James and Sarah lived in Woburn some years, and three of their children were born there. They removed to Leominster about 1735; it was the north-west part of Lancaster till its incorporation in 1740. They lived in the north part of Leominster, at the intersection of the Harvard and Lunenburg roads, a little beyond where the old Methodist Church has since stood. It has been known as the Policy Place.
    James Richardson, then of Woburn, yeoman, and wife Sarah sold to James Dolbear, brazier, of Boston, one original right of a soldier who served in the Narraganset war [1675], which the grantor bought of Shubael Gorham, Esq., of Barnstable. This deed was acknowledged by James and Sarah Richardson, Oct. 29, 1735. [York Deeds, xxxiv. 93.]
    In Leominster he commenced a farm on a piece of new land, and cleared it up himself. He was surveyor of highways, 1745.
