Susan (Putnam) Richardson died 12 Jan 1895 in Ozark, Franklin Co. In 1908, 13 years after her death, an admin was appointed and from this we learn which of her children are still alive and where they are each living.

Any idea why it took 13 years to administer her estate?
Do you have spouses for each of the children that you can share with us?
What is your source for the names and exact birthdates?
By the way I think it likely that Sarah Jane Richardson lied about her age, her brother William P is already in the 1850 so he could not have been born in 1850, more likely 1849, which would then bump Sarah up to an older age than she claims.

An older relative who had done a lot of research on the Richardson line gave me the dates for the children of Edmund Richardson. He is no longer living, so I can't ask him where he got them. I have no idea why there was a thirteen year gap between Susan's death and administration of her estate. Sorry
Would you mind sharing the information from her probate records?
Thank you
