I've been following the George W. Richardson e-mail and wanted to ask.... have any of you gotten far enough along in your research to know whether George W. Richardson had a brother Thomas Richardson? My Thomas Richardson was born 1816. He "drifted" until 1853 and he's been impossible to find prior to 1850. Thomas wrote in his journal that he was born in Charleston, SC but we know he didn't stay long. When he finally settled and married in 1861 in East Texas he named his children: James R., John B., William Thomas, Jacob Francis, Wood R. and George W. I know it's far-fetched, but the children's names are my only clues to my Thomas' family. Are any of you missing a Thomas Richardson? Thanks so very much for any help. I'm obviously lost with g-grandpa. I can't find his family anywhere. Amy McCroskie Denver, CO
