Friday, 7 Apr 1916--A. B. RICHMOND FOR SHERIFF--(Kathy's notes:  edited for genealogical information only)--Mr. Richmond, whose grandparents on both sides were among the earliest settlers of Chariton township, was born and reared in that township, and with the exception of ten years, spent in the grocery and hotel business in Moberly, has resided in his home township, and is now living on a farm adjoining the one on which he was born.  He comes from among the county's best people, his mother being a Dawkins, a cousin of the late Moss Dawkins of this place.  He is a brother of the Rev. Edgar M. Richmond of Moberly, known and recognized as one of Missouri's ablest men. This would be Aubert Bruce Richmond b. Mar 24, 1867 in Randolph Co., MO. His parents were James M. Richmond and (1834-1883) Elizabeth Rose Dawkins (1837-1871). His Dawkins grandparents were George Edward Dawkins (1807-1840) and Mary Clark Rose (1810-1891). These two were married in 1836 in Randolph Co., MO. This line is kin to me since I am descended from George's brother, William Dawkins. I remember my grandfather's notes speaking of a "Moss Dawkins" but I think this is a nickname since no Moss appears in my files. Carole
