There is a problem with marriage and/or death dates, places and children for Richard Few.

Some records show Richard as having married a Susanna and having 2 girls by her, both called Susanna (with overlaping dates). Others give Richard and Susanna as dying on the same day. Some give Richard as having children 10 and 15 years after he is said to have died. Many records give his marriage to Sussanna as 22 years after he died.

It seems many researchers are coping incorrect data. A lot more research is needed on this part of the Few family.
