Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in USA

James Richey (b around 1760), his wife, and their son, John Richey (b 1783) immigrated to the US in 1797. There is a possibility that the date of immigration was 1803 on the Ardent arriving in Baltimore, I'm looking to confirm or exclude that record. They lived in Beaver, Pennsylvania, and the Town of Lawrence, Ohio. On November 23, 1837, in Ohio, John's daughter Margaret Richey married Robert Cook, also an immigrant from Kilberry, Ireland (either Kildare or Meath unless there is another Kilberry). Robert, Margaret, and some other Richey descendants moved to the town of Brooklyn, Lee County, Illinois, not long after the Black Hawk War.
