Thank you for contacting me. This information interesting. We don't know a whole lot about that side of my mother's family (her grandmother's side) because none of them came over to the US. I am unable to access any of the public family trees as my subscription has expired.
According to my records/research, Richard did have a family. The information that I have for him is here:
