Richard Waldron
Major Richard Waldron (or Richard Waldern, Richard Walderne; 1615–1689) dominated the society and economy of early colonial Dover, New Hampshire and had a substantial presence in greater New Hampshire and in neighbouring Massachusetts. He was the second president of the colonial New Hampshire Royal Council after it was first separated from Massachusetts.〔"Richard Waldron" in: "Brief Notices of Councilors", Collections of the New Hampshire Historical Society, Volume 8 By New Hampshire Historical Society, pp.337-338.〕
An "immensely able, forceful and ambitious"〔''Colonial New Hampshire - A History'', by Jere Daniell, p. 60〕 member of a well-off Puritan family, he left his English home and moved to what is now Dover, New Hampshire. He first came about 1635. He built mills on the Cochecho River, amassed local land holdings that endured in his family for over 170 years,〔(''Historical Memoranda Concerning Persons and Places in Old Dover, New Hampshire'' ) by Rev. Alonzo H. Quint, p.407 as found at Google Books〕〔''Cutts Genealogy'', pp 536-7, which quotes ''Historical Memoranda'' by Rev. A.H. Quint〕 controlled much of the local native trade, and was prominent in local politics and as deputy to the Massachusetts General Court for twenty five years from 1654. He was speaker several times. When the first president of the colonial New Hampshire council, John Cutt, died suddenly, council member Walderne became the acting president or governor until Edward Cranfield arrived from England. "By the 1670s the portion of Dover known as Cochecho () had become something like Waldron's personal fiefdom, and citizens in the other areas of settlement rarely challenged his social authority."〔
