........ viii. Mary Richman, born Bef. 23 March 1825 in Hilperton, Wiltshire, ENGLAND; died Bef. 22 May 1825 in Hilperton, Wiltshire, ENGLAND.

That's as far as I can go with my Richman line. The Hilperton Parish Registers seem to be incomplete before about 1800. There are several John Richmans in the parish records before 1800 that may be #40 above, but there is no clear definition of which one #40 is.

As you can see, the fmaily changed its name from RICHMAN to RICHMOND after James and Hannah Richman migrated in 1856 to New England. The RICHMAN family in Wiltshire kept the family name.
