Richard Aldrich inherited the family homestead in the Goshen district of Bradford. According to the town history, "His advantages in youth for school education were very limited, but the lessons of industry, frugality, kindness to the suffering, and of heroic patriotism in which he was thoroughly drilled, had much to do in forming the character for which he was distinguished in after life." He was active in local affairs, holding several town offices. He served after 1807 as Captain of the Second Company of the First Regiment of the State Militia. In 1832 he donated land adjacent to his residence for construction of what is now known as the Old Goshen Church.
According to the history of Bradford, Richard and Anna Aldrich "were industrious, hard-working people, and it is believed that the destitute and hungry never applied to them for relief in vain. They both became hopefully pious in the maturity of their powers, and united with what was then styled the Christian church, and so remained during their subsequent lives."
Father of Almira (Aldrich) Haseltine, Lydia (Aldrich) (Rogers) Bolton, Sally Aldrich, William Aldrich, Richard R. Aldrich, Edwin R. Aldrich, Eliza (Aldrich) Brown, Smith Aldrich, John D. Aldrich, and Levi M. Aldrich.
