Richard York IV, age 20, married in about 1738 to an unknown wife in Olney, Buckinghamshire County, England. He is believed to be the father of his son John William York born in 1740 and his son Bartholomew York born 1745 at Olney, Buckinghamshire County, England. There may have been other children of Richard York IV. Richard York IV is believed to have died about 1767 in England just before his son John William York married in 1769. It is suggested that the settlement of the Richard York IV estate through the SEYMOUR family was significant. Perhaps this provided the resources necessary for John William York and his proposed brother Bartholomew York to afford a voyage to America in the summer of 1769.
