Dear Byron and Karen: Thanks for the offers to look thru your Richmond names. Here is what we know. (I am going to use the name Richmond but lots of variations were used in records). Brothers,Daniel, Jesse and Levi Richmond , all born about 1822 ended up in what is now Barbour Co, WV , some time before 1850-60. Actually they were in the little town of Nestorsville. When Jesse died, they told the county clerk that he was born in Hardy Co, WV which came from Hampshire Co in 1785. Hampshire Co came from Frederick Co, VA in 1753. In the 1850 census for Hardy Co, VA/WV we have a Daniel Righman age53 with wife Lydia. Levi Richmond is in the Barbour Co 1850 census. I cannot find Daniel and Jesse in 1850. Looking at the index for VA Census in 1850, I find lots of Richmonds in the area of Hardy Co....Berkeley, Hampshire Cos. So, we are stuck. Need to find the parents of the three brothers previously mentioned. Daniel and Lydia look like good candidates. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks....Lyle Corder
