I'm looking for anything! One of these Richards could be my ancestor. The 1820 Census of Wilson TN lists a Richard pg 386 and a Rice (probably Reece) pg 412. The two Richards are not listed in the 1840 Census. My guess is that Richard died in the early 1830's. My Watkins family left Wilson county around 1829 or 30 and moved to Illinois. Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated. Donald Trumbo The 1830 Census lists 2 Richards: Richard pg 102 (100000001--00000001) Males: 1 (0-5) 1 (61-70) Females: 1 (51-60) Richard pg 107 (01120011--301101) Males: 1 (6-10) 1 (11-15) 2 (16-20) 1 (41-50) 1 (51-60) Females: 3 (0-5) 1 (11-15) 1 (16-20) 1 (31-40)
