Hi,
Can anyone shed more light on this couple? Did they have any children?
From another researcher - Edward is born 2 Apr 1815 d: 8 May 1891 Johnsburg s/o John RICHARDS and Sarah REES.
Edward married Electa Charlotte PETTIBONE marriage bond taken out May 1840 in Haldimand Twp Northumberland Co Ontario Canada. That marriage bond is the only thing I have found so far.
Electa was born Apr 1822 in Haldimand twp ... (I have her baptism) she died 29 Sept 1878 Johnsburg both her and Edward are reported to be buried in Wevertown.
If anyone has the cemetery transcription to confirm these dates or any other info on them I would be very happy to get this. Or does anyone know where I can get confirmation of their deaths and burials?
I see there is an Edward RICHARDS living in Johnsburg on 1875 census. Also has a John RICHARDS so possibly his father John? Census pages I viewed at http://www.co.warren.ny.us/records/archive/docs/1875_jsb_i.p...
I notice a Samuel HARNDON also in Johnsburg - he had a few children move to Haldimand twp area Canada too so maybe a few families headed up and some stayed while others like Edward returned to Johnsburg after marrying in Canada.
I descend from Electa PETTIBONE's sister Margaret H. PETTIBONE. Thank you. - Mary
