Was there an Emma Ella Mae? in this Richardson family?
She married John Henry Harrison and I was told that she was Cherokee.

I am looking for information about Charles Richardson who applied for
naturalization in Pike Co. on 16 Aug. 1855. He became a citizen in Daviess
Co., Indiana, on 18 April 1860 in Daviess Co. He states that he sailed from
Liverpool, England, and came into the United States at New Orleans.
On 22 Oct. 1855, Charles Richardson married Mary Dickson in Daviess Co. I
think
this is the same Charles. Does anyone have access to marriage records
who could see what information was provided on the bond/record?
I am trying to determine if this Charles is the same as my
great-great-grandfather
who was born in England on 7 Feb. 1834, stowed away
on a ship that arrived at New Orleans (date unknown), and served in the
Union Army for the 97th Indiana Volunteer Infantry (Co. B) enlisting on 20
Aug. 1862. He served until the war ended, being discharged in June 1865. He
married my great-great-grandmother, America Maggie Meredith sometime around
1866. She might have been born in Indiana. (She is listed in 1860 Nelson Co.
census, though.) Charles and America/Maggie were living in Nelson Co., Ky.,
at least from 1868 until she died 8 Feb. 1879. He remarried to Naomi Ann
Graham on 8 March 1879 and Charles died in Bardstown, Nelson Co. on 5 April
1886. Naomi, her three children, and her stepdaughter moved to Wabash,
Indiana by about 1887.
Any help in determining if the Charles of Pike and Daviess counties is the
same as
mine would be appreciated. If so, I am wondering what happened to
Mary and the two children (ages 6 and 1) who were living with Charles and
Mary in the 1860 Daviess Co. census. Did Charles desert them after the war?
Is Mary Dickson Richardson found in later census records? (I'll also be
posting this query to the Pike Co. message board.)
