Edited: 23 Jun 2001 03:38PM
I also have the same 3 marriages for Washington Heath. I found it very interesting that within months of Ann Maria's death, Washington married Victoria Holland. They were divorced sometime before October 31, 1865 when she married Uriah Smith Wolcott in Placer Co., Calif. I haven't found any information that she was a widow--would love to know if you find something about it. My mystery is why she was in Kent County [Michigan] in the first place?

Genevieve Richmond Carradine


Thanks to fellow Richmond descendant, Michelle, who informed me that Genevieve Winifred (Richmond) Carradine, who was notable in her own right (said to be the first female brain surgeon in the United States, though I have yet to find corroborating evidence), was also famous through her Carradine son (John, born Richmond Reed Carradine) and grandchildren.  

Genevieve Winifred Richmond was born in 1885 to Horace and Winifred (Ryan) Richmond, in Milford, Otsego County, New York.

Obituary of George Richmond, Inventor


Grand Rapids Herald
4 August 1898, Page 3
Death of George Richmond

Lansing, Mich.--Aug. 3--George P. Richmond,aged 49 years, is deceased -- had a national reputation as a printer and had resided here for many years.  He claimed to be the first inventor of the telephone and telegraph.  Filed for patent about the same time as Bell Co.  So formidable were Richmond's claims that the Bell Co. sent an agent to this City who offered Richmond $40,000, and a yearly salary of $2,000, for life if he would withdraw his application for a patent.  This offer Richmond refused and ultimately the Bell Company beat him out in the patent office.

Ralph Newman Powers


My grandfather, Ralph Newman Powers, was the son of Richmond descendant, Addie (More) Powers.   I knew my grandfather very well, but what could actually be proven about who he was?  A lineage society, for example, would want to know.




In addition to my own personal knowledge that Ralph Newman Powers was my grandfather, Ralph was head of the household in 1930 and 1940 that included my father, Richard Newman Powers (check for other corroborating evidence, i.e., obituary, death record, marriage record).

Proof that Ralph N. Powers is the son of William S. and Addie (More) Powers is found on Ralph's birth record, his death record, as well as the naturalization records of both William and Addie.  In 1920, Ralph Powers was living in Genesee County, Michigan, with his parents.

In 1910 Ralph was living with his parents in Lapeer County, Michigan.  Ralph N. Powers's WWI Draft registration card his more information.  Ralph married (Jessie) Beatrice Cameron on March 29, 1924; his parents were listed as Wm. S. Powers and Addie Moore.


The 1900 census would be the first for Ralph N. Powers, and included his grandmother More:

Morris Richmond In The Ann Arbor Area


The Ann Arbor Argus, May 15, 1896, online at the Old Newspapers website, featured a "Card Of Thanks" from the relatives of Morris Richmond (Andrew Richmond and sisters).

The obituary (as well as the same card of thanks) was published the same date (May 15, 1896) in the Ann Arbor Argus newspaper:

Ann Arbor Argus, May 15, 1896
Old News: Old News, Ann Arbor Argus
People: Morris Richmond

The obituary stated that Morris Richmond was buried in the Webster Cemetery.

From the Ann Arbor Observer Then And Now site:
A second Greek Revival in Scio Township was the home of farmer Morris Richmond*, who hailed from New York and built his house in 1847, taking more than two years to do it. The house was obviously built by someone who knew about architecture, since it features classic Greek Revival attributes: gable entrance, symmetrical windows, and even a raised area under the beams forming a frieze.  *Could have been the father of Morris Richmond (also named Morris) who died in 1896

Morris Winans Richmond was the son of Morris and Louisa Winans Richmond and the grandson of Sylvester and Harriet (Covill) Richmond.  Sylvester Richmond's lineage back to John, the original immigrant, is: Sylvester Richmond 6 (Edward 5, Benjamin 4, Edward 3, Edward 2, John 1).  Sylvester was closely related to my Richmond line.
