There is a death cert on the Mo SoS site for Robert Richardson dying 11 Apr 1912 but showing his birth date as 28 Apr 1842 (not 23apr1832) and listing parents as Andy Richardson & Mary Jennings (not Jenne). It shows he was buried in the M.O. Cemetery in Hematite.

His wife, Mary, was appointed original administrator, but she relinquished that right, and turned over her husband's probate to be administered by Jonathan Smith. According to probate files on Andrew, James Cundiff was appointed guardian of Andrew's children. James and Mary were married approximately 13 months after Andrew's death. Now, I haven't been able to find James Cundiff in the 1850 census, so I'm not sure if he died. If the Mary Richardson living with Thomas and Isabella Christopher in 1850 is Andrew's widow, then I would assume that Mary and Mr. Cundiff got a quick divorce, or he left her. But again, these are assumptions at this point, as facts need to be found on James Cundiff. I tried to find the maiden name of Isabella Christopher to see if she was related to Mary, but have had no luck. Isabella was married previously before marrying Thomas, and I can't find that marriage record. I would assume Isabella originally was married in Illinois. Hope this has been a little help.

Going through the !840 census I found Andrew (40-50) and a Wife (20-30) plus 2 females -5, there are no sons. In 1840 Robert would have been about 8 yrs. old. I also checked marriage records (internet). I noticed a lot of Richardsons in Franklin and Washington Co's. Am I looking at the wrong Andrew? In 1850 Mary is now living in the home of Thomas and Isabella Christopher and has children: Nancy G.-14, Palina -12, Elizabeth -8, William -5 and Andrew -4. I believe this is the Andrew from the 1840 census. I also found Mary Richardson, who married James Cundiff married him on 8mar1846 in Valle Twnp. so either I have the wrong Mary and James or the wrong Andrew. Can anyone tell me if this Mary and James are his mother and step-father? Any help with Robert's history would be appreciated.
