The message below is from Mary Beth Graf, president of the California Historical Soc. in California, PA. I don't think the info listed below is for your family, but she mentions that they were starting a folder for the surname. Possibly she has added to it. I will do another search for at the newspaper archive website I subscribe to and see if anything new might be there on your family.

Washington Reporter, May 26, 1869 Harrison RICHARDSON was one of the executors of the estate of Samuel COLE, deceased, late of West Pike Run township. 2. We have several RICHARDSON obituaries on file at the Society: Olive Jane (Springer) RICHARDSON, 89, died at her son's home (W. R. RICHARDSON), in Alliance, Ohio on October of 1960. Her husband was Charles William RICHARDSON. Mrs. Elizabeth D. (Bigler) RICHARDSON, 92, of Bentleyville (Washington County), died September 30, 1950. Does not mention her husband's name. Mrs. Ruth (Crumrine) RICHARDSON, widow of J. Elliott RICHARDSON, died June 1, 1945, in Bentleyville. She was 82 years old. Amelia Anna RICHARDSON, aged 68, wife of S. W.
