Hi Mary,
You had asked at one point how I was related to John L. Richardson and Austa T. Ellington. John and Austa had a son named William M Richardson who had a son named William Howard Richardson...I am his grand-daughter. This would make John and Austa my GGG Grandparents.

Mary,
John's father was Abraham Richardson, born ca. 1808 in Ohio and his mother was Phebe Hart, born ca. 1825 in Kentucky. They married 8/8/1844 in Fannin Co., Tx (http://www.censusdiggins.com/fanninmgsr.html). Phebe was Abraham's 2nd wife, first wife is unknown. He is mentioned in the 1850 Milam County Tx Census (http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/milam/census/1850/0011a...) as Abram Richardson. John had 7 half brothers/sisters and 4 brothers and sisters. Abraham and Phebe's parents are still unknown to us at present.

Peter
Thank you for the information. Please email me personally at adunits@pair.com

I am very interested in this Abraham/Abram Richardson. I am missing an Abram Richardson from my family that appears on a land record in Franklin Co., Tn. My Richardson family went Fannin Co., Texas and then settled in Travis Co., Tx. which is a hop away from McLennan Co. Abraham birth date fits in with my Amos Richardson b. 1807.

I need help finding the line of Morgan LaFayette Alexander, my GGGGrandfather through Molly Catherine.There should be many Alexanders in West TX., especially McLennan. Morgan LaFayette, brn 1825 presumably TN. Married Susan B. Cowden, 1833, TN.
First born John Brandon, brn 1848, TN.
William Park, 1851 McLennan Co, TX
Molly Catherine, 1854 McLennan Co, TX
Lawson, 1856 McL. Co, TX
Laura, 1856 McL. Co,TX
Benjamine LaFayette,1859 McL. Co, TX
Betty Cowden, 1861, McL. Co, TX.
My last resort is to find someone in the Alexander line that still lives in McLennan Co. TX to help with records, family and acquaintances. Can you help me or can you point me to someone who can. I have searched through all of the Alexander names over the internet from TN. and surrounding states.. I hope you are from McLennan Co.If you are this may be interesting. I have a 1918 college yearbook from Mary- Baylor College. It was my Grandmothers, Thelma Griffin. If you know anyone who may want a photo of a family member who attended there I am willing to enlarge and send to them. Thanks for listening.

This is my line and I will be glad to help where I can. My mom is still alive and remembers Aunt Mollie and Grandfather Ben Lafayette's family. She has been an invaluable help to me. Brandon Alexander is the father of Morgan Lafayette, we know because of a picture from Ben's daughter, Lou. David Alexander and I both have his picture on our family trees. I also just put Moses Parks picture on mine also.
