John,

Don' know if I can help, but I am a descendant of William B. Richards and Rosana A. Filer through Elijah's older sister, Lucinda. She married WIllis Hartsell, and this piece of the family began its migration through Iowa, Missouri (if I remember) and on to Washington.

Would be happy to share. I also would like to find out more about William and Rosana.
