Richard Saltonstall (1703-1756), member of a prominent New England family and son of Colonel Richard Saltonstall (Harvard A.B. 1695), was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts on June 14, 1703. When his father died in 1714, he was placed in the care of an uncle, Rowland Cotton, who would later send him to Harvard College to study. Saltonstall graduated from the College in the class of 1722, and he received an A.M. in 1725. He was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1722, the same year he received his A.B., and is believed to be the youngest man ever commissioned into that role in the Province of Massachusetts Bay. He was appointed Colonel of the militia in 1726 and served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1728, 1729, 1735, 1736, 1738 and from 1743 to 1746.
