2 24 '^^' Rich Family of Eastern Connecticut. [July
6. David° Rich (Thomas*), b. at Eastham, Mass., March 17,
1710, removed to Wallingford, Conn., says Beers; but the
David Rich of that place on Oct. 8, 1724, signed a petition to
the General Court at New Haven, and Oct. 9, 1729, his wfife was
one of the original members of Wallingford Church (see
Davis' History of Wallingford, Conn., pp. 127 and 213). At
these dates David, No. 6, was respectively only 14 and 19 years
old, raising a serious question of identity. Nothing more is
heard of him at Wallingford, but on page 625, of Vol. Ill,
Printed Probate Records of Hartford Co., is the will of David
Rich, of New Cambridge, in Farmington, dated Feb. 23, 1747-8,
mentioning wife Elizabeth, son Samuel, and other children not
specifically named. New Cambridge was the early name for
what is now Bristol, Conn., and in the Historical Catalogue, etc.,
Cong. Church of Bristol (Ed. 1875), p. 39, is given the death
of David Rich in 1748, aged 54, which would give his date of
birth as 1694, so that he could not have been the David Rich
(brother of John and Cornelius), born in 1710. He was, how-
ever, of about the right age to have been the David who disa{>-
pears from Wallingford records. I think it probable that he
was of the Eastham, Mass., family, but I have not been able
to place him.
The Census of 1790 (Connecticut), gives three Bristol families
of Rich, all probably descendants of David, viz.:
P. 34, Thaddeus Rich, 4 male children, under 16 and 3 females,
including head of family. The U. S. Pension Records, S 14307,
Connecticut, give Thaddeus Rich, applied July 26, 1832, then resid-
ing at Qieshire, Conn., born at Cambridge (Bristol), Conn., July 27,
1759, was residing at Bristol, at enlistment, which was at Farming-
ton, May, 1776, in Capt. Morton's Company of Col. Mott's regiment.
P. 35, Census Report of 1790, gives Wlliam Rich, of Bristol, 3
male children under 16 and 5 females. Also John Rich, of Bristol, i
male child under 16 and 3 females.
The following from the 1875 Catalogue of Bristol Church refer
to this family:

II. CoRNELiLS Rich (Thomas*), b. probably in Eastham, but his
birth record has not been found. He is named in his father's
will, and made its executor ; from which it has been assumed
that he was the eldest son, and if so, would have been born
prior to 1702. None of the births of his children have been
recorded, but a very careful and especial study of this family
was made by Mr. Kibbe, and his report to Mr. Allen is as fol-
lows :
"Cornelius Rich, son of Thomas Rich, ofl Eastham, Mass. .re-
moved to Middletowm, Conn, (east side of the Connecticut River),
and settled in that part which is now Chatham, Conn. Two brothers
of this Comelius, namely Thomas" and John," had several years be-
fore Cornelius." settled in what is now Chatham, Conn. These three
Rich brothers were the ancestors of all the Riches ever found in
Chatham, Conn. The only question is from which of the brothers
James Rich, Jr., is descended. The children of the two brothers,
Thomas' and John," all appear in the records, and there is among
them no place for James Rich, Jr. Cornelius has not a child re-
corded in Eastham. Mass., nor Chatham, Conn., although it was well
known that he had at least six sons and possibly some daughters."
* * * (Mr. Kibbe then gives the data pertaining to children of
No. 2, Thomas" and No. 8, John," and proceeds as follows: "The
foregoing shows that there was no James Rich in this family (No.
2, Thomas") * * * James" (son of No. 8, John"), b. Aug. 28,
1741, could not have been James Rich, Jr., who m. March 26, 1775,
Margery Butler, as found in records of Chatham, Conn. A man
less than thirty-four years of age does not often have a son old
enough to marry. Moreover, this James Rich, b. Aug. 28, 1741,
lived, married, had children (all recorded) in Chatham. Conn., where
he d. in mature life, and his record is well known. No room here
for James, Jr.. who m. March 26, 1775. So we must look for him
among the children of Cornelius Rich, the third and youngest
brother.
2 26 The Rich Family of Eastetn Connecticut. [July
Why Cornelius Rich had no children recorded it is not possible
to say. But in a petition to the Governor and Council of Connecti-
cut, dated Aug. lo, 1779 (see Colonial Records of Connecticut for
this date), Cornelius Rich, of Chatham, Conn., states that three sons
of his had been killed in the Continental service, and that two more
were at that time in the Continental Army. Only one remained with
his father, and now he had been detailed to temporary service on
the coast. The father asked that his son be permitted to remain at
home. The Governor and Council ordered the proper officer to in-
vestigate, and if he found the facts to be as the father had stated, to
grant his request. So Cornelius Rich, of Chatham, had six sons, all
of whom were in Continental service.
A careful and exhaustive study covering years has convinced the
writer (Mr. Kibbe), that the following is the correct list of these
six sons of Cornelius Rich (Numbers added by Edwin A. Hill).
Children of Cornelius" and Rhoda (Fish) Rich:
-|-30. Cornelius, ° lived to old age in Chatham (Middle Had-
dam).
31. Nathaniel,* killed in the war, so reported.
32. John,^ killed at Norwalk, 1779, and so reported in the
returns.
33. Joseph,** probably killed in the service.
-I-34. Lemuel,* was finally placed in the invalid corps, and so
served to the end of the war ; m., and settled in Chatham,
Conn.
-(-35. James,* probably the one his father asked to be permitted
to stay at home.
This James was the James, Jr., of Chatham. The foregoing
shows that there is no place for him except this one in all the fami-
lies of the name in Chatham.
The land records indicate the same fact, for Samuel Wetmore,
in 1780, sold a lot of 22 acres, part to Cornelius Rich and part to
James Rich, all of Middletown, now Chatham. In 1782, Cornelius
Rich sold his part of this lot to his son Lemuel.
That James Rich, Jr., was son of Cornelius seems to be the
only possible conclusion, and here we place him where he certainly
belongs.
On this lot lived James Rich, Jr., and near by lived the father,
Cornelius, who sold his part of the lot to his son Lemuel Rich in
1782."
To Mr. Kibbe's foregoing account I may add the following with
the statement that I fully concur in his conclusions.
Beers' History of Middlesex Co., on p. 211, gives some little
account of this petition of Cornelius Rich. For full details of what
happened to John* Rich, No. 32, see Records State of Connecticut,
Vol. 2, p. 561, 1778-1780, and for the petition of Cornelius' Rich,
see p. 384, same volume. The marriage intentions of Cornelius'
Rich and Rhoda Fish, both of Eastham, Mass., were published May
9, 1747, and recorded in Eastham. The original record book being

now in the custody of Town Clerk of Town of Orange, once a part
of Eastham.
In addition to the sons mentioned above, Cornelius evidently had
daughters, for in the files of the Pension Bureau at Washington,
D. C, File B. L. M. 103-100, Connecticut, we find Nathaniel l^ich
served under Col. Isaac Sherman — killed in battle — under 21 years
of age — unmarried, land granted to Rhody Rich, of Chatham, Conn.,
his only parent living in 1801, who had title prior to brothers and
sxsten.
14. Amos' Rich (Thomas'), b. at Eastham, Mass., Oct. 2, 1726;
m. at Chatham, Conn., Sept. 25, 1749, Mary Brown (Bailey's Ct.
Mgs. Book 3, p. 75; Middletown Records, Vol. 2, p. 189). He
probably d. prior to 1752, at which time Daniel Smith, of Mid-
dletown, was appointed guardian to Amos Rich, a minor. (Md.
Probate 1-82). His widow m. Daniel Smith, Nov. 6, 1752

15. Eliz.\beth* Rich (Thomas'), b. at Eastham, July 5, 1728, is
probably the one who m. Daniel Smith, at Chatham, Feb. 6,
1746 (Bailey, Vol. 3, p. 74), and probably d. soon. See mar-
riage in 1752, of Daniel Smith, at Chatham, to Marj' Rich,
widow, probabl}' the widow of No. 14, Amos' Rich.
16. M^RCY* Rich (Thomas'), b. at Eastham, Mass., June i, 1731,
is probably she who m. Richard Morgan, at Chatham, April 7,
1755 (Bailey, Vol. 3, p. 76).
17. Bethiah* Rich (Thomas'), b. July 22, 1733, at Eastham,
Mass., is probably she who m. Reuben Cook, at Chatham, April
14, 1757 (Bailey', Vol. 3, p. 76).
19. Peter* Rich (Thomas'), b. at Eastham, Sept. 2},. 1735; m. at
Middletown, June 30, 1763., Penelope Brown, of lladdam
(Bailey, Vol. I, p. 45). He is described in this record as of
Middletown. See also Middletown Records, Vol. 2, p. 128. He
d. before Dec. 3, 1764, at which time Penelope Rich was ad-
ministratrix of the estate of Peter Rich, of Middletown (Pro-

and on Nov. i, 1762, Lemuel Lee was appointed his guardian

Amos Rich, was admitted to full communion in Middletown

we have widow Rachel Rich, d. Mar. 13, 1834, aged 85, and
therefore b. about 1749.
Beers' History of Middlesex Co., p. 198, states that Martha,
daughter of Abel and Jemima (Brainerd) Abell, m. Amos Rich. As
Abel Abell was b. in 1757, and had eight children before Martha was
born, her birth was probably not earlier than about 1790, which
would indicate that Amos' Rich had a son Amos,* whose wife was
Martha.

found.
47. John' Rich (Eliakim"), was. bap. at Middletown, Aug. 25,
1795, being then aged 6 years, and was, therefore, b. about
1790. The children recorded to John and Abigail Rich, pp. 100
and loi, Cong. Cli. Records East Hampton, were b. too early
to have been his children, and are probably the children of John,
No. 70, and are therefore so assigned.
