  General Notes:

Richart Family Notes: "Mary Lowrey Biddle and husband Robert Richart . . . (settled) in Macon, MI. (They came) "in 1846 or 47 from McEwensville (Northumberland County), PA. They arrived at the home of Gabriel Mills, a pioneer of 10 or 15 years before where they stayed overnight on August 31st which was Mary Ann's 16th birthday. . . . They took a boat of some kind at Erie, PA. But what kind of transportation they had to cross that mountainous country I do not know."

"Mary . . . was an invalid as far back as I can remember, and her easy seat all that distance from her home in Pennsylvania to Macon, MI was a wooden rocking chair, an old armed chair. She had lingering consumption, or what is called tuberculosis today (which she died of). Grandfather Richart died a few years before she did. The records of their births and deaths are on their stones in the Macon Cemetery as well as (those of) the Biddle brothers living in Michigan and her sister Hester's family."
