Richard never knew his father, James Redden Abercrombie, as he died in 1869, just prior to his birth in Perry County, Alabama.
Richard and my great-grandfather, John Thomas Abercrombie, came to Texas together in the 1880's. Richard returned to Alabama, married Buenavista Fuller on 10 Jan 1894 in Perry County, Alabama, and then went back to Texas with his new bride. He bought or built a Boarding House on Groesbeck in Lufkin, Texas for which he was proprietor until his death Following his death, his niece, my grandmother, Martha Ethel Abercrombie Cook bought the hotel from his wife Buena. It became the "Cook's Hotel".
"Richard", as he was called by his family was very close to his brother, John, who lived in Leggett with his children. Following his brother's death in 1930, Richard and Bueno remained very close to John's eleven children.
One of his brother's children was named after him - Richard Edwin Abercrombie who lived to be 97 years of age and died in 2012 in Livingston, Texas.
