Documentation for John G. Richardson and Mary C. [...]


Family Record

According to the 1900 census, Mary C. [...] had given birth to 11 children, 10 of whom were living as of the 1900 census. Based on the spacing of the births of the living children, approximately 2 years apart, it appears that the deceased child may have been born around 1863. If so and because that child is not mentioned in the 1870 census, it likely died before 1870.
