*William was the most recent ancestor identified in the Richmond Family book.  The relationships between William and presumed descendants Charles, Hiram and Lena were found online.  Hiram was proven to be Lena's father per the Civil War Widow's Pension File of Lena's mother ( Esther Rodgers Bowers Richmond Chamberlain).  Lena was my 6th cousin 4x removed.
