Nancy Richardson

  General Notes:

You are correct that their has been much information about the Richardson's that is wrong. I can send you this information that I know is correct because I have a copy of the marriage bond with signatures.

Joshua Richardson
b.Dec 19, 1762 Bedford Co.Virginia
d. 1847 Macoupin Co. Ill.

Mary "Polly" Burnett
b. May 7, 1774
d. Jan 31, 1854 Macoupin Co, Ill

m. April 18, 1798 Pittsylvania Co. Virginia

One of their children, Nancy Richardson, married Lewis Murphy Bailey from which Suzie and myself decend.

In the circa 1940 somebody paid a professional to trace the Burnett line and they traced in to a place in North Carolina right across the border from Virginia. I thought that was true information and submitted, in the 70's to the Morman PAF Ancentrial file. But it is WRONG and someday needs to be fixed.

Nancy Richardson and Margaret Richardson of the southern Virginia and northern North Carolina as well as Polly seem to get used freely whenever somebody wants to make a connection. I am not at a place in my life now where I can make the time to spend on this work. But I do try to keep up and always like information. I hope this may have helped you.

Sincerely,
Sheldon Hough

Nancy married Lewis M. Bailey on 23 Dec 1823.
