My Richardson family all lived in and around Carroll Co. from around 1851-52 and I'm sure some descendents are still in the area. My oldest ancestor "Richardson" was Samuel K. Richardson who census says was born in 1806 in GA. (unknown county) appeared on the Tax Roll of Carroll CO. AR. in 1853. The next 3 and 4 generations were born in Carroll CO. Samuel also had a brother Thomas L. Richardson that moved to Franklin and Jefferson Co. at the same time as Samuel each brother raised large families. they were inter-married to many of the common names of the Carroll Co. Area. I do not know if they were related to other Richardson in the area. there was John and William and Joseph Richardson, and others as well. Mine came (born in ) Georgia but census says their parents (unknown) were born in NC. I know my Richardson spent a lot of time in Roane, McMinn, Bradley Co's of TN and perhaps other co's as well. Samuel Married twice both wives were from Roane CO. TN. I recently tried to contact a Blaine Richardson that lives in Harrison, AR. who carries a family name of Blaine but have not been able to contact him,! in hope of finding new data on my Richardson family. Any help on this Richardson family is greatly appreciated.
