I believe we've had about 15 John Richardson's in "a row", starting with John of Medfield, and ending with a father and son team, John and John Richardson in Boulder, CO. Along the way, many of the offshoots of the direct line also had John's, so you're right, that may be the single most popular name for Richardson males in the States. We did have a branch of the MA family that moved to VT, by the way. I'm thinking that "my" Seth may have been one of them, as I did not trace his line any further, as yet. Will take your previous letter, and see if I can come up with a connection. Gary Richardson
