Notes

Timothy Richard died while on his way to join his son in Texas. This Timothy Reagan and his wife, Elizabeth Lusk, were the parents of John H. Reagan of Texas and Civil War fame.

John H. Reagan described his father as being very mechanically inclined and good at many trades - being a good blacksmith, boot and shoe maker, tanner, saddle maker, gunsmith, silversmith, very adept at woodworking, and able to repair most any kind of clock or watch. John H. also said, 'He was a man of exemplary piety and of benevolent disposition, and was a member of the Methodist church from his youth to the end of his life'.

Probably because of his ability in these trades Timothy Richard moved from Gatlinburg to the Sevierville area where the demand for his services would be greater. Sometime after 1838 he moved to Knox County, Tennessee where he lived for a few years.

Timothy with Elizabeth and their family appear in the 1830 Federal Census of Sevier County, Tennessee.

Also found in the Knox County 1840 Federal Census is a listing for him.
