Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AgB.2ACI/797.832.834.1 Message Board Post: I am trying to find the parents of Charles A. Rikard (1818-1905)born Newberry County SC who married Mary Elizabeth Smith. They lived near Gilbert SC in Lexington County SC. It has been speculated that he descended from a brother of Thomas Raccurst who came to Newberry SC in 1749 from Germany. Would appreciate any help. Dennis Williams
