- Online sources indicate that Jerusha’s family was of Puritan Stock, and they moved from Boston to New Haven Colony, then to Elizabethtown, New Jersey.
(I) Richard Man, of Scituate, Massachusetts, was one of the first to bear the name in America. He was not a "Mayflower" passenger, nor a soldier in the Rehoboth battle with Indians, as stated by the Rev. Samuel Deane in his "History of Scituate." The first appearance of his name on record is found in Scituate, Massachusetts, as having with thirty-one others taken the "oath of fidelity," January 15, 1644. His coming to America may be placed a few years previous to this date.
He was a farmer, and one of the original proprietors of Scituate. His farm lay along the sea, while north of him was "Musquascut Pond," which was later to claim his life. In an attempt to cross this pond on the "iyce" in February, 1655, he was drowned. The verdict of the jury that investigated his death was: "Wee find that by coming over the pond from his own house towards the farmes, that he brake through the iyce and was in soe deep that hee could not git out and by reason of the cold of the weather and water made him unable to healp himselfe, neither could any other present aford him any healp, that could healp him out, though they used their best endeavors for the space of about an hour, as is reported to us by the witnesses that saw him in which time he died. This wee find to bee the cause of his death as wee all judge." (P. C. R., vol. iii, pp. 92-93. [perhaps Plymouth Colonial Reports?) He married, in England, Rebecca ————, who survived him and became the wife of John Cowen, the last of March, 1656.

1. Nathaniel, September 23, 1646, died July 20, 1688.
