Fifth Generation

82. Frances Ann THOMAS^40,41 was born in 1832 in Virginia.⁶¹

Fannie and Virginia said to have been educated in the Danville schools, but I don't see how this is possible if Rebecca was born in Caswell Co NC in 1838 as the 1850 Census indicates. [It's plausible they could have boarded with relatives in Danville during the school year.]

By 1870, Nathaniel Richmond was apparently deceased. The Camden, Ouachita Co AR Census, p.271, Hh 299, has:
F. A. Richmond, female, age 37, b. VA
N. T., male, age 20, b. AR, working as a clerk
Anna R., age 15, Fannie S. age 13, and Virginia R., age 9.

Frances Ann THOMAS and Nathaniel W. RICHMOND were married on 8 October 1848 in Dallas County, Arkansas.^3,61 Nathaniel W. RICHMOND⁶¹ was born in 1818 in North Carolina.

Living with Nat. W. and his family in 1850 were also Jno S. Richmond age 29, also born in North Carolina. No doubt a brother. Both were Merchants. Mrs. K. McClendon, age 23, born in KY, also lived with the family. She was listed as "Clerk". Could she be a widowed sister?
