Simpson RICHARDS was my 2great-grandfather, though he was undoubtedly beamed down from a UFO. Born about 1804, probably in Franklin CoVA, he married there on 01 Nov 1832, Nancy VEST, dau of Littleberry and his first wife, "Polly" (Mary?) MOORE. Any information or a suggested search direction on him would be much appreciated. Simpson and Nancy had children: Sarah "Sallie", (abt. 1833); Mary Jane (abt. 1834); Rachel Anglin (my great-grandmother, born 09 Oct 1836); Anderson "Buck" (abt. 1838); Samuel R. (05 Mar 1840); Alice Ann "Ailey" (27 Oct 1843); Martha (abt 1844); Catherine (abt. 1846); William J. (abt. 1846); Fleming (abt. 1852).
