The Life and Death of Cyrus Richmond Cyrus Richmond and his second wife Phoebe Mott are my Six-Great Grandparents. Cyrus’ birth year has been approximated and variously reported as between about 1692 and 1698 in Kingstown, Washington, Rhode Island. Many records give the lifespan of Cyrus Richmond as from about 1692 or so to 1719 (just Google: “Cyrus Richmond”). This would give Cyrus a total lifespan of about 27 or fewer years! During these alleged 27 or fewer years, Cyrus would have been married twice (to Jane Crandall and to Phoebe Mott) and would have fathered no fewer than 11 children as follows and according to LDS and other records: Jane Crandall married Cyrus Richmond on January 29, 1718 in Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island The Children of Cyrus RICHMOND and Jane CRANDALL were as follows: 1. Lydia Richmond, born 4 Nov 1719 in Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island 2. Elizabeth Richmond, born 20 Jul 1722 in Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island. 3. John Richmond, born 19 Jun 1724 in Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island. 4. Ann Richmond, born 1 Sep 1726 in Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island. 5. Cyrus Richmond, born 8 Dec 1730 in Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island. (CYRUS Jr. A) Phoebe Mott married Cyrus Richmond on 27 Mar 1734 in Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island The Children of Cyrus RICHMOND and Phoebe MOTT were as follows: 1. Jane Richmond was born on 7 Jun 1735 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut 2. Sylvester Richmond was born on 4 Jun 1737 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut 3. Phoebe Richmond was born on 25 Oct 1739 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut 4. Abigail Richmond was born on 16 Jul 1743 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut 5. Mary Richmond, born 15 Jul 1745 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut 6. Cyrus Richmond was born on 26 May 1748 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut (CYRUS Jr. B) Cyrus Richmond MUST have lived at least until the conception of his youngest child Cyrus, (born: 26 May 1748) or so one would both hope and imagine. Yes? Since the younger Cyrus (Jr. B) was born on 26 May 1748, and human gestation is about nine months, we can assume that the elder Cyrus must have lived long enough to at least carry out that conception. So, the earliest possible date of death for the elder Cyrus Richmond should be no earlier than September 1747 and was probably some time after that probable date of conception. All of this assumes of course that the elder Cyrus was in fact the legitimate father of his alleged offspring and did not die at least until after the approximate date of conception for Cyrus (Jr. B) his youngest child or at the very earliest DURING the actual event of conceiving that child but certainly no sooner… one would think. Similarly, Phoebe Mott must have lived at least until the birth of her youngest offspring Cyrus (Jr. B) in 1748. (Please suggest any possible alternatives??) If anyone has any more definitive information on the birth and death dates for Cyrus Richmond and Phoebe Mott, please E-mail me at SJWamback@aol.com. Until I have better evidence of birth and death dates for these ancestors, I will adopt the convention of “before” and “after” dates on the basis of the dates given by LDS for the children of Cyrus Richmond and Phoebe Mott. Thus, and for purposes of convention and for my family trees recorded in both Ancestry.com and Genealogy.com and my personal genealogy home page, I will use the following tentative dates for these ancestors in my direct lineage: Cyrus Richmond 1692-1748 (AFTER 1748 is assumed) Phoebe Mott 1694-1748 (AFTER 1748 is assumed) Abigail Richmond 1743-1819 These dates are by my convention only and are based on cumulative data approximations from various sources and known birth date information on offspring and will remain in place until better more precise data become available. Please report any discrepancies, inaccuracies, or better data to me at SJWamback.com. It is my desire that our genealogy and ancestry be recorded as accurately as is possible given the data at hand and the amount of time that has elapsed since these events occurred. Thank you.
