I pulled up census on your Richey line and found them in Prairie, Henry County, Indiana.In 1860 James is 44 with wife Ann 42, George 20, Mary 18, Wilson 16 all born in PA and then, James 9, John 7, and Emma 4 all born in Indiana.
Then again in Prairie 1870 James is 54, Ann 52, Mary J 26, Wilson 24, James M 18, John E 15 and Charlie 8.
In 1880 still in Prairie James is 64 wife Anna is 62, daughter Mary Jane is 37, son John E is 24 and daughter in law Viretta is 18.I am sure this should be Loretta.
1900 Prairie no sign of James or Ann, John is 45 wife Loretta is 38 son James is 18 and Lee H is 12.
1910 Prairie John E 55, Loretta 48, Jesse E 28, Lee H 22 and Thelma Thompson neice 7.
1920 Prairie John age 65 and Loretta 58
Lee with his family Mersory (that is what the index reads) 30, Mendell 6 Lois 2 9/12
1930 Prairie John 75 and Loretta 67
Lee is now in Mount Summit, Henry Indiana in 1930.He is listed as Pichey.I looked at the record and then must not have finished out the R because it is a P.He is listed with Memory, Mendel, Jennette, and Waldon.
I also found Mendel's birth record as Mendal Harry Richey in Henry Indiana as Oct 20 1913 mother Memory Harry and father Lee Richey.
I hope that helps.
