Hi, I have recently (the last three days!) determined that my ancestor, Charles REACH/RICH, who died in Bibb Co., AL in 1833 and Nimrod REACH/RICH, who died in Bibb Co., AL in 1830, MAY be a part of this Timothy RICH line. I am trying to prove that Charles REACH/RICH who died in Bibb Co. in 1833 is the Charles RICH named as executor of his father Jeremiah RICH/REACH's will in 1782 in Wake Co., NC. I also believe the Nimrod REACH/RICH who died in Bibb Co., AL may be the son of Timothy(2) RICH. My Charles REACH/RICH of Bibb Co., AL m. Milley BAILEY in Morgan Co., GA in 1806. He has two daughters, apparently from a previous marriage, who also married in Morgan Co., GA: Frances REACH/RICH m. Thomas SPICER in Morgan Co., GA in 1815; Patsy REACH/RICH m. Howell CAMPBELL in Morgan Co., GA in 1810. Does anybody have any information on what happened to the Charles RICH/REACH listed as executor of his father Jeremiah REACH/RICH's will in Wake Co., NC in 1782? This would help me determine if this is my Charles REACH/RICH. There is also a marriage record for Charles RITCH and Tempy EMBROUGH, 25 May 1792, Wake Co., NC; Charles RICH appears on the 1798 & 1799 Tax Lists for Ogelthorpe Co., GA. Also, Doris, what is this Book 2? I just joined the list.
