Holland, JG; The History of Western Mass :https://www.google.com/books/edition/History_of_Western_Massachusetts/zTszAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1 We would expect to see Londonderry or Nutfield, Rockingham, MA in this book but it does not appear. [ My comment: It is interesting that JG Holland neglects to mention Nutfield, Londonderry, New Hampshire in his book. Parker in his History of Nutfield (Londonderry) in his book explains that the Worcester Ulster Scots did not stay long because they were forced to rent their farmlands versus owning their own which was the big draw to go to Londonderry, NH. It is possible that Robert Riddle stayed at Worcester for a while (before migrating to Nutfield aka Londonderry, NH.) ]
