On 14 Apr 1604 Richard first married Phebe Chrisfeilde in Biddenden, Kent.16 Phebe died in Biddenden, Kent in Aug 1612. Buried on 10 Aug 1612 in Biddenden, Kent.16

On 4 May 1613 Richard second married Margery Ashenden in Biddenden, Kent.20

Margery may have been Margery (Ashenden) Lea, widow of Thomas Lea.16

On 15 Dec 1637 Richard third married Eglin Hatherly (765) , daughter of Robert Hatherly (300) (ca 1552-) & Ellinor, in Scituate, MA.16 Born ca 1586 in Winkleigh, Devon. Eglin was baptized in Winkleigh, Devon, on 8 Jun 1586.16 Eglin died in 1666.42

Eglin, or Elgin, or Eylin, Hatherly. She first married a Mr. Downe, second Jeffrey Hanford, and third Richard Sillis as his third wife.

Eglin, after the death of Edward, came to Scituate to join her brother, Timothy Hatherley, and her eldest daughter Lettice, who had come on an earlier date, and had been married to Edward Foster two days before her mother sailed from England. Elgin, aged 46, sailed on 10 Apr 1635 in the ship Planter, arriving in Boston 7 Jun 1635 with her two youngest daughters, Margaret Hanford, aged 16, and Elizabeth Hanford, aged 14. Also in this ship came Rodolphus Elms, Sarah Pitney and family, and Thomas Savage.42

(Deane53 was under the impression that Elgin Hatherly was the mother of Edward Foster (1590-1664), but that would not have been possible because of their close ages. She was, however, his mother-in-law as he married her daughter Lettice.)
