Richard More was born in Corvedale,Shropshire,England,and was baptised at St James parish church in Shipton,Shropshire,on 13 November 1614. Richard and his three siblings were at the centre of a mystery in early-17th-century England that caused early genealogists to wonder why the More children's father,believed to be Samuel More,would send his very young children away to the New World on the Mayflower in the care of others. It was in 1959 that the mystery was explained. Jasper More,a descendant of Samuel More,prompted by his genealogist friend,Sir Anthony Wagner,searched and found in his attic a 1622 document that detailed the legal disputes between Katherine More and Samuel More and what actually happened to the More children. It is clear from these events that Samuel did not believe the children to be his offspring. To rid himself of the children,he arranged for them to be sent to the Colony of Virginia. Due to bad weather,the Mayflower finally anchored in Cape Cod Harbor in November 1620,where one of the More children died soon after;another died in early December and yet another died later in the first winter. Only Richard survived,and even thrived,in the perilous environment of early colonial America,going on to lead a very full life.
