The Family of Gilbert M. Richmond

Gilbert M. Richmond, son of Simeon & Elizabeth (Curtis) Richmond, married Helen Louisa, the daughter of Platt S. Beach. See the blog about Mr. Beach here.

In the 1850 WI census taken in Troy, Walworth County, Wisconsin, Gilbert, age 23, and Helen, age 21, were living next door to Gilbert's parents, Simeon (age 54, b. NY) and Elizabeth (49, b.

The 1860 WI Census in Walworth Co. lists Gilbert, Helen and children Mary, Clara and Frank (for ages see the excerpt from the Richmond Family book above).

The census taken in 1870 for Walworth, WI, lists Gilbert, Helen, Frank and Nellie, age 5.
