      BIOGRAPHY:
      1. "The Record of James Richey," written by James Richey on December 9, 1855 including a few extracts from his journal with memories by his son, James Moroni Richey, edited and compiled by Susan Sherwood Arnett, 928 E. La Vieve Lane, Tempe, AZ, 85284, 602-839-2882, fax 839-2740, email: warnett@amug.org , copy in Washington County Library, 50 So. Main, St. George, Utah, 84770. The following portion is about James Richey's wives as recalled by James' son: "Now I, James Moroni, as the eldest son will continue with the things I can remember. My parents were called to settle Sanpete Valley in the fall of 1849. Before they left Salt Lake, they were given their endowments in the old Endowment House... Father took a second wife, his niece, Frances Mangum. She lived with him 3 months and left. He also took a third wife, Nancy Leemaster. She had one son, Robert Alma. Nancy left while her baby was small, but we heard of him often. He was a staunch Latter-day Saint. He married Addie Webb. They did not have children of their own, but adopted a son. Mother was the wife that stayed with father through all the trials that came to them, and had 9 children..."
