Lisa, I thought I'd run through Greene County marriage indexes to check for your Richardson girls. Below is what I found. I'm not sure how helpful it will be, though.
Richardson, Albert to Mary Ray 12 Sep 1880(?) L 86/88(?)
Richardson, Sinda to Earl Bowen(?) 5 Jan 1905 Q 136/138(?)
The index is hard to read in some spots because of the typeface used at the time it was done (1930s). The names were fairly clear except for the groom in the 2nd entry I found. I hope, though, this info will be helpful in some way.

I have collected some information on these families, primarily from SKOMP researchers with ancestors linked to my wife's MYERS family in Daviess County ; and from MACKALL descendant Ann Blackmore Key's OUR HOOSIER ANCESTORS [2002].
While not directly related to these families , there is a personal connection. My mother was a life-long friend of Freida Geddes Miller. They grew up together in Bloomfield and were best friends. Before her death, Freida gave my mother a wooden mixing bowl that belonged to her grandmother, Sarah Ellen Mackall Geddes. As young girls, they had watched her make pies with it. When my mother died in 2003, it came into my possession.
Email me directly and I will forward copies of the information that I have and the last email address that I have for Ann Blackmore Key.

My interest in Alma Morris Murphy was to find her husband "Richard Murphy" and son Ira Murphy. The last info I have on them is finding Alma in 1910 Greene Co census-- she says she's married-- but no Richard or Ira with her. I think her parents were also in Greene Co/ 1910.
