Richard was the son of Carter Marlow and Seletta Bryant found in the 1850 census of Perry County, Illinois.
He married on March 6, 1839, Perry County, Illinois, to Mary Yearian.
They are listed in the 1850 census of Perry County, Illinois. He was a merchant.
In 1860 he was listed as a farmer in the same county.
He served in the 31st Regiment, Illinois Infantry, which was participating in the siege of Vicksburg when he died.
Richard and Mary were married in 1839, their children Frederick and Emily were born in 1841 and 1844, respectively. The Mexican War began in 1846 and Richard volunteered to serve. That he left a wife and two small children to volunteer for service in the Army seems a bit strange. He was wounded at the Battle of Buena Vista but recovered from his wounds and returned home safely. Mary died in 1857 and some time after the onset of the Civil war, Richard once again enlisted in the Union Army. This time his luck ran out, he was killed at Vicksburg on 30 May 1863. His son Frederick also volunteered for the Union Army, was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant, and was promoted once later in the war. He survived, married, and moved to Northern California with his wife Elizabeth Robison and her family. His sister Emily married Calvin Marlow, a distant cousin, they stayed in Perry Co IL.
Richard is memorialized on the monument to his regiment at Vicksburg and is assumed to be buried there.
