Research Notes
WikiTree contributor Joi Lin Olsen linked Lydia Rich to her husband citing A Chronicle of Everyday People, pp. 149-150. Marriage before 1790 and likely before 1780. THANK YOU Joi Lin Olsen. A reasonable marriage estimate would be about 1778 based on Moses Rich giving land to his son-in-law James Egleston in 1779.
