By now, have you found that your John Richards is or is not the one who married Elizabeth Wright, daughter of Robert Wright, with a son John who died by the fall of a tree?? I see killed by a fall of a tree is noted on the 1860 Ticonderoga census where the boy was evidently living with his grandparents Robert & Jane Wright. You mentioned Elizabeth's obit (Ticonderoga Sentinel I've a print from)& this gives that they married at Johnsburg in 1830 & had 4 children (your post said only 3 ch). Elizabeth's Wright's birth is recorded in the United Presbyterian Church records of Putnam, Washington Co. NY as July 16, 1814 with Parents Robert Wright & Jane Cummings & also in these church records is her death as Jan. 28, 1899. Your post says of a relationship your John Richards Sr. had previously but you don't see how he could have married the above Elizabeth Wright, I don't see what the problem is, can you explain further? I am working on the Wrigh! t's (Robert Wright's sister was also named Elizabeth & she married James Crammond in England which is my direct line of descent).I don't have info on Elizabeth & John Richards(Sr.) daughter's husband Burleigh line but perhaps can add a bit on the Wright family.
