Hi All,
I am trying to find information on EFFIE RICHMOND. Her name is not clearly legible on the
1870 census of Ohio County Indiana. Her parents were John Wesley Richmond who died in
Ohio County in 1869 and Ruhamah Wilson Richmond who is on the 1870 Ohio County census as
follows:
The name appears to be written as Richard but should be Ruhamah (spelling) Richmond as F
39 b. Ohio
Gazella (Georgella) 19 F Keeping House b. Ohio
Elfa (Effa) F 16 b. Virginia
Frank 14 M b. Virginia
Alonzo 12 M b. Kentucky
Stephen 10 M b. Kentucky
Edwin 6 M b. Virginia
Charles 3 M. b. Virginia
Gazella is Georgella Richmond and she married Henry Albert Parsons. She died in
Cincinnati, Ohio and is buried in the Wesleyan Cemetery in Cincinnati.
Elfa (Effie) we have no information on. I am thinking she could possibly be Nettie
Richmond who married a Tony Lane and lived in Cincinnati, Ohio also. Cannot find burial
as yet for Nettie, however my mother remembered Aunt Nettie Richmond Lane.
Frank should be Benjamin Franklin Richmond and not real sure what happened to him
either.
Alonzo is Carl Alonzo and he married at least 3 times 1st to Clara with son Claud, then to
Flora, then Mary Jane Setters. Carl Alonzo is also buried in the Wesleyan Cemetery in
Cincinnati along with Flora and Mary Jane Setters Richmond.
Stephen we have no information on either. Don't know who he married or anything other
than there is a Stephen Richmond buried in the Wesleyan Cemetery in Cincinnati that I am
trying to obtain death cert for to confirm he is my line.
Edwin I believe should be Edward and he married Catherine Darnell from Kentucky. I am not
sure where he is buried but have family information on him.
Charles is my great grandfather and he lived and died in Cincinnati, Ohio. He married
Armaida (Mayme) Lane from Kentucky and they are both buried in Wesleyan Cemetery in
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Ruhamah and some of the children moved to Cabell County, WV after the 1870 Ohio County,
Indiana census.
In 1880 the Cabell County WV census lists:
Alonzo WM 22 WV IN OH
Clara wife WF 19 Keeping house OH WV OH
Claud WM 1/12 son OH WV OH
Benjamin F. WM 24 Boat Carpenter OH WV OH
Emma WV 18 wife keeping house WV WV WV
Ruhamah (widow) WV 49 Keeping house OH VA OH
Edwin WM 16 Son Laborer KY IN OH
Charles WM 13 Son at home WV IN OH
You can see that Georgella, Stephen, Elfa (Effie-Nettie) never went with Ruhamah to West
Virginia. Also have no idea what happened to Ruhamah did she die in WV? Cannot find any
information on her death there.
I would appreciate any help at all on this family and will share all that I know including
photos of Richmond's that I have.
Cindy
