one of the four More siblings who were indentured to various Pilgrims, in this case William Brewster.
The Mores' mother Catherine was possibly adulterous; when her husband Samuel found out, he divorced her and sent the children away on the Mayflower without her consent.
Richard survived the first winter and married Christian Hunter in Plymouth in 1636. They had seven children. He was a mariner who eventually settled in Salem, dying there between 1694 and 1696.
