However, it is more likely that he was born in the nearby village of Much Woolton in the parish of Childwall. It is stated that Richard removed to Much Woolton after his mar in 1624 in THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THE REVEREND MAN OF GOD, MR. RICHARD MATHER (Cambridge, MA, 1670; repr, Dorchester, MA, 1850), 50 (FHL #1425681 item 2). This work was published with the sanction of Increase Mather, Timothy's brother, although professedly not written by him. Furthermore, Timothy's nephew, Rev.
