I am listing the following information in hopes of making a connection and filling in the blanks for someone else. If you have information related to anyone on my NC Richardson list, please contact me. Joyce Honeycutt Holman (Researching Honeycutt, Simpson, Baucom, Richardson, Price, Medlin, Orr, Weddington, Robbins, Mewborn, Parrot, Jenkins, Helms, Whitley, Presler, Williams, Ogburn, Edwards, Rowell, Clontz, Holman, Winchester, Wolfe, Crowell, Mullis, Rogers, Broome, Marlin, and others.) Edward Richardson, Sr. (This information came from combined research by Belinda S. Sims and Lillie Richardson Hearn completed on or about 1992. My ancestors are noted in bold print.) Edward Richardson is said to have been born in Roanoke Virginia in 1751(*d. 1798) and came to North Carolina around 1772. He settled on the head waters of Richardson Creek, which was named for him. He was married more than twice. Some research indicated that he was married to Sally Pierce and also to Polly Mason. Another possible marriage was to Catherine Bassinger, although there is no proof of any of his marriages. (* Edward Richardson left a will in Mecklenburg Co., which is not dated, but the date of death [1798] is confirmed because there is a transfer of a deed recorded in Mecklenburg Co. which states that Edward Richardson is deceased. In his will he named his children: Edward, George, Mason, Brinkley, Thomas, and his two daughters, Sally and Betsy. Edward Richardson,Sr., buried in Bethlehem Church Cemetery in Union County, NC, which is located about 10 miles south of Monroe on the Lancaster Highway.
