I have gradually been getting more information about my mother's family who were from the Franklin County, Vermont area. The name has been spelled in several ways. The early generations were RAICHARD or RAICARD. This was later changed to either RICKARD or RECORD. John RAICHARD b. 1781, d. 1856, Franklin (buried in Highgate, VT) m. Caroline BOYCE John's children included Delaney, Rebecca, John, Caroline, Peter, and Lott/Lot Delaney married Seth Warner HATHAWAY and Rebecca married Marshall Nye BEEBE. Both apparently lived in Swanton. Lott or Lot RAICHARD b. 1817, Franklin, d. 1888, Franklin (buried in Highgate, VT) m. Catherine JUDKINS, b. New York, D. 1910, Franklin children were: James E. RAICHARD (who served briefly in the Civil War and died in 1864), Mary, Charles, Hiram RAICHARD/RICARD, Leonard, Rosette, Laura Hiram F. RICHARD/RICARD b. 1855, m.1880 in Franklin to Ruth DAVIS b. Swanton, Vermont Children were: Raymond RICKARD, Harry RECORD, Edith RECORD, Ashley RECORD I have been unable to locate where Hiram lived or where he is buried. He apparently moved away from the Franklin area as his son, Raymond Franklin, was born in Brandon, Vermont. Three of his children: Harry, Edith and Ashley moved to Long Island. Raymond moved to NH. Raymond Franklin RICKARD b. Oct 16 1882 in Brandon, Vermont He married Ethel May CHASE and settled in Newport/Guild, New Hampshire. He was my mother's father. I would be interested in determining exactly where this family lived in Franklin Co. and their occupations. I would also like to know more about the Hathaway and Beebe families and other marriages in the family. If anyone has any connection or information about this family, I would appreciate hearing from you. THANKS!
