Ancestor #23

I would like to say ‘Thank You’ to Lori Crane for hosting this October Ancestry Challenge 2013. Participating in this meme has brought my love for genealogy and history back into my life and showed me how much work I have to do. I really enjoyed reading all the participants posts and learned from them. I would also like to thank Lori for her hints and tips. 
I will be continuing my genealogy, but will probably set up a new blog page for it, as I have so much on this blog page already. I will be sure to let you know.

Now, onto Ancestor #23, my 5th great-grandfather, James Richey Jr. who was born on November 2, 1752 in Abbeville, South Carolina to James Richey Sr. and Margaret Caldwell.
