See Richard's father's memorial for the contents of an article about the death of Richard and his brothers Alford and Zachariah. He died in a gun fight with his brother Alford, in which his brother Zachariah was also killed, accidentally.

Richard was married to Senia Glenn, born 1887 in Georgia. She and Richard had one son, Benjamin, who also died by gunshot in 1924. After Richard's death, Senia returned to her home of Carroll County, Georgia. In 1940 Senia was living with her brother, Adam Glenn, and sister, Lucy Glenn, in Carroll County. She was listed as Senia Glenn, but whether she was using her maiden name or that is a census-taking artifact, I do not know. I have not been able to find a death record for her, although all her siblings have been located. (Adam Glenn is FAG# 57765274.)
