How old was poor Richard? I mean, where in the family does he rank?
As per ch. 6, the Musgroves lost him before his twentieth year, and the news worked its way to Uppercross two years ago. I seem to count Capt. Wentworth as having the Laconia in 1807, but Dick did not die under his care.
He is obviously not the oldest, but there is a certain number of years between Charles and Henrietta, so, I would guess Dick Musgrove fits in somewhere there?
What does everyone else think? Can anyone else feel certain that they have placed him?
