Have hit brick wall trying to find parents or siblings my great grandfather James RICH who married Lucretia RICHARDSON for whom marriage license was issued in Gibson County TN on 5 Jan l852. Indications are they had children born about a follows: Julius 1852, James 1855, Frances 1857, Margaret 1860,Daniel Newton 1862, Caldonia 1864, Mary Ann 1867 and Nancy 1869. James and Lucretia Rich with four oldest children shown in 1860 census in 3rd District of Gibson County TN with Gibson Wells post office, however this is last record that can be found of James and Lucretia Rich as a couple. 1869 Tax Book for District 5, Gibson County, lists James Rich, however, this is last record we can find on either of this couple. 1880 TN census shows James Rich in household L. E. McLemore in Madison County, Daniel Rich in household Saluda Mobley in Crockett County, Caldonia in household of Joseph Richardson in Gibson County, and Mary and Nancy in household of William Crosby in Gibson County. Perhaps something happened to parents as children apparently placed with brothers and sisters of their mother. James RICH reported born in North Carolina ca 1823 and Lucretia RICHARDSON in Tennessee ca 1831. Have been unable to determine what happened to parents but have heard reports of yellow fever epidemic in this area. Unable to find any record of land ownership, wills executed, adoption or guardinship, church records, death records, or tombstones. Would appreciate any information, suggestion, or lead as to where might connect James RICH ca 1823 to parents or siblingssssssssssssssssssssssssss. J. A.
