 ===========================================

Jesse Rich (1822-1871) is my 2nd great-granduncle and brother of my 2nd great-grandmother, Hannah Rich (1821-1911).   

I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of  my ancestors back through the 7th great-.grandparents and a number of close relatives.  Information about his father, John Rich (1790-1868) is in 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 35: #42 John Rich (1791-1868).

The "52 Relatives" theme is a weekly series to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short genealogical sketches, including important events, and with source citations.  These relatives lived and died within a family structure, and deserve a genealogical sketch - they were integral parts and important persons in the lives of my ancestral families.  

I post the 52 Ancestors and 52 Relatives sketches on the 52 Ancestors/Relatives Biographies page, in my Ancestry Member Tree, in WikiTree, and in the FamilySearch Family Tree.
