Welcome.
These pages are primarily a genealogy site dedicated to the descendants of Abraham Richardson. Abraham or Abram was born about 1808 in Ohio according to the 1850 Milam Co., Tx. census. On his migration from Ohio to Texas, Abraham resided in Missouri for several years, where his first children were born. In 1844 Abraham remarried Phebe Hart in Fannin Co., Tx., before reaching his final homestead near Valley Mills, McLennan Co., Tx.
Research on Abraham's parents and their origin is still in process, but with little hope and success at the time. The major reason for maintaining this site is to approach fellow hobby genealogists and family members investigating and interested in this specific lineage. Certainly many people are researching without knowledge of other co-researchers.
