Looking at the 1790 census, William Richardson, fannet twp. Franklin co.; lists a household with three males over 16 yrs, one male under 16yrs, and five females. The 1800 census for the same location lists one males aged 16-25 yrs., three males under 16, one female under 25 and one less than 10yrs. It looks like the elder William may have left to live elsewere? and the his son William remained? The age of the younger William matches the William Richardson who appaers in Shirly twp. Huntindon co. on the 1810 census. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

A number of others have his birth date as 1838 as well. However, that has him being born after his father's death by a year. I'm not sure where the 1838 birth date is being obtained. I just wanted to mention this so that others can correct the 1838 birth date. I would be happy to discuss this further through e-mail contacts.

I believe the first query concerned Harris Richardson. When my gggrandmother Catherine E. Fleming Montague died in 1884, gggrandfather, William Henry Harrison Montague named Judge Richardson as guardian of his underaged children in Orphan's Court documents. Harris was the son of the William and and Catherine Kyper Richardson of an earlier posting. Barb in BC Commemorative Biographical Encyclopedia of The Juniata Valley, comprising of the Counties of Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata, and Perry, Pennsylvania, 1897, page 273: "Harris Richardson, farmer, Sarah, Penn Township, was born in McConnelstown, Pennsylvania, September 4, 1833, son of William and Catharine (Kyper) Richardson. His father was of Scotch-Irish descent, and was a native of Huntingdon County. His life was spent in farming and in keeping hotel. He also paid some attention to the business of auctioneering. His wife was born in Harts Love Valley. Their children were: Thomas, deceased, who fought in the Mexican and Civil Wars; Margaret, deceased, wife of William ENYEART, of Indiana; Mary J. (Mrs. Samuel Shell), of Grantville; Rebecca (Mrs. David Jones), of Logansport, Indiana; Rachel and Eliza, deceased twins; Harris, of Sarah, Pennsylvania; William, of Altoona; Catharine A. (Mrs. D. Wiley), of Iowa. Mr. Richardson was a staunch Democrat. For eleven years he served as constable of Hopewell Township. He was a lover of good horses. His death occurred about 1837, and that of his wife in 1892. Harris Richardson received his primary instruction in the public schools of Hopewell Township. At the early age of four he was bound out with John Detweiler, of Lincoln (then Hopewell) Township, and worked on the farm without remuneration until he was twenty-one years of age. In 1844 he moved to Fulton County and rented a farm of 72 acres, on which he remained until 1865. During this period he was afflicted with white swelling and lost the heel of the left foot. Returning to Huntingdon County, he bought a farm of 100 acres, to which he soon added 22 acres, improved the same by the erection of various buildings, and remained there eighteen years. Subsequently he bought 300 acres of land in Penn Township, and also a flour-mill known as the James Creek mill property. He has since sold the mill to Joseph Grubb, and has disposed of all but 120 acres of the farm. He owns also a farm in Lincoln Township, on which his son resides. In Fulton County Mr. Richardson was inspector of elections. For two years he served as constable in Lincoln Township. He was a candidate for the position of director of the poor in 1869, and in 1871 was elected justice of the peace, which position he held thirteen years. While in this office he officiated at the marriage of seventeen couples. In 1871 he was elected director of the poor for three years. He was chosen supervisor in 1873, and the following year was elected assessor and school director of Lincoln Township. From 1880 to 1883 he served as school director, and was again elected in 1884 for three years. He was elected county treasurer in 1881 for a term of three years, and performed the duties with honor to himself and satisfaction to the public. For fourteen years he was treasurer of the school board of Lincoln Township. He was judge of elections in 1884. He was chosen constable of Penn Township in 1889, and in the same year was paster and folder in the State Senate at Harrisburg, where he spent one hundred and ten days. In addition, Mr. Richardson has been assessor of Penn Township three years, mercantile appraiser of Huntingdon County, and has been elected county auditor for a term of three years. Harris Richardson was married December 31, 1854, near Warfordsburg, Fulton County, Pennsylvania, to Sarah, daughter of Baltzer Hendershot. Their children are: Susan; John T.; Sarah C. (Mrs. Henry J. Boyer); Isabella (Mrs, David Frederick), Blair County; Mary J. (Mrs. L. B. Garner), Smithfield Township; Isiah L.; Maggie A.; Ida M. (Mrs. J. G. Goswell), Tod Township; Martha (Mrs. Ellsworth Dell), Grantville; and one who died in infancy. Although compelled to pass one-third of his life on crutches, Mr. Richardson has worked hard, and with the tender assistance and hearty co0operation of his estimable wife, has achieved an enviable degree of success."
