4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
Mary Parsons was born before 17 September 1750, when she was christened in the Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, parish church[1]. He was the daughter of Robert and Mary (Harding) Parsons of Bradford on Avon.
Mary married John Richman (1744-1808) on 26 March 1775 in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, as his second wife, with banns posted on Sundays 5 March, 12 March and 19 March 1775[2-3]. John was born before 3 June 1744, and christened on 3 June 1744 in the Hilperton, Wiltshire parish church. He was the son of Joseph and Elisabeth (Rawlings) Richman of Hilperton. In the banns and marriage records in Trowbridge, John Richman is listed as a widower and Mary Parsons as a spinster. Both signed by marks. The witnesses to the marriage were Joel Chivres and James Tyrrell.
John and Mary (Parsons) Richman had eight children, all but one with a christening record in Hilperton church:
* Thomas Richman (1775-1851), married 1804 Martha Martin (1772-????).
* Ann Richman (1777-1779).
* Joseph Richman (1779-1865), married 1803 Grace Sartin (1778-1867).
* Ann Richman (1782-????).
* Mary Richman (1784-1864), married 1806 Stephen Sartin (1777-1864).
* Phebe Richman (1787-1788).
* John Richman (1789-1867), married 1811 Ann Marshman (1784-1856).
* William Richman (1796-1852), married 1822 Sarah Osborn (1796-1851).
There was a John Rich who was christened on 27 September 1789, the son of John and Mary Rich. This may be the son of John and Mary (Parson) Richman, since there are no other Rich families in Hilperton having children in the 1780-1800 time frame. Several sons of John and Mary (Parsons) Richman used the Rich name in Hilperton and Trowbridge records.
Mary (Parsons) Richman died before 17 February 1802 in Hilperton, where she was probably buried in the church yard[4].
NOTE: The placing of John Richman (1789-1867) as a son of John and Mary (Parsons) Richman is supported by five DNA matches with common ancestors of John and Mary (Parsons) Richman through son Thomas Richman (one match with 10 cM) and son Joseph Richman (4 matches with 7 to 12 cM). This is the author's current thinking and is subject to change if new information is obtained.
