Hi everyone: I've reached a stone wall (as most of us do in researching our ancestry) in looking for my father's ancestors. My grandfather was Ellis Eugene Richardson, his father was Murry or Murray J. (Jesse?) Richardson b 1855 d 1918 in Nashville. His wife was Eliza Jane Trotter 1861-1906. Murray's sibling were Laura Ann 1850-1925, James Franklin 1852-1900, William 1857-1884, Joseph 1860-1884, John 1864-1884, Polk Dallas 1867--1951 and Lula 1870-?. I was given the name of their father by a distant cousin as John W. Richardson 1826-1880 who married Paralee Merryman 1878-?. I have substantial information of John W's descendants but can find little about John W and Paralee. The 1850 TN census shows a John W. living in Nashville with the correct age. I can find nothing else about him. Any information or suggestions would be appreciated. Will glad share my info. Thanks, and have a Happy Thanksgiving. Ronnie Richardson
