Samantha Shively was born on 15 October 1825 at Columbia Co., PA., and died after 1897.
Peter F. Richard was born on 18 August 1842 near the village of Noma, province of Alsace, France, and died of congestion of the brain on Thursday, 07 January 1897. He left home when he was nineteen years old, and came to America. He lived for a year and a half in Akron, Ohio, then came to Wood county.
They married on 21 August 1815 and settled on a farm in Center township. After forty-two years of farming, they retired, and on 26 October 1884 they moved to Bowling Green township.
“A young sister of our subject, Louise Richard, visited him some years ago, and while at Buffalo, on her way back to France, she was lost, and never heard from afterward. A half-sister, Catherine, the wife of Fredrick Peachim, died at Watseka, Ill., a few years since. His sister Catherine, whose husband, Fred Bossard, died in Cincinnati, Ohio, of cholera, lives in Bowling Green. Mr. Richard returned to France, in 1865, accompanied by his sister Catherine, and visited the old home. His first voyage had lasted forty-eight days, his second was made in eleven. Mr. Richard has many interesting stories to tell of old times. He was a Whig previous to the war, and was present at the great mass meeting at Fort Meigs, in 1840, also helped to haul the logs and build the miniature forts on that occasion.” from the Commemorative Historical and Biographical Record of Wood Co., Ohio
