Ralph, Richard and William Sprague, together with John Endicott and others set sail from Weymouth on 20th June 1628 on board the ship Abagail. There is a commemorative plaque in Weymouth harbour to this affect which greets passengers as they disembark form ferries that land there. The Abigail arrived at Salem New England on 6th September 1628. [Other references state they sailed on the Lyon's Whelp rather than the Abigail - the ships sailed together.

Richard is said to have married Mary Sharpe, daughter of Nicholas Sharpe and Agnes Tirrell in England. His Will confirms that he was married to a Mary but they had no children. He took the freeman’s oath with his brother in 1631 and he and his wife Mary are also listed as members of the first Church in Charlestown in October 1632.

His Will is dated 15 Sep 1668 and apart from leaving property to his wife Mary gave to Harvard College 400 pounds, and thirty-one ewes and thirty lambs; to his brother William of Hingham his sword; to his nephew Richard, son of Ralph, his wharf and warehouse with other property. His estate was valued at 2357 pounds, 16 shillings, 8 pence. He died on 25th November 1668 . Mary died before16th June 1674 when her Will was probated.

Note: The sword that belonged to Richard was given to William's son, Anthony, in William's will, 1675, and noted that it had been his brother Richard's.
