Hi List, My husband's family in Wayne Co. is Townsend and Sarah Mcneely Richards, who came to Wayne Co in about 1838-39. I believe I have accounted for all their children. However, I have a mystery that I need some help unraveling. Three of Townsend's sons went to Colorado. David M., and James W. born 1836 and 1839, respectively, were what we in Colorado call '59er, having come for the gold rush. Their half-brother John joined them in about 1879. Here is the mystery. David M. Richards is buried in Riverside Cemetery in Denver. His wife, Samantha Grice, died January 20, 1879 and is buried there too. Next to her is a grave marker with M. Richards, Died Jan 21, 1879 at age 40. There is no other information. I can't figure out who this is. I know your site is posting newspaper items, but I don't think you have that far back posted. I know there was an obit for Samantha. Does anyone have access to the Wayne Co newspaper about that time that might have an item on the death of this M. Richards in Colorado? So wierd that he/she is a Richards and died one day after Samantha. Its driving me crazy. Just a shot in the dark. Thanks for any help. Laurel in Colorado
