Sandra:The first Richard was buying and selling at the store I mentioned in the 1730's.His son Richard Jr. was transacting there by the 1740's.The first Richard, mentioned in a Parish Vestry Book was married to Sara Kade (later they spelled it Caide or sometimes Cade). Richard Jr. was an adult by the 1740's. I have copies of original store records of the transactions sent to me from a collection which is at the UNC Library from VA. They are also listed in the Vestry book.I have not been to Hanover yet, but the Library I use in Granville Co., NC has many many printed records from most of the counties in VA, as well as some of the Parish Vestry Book records. Rachael was apparently the second Richard's wife as she is mentioned also in one of the vestry book records.I doubt that the Senior Richard got to this area, and he may have died prior to his son moving to Cumberland Co.Richard's group was the last to leave Hanover/Louisa Counties. Sarah Blalock also charged many items, but I don't know if she is Richard's wife, or the (third) John's wife, as he too was married to a Sarah and they were in Johnson Co. (northern Wake) for many years before that John went to S.C. I have read the original wills of the Cumberland Co. group, and have seen some of the Rev. War notes.The information I provided on the web concerning the wills was taken from the NC archives - wills and estate records.Since my husband doesn't descend from Richard's sons I didn't go further except for the Cumberland Co. wills.I shall look up the information I got from the printed War records on at least one from that group and send that to you.You are just missing one Richard. If you will give me your mailing address, I will try and copy some of the store records. They are on such large paper, however, I don't know how clear they will be. The dates, however, are very clear and the fact that Richard Jr. and Kade appear about the same time - after the elder Richard is also very clear.
