Biography

In 1850 he is living in Johnson County with his first wife, Shelley.[1] They are listed next to Benjamin Short, age 28, also born in Tennessee - perhaps Richard's brother?

1855 state census:
2 males under 10
1 male 30 - 40
1 female 10 - 20[2]

Married Elizabeth Pearce on July 6, 1855. She remarried (to Hezekiah Lambert) on January 5, 1858, so his death date is estimated at 1857.[3]
