Does anyone know more about his Richardson family? His wife is my first cousin, once removed and I just sent her obit a few minutes ago. Pacific, MO is just west of St. Louis along I-44. His father was a minister of Baptist church according to the 1940 census for Travis Twp, Madison County, MO. His parents, William J. and Helen Richardson were living in St. Louis, MO in the 1930 census and only married a couple of years. William says his father was born in IL so I wonder if he's related to any of the Richardson families from Wayne and/or Jefferson Co., IL.
