You mentioned Richardson in Franklin, Ma. I am looking for info on Adoniram J. Richardson (called A.J.) born about 1800 in Ma.......he grew up around Boston.....married Mariah (Maria) Taylor in N.H. .............I believe his son was George Thomas Richardson born in N.H. probably in the 1820's. I do not know where they were in Ma or N.H. They later appear in Eugene, Indiana. George married Malinda Town in Indiana...(.they were my great great grandparents) their daughter Emma F. was born in Vermilion Co., Illinois around 1850.....she married Isaiah Wilson in Vermilion Co......they moved to Missouri ......and eventually they were in Scott Co. Arkansas. A.J. and family also moved to Vermilion Co. Illinois. Census showed that George was a physician. His second wife was Harriett Hall and his third wife was Isabel Henthorn. Gary, by the way, I would never accept from my college students the old excuse that the dog ate my paper.................however we had a new dog and I was rather embarrassed when returning papers to one of my classes when I returned a rather chewed and mangled up paper to one of my students and had to tell him that my DOG REALLY DID IT!!!!!!

Did Adoniram have anything to do with the Harrington & Richardson Firearms Company? I seem to recall that name while I was looking for a family connection with "those" Richardson's. The company was started in the Worcester area, and there are still some of the guns available today, although the Richardson's and Harrington's are no longer involved with the company. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerry & Carolyn Ott<mailto:jc.ott@verizon.net> To: RICHARDSON-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:RICHARDSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 10:09 PM Subject: Re: [RICHARDSON] Re: RICHARDSON-D Digest V05 #11 You mentioned Richardson in Franklin, Ma.
