Richard was 2nd of "The Ten Brothers".

Richard was second of the Ten Brothers. According to John A. Shields he lived and died in East Tennessee, and had many descendants there and in North Georgia.

Christine Brownlee reports that records of Pigeon Creek Baptist Church show that on 30 September 1808 the church fined Richard Shields and Henry Haggard for "illegal action." In August 1838, Richard was clerk of the congregation.

Richard was the father of seven children (5 sons, 2 daughters) according to a petition in Sevier County to excuse him from taxes due to disability. Richard died between 1815 and 1816, for he witnessed a will for John Adam Wolfe of Sevier County in 1815 and when the will was probated in 1816 Richard was deceased.
