 Notes for Richard Nason:
In 1639 Richard Nason was living at Stove Pipe Landing. In 1645 he and his wife had a dispute with her father, Richard Baker, who was tried in New Hampshire and fined 5 shillings "for beating Richard Nason that he was black and blue and for throwing a fire shovel at his wife." In 1649 Nason served as a juryman. In 1653 he was an Ensign, later Selectman, and held other town offices in Kittery. In 1655 he was charged at York with not attending church meetings and in 1659 was fined œ5 and disenfranchised for entertaining Quakers. In 1665 he was accused of blasphemy. Philip Chesley of Oyster River was witness against him. The General Court did "not judge him so guilty of that fact as that by our lawe he ought to die," but he had to post a œ40 bond for good behavior. The inhabitants of Kittery elected him Deputy to the General Court the following year, but the court refused to seat him and called the people of Kittery to account for electing him. He owned 200 acres, and in his old age lived with his son Benjamin in York County, Maine.

His will is dated 14 July 1694, proved 22 December 1696 at Kittery, and probated 15 March 1697. It names his own children, his wife Abigail, Abigail's children by a previous marriage, Nicholas Follett and Sarah Meader, and Abigail's granddaughter by her previous marriage, Sarah, daughter of Mary Witham.
