After marriage Thomas and Elizabeth lived about five years in Maiden, or till 1717, when Capt. Samuel Green, already mentioned as her father, and several other Maiden people removed to Leicester, then a new town—incorporated Feb. 15, 1713—of which Capt. Green was one of the principal founders. That part of Leicester wliere Capt. Green and his relatives lived is called Greenville, in honor of him. It is in the south part of Leicester, about a mile north of South Leicester railroad depot. They erected there a sawmill and a grist-mill. Here was Thomas Richardson's home the remainder of his life. He lived near his father-in-law, near where the Baptist meeting-house now is, in what has since become the Baptist parsonage, which, with the meeting-house, stands on a lot of land given to the Baptist Society by Dr. Thomas Green, son of Capt. Samuel Green, who gathered the Baptist Society in 1736, and was its first minister. Thomas Richardson, in 1729, was assessed for three hundred acres of land in Leicester. I have found no record of his death.

From the Descendants of Thomas Green(e):215
His father having become one of the proprietors of the new township of Leicester, and the chief promoter of its settlement, Thomas Green went thither with his father about the year 1717. His father left him there to look after some cattle at pasture, in the summer season, expecting soon to return. From some cause not now known, the father was detained several weeks. In the mean time, as tradition reports, the son was attacked with a fever, and brought very low. He lived in a kind of cave made by a rock, near a stream of water, which flows through that part of the town now called Greenville. Here he sustained himself from the milk of a cow, whose calf he had fastened to a tree near by, that he might be sure of frequent visits from her during the day. Suffering from a sore upon one of his limbs as a sequel to the fever, he was reduced to a state of great weakness; yet was compelled to crawl from his cave to the brook to get water: and it is said, made use of different roots which fell in his way as medicine. While in this forlorn condition, he was discovered by two men, who had come up from Maiden with horses to look after their cattle. It is stated that the courage of young Thomas sunk for the first time, when these two neighbors of his father's refused to take him home with them. He wept at their unkindness. They, however, informed his father of the sad state of his son, and Capt. Samuel Green lost no time in bringing Thomas home to Malden on horseback, weak and emaciated; the journey occupying four days.
Thomas acquired a knowledge of medicine and surgery from two surgeons of the English Buccaneers who boarded with his father for many years; they having come in, and surrendered themselves under an offer of pardon from the English government to such as should surrender themselves within a specified time. These surgeons instructed Thomas in what they knew of those sciences, and gave him a few medical books. With this preparation, added to a vigorous intellect, and uncommon practical wisdom, he was enabled to enter upon and pursue the practice of medicine with great success. His practice extended to various parts of the Province, and even to Rhode Island and Connecticut.
He was not more eminent as a physician than as a divine. Having embraced the sentiments of the Baptists, he organized a church and society of that denomination in South Leicester, and was ordained their pastor in 1736. He supplied their pulpit many years; he disseminated his principles through a wide circle, and his church became large and flourishing. He gave a house and a farm for a parsonage, a lot of land for the meeting-house, and for a burial ground. He and his wife were buried in the lot thus given; but their remains and those of his father Capt. Samuel Green have recently [recent for 1858] been removed by their descendant, Dr. John Green, to the Rural Cemetery in Worcester. The inscription on his gravestone was—
“Erected in Memory of Doct. Thomas Green. He was pastor of the Baptist Church in Leicester, and a noted physician. He departed this life Aug. 19, 1773, ætatis 74.
The just behold with sweet delight
The blessed Three-in-One;
And strong affections fix their sight
On God's incarnate Son.”
