  • Notes 
    • Only one child was found recorded for Henrietta S. (Wasgatt) Richards -Fred Richards, who died as a two-day old infant in 1869. On the 1900 census, she states she had never had children. One can only imagine how difficult this apparent infertility was for her. An additional sadness she bore was the death of her first husband, Simeon Richards, just three months previous to the death of her mother, Julia Ann E. (Wasgatt) Wasgatt in 1889.
