Do you know ... that Richardson is the  63rd most popular last name (surname) in the United States with a frequency of 0.112%? (This of course makes it miserable for us to figure out our ancestors in the Richardson clan!)






















INTRODUCTION
Return to the Intro Menu
The Richardson family connects to the DeWitt family via my mother, Mary Frances Richardson.  The purpose of this document is to trace back Mary's family as far as is possible, because we share their genes as well as DeWitt genes.

I offer two methods to view the Richardson information.
  1. If you just want to follow the direct line from a Richardson in Kentucky to Mary Frances Richardson in Missouri, then the Family Line section is just for you.  Please make your choice below:
  2. Each family often has many children and sometimes even multiple spouses.  This is all very interesting and those details are offered in the Individual Family Histories section.
