        • Richard crossed the Atlantic on the ship Ashland in 1849.  He was re-baptized at Salt Lake City 20 March 1853.  On 1 June 1854 he consecrated an unknown sum of money to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Springville, Utah.  He was still living in Springville at the time of the 1856 Utah Territorial Census.    His name is frequently in the records of the Utah Territorial Militia in Utah County.  He is buried at Fairview, Sanpete, County.
