Nancy, your Frederick (from Hartford CT) can be found on pages 45 and 60 of "A GENEALOGICAL REGISTER OF THE DESCENDANTS OF Several Ancient Puritans. VOLUME III."
BY REV. ABNER MORSE an excerpt of which follows. His father was Simeon who married Persis Savage Doud. His grandfather was Simeon who married Anna Wright. Although plagued with errors, Abner Morse's book is the "bible" for Richards research. We even refer to our lines by the chapter in that book. I am a chapter V Richards. Hope this helps, and email me direct If I can be of further service.

CHAPT. II.
THOMAS RICHARDS.
Of this Puritan almost nothing can be gathered from records but his name. His mission seems to have been to snatch his family from oppression and set them down where the holiest influences would conspire to mould them, and their descendants, for usefulness in time and blessedness in eternity; and happy has it been for them and the world that he performed it. That he was of the same stock as other cotemporary immigrants of the name is not susceptible of proof from our records; but circumstances, often as conclusive as documentary evidence, indicate that he was, and the nephew of Thomas Richards, senior, and the cousin or brother of Nathaniel, of Hartford, of William and John, of Plymouth, and of Edward, of Dedham. Of the exact time of his birth, arrival, and death, there is uncertainty. From the ages of his children, and the "advanced age" of his widow, in 1671, he is supposed to have been born about 1600-5. His name does not occur on any record of Massachusetts or Plymouth. This, considering the state of the records, makes it certain that he did not first settle at Cambridge, but might have tarried some years at Weymouth, and have afterwards joined Mr. Hooker, some of whose flock first settled at Weymouth, and subsequently at Cambridge.(*) In favor of this, there existed a tradition, which one of his descendants, born a century ago, deemed worthy of record: and if we could prove him one of the band who came out with Mr. Newman in 1635, it would be a high recommendation, and bring him from that part of the kingdom from whence came Thomas, senior. But the excellence of his character is endorsed by the sentiments he embraced, the society he loved, the sacrifices for truth and conscience he made, and the fraternization he received; while the enterprise, energy, and piety of his sons assure us of a father of stamina and worth.
