Hi Ann I'm the one looking for John Richardson Ny or Vt. I appreciate the tip on this John who married Hannah Fairbanks (I've come to think of him as "Sparta John"). I've seen some of this information and it makes my pulse rate increase every time...it is SO CLOSE to what I'm looking for. Calculating from later census records and gravestone, my GG Grandfather John was born in 1799, while the "Sparta John" was c 1794...five years difference but Maybe?? My John, and apparently Sparta John, were variously reported as born in NY or Vt. My John's wife (at least in the later years) was Eunice, rather than Hannah...although there could have been a first marriage?? Curiously, "Clark" was the maiden name of John's wife Eunice...echoing a "Clark" in the data on Sparta John. Both men spent years in New York but my John was in Chautauqua (and possibly Franklin) not Cortland County. Finally, both men wound up in Wisconsin and died within a year of one another, Sparta John in 1875 and my John in 1876. However, they lived and died in very different places: Sparta, Monroe County and Union, Rock County. So, no matter how I wish for it, I just flat can't make it match. Darn. But, as final coincidence, I'll note that I'm also looking for another researcher AND I'm also "in Kansas!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Murphy" <emurphy64@cox.net> To: <RICHARDSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 06, 2005 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [RICHARDSON] Ny - Wii > wasn't some one looking for John Rchardson Ny or Vt > > John Richardson b. abt 1794 Ny or Vt d.10 nov 1875 Sparta, Monroe Co.
