Richard Waters is first mentioned in the records of Salem, anno 1636, where he has ten acres granted him. He was a gunsmith, and married Joyce (or Rejoice), daughter of William Plaise, likewise a gunsmith, of whom the following mention is made in the town records:
11 4th-5 mo-1637 William Plaise requested a tenne acre lott & it is granted 2ld-6 mo-1637-it is ordered yt mr Connants house, around &- half-acre of corn standing on the same joining next unto mr Juo. fisk shall be bought by the Towne for ould mr William Plase &- the Towne to mak paymen' thereof."

(Mem. -This house of Mr. Roger Conant, leader or governor of the 1, old Planters," as they were called, who had already made a settlement here before the comin- of Endicott and Winthrop, stood on the land now occupied by the late residence of the Hon. Jacob S. Rogers, deceased, opposite Derby square and the town hall.)

,,25-10-1637.-the marsh and meadow Lands that have formerly layed in comon to this towne shall now be appropriated to the Inhabitants of Salem, proportioned out unto them accordin- to the heads of their families."
In a list probably made out for this appointment, the name of Willm. Plais occurs, with the fio,,ure 2 set against it, showing, doubtless, the number of his family (himself and wife.)

Notes:

"We are descended from the Mannings thro Phebe Waters,whose mother [grandmother] was Phoebe Manning, daughter of George Manning of Downe, Kent.We have an ancestor that was the royal stabdard bearer for Richard the Lionhart :). I am currently working on the West side and our possible connection to the De la Warr Wests,which could make us descendants of Mary Boelyn. I hope to contact the current West that is still a Lord, and see if he will submit DNA to West dna project, would help for any direct descendants of the 1st govenor of Virginia, Thomas West, earl de la warr"
