The trees on the cover of this book represent the hundreds of descendants of Matthew Richmond, an early settler in Armstrong Grove of Emmet County, Iowa in 1868. Nearly 200 photos of his descendants are included and are interspersed into the text, which includes reasons for his departure from Ayrshire and from Ontario. The naming tradition used in naming children through the generations of Richmond children is included. The origin of the Richmond name is addressed and is traced back to Scotland, England, and Normandy. Biographical sketches of his parents, children, and grandchildren provide the reader a knowledge of this family not found elsewhere. Featuring over 100 appendices that include maps, census records, birth, marriage, and death records. Obituaries, wills, newspaper articles, and brief histories of associated families such as Clark, Cavers, Osborn, and Dows are included. My Family Bible and Ten Dollars in My Pocket, the only published history of this family in the past 200 hundred years, will serve as the reference book for all Richmond and associated family members who wish to learn about their family history.
