Thomas Richey married Jane Stamps in in 1865 after his first wife Betsy Spencer died. They sold their farm in in 1871 moved from Allen Co. Ky. to Union Co. in 1871. Thomas was 30 years senior to Jane Stamps.
They moved to a community called Bordley and bought a 100 acre farm.
Two of Thomas's & Betsy Richey's sons Robert W. and Thomas L. moved along with their dad to the same community.
Robert W. Richey is buried in the Bordley cemetery and has a monument.
Thomas L. is buried close by in Uniontown cemetery, also has a marker.
After Thoms Richey died , Jane Richey moved in with her daughter Fanny and Henry Mansfield who lived in Muhlenberg Co.
Jane died in 1911 and is buried in Pleasant Hill cemetery near Greenville Ky. in Muhlenberg Co.
Henry Mansfield died around 1900 and we don't know where he is buried. Finally Fanny died in 1940 and we don't know exactly where she buried. I am working very hard to find out when Thomas died and where he is buried. I do not have a picture of Thomas who was born is 1803.
If you have any info. concerning this man please let me know.
Thanks, James Richey olejam@scrtc.com.
I have a story about Thomas Richey asking for more info.because we don't know when he died and where he is buried.
The last account we have of My gggrand dad Thomas was in 1880
where he signed for Fanny to marry Henry Mansfield.
Fanny was 14 and Henry was 23 years old at the time of their wedding.
