He married Isabella St George in whose right he held a moiety of the manor of Bothumsel (Bothamstall), Notts. (They both may have been related to Margaret de Buslingthorpe at Bothamstall d1369 daughter of Richard de Buslingthorpe)
Richard had free warren in Staynton and Wragby, as well as Buslingthorpe. He also held the manors of Ludborough, near Louth, and Wellingore, near Temple-Bruern.
