    3. Here is my list, Thomas L Rich was my father-inlaw. his children were Leon Rich, Alma Rich Mildred Rich, by his first wife. There may have been one who died, not sure of this. His first wife died, he remarried Vesta M. Burns and had six children by her. Florence Rich, Roger Rich, Sidney Rich, Fanny Rich, Eugene Rich, James Rich. They are all dead except for James, who still lives in Trenton Maine. Eugene was my Husband, he died in 1984. The dates on the others I do not know except that they were all born after 1900. and all but James was dead by 1996. I haven't been able to find out who Thomas' parents were. But his folks were suppose to have settled in Tremont Maine from England. And started a shipyard there. There is a Rich Cemetery in Tremont, here are the names that was obtained from there. Sgt.
