In pondering your query here, I note you are suggesting that Sarah GUMP married Mr. RICKER(T) at age 13. Is that right?

After pondering your search problem some more, I decided to find our more about SARAH (GUMP) RICHERT and her husband, JACOB. I have found them buried in Glen Cemeterry, "a large community cemetery in kSalem Township, Shelby County, Ohio, located along SR-47, just southwest of Port Jefferson. Laid out in 1874....earlier deaths recorded." Here is the information gleaned from the cemetery information contained in "Memorial Records of Shelby County, Ohio 1819-1975" by Barbara Adams and Gene Mozley. I should tell you that there are approximately 8 or 9 Gump families and several Richerts also buried in this cemetery, too, so "the apple doesn't seem to have fallen far from the tree", i.e., the Gump and Richert families stayed in the Shelby County area. RICHERT, Jacob, born German on 06/14/1847. Late residence Sidney, Ohioo. Date of death was 01/10/1933 at age 85 years. He is in Lot 91, Section F. RICHERT, Sarah, born in Salem Township, Shelby County, Ohio on 05/15/1853. Late residence Sidney, Ohio. Date of death 10/06/1937 at age 84 years. She is also buried in Lot 91, Section F. You should be able to find Sarah in the 1860 and 1870 censii for Shelby County to help locate her parents. I would suggest especially searching Salem Township where she reportedly was born. Have you obtained the death certificate of Sarah Gump Rickert? That m-a-y list one or both of the parents. Do you have any 'hints' whatsoever who her parents may have been, i.e., perhaps one of the names of her children may be one of her parents names. Perhaps the cemetery sexton's records have more info. I'd be happy to do another search of the record books I have if you can possibly supply additional info. I hope some of this info gives you a few leads to more records.
