The following information is courtesy of Ann Gipson.

Matilda A. Richey was the 1st wife of Amos Bennett. She was born in Bullett Co.KY and died in Gishton, KY (Muhl Co). Her father was Elizah Richey, Sr., Her mother Rebecca Clark (Parents lived in Gishton,KY).

Suggested edit: Her Death Record lists her DOD as 30 Sep 1876, age 56 yrs. This would make her DOB 1820. Since her sister was b. 28 Aug 1817, I feel the 1820 DOB is more likely? The 1850 Census says b. 1819; 1860 Census says b. 1817; 1870 Census says b. 1817. This makes it very confusing.

Marriage Records:
Amos Bennett married Matilda Richie on 28 Jan 1841 in Bullitt County, Kentucky.
Amos Bennett married Lidea C Hendricks on 30 Nov 1877 in Muhlenburg County, Kentucky.
