Hi Robert...not sure what you meant....are you related to these
Rightmire's or did you just find them through a search.. Most are
descendents of either Conrad Rightmyer who lived in the Saugerties area of
New York or Johannes Ludwig Rightmire who settled in New Jersey...They were
probably related....My problem is finding the parents of or determining who
were the parents of James Rightmire who is found in records in Loudoun
County Virginia about 1775 until around 1800....I believe from the
similarity of first names that their is a more likely connection to the New
Jersey family of Johannes Ludwig Rightmire...So if you have lost a James
Rightmire...Or possibly Jacobus Rightmire...who disapeared around 1775 he
may have turned up in Virginia... please let me know.
This is the fellow I am trying to identify as to family as he probably is
my 4th Great Grandfather. Also would like to know his wifes name....Thanks
a lot for any clues, Alice
