  2.   Rich, Evelyn. "Richard Rich of Eastham on Cape Cod and Some of His Descendants", NEHGR, vol. 93, p. 396, also gives this family a son Isaiah. His baptism is found in Truro Church Records, MD, Vol. 27,p. 20, bp. 26 Aug 1764, but the father is listed as "Zaccheus Rich", not "Zaccheus Rich Jun'r" as for Jane and Apphia, the children that fall just before and just after him in birth order. Plus, his baptism (note: not birth!) is only 8 months before Apphia's baptism. All this is enough to raise doubts whether he belongs in this family, or the family of Zaccheus Sr., whose previous and otherwise last child was born 1762. Either way he apparently died young. If the article is correct, it suggests he "d. probably before 1790" (significance not explained). If the article is wrong, he probably died before 1772, since the will of Zaccheus Sr. is said to have named his 11 children, and this apparently didn't include Isaiah.
