I have recently joined this list and this is my first posting. I have been working on my genealogy since 1992; took time off from it for approximately 4 yrs. or so & have gotten back into my genealogy about 3 months ago. I have searched the "Richardson" List archives from present date to 1999 to see if I could find some sort of U.S. connection for my "Richardson's" to no avail. My Richardson Line: My gr-gr-grandfather - Philip Richardson b:approx. 1813 - Upper Canada, Lennox County, Ontario m: Nancy PARKS/PARKE (b:4 June, 1823, Fredricksburgh Twp., Lennox & Addington Co., Upper Canada, Ontario) married approx. 1842/43, (I am assuming they were married in Lennox & Addington County, Ontario; though I have not yet found a Marriage Registration / Marriage entry. The lineage of Nancy PARKS/PARKE is well documented on Rootsweb.com as she is the granddaughter of Cyrenius PARKE UE. Philip RICHARDSON & Nancy PARKS/PARKE had issue of: -Sarah Ann: b: approx. 1843, Lennox Co., Ontario; -James b: 31 Jan., 1848, Lennox Co., Ontario; Elias Nathaniel: b: 5 Apr., 1853(?) Lennox Co., Ontario; Mary Milisa: b: 22 June, 1849, Lennox Co., Ontario; Adalinda Jane: b:approx. 1851 Lennox Co., Ontario; John G.: b: approx. 1855, Lennox Co., Ontario; Elizabeth: b: 16 Nov., 1861(?), Lennox Co., Ontario; *Joseph Milo: b: 19 Sept., 1860, Fredricksburgh, Lennox Co., Ontario. *Denotes my gr-grandfather. I have the Philip RICHARDSON/Nancy PARKS/PARKE family in the 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 Census'. (Upper Canada, Canada West) Philip RICHARDSON: d: 27 Dec., 1898, Hillier Twp., Prince Edward Co., Ontario, Canada; Nancy PARKS/PARKE RICHARDSON changed her first name to JANE in the 1891 Census; d: 1896, Hillier Twp., Prince Edward Co., Ontario, Canada; Philip & Nancy are buried at Bowerman's McFaul Cemetery, Hillier Twp., Prince Edward Co., Ontario, Canada. I for the life of me have not been able to find Philip's siblings and parents; It is quite possible that Philip is the younger brother of ASA JR. RICHARDSON (m: Mary(?) who had issue of: John, Michael, Margarett Jane, James, Rebecca, Thomas & Jacob (re: 1851 Census Fredricksburgh Twp., District 5, (either Lennox & Addington Co. or Prince Edward Co.), Ontario, Canada. I have quite alot of info on the children of Philip & Nancy RICHARDSON. I would appreciate any opinions, thoughts, ideas whatsoever!! I thank you so very much.
