Hello Dick, Craig and All: We came across an NEHGS Oct 1964, Vol 118 article, p323, "Genealogies in Preparation," excerpt follows: "Rich. --- Richard, born probably in Dover Neck, NH in 1632, died at sea (lived in Eastham, Mass.) in 1692, by Frederick S. Rich, 11 South Lake Street, Litchfield, Conn. 06759" Does anyone in RFA know of a Rich genealogy written by Frederick S. Rich? Thanks, Have a nice weekend! /fj Frank Rich Johnson (603) 898-5237 frichj@aol.com

Linda ( and list): The only information I can add to yours is that Thatcher Rich's parents were Captain Thatcher Rich and Hannah Atwood. Thatcher and Phebe had 10 children -- all of whom are listed in the NEHGS article by Evelyn Rich, "Richard Rich of Eastham on Cape Cod and some of his Descendants."

Janice Farnsworth was kind enough to forward this url for the Wellfleet Cemetery on Cape Cod to the Massachusetts list. There are several RICH graves listed. http://www.capecod.net/~rcarlson/wellfleet.html Jane Devlin Lake Orion, MI janedevlin@ameritech.net

Hello all: I wonder if anyone, can help me find the parents of William Rich Sr. He lived in Virginia,(West Virginia), North Carolina but most of his adult life in Tennessee. My wife, Jewel O. (Clement) Richard is descended from William Rich Sr., who, according to Census data, was born in Virginia about 1780. During the War of 1812 he served in Capt. William McCowan's Company of the 4th Regiment Virginia Militia commanded by Colonel George Houston. He served from March 30, 1814 and was honorably discharged August 28, 1814. Some idea of the area where he lived may be gleaned from where he was mustered in and discharged. He stated in his land bounty application, that he was mustered in at the "falls of the Kanaway River in the State of Virginia." I believe that the Kanawha River was intended. There is a town called Kanawha Falls located in Fayette County West Virginia (previously Virginia). . At the time of the 1830 census, William Sr. was living in Roane County, Tennessee with his wife and 5 of their children. Anderson County was formed from part of Roane County in 1838. By 1840, William Sr. and William Jr. and their family were living in Anderson County. In the book Our Tennessee Cousins, a William Rich was on a committee in 1841 to form Scott County from three other counties, one of which was Anderson County. My wife’s line then descends from William Rich Jr./ Lucinda Lively. According to Census Records William Rich Jr. was born about 1807 somewhere in North Carolina. Lucinda Lively, was born in Tennessee about 1814. In the 1830 Census William Jr. was living in Roane County ,Tennessee. By the 1840 census, William Jr. and his family were living in Anderson County, Tennessee, By 1850, they were living in Scott County, Tennessee. My wife’s maternal great-grand father was one of William Jr. nine children, Sabert Rich, born 04 May 1854 in Powell's Valley, Scott County, Tennessee, married Catharine Genelia "Tine" Finger on 04 March 1875 in Haywood County, North Carolina. They settled in Maggie Valley, Haywood County, NC. One of their eight children was Annie L Rich, born 20 August 1883 in Maggie Valley. Annie married William Andrew Clement on 30 October 1898. They were my wife’s maternal grand-parents. Ted Richard

Karen what are the approximate dates for William George Rich. You mention the name of Sowder and there is a connection between Rich and Sowder in early 1800's.

I am looking for William George Rich who Married a Mamie Prochno. They lived in Crown Point Indiana. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Karen RESEARCHING: SOWDER, MARABLE, TERRELL, PARRISH, GRAY, PROCHNO, RICH

Reed, With you having Rich surnames going back to 1600s you might, if you haven't already, check ship lists coming from England. I even have Rich's from Ireland. I know there were Rich's that came from England because of the book (I think the title is ~) Rich, Earl of Warwick. This is not much help, I know ~ I can't even find mine. Mine, I believe, came by way of VA, TN, KY, NC/SC to IL. Donna

Lena Seng, I have just read your query about the RICH family of Guilford N.C. and New Garden MM. I have a Samuel RICH b.1805 that m Abigail ELLIOT... His brother was my Ennion RICH. Maralee

With Ancestry.Com being open this month I find that rrich1957@earthlink.net had posted an entry saying that George Rich b. 1793 N.C. was the son of Peter Rich and Elizabeth Garrett.My E-mail from him was returned. Can anyone in our group verify that George was the son of Peter? Thanks all for your help.
