- His Nevves from Virginia. The lost flocke triumphant. With the happy arriuall of that famous and worthy knight Sr. Thomas Gates: and the well reputed & valiant captaine Mr. Christopher Newporte, and others, into England, 1610:t.p. (R. Rich, Gent. one of the voyage)
- Oxford DNB [via www, 23 Nov 2009](Rich, Richard (fl. 1610), adventurer and author, has been linked to various members of the illustrious Rich family; possibly a younger son of Edward Rich of Horndon, or a brother of Robert Rich (d. c.1646), master in chancery, or the third son of Sir Edwin Rich, who was half-brother of Robert Rich, earl of Warwick (d. 1619), or related to Barnabe Rich; one early biographer's claim that he was the illegitimate son of Richard Rich, first Baron Rich (1496/7-1567), and father of Sir Nathaniel Rich (c.1585-1636), now appears mistaken; all that is known for certain is that Rich was the author of a small tract, written in verse, describing his voyage to Bermuda and Virginia in 1610)
