I'm fairly new at this and would love to have some help! I got as far as my g-g-g-grandfather John Rich, who as born abt 1795 in NC and died 4/1871 in Clay Co, TN. He was married to Virginia Jane Peak (1796-abt. 1863) and they had ten children, including my g-g grandfather James D. Rich. I can't find the parents of John or of Virginia. Does anyone have info.?

Is this the Jacob in your list that came to the Huntland, TN area? If so he is of my line? Could this be confirmed? Bruce Rich, Jr BRUCERICH@prodigy.net net

I am looking for information on Ensign D. Rich that married Julia Ann Root in Painsville, Ohio on 14 Nov 1894. Julia was 65 years old at the time of her marriage to Ensign so I assume he was about that age also. Julia moved to Seattle, WA to be near relatives in about 1905 and lived there until her death in 1912. What happened to Ensign and how does he fit into the Rich picture. I have other Rich relative and was wondering if there was a connection somewhere. Thanks for any info. Earl Sherman

HI Frank and all others: Thanks for the corrections/additions to the Paine/Rich genealogy you sent out here on the list. Your work is a good example of what we all should do with our data. First and least: you put in sources of where it all came from in your original post. Most data in genealogy on the net seems to come straight in from cyberspace which makes it hard to trace--no long documentation of its journey as my e-mail has when it comes. (BG] Second -- you corrected a mistake. WOW. And here I must give a nod to the internet advantages. The error got out fast so that I was able to correct the original with no problem. With the print medium, for example a daily paper, the errors corrected the next day usually are so far gone that the correction only satisfies those who may have been wronged by the error. All the best to you and appreciation for your good work. ML in VT

Hi, I'd like to re-post this to see if anyone else may have a clue. I have learned about the Rich-Noe(Noah) line that almost seems too perfect to be true. Unfortunately, I have been unable to make the connection. Noah RICH b. 1851 Coal City, St. Clair Alabama d. ?, AL Married to Julia Alverson b. 1855 Coal City, St. Clair, Al d. 1933 AL So, close but so far. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for information about RICH families who lived in North Carolina during the late 1700's and early 1800's. I have a Henry GRIFFIN (or possibly John Henry GRIFFIN) who married a "Betsy RICH". Henry GRIFFIN was born about 1795 in North Carolina. Betsy RICH was born about 1800 in North Carolina. They had 4 sons born in Daviess Co., Indiana: John B. GRIFFIN in 1823 Alfried GRIFFIN about 1829. Richard T. GRIFFIN about 1835. Joseph GRIFFIN about 1838. They moved to DeKalb County, Missouri about the 1840's. I would like to learn more about this GRIFFIN / RICH family and their ancestors and decendants. Thank you for any assistance that you may be able to provide. Regards, Larry Antram larry@antram.com http://www.logcreek.net

Help. I just printed out this genealogy from an internet file. It has on it no information about where it came from--that is who submitted it. I should <never> use it without some indication of who did all this wonderful work. Anyone on the list who can claim it please let me Know. And great thanks to you helpful people. ML in VT

Ruth Westbrook and Reed Wurts were looking for info re Anthony Rich. I am not descended from Anthony, but am descended from Alexander Rich, who was Anthony's uncle. Alexander and Jonathan Rich were 2 of Joseph Rich & Elizabeth Brown's sons. I have very sketchy info re Jonathan -- born in 1763, married Rosanna Kemble and had one son, Anthony. After Rosanna's death, Jonathan married Mary Snodgrass and had 2 more sons, James S. & Josiah. My records show Jonathan's date of death as March 12, 1844. Joseph Rich & Elizabeth Brown had 7 children -- Alexander, Jonathan, John, Joseph, Josiah, Jesse & Mary. According to my records (mostly received from a cousin), Joseph was born in Buckingham, PA on September 27, 1733, married Elizabeth Brown on May 24, 1759, and died October 27, 1810. I think he is buried in Friends Burying Ground in Bucks County (as is Elizabeth who died August 6, 1823). Joseph was the son of John Rich and Sarah Hough. John came to Bucks County, PA in 1730 and bought a farm in Plumstead Township in 1740. I show Sarah Hough to be the daughter of Samuel Hough of Solebury Township, but that's about the only info I have. I think Joseph died in 1751. Reed Wurts mentioned that John Rich's father was also John Rich, immigrant in 1683. I have no info before the John Rich in Bucks County -- does anyone know any of the ancestry further back?

Hi Ruth (and Rich-list members), I have an Anthony Rich (9 Jun 1787-16 Jun 1843) who married, in 1809, Maria Ann Mann (30 Sep 1792- 13 Jul 1871). Anthony Rich reportedly participated in the War of 1812. Anthony Rich was the son of Jonathan, son of Joseph, son of John, son of John. Anthony's parents, grandparents, etc. - the Rich family ancestors were of Solebury, Bucks Co., PA, and the other lines of Buckingham, and Middleton, and Plumstead, all towns/townships/villages in Bucks Co., PA. Anthony Rich was the g-g-g-grandson of Humphrey Morrey (d.1716), the first Mayor of Philadelphia, PA. (see my web site below) I don't really have much more on this Rich line, just this much from some notations on my grandfather's chart and a few notes my mother collected. Here is my Rich line: 1.

Anthony Rich (9 June 1787- 16 Jun 1843) [war of 1812 vet.] md. Maria Ann Mann (30 Sep 1792-13 Jun 1871) of near Doylestown, Bucks, PA 6. Jonathan Rich (7 Feb 1812- 25 Oct 1885) md.

HI: good to hear from you. About Anthony, do you have any more information about him? I will be going to Cape Cod on Wednesday to work on the Summer Kinfolk. I might be able to look around while there and more information would be helpful. Mary Lighthall

Does anyone out there have any information on Anthony Rich. I have just learned that he may be one of my ancestors. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Ruth Rich Westbrook
