I have been researching the RICHARDSON families of Henry County, Virginia for more years that I care to admit, and have accumulated quite a bit of information on them. Most all of my information comes from county or court records and is accompanied by citations. Martha Agness Richardson was one of four known children of Arthur Richardson and Mary Jane Fleeman and the granddaughter of the progenitor of all Richardson born in Henry County. Martha Agness Richardson was born 14 Dec. 1840, Henry County, Va. I have not been able to find her date of death in the Henry County or associated cemetery records. After reading your query, I assume she moved to Missouri. Is she the Martha A. Edge listed in the 1880 census of Linn, Cedar Co., Missouri with her daughter, Martha Pea, Age 16? Anyway, Martha Agness Richardson married 5 Dec. 1858, Henry Co., to Samuel Hill Peay. My information from two different sources shows he was born circa 1836, Rockingham County, N.C. He died 30 March 1865, in that notorious federal prison in Elmira, N. Y. He served as a Sergeant in Company F, Leatherwood Fencibles, 42nd Va. Infantry Regt., C.S.A. As far as I can determine, Samuel and Martha Agness (Richardson) Peay had three children, two of whom died young. If you would like to exchange information, including the all important accompanying documentation, please contact me directly at the following e-mail address: [email protected] Notice that there is only one letter W in the widowmaker part of this address. I would love to hear from you regarding your information on this family, especially the citations that support the family record. I can take Martha Agness Richardson back two generations.
