Do you know whether any of them migrated from SC to AR then on to TX? Someone told me the Richeys in this book connect with mine, but I haven't been able to find the book and read the Richey data that is given there. I do know that my Ritcheys came to the states from northern Ireland. I believe they settled first in PA. Some of them moved on to SC and other southern states. Thanks.
