I am a descendant of John Richey through both Dr. John Richey, who married Sichy Collings, daughter of William Elston Collings, founder of the Pigeon Roost settlement, and Dr. John¹s brother, Joseph Richey who married Lydia Wells. By the way, Dr. John was a botanist who come to Indiana to study the plant life, not a medical doctor. My great grandmother was Clarisa Richey and great grandfather, Gorge Phegley, was the son of Mary Richey and Richard Phegley. When I was in high school in 1950, my great uncle, Thomas Phegley, was still living and as a young man knew Sichy. She came over to their house often and told how they had escaped the Pigeon Roost massacre. Uncle Tom told it to me and I wrote it down and sometime back put it in our Genealogy Newsletter. Not an eye witness account but as close as I was going to get by then.
