I've been having some problems with getting online at my home computer, so am sending this from work. My Mother was Mary Faye Richardson, her brother was Clay (her favorite). Is your mothe Skippy? I hav not had the time to work the family tree for the past couple of years (job), I ran into problems with Grandma Richardson's side, she was reportedly 1/2 Osage; I believe her father to be Perry Helton but can not find reference to her mother who would have been full indian. I have been able to get the "family" back to VA, KY and TN through a variety of names (HELTON, CRISMON, CAPPS and others) in the early 1700's. I'm at work and don't have access to my records, if interested you can contact me at 360-372-2874 home, 360-340-3176 cell or 360-692-2023 work. My work e-mail is jegan@corrpro.com. We have a couple of other cousins pursuing the search, most notably Linda Kovarik in Edwardsville, IL Jim Egan
