I'm following Adam Richart/Rickard out of Shenandoah to Mason County around 1800, where his family was then connected to the Roush and Zirkle families. Knowing that those latter 2 were from Shenandoah, I'm trying to determine if they were acquainted with the Richarts prior to moving west. > > The name is also known as Rickart, Rickert, and Reichart. > > I believe Adam was migrating from PA, and perhaps just passing through Shenandoah, staying for a relatively few years. His first wife, Elizabeth, died there in 1797, near New Market (so the story goes). He then married Catherine.

Thanks for reminding me about Dr. Benjamin and Adam/Kibler. Tom
