Coriantum and Com
Coriantum was a righteous king who followed the pattern of his righteous father. His reign must have been a happy time to live among the Jaredites. For all I know Com was following in the footsteps of Coriantum by his reign was cut short by the rebellion and usurpation of his son.

Omer and Emer
We aren’t specifically told that Omer was righteous but he was enough in tune with the Spirit that he was warned in a dream when his life was in danger from a secret combination.

Kib, Shule, and Others

Ether 13 Ether knew of Jerusalem despite the fact that the Jaredites left that hemisphere before it was even known by that name (it would have been Salem when they left ). I have the feeling that despite his shortcomings Coriantumr was probably among the most righteous men among the Jaredites of his time.
