buried near his home on left side of Dock Lane.
Came to Plymouth Mass about 1635. His ancestry traces back to
Sir John BOURNE, Secy of State to Queen Mary (1553-1558). This
is known because of the 'chervon party per pale' in the BOURNE Coat of Arms.
Richard, aged 24, left England, coming by way of St. Kitts & Barbados,
arriving in America Jan 1, 1634/5. He stayed with his brother Henry in
Scituate Mass. Richard was one of the earliest settlers of Shawmee, Mass,
later incorporated in 1637 as Sandwich, Mass. (Part of Sandwich became
Bourne, Mass. in 1884)
Richard BOURNE had many interests but his work with the Indians is
probably the most outstanding. The continued peace with the Indians was
due more to his efforts than to the military forces. He learned the Indian
language and began his work about 1658.
He was ordained pastor of the Indian Church at Mashpee in 1670. Richard
purchased at his own expense 16 square miles as a permanent home for
the Mashpee Indians. He translated the Lords Prayer into the Indian
language - copies are available at the Aptucxet Trading Post near
Bourne. In 1919 Indians were still living on the land given them
by Richard.
