Spouse: Shiffra Richelson
Children:
The sons took the name Richels in the U.S.
In the Memorandum Book of the Province of Vilno for 1890, (in Russian) there is a listing for M. Reikherson which is plausibly close to Richelson allowing for the usual problems with multiple alphabets and languages. His address is given as: house of Kletskii, Disnenskii Lane.
David Pogal informs us that his great3-grandfather Moses Reicherson of Vilna was Morris Rachelson on his daughter's death certificate. Some of the descendants changed their name to Richardson. We do not know if this is the same line.
