Good Morning Damita,

Just a hunch here, but I have a wild question for you.

Your Richmond SALMOND!!!  Well Richmond is a Surname, very common among the
early MA and RI settlers.  I have ton's on the RICHMOND line, and it was
common to name the boy Richmond with the new surname to maintian the family
surname.  Infact I hav several Richmond _____.  But none with the Surname
SALMOND.  There are two possibilities, that your Emma had a parent by the
Surname of RICHMOND, or they lived in anyone of the numerous Richmond cities
or Counties!!!

I hope this helps you... And others researching the names of RICHMOND

With Love and Kindness
