Their daughter Ann (Nancy) was born in VIrginia in 1795 . Lewis was the son of Philemon who died in Woodford Co in 1794. What is curious to me is Ann(Nancy ) married my great+ grandfather, Alexander McCune Henry. His father was William Henry. I know not of his mother. I've often wondered if she was a McCune. Do you have any info on McCunes you would like to share ?

I bet that your hunch is right. Before I forget, I have a copy of the P. RICHARDS will. Its a zerox from a research page in the library. Only RICHARDS I could find so far in VA. Do you need this? Will gladly share what I have on the MCCUNES although its precious little. I have alot about the family after they moved to Sangamon Co. IL but that wouldn't help you. Just so you know where I'm at: Andrew Richards b. TN C1780-1795 Married a Rosannah MCCUNE b. 1796 in Nicholas Co. KY. My maiden name is RICHARDS and I am their direct decendent. the following is about her {Rosie MCCUNE} older brother, from Early Settlers of Sangamon Co IL 1876, Powers.: MCCUNE Gavin, was born July 7, 1788, in Pennsylvannia, and was taken by his parents in 1796 to Nicholas Co. Ky. He was there married to Hannah ARDRY, a native of that county. They had six children in KY, and moved to Sangamon Co., ILL, arriving in the fall of 1832 in what is now Cooper Township. Of their six children-......" See not much until Gavin and his wife and A. Richards and his wife (Rosie MCCUNE) arrived in IL. In the census for 1810 and 1820 there are 5 MCCUNES listed in Nicholas Co. KY. I suspect that Basil might be Gavin and Rosie's father. Not sure. If he is, he may have immigrated to US. The census states that someone in the household is a foreigner. However, please contact the following person. I meet Linda through RootWeb, she is a MCCUNE decendent and has alot more info than I do. Probably the three of us are all related somehow. There is also a group of 8 brothers(living) who are putting all MCCUNE data together. Ask Linda about that too. Reach Linda at-- Ldkp@gdi.net Hope she can help you and please write back if we ever connect our lines. Meanwhile, would you keep a lookout for the name Andrew Richards in your research? Best possible choose for his father is Williams Richards. He's the only Richards left in Nich. Co. KY after my ancestors left. Good luck, Sue RICHARDS Williams
