Richard Langer

Richard Langer came to Hingham, MA in 1636 and died there on 25 January 1660/1. We do not have his wife's name and assume that he was a widower when he came to America.

In his will, dated 20 February 1659 and probated 2 May 1661, Richard left all his land in Hingham to his daughter Margaret's eldest son, Joshua Lincoln. He refers to his daughters, Dinah and Elizabeth, who should receive four shillings each from his daughter, Margaret, wife of Thomas Lincoln.

Richard Langer and his wife had at least three children:

  • Dinah.
  • Elizabeth.
  • Margaret, m. Thomas Lincoln.
