Robert Bigelow Plantation 2006
The Richard Family
These crests were originally in the Plantation House on Floral Bluff
15336.43 Robert 7 BIGELOW, son
of Benjamin 6 (
Paul 5 , Cornelius 4, Samuel 3, Samuel 2, John 1) and Eunice
(AIKEN) BIGELOW, had a plantation near Jacksonville. Robert
married Elizabeth Richard, dau of Jean Baptiste (John William) RICHARD
and Rebecah E. (Rebeca Isabella) HART.
(see third generation below). I
found some other info at the Jacksonville University Library which is
on Page 2 of Richard family.
I came across mention
of the Richard family coat of arms. Since I am trying to locate where
the Richards came from in France (it's supposed to be Bordeaux), I
would be extremely interested in seeing a picture of the coat of arms
which might give a clue...
Some of the info I have on Elizabeth Ann (Betsy) Richard Brown Bigelow:
Her mother, Rebeca Hart Richard Read(e), is aunt to
Florida's first native-born governor (Ossian Bingley Hart). Ossian was
the son of Rebeca's brother, Isaiah D. Hart.
Elizabeth's parents (Jean Baptiste being Catholic
and Rebeca being Protestant) were married "illegally" in the U.S.
(Georgia), and later imprisoned at St. Augustine for it.

A TERRIBLE SHOOTING AFFAIR
Capt, J.C. Richard Shot in The Head
By George C. Miller
On Sunday Morning--An Old Feud--Miller Sent To Jacksonville To Jail
On Sunday morning last ,Captan J.C. Richard, of this place, while
talking in front or his house, was shot and badly wounded by Mr. Geo.
C. Miller, of this place. Miller shot 4 times, but only one ball took
effect, and that struck Richard in the head just above the nose and
between the eyes, shattering the skull bone and lodging on one sie 'of
the face over the cheek bone. The ball a 38-calibre, is not yet
extracted. Richard fired one shot, it is said, after he was struck.
It seems that there has been a very unfriendly feeling existing between
them for some time, owing to family affairs. Miller at once gave
himself up to Deputy Sheriff Underhill, when he waived an examination
and was conducted to Jacksonville for safekeeping by Deputy Underhill
and R.M. Alvarez.
Miller's statement to the Jacksonville papers is a decidedly one-sided
one and Captain Richard is yet too feeble to reply the true cause, and
the blame cannot be located at this early date. It is rumored on the
street that Richard requested that no harm be done Miller. The trial
will probably come on at the fal lterm of court.
Captain Richard is a man of about 63 years, He has a large family of
grown up children. He is a senior member of the firm of Richard &
Pace; He was a member pf the'Constitutional Convention (of 1865 and
1885 )and has held several high offices of trust.
Mr. Miller is about 38 years old and has been in Starke most of the
time the past 7 years. He was in the drug business here several years
with Powell under the firm name of Powell & Miller. He has but
lately returned from California where he spent a year. Since his return
he has been doing odd jobs about town, and working his father's little
orange grove just outside of town.

(EDITORIAL)
THE SHOOTING OF HON. J.C. RICHARD
We can recall no event occuring in this section of the State which
caused a more wide spread feeling of regret than the recent shooting of
Capt. Richard. The Captain is well known throughout the borders of the
State and has a host of friends everywhere who love and admire him for
the many excellent qualities of his generous nature. To attest his
great personal popularity at home, we may say that from the moment he
was wounded until it was definitely known that he was entirely out or
danger, his home was crowded day and night with anxious friends.
Capt. Richard has been fully identified with the political history of
Florida, his native state, for the past 30 or 40 years, having served
in two State Constitutional Conventions and several terms in both
branches of the Legislature. He also enjoys the reputation of a
vigilant and brave military commander, having served throughout the
entire war between the States, with distinction to himself and command,
and honor to his section.
His name was favorably mentioned for Congress last year and his
numerous friends in all sections of the State are now looking forward
to his political promotion at no distant day.
The shooting of such a man as Capt. Richard was well calculated to
excite a feeling or deep interest in his behalf in all sections of the
country. Messages of warm sympathy have poured in upon him from all
sections of the State and from many other quarters. Among the great
number of friend who hastened to give expression to their warm sympathy
and deep regrets by telegraph and letter, we may mention the following
from abroad: R. C. Herberger, Washington, D. C., John F. Jackson, N.
Y., J. E. Low, Green Cove, Gen. Edward Hopkins, Mrs. Dr. Murphy, Dr. J.
N. Jones, Hon. T. A. MacDonald; Jacksonville, Dr. J. G. Hopkins,
Thomasville, Ga; F. W. Simmons, Fernandina, G. P. Webb. Gainesville;
Dr. C. A. Simmons, Hawthorne, Dr. James Chase, Bronson, and many
others.
In concluding this brief notice of the Captain and his unexpected
affliction, we are pleased to state that he will be able to be out and
mingle with his friends again, and that he has borne with true spartan
heroism his severe suffering.

CAPTAIN RICHARD PLAYED COLORFUL ROLE IN EARLY DAYS OF STARKE
John Charles Richard, a partner in Richard & Pace, the first large
general merchandise store in Starke, was another early leader in the
community who, like Dr. John L. GasKins, was the subject of a
complimentary biography in "Memoirs of Florida," published by tbe
Southern Historical Association of Atlanta in 1902. The Richard &
Pace store was established here in the late 1850s, about the time that
the railroad from Fernandina to Cedar Key was built through Starke.
The article states that Capt. John C. Richard was born on a farm near
Brunswick, in Glynn County, Ga. in
January, 1827. He was descended from an "old and noble" Italian family.
His grandfather, Don Luis Joseph Francis Richard, of Florence, Italy,
when a high-spirited and ambitious youth, became involved in a
"difficulty" with another young Italian, and a duel was fought with
swords. Don Luis' adversary was killed in the duel and, as a result,
the Richard (pronounced Richard') had to leave his native country
hurriedly to avoid prosecution.
Don Luis joined a party of Italians who were bound for Bordeaux,
France, where he remained for a
while and married, leaving later for San Domingo, where he operated a
coffee plantation and owned numerous slaves. Just before the
insurrection of the Negroes, which caused such havoc on the island,
Richard decided to leave America. He managed to make way to Charleston,
S.C. with slaves.
Several years later he and his family moved to St. Johns County in
Florida, where they reared their four children. One of the sons, John
Charles (the father of Capt. J. C. Richard) settled in Glynn County,
Georgia where he married Malinda Tison and became a prosperous farmer.
He also entered public life, serving as clerk of the Circuit Court
there for 20 years.
Capt. Richard, the second son of a large family of children, left
Georgia as a young man, coming to Middleburg in Clay County, where he
farmed and later became a successful merchant. In 1855 he was married
to Mary Morgen, daughter of Sdomon and Belinda Buddington Morgen, who
came to Florida in 1825. This family traces its ancestry back to James
Morgan who came to this country from Bristol England in 1607, settling
in Boston.
Shortly alter his marriage, Capt. Richard and his bride moved to
Jacksonville where he opened a mercantile business on Bay Street and
was later joined by George E. Pace. A few years later, Richard and
Pace, perhaps, seeing the opportunity for growth in Starke following
construction of the new railroad through here, connecting Fernandina
and Cedar Key, came to Starke and established a large store next to the
railroad tracks on the south side of Call Street. This location was the
center of activity in those days, with the depot, post office, and a
large hotel all in a cluster around the tracks.
With the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Capt. Richard organized a
volunteer company of militia, of which he was elected Captain. They
were accepted and the command was ordered to Fernandina to be mustered
in, becoming Company B of the First Florida Battalion.
Capt. Richard and his men saw much arduous service in tne campaigns in
Virginia, participating in the battles of Wilderness, Cold Harbor, High
Bridge, and Petersburg. At Petersburg Capt. Richard was severely
wounded in his right arm by the blowing up of a mine. He and three
other members of the Richard clan fought in the Battle of Olustee.
Capt. Richard is also said to have been with General Robert E. Lee at
the surrender in Appomatox.
After the surrender, Capt. Richard engaged in the cross tie and mill
business at Lake Butler, which was then in Bradford County. In 1876 he
was elected as a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention which
earned the distinction of transacting all of its business in 13 dags.
In 1876 he was elected to the State Senate from the 15t hSenatorial
district serving in the upper house at the same time that Dr. Gaskins
was in the House of Representatives.
Capt, Richard was also elected as a delegate to the Constitutional
Convention of 1885, which is credited with writing the document that is
still the basic structure of Florida government. In 1885, Capt. Richard
was elected to the House of Representatives, and Dr. Gaskins was
elected to the Senate, reversing the positions they had previously held.
In her history of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Sandra Poynter Sanders
says the first Episcopalian services in Starke were held in a cotton
gin at Madison and Thompson Streets when Capt. Richard donated his half
interest in the building to St. Mark's after his partner's interest had
been purchased by the Missionary. This building was later moved to
property on Church Street which had also been donated by Capt. Richard
in 1892.
Capt. Richard was also one of the incorporators of the first public
school in Starke under Statutes, 1883, Chapter 3509. No. 97. An act to
incorporate an instituiion of Learning at Starke. Bradford County, Fla.
under the name of Starke Institute.
There are many interesting anecdotes concerning Capt. Richard which
indicate that he was a true grandson of his Italian ancestor. Don Luis.
and that some of the same high-spirited blood that flowed during the
long-ago duel still ran in his veins. One of these incidents, which
made him somewhat of a legend in his own time, almost cost him his
life. according to a story in the August 27, 1887 issue of The"The
Telegraph", headlined "A Terrible Shooting Affair."
This and other incidents in the life of this public-spirited and high
spirited man will be published later.
