Barbara, I truly wish I had been able to surprise you. I'd have felt as good about it as you would. However, I'm afraid that's not to be. Not only did I check all ten volumes of "Maine Families of 1790", but checked the 1790 Federal Census for Maine. There were no Williams or Richards listed. There is one Joseph listed, showing 1 male over 16, two males under 16, and 3 females. The location was Sandy River, Maine. That's the Farmington, Maine area. However, I suppose Joseph could have had Richard in, or after, 1810. You might try sending an e-mail query to Flossie@megalink.net - she is the contact person for the Sandy River Chapter of the Maine Genealogical Society. Perhaps she could be of some help to you. We can only hope. Cynthia At 11:59 AM 4/13/2012, you wrote: >Hi Cynthia, how nice of you to offer a look up, and wonder if you >could check your Maine families of 1790 for me.
