Descendants of Jacob Rich 
     Jonathon Miller, my gr grandfather, married Elvy Ann Rich....
  

(Much of the data in this outline is from the book "Jacob Rich of
Fayette Co, PA" by Golda Peckham Suttie. Golda's mother Stella
Hurst Peckham began the research in the 1920's, which Golda
carried on.  She completed the book in 1978. To my knowledge
only 3 copies of the book were printed, one for the Suttie family,
one for the DAR in Washington DC, and one for me.)
