My ancestors Samuel Harvey Richesin and Sarah Buttram lived in McMinn County after they married on 9 OCT 1866. Samuel was the son of Jesse Richesin and Dolly Robertson of Monroe County and Sarah was the daughter of Heil Buttram and Mary Hurt of McMinn County. Before his marriage Samuel Richesin and his parents lived in an area of Monroe County which was very near the McMinn and Roane County lines. His father owned some property in McMinn County too. Jane Bilderback, the widow of Martin Bilderback, married Samuel's father Jesse Richesin after Jesse's wife died in the early 1860's. After Jesse's death in 1872 she sold her share of his land to some of his heirs. She was living in McMinn County at the time of the 1880 census as Jane Richardson age 66. With her was her sister Nancy Tolit age 71. What was Jane Bilderback Richardson's maiden name? Who were her parents? Who is the James Richardson who had a wife named Harriet and whose will was in the 1825 McMinn County records? Barbara Richardson Cantrell
