Dear Jan, Yes, I have a line of Richardsons that were in Louisiana in the early to mid 1800's. My Daniel Richardson (Senior) was in Culpepper, VA. He and his wife Prudence Leatherlin ended up with sons that were in Hancock County, GA. In fact, I venture to say all the Hancock County, GA Richardsons were "mine" one way or another. We are somehow connected with the WOMACK line there, just haven't figured it out yet. One of their sons, Enoch Richardson and wife Mary Harris are my direct ancestors. Enoch's son, James A. Richardson and his wife Rachel Young ended up in Washington Parish, Louisiana. Augustus, another son, also ended up in Washington Parish as well as Enoch (junior). James A. Richardson, wife Rachel Young and their children and brother Augustus ended up in Missouri until James died, then Rachel and one of their sons went to Trinity County, TX where they lived for the remainder of their lives and where they are buried. Enoch (junior) and George ended up over in St. Helena Parish, LA which later became Livingston Parish. Another son, Samuel Richardson ended up over in Rankin County, MS on a large plantation. I don't recognize your Richardson names but they could very well be part of this line. I will go back through all my records to see if I have them and let you know. I'm also not aware of any of my line in St. James Parish, but again, could be. I will look for you and get back as soon as possible. The Priestley name does sound familiar but I have few brain cells left this time of day. LOL I'll look it up before I jump in with an answer on that one. Thanks for writing! Amy McCroskie Denver, CO

Hello Amy, I sure am interested in your Richardson line in GA. I have been looking for my great-great grandfather Samuel Richardson for some time: This is what I have for him. Info has been gathered from 1850,1860,& 1870 Census of Carroll CO. AR. Samuel (K ? ) Richardson born around 1806 in GA. m. Elizabeth Jane (unknown) born ca.1832 in TN. m. date ca. 1848-49 Their first child: #1.M. Cornealy Richardson b.ca.1849-50 GA. [ Samuel Richardson had connection with the Maples of Sevier CO. TN. his son Seaman later married Sarah Maples d/o Americus B. Maples. Some of the Maples and Samuel Richardson moved to Carroll Co. AR. approx the same time before 1852, Both Maples and Richardson are in the 1860 census] 2. Frances A. Richardson b. ca. 1852 in Carroll CO. AR. 3. Orlena Richardson b. ca. 1854 not in 1870 census 4. Seaman B. Richardson b. 1-29-1858 Carroll CO. AR. d. 7-2-1943 (same) m. Sarah Malinda Maples b. and d. in Carroll CO. AR. 5. James L. Richardson b.ca.1861 AR. 6. Erimie F. Richardson b.ca.1862 AR. 7. Nancy Elizabeth Richardson b. ca. 1866 AR. m. 4-30-1882 to J. W. Wells 8. Joseph B. Richardson b. ca. 1869 AR. m. 12-31-1890 to R.L. Haynes All my mother's and father's people came from the same area of N.&S C. VA. GA. TN. MS. KY. and either moved to AR. and then to TX, or stayed in AR. I do not have any county in GA. that he might be from. In the 1880 census Samuel is listed as 72 years old, b.in GA. and both parents born in NC. Would appreciate any hope of connection to the Richardson line in GA.
