  Narrative

Parents just a guess at this time from http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hemlockhill/Ritchie.htm . James s/o Alexander Richey and Jane Caldwell from Derry Co, Ireland. Names and places in this family are clearly ours but unsure of the lineage. Alexander and son John were blacksmiths, like Robert, Gideon, Jeff... Possibly intead a brother of Alexander (other sons of Samuel Richey and Lydia Moore) that came with him thru PA to VA.

"He took land grants in Washington Co TN at least in 1782. If you lived in this spot at that time you were surely an Indian fighter. His first grant was on the Big Limestone River. He later moved to what is now Green Co. on Lick Creek."
