Dear rbr911 and Listers, Maybe George W. Richardson born approx. 1815 is a brother to my Thomas Richardson born Oct. 1816. G-grandpa Thomas vanished into thin air until 1850 where he mysteriously appeared in Rankin County, MS "drifting" and working as a laborer on the F.H.C. Dent farm. I believe my Thomas had a brother, father or other male member of the family named George. Also John, James and Jacob and/or Frances. Just a hunch, but I think it's a good one. Rbr911, maybe we should talk? Amy McCroskie Denver, CO
