Genealogy Notes

• The full name of wife "Sarah Elizabeth 'Lizzie" Lyman" is a compilation from several sources. Two ancestries noted that his wife was a "Lizzie Lyman." In the 1850 census Richard was living with his father. Included in the household were a "Sarah E" and a young "Alice." It wasn't clear who they were until the 1860 census showed "Elizabeth" as wife and Alice as daughter of Richard. The ages of Elizabeth and Alice corresponded to the ages of Sarah E. and Alice 10 years earlier.
