Hello, Here is my Rich line, I'd like to hear from an "cousins" out there to expand on what I have and to share information. The line starts with Micheal DeRich in Esses Co, Mass about 1672. Micheal was married to Mary Bassett of the Witch Trials. Micheal had a son, ( not sure Mary Bassett was the mother) named John DeRich who married Martha Foster on Oct 25, 1698 in Essex, Mass. They had a son name Paul, and Paul changed the name to Rich. He married Bethia Colburn on Feb 10, 1733 and lived in Dudley, Worcester Co, Mass. They had a son named Thaddeus Rich who married August 19, 1760 and lived in Worchester Co. Mass. Thaddeus married Abiah Frost Their son John Rich Sr moved the family from Mass through Vermont to N.Y. He married Susanna Putney on May 1, 1782. John died in Warren Co. N.Y in 1849. Their son was John Rich Jr. who married Jane Patterson in 1815. They lived in Rensselaer Co. N.Y. ( John had family in Washington Co. N.Y. also. There are several of this Rich line in these two counties.) Their son was Moses T. Rich who move to Michigan from where he served in the Civil War. He was in Bay Co and moved to Saginaw Co. He married Almira Bellmore. Moses was my husband's grandfather. Anyone connected, I'd love hearing from you. Arlettia Fyfe smoke@mcn.net
