City Mills was once known as Richardson Mills, and the two Richardson Homesteads (from adjacent farms, owned by brothers) are both standing, albeit in somewhat modified condition, to this day.

From John of England to Stephen Wilkes Richardson, you will find them listed in the John of Medfield section of JA Vinton's "Richardson Memorial". A grandson of John Warren Richardson filled in many of the dates for the descendants of John Warren, and brought the genealogy current through the 11th generation. > > > > Gary Allen Richardson > > Warwick, RI (about a 45 minute drive from Franklin, MA) > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Clois Richardson<mailto:cloisrich@earthlink.net> > > To: RICHARDSON-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:RICHARDSON-L@rootsweb.com> > > Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 11:27 AM > > Subject: Re: [RICHARDSON] Fw: Allen Richardson > > > > I have at least two Allen Richardsons in my files.
