• Notes

  Richard is spoken of as a kind, good man who was very helpful to the folks of the mountains, especially during troubles and sickness. He made brooms for folks, taking his pay in brooms which he then sold or traded. ---------- Reference: "Smoky Mountain Clans", Donald B. Reagan, 1978, p 208.
