Hi Martha: Nancy Richardson m. Jacob Anderson is the daughter of Jesse Richardson. Jesse Richardson is the son of Jonathan Richardson who departed this life in 1773. The LWT Of Jonathan Richardson is index in the Probate records of Bedford County, VA under date 24 May 1773. This Jonathan Richardson, who was resident in Maryland for some little time, was twice married; first about 1745 to Elizabeth Taylor, daughter of Henry Taylor and Sarah; and, secondly to Anne, on 2 October, 1759 in St. Johns, Maryland. He had by his first wife, Elizabeth Taylor, a son, Joseph Richardson b. ~1745 Loudon County, VA - d. 1817 Rockingham, NC married Sarah Compton in the year 1769 in Loudon Co., VA. By his wife Anne, Jonathan Richardson had the following children: Mary, Nancy, Aimy, Jesse, Thomas and Amos. The latter being Amos Richardson who married in South Carolina Susannah Smith and then settled in Elbert County, GA where he raised his family. Amos Richardson was a RWS. He left home at an early age and twice enlisted in the Revolutionary armies. Amos states in his RWS pension application that he was born in Loudon County, VA 18 September, 1764. He died 15 January, 1847 at his home in Elberton, Elbert County, GA. I seem to recall that the Hart Co., GA DAR erected a memorial in his memory at the cemetery where he is buried, which today, lies in Hart County, GA. Jesse was born ~1760 and departed this life in McCrackin, KY on 26 October 1839. Jonathan Richardson removed with his family from Maryland to Loudon County, VA. After some years there he removed to Bedford County, He signed a petition in either Bedford or Henry Co. VA in favor of the formation of a new county in Virginia to be called Franklin. Many researchers confuse the family of this Jonathan Richardson with another, namely Jonathan Richardson, a Quaker, who married 2 October, 1706 Catherine Conway, at All Hallows Church in Anne Arundel County, MD where their son John was christened. Jonathan Richardson and Catherine Conway moved from Maryland to Prince William Co., VA about 1730/1. Jonathan Richardson m. Catherine Conway departed this life in Fairfax Co., VA in the year 1745. In his LWT, Jonathan Richardson of Fairfax names his living children: John, Thomas, Mary (md. Mr. Gaskin), David and Amos Richardson, not to be confused with the aforementioned Amos Richardson b. 1764 Loudon Co., VA. In 1749, the sons, Amos, David, Aaron, Abraham and Thomas, sold land in Fairfax and moved to Bedford Co., VA. At one time, there was resident in Bedford Co., VA three men named Amos Richardson. And it is almost impossible to keep for mixing up the two Jonathan 's who were resident in Bedford. Hope this bit of information helps. Happy Hunting, DeLores
