I found the same marriage information regarding Franklin in Versailles. I believe that my
grandfather, Robert and your great grandfather Franklin were brothers. My Dad, who has
passed away and whose name was also Robert, said that his Dad, Robert E had three brothers
(Frank, Bert and ?) that he knew of and one sister, Laura. I have found that my
grandfather's the middle initial and name has changed over the years. I believe(but
have not been able to prove) that my grandfather's middle initial of "E"
probably stood for Erwin but the spelling changed to Irwin and then the name changed to
Irvine and now to Irvin. My grandfather, Robert married Annie C.E (Catherine
Elizabeth)Berry in Wheeling, West Virginia on 07/07/1909. Robert was 24 and Annie was 18.
They had three childern, Laura, Kathryn and Robert, Jr.(my dad).My grandfather died of 3rd
degree burns on March 3, 1938. He was caught in an gasoline explosion at a gas station in
Madisionville, a suburb of Cincinnati. M!
y father, Robert Jr, married Ruth Hunter in 1938. They were unable to have children but
adopted my brother, Robert III and myself, Pamela.
Most of these folks have passed away. My Aunt Laura, who we called Aunt Dee died in 1954,
my grandmother died in 1965, My father and Aunt Kay died in 1994 and my brother Robert III
passed away last year, 2007.
For what ever reason my family did not associate with the Richardson side of the family
after my grandfather's death and I don't think my dad knew very much about the
Richardson family. He did always think that there was some American Indian blood on that
side of the family but I have not had time to go back and do more research on the
Richardson's in Indiana.
Also, my Dad did tell me he thought Frank was a stone artist of some kind and did columns
and statue work in Columbus Ohio. I don't know if that is true or not but it is
interesting.
I would like to know if you find out anything else about the Richardson-Ogden side of the
family. I hope this gives you some additional information about the Richardsons. Thanks
for replying to my Query.
