Notes

Born in Richmond co., Va where he married Mary Hinds and where they made their first home. Deeds show that they moved to Diwiddie Co, Va in 1757 and to Amelia co. in 1760 where Richard bought 243a from William Sammon(DB7-313). This land was sold in 1770 (DB11-208) after which Richard disappears from the records of Amelia Co. It is uncertain where he was until he received a land grant of 200a in 1780 on Little Creek in Rowan Co., NC. They may have been in Guilford Co, NC as a son Richard Jr stated in his pension application that he entered military service in that county. The Guilford County court house was burned by Gen Cornwallis in the battle of 1782. In 1788 Richard and Mary sold the land in Rowan Co.and it is family tradition that Richard moved to Wilkes Co., NC to live with a son and died there. If true this may have been James or John. No record of a will or estate settlement has been found but some pubic records, private records and known family kinships indicate that those listed were children of Richard and Mary.
