Richard Howard Heard was my Great Grandfather. We've been searching for more information on his Parents. It's well known that his father was one of the Heard Brothers and our old family rumors suggest John Heard. However, more recently, after having DNA done, we have found a common ancestor that suggests Albert Heard and his protected woman (Lam Kew Fong) may be Richard Howard Heard's parents.
I do not think it's possible that Alice Heard (Leeds) is the mother of Richard. She would only have been 14 or 15 when he was born. There was a gap of 7 years before John & Alice's next child was born in the USA. Richard was born in Macau. Alice was born in New York. Is there any evidence that her family was in Macau when she was a teenager? We are very interested in finding out more about our Great Great Grandparents. We have documentation that John & Alice were married in 1867.
I am interested in knowing where you got information that Richard was known as "Harrie". Also, we cannot find where John Heard's middle name was Vestol. Our family has been trying to find out more information for years so anything you can share would be GREATLY appreciated.
