This weekend at the Sawtelle Research Center in Bar Harbor my husband found some interesting info on John Rich from the Sawtelle papers. According to Sawtelle, John Rich born July 25, 1741 and at 7 years of age moved from Truro, Mass to Marblehead, Mass to Bass Harbor, Mount Desert Island, Maine. He married Emma Cross(sometimes spelled LaCroix). She was born Sept.18, 1741 and died September 17, 1803. John Rich died October 15, 1811. Their children: John m. Susie Tucker William m. P.Morrill Jonathan m. Mary Gott Elias Phebe m. John Stanley Emma Polly Sally Nancy m. Joseph Lancaster Is this John Rich descended from the Richard Rich clan of Cape Cod? I haven't been able to find any connection yet. This is the first I've seen of this Truro to Mount Desert connection. Does anyone else have any more information on this connection? Thanks!
