Ca 1649 Richard first married Rose Stoughton, daughter of Anthony Stoughton & Agnes [Stoughton].168 Born in Nov 1629.168 Rose died ca 1676.168

From William A. Otis’s Memoir of the Otis Family:168
    Both from collateral evidence and tradition, we can come to no other conclusion but that Richard Otis was thrice married. The fact that the name Rose is so often found among his descendants (no slight evidence when we remember the tenacity of the olden custom of perpetuating names) in connection with the following data, that his first wife was Rose, born in Nov., 1629, daughter of Anthony and Agnes Stoughton. According to a Ms. in the British Museum (History of the Stoughton family), written by this Rose Stoughton’s brother, Sir Nicholas Stoughton, their father, Sir Anthony Stoughton, was a ‘Puritan and very strict liver,’ who was an ensign in the Parliamentary army, and died Dec. 14, 1644. Her father, approaching his end, might well have desired to send his daughter Rose (then fourteen years old) over to New England, out of the perils of the Civil War raging in England at that time. Such an opportunity was evidently offered by a certain wealthy kinsman, Israel Stoughton, a merchant going over ‘about merchandize’ in 1643, so that she was sent by him, and a few years after, apparently about 1649, married Richard Otis. The Ms. Ms. in the British Museum, above referred to, speaks of Rose, ‘sent by her father to New England with Capt. Stoughton in 1643, ‘ as ‘now living htere, the wie of --- Otis, with several children.’ From the fact that her death was not mentioned in this M. when the last entry was made in 1672, it is inferred that she did not duntil about 1676, which would ahve made her forty-seven years old at the time of her decease.
    The persistence with which families at this period clung to family names is here well illustrated, her son Nicholas being named after Sir Nicholas, the author of the Ms. above named; while her grandson, Nicholas Tuttle (son of Judith) named a son Stoughton Tuttle; thus retaining the Stoughton name in remembrance for three generationsw after thte famliy had any directd connection with it.

Richard second married Susanna [Heard].

From William A. Otis’s Memoir of the Otis Family:168
    From the following it is clear that Richard’s second wife was Susanna Heard, the widow of James Heard :--‘Nov. 5, 1677 Richard Otis, husband of Susanna, formerly widow of James, son of John Heard of Piscataqua, and James Chadburne undertook to administer the estte of the said James Heard, who died intestate.’ This was done in the Co. Court of York, Me., but is found at the Exeter Probate Office. The last notice of James as living is 1668, and he probably died about 1675. He left one son, John, born about 1667; Richard Otis being appointed his guardian. Apparently there were no children from the marriage of Richard Otis to Suzanna.

Richard third married Grizel Warren. Born on 6 Mar 1662.168

From William A. Otis’s Memoir of the Otis Family:168
    Richard’s third wife was Grizel Warren. According to the Canadian Records she was born Mr. 6, 1662. this would absolutely agree with the information furnished by Mrs. Bean, mentione in the N.H. Cols, who was the daughter of the captured Christine Otis. Her memory was retentive, and she was intelligent to the last of her long life, dying at one hundred years of age, lacking ten days, on Feb. 6, 1826. She had a peculiarly happy faculty of relating her family history, and this, together with the fact that Col. Bean had the family records in his possession, enabled him to throw much light upon this subject, confirming historic and doubtful records, and furhishing additional facts to the sotry of other days. But for the information from this family, this narrative could not have been written in its present connected form. Mrs. Bean said that her grandfather (Richard Otis) Married her grandmother as his third wife when he was a little over sixty years of gae, she being about twenty-four. If she was born in 1662, this would make the date of marriage 1686, which would seem to be about correct, from the fact that thier daughter Hannah was tow years of age at the time of the massacre in 1689. This also makes the date of birth of Richard 1626; while Richard, son of John of Hingham, was born Feb. 27, 1616, as wis found in the records of Glastonbury, England, and he consequently would ahve been seventy years of age in 1686, and seventy-three years of age at tie time of the massacre in 1689.
