Richard is on the 1880 census at Huntingdon, Huntingdon Co., PA, p158C. His first wife Ann/Nancy Denithorne died in 1878 and he was now married to a lady named Sallie. Ann was born in Penzance, England, 22 January 1830, a daughter of John and Ann (Bartol) Denithorne. The Denithornes came to the US in 1848 and settled at Phoenixville, Chester Co., PA, where the father was a stone mason.
