John Richards

I am still learning more about my 4th great-grandfather, John Richards. He came from Wales on August 26, 1848 with his wife and four of their children. They took up residence in Danville, Montour County, Pennsylvania. After he retired from working he moved south to Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee (where his sons and one daughter lived). I know more about the sons of this family, but I do somewhat know about one of the daughters. I have yet to learn what happened to the other.
