James Richey Autobiography[]
It is not determined if James Richey had any success preaching to his father's relatives in western Pickens County. Sounds like at least his grandmother was a convert.
After the conference was over, he returned to where his father's people lived in the western part of Pickens County and stopped there to preach to them. After stopping there a while, he went to Itawamba County, in the state of Mississippi, to visit with and preach the gospel to his mother's people.
After this I returned home and gave my attention to work of preparing to remove with my fathers friends to the city of Nauvoo in the State of Illiois to which place we removed in the year of 1845. After we arrived in the City we had much sickness in the family. While I was gone up the river to help to bring down a raft for firewood. My oldest sister Rebecca was taken sick and died in my absence, which was a heavy blow to me as well as the rest of the family. In the course of the year my brother Robert and sister Martha Ann also died with malaria. In the course of the summer I returned to the State of alabama for my grandmother Rebecca Richey but her son kept her money from her so I failed in that part of my mission."
