Notes - Six years after Edward’s birth, the last of Richard and Priscilla’s children arrived. William was born May 18, 1840 and christened June 28, 1840. He had just passed his second birthday when his mother died. Who cared for him after her death is not known.
William died of consumption on May 4, 1849 at the home of J. Richins, who was present at his death. William was 9 years old. There was at that time three Richins whose name started with “J”—John, Joseph, and Joseph. John was William’s brother, but he was with his brother Edward at the Wager home and too young, so that eliminates him. There was Joseph, the eldest son of William, but he also was too young and unmarried when Priscilla died.
This left Joseph Richins, a brother of Richard. He married Ann Davis in 1829. Their first son had died. There were three daughters, Maria 10, Juliann 7, and Ellen 6, and two sons, Mark 5 and Peter who was the same age as William. Joseph apparently took William to raise with Peter. Joseph’s wife, Ann, died of complications of childbirth just four months prior to William’s death. Maria, their eldest daughter, took over the care of the motherless family. She was present when the baby died. Joseph was present when his nephew, William, died of pulmonary consumption.
