Happy New Year to one and all:
Still looking for my lost great grandfather: John D. Richardson, b.June
12, 1850, Lafayette, Tippecaone Co, IN. Parents, Robert Richardson,
mother Catherine Russell. Parents may have been from the east. John
married Elizabeth Catherine
Harriff (?spelling) in Middletown, OH on Sept. 18, 1870. Elizabeth was
a Native American, tribal name White Feather.
She was born in Hill Grove, Darke Co. OH.
Shortly after marriage they moved to Wolf Lake, Noble Co. IN, where four
children were born William Robert, 12/26/1871
Charles, 01/10/1873 ; John Wesley 12/13/1874 (my grandfather), and Mary
Catherine 10/04/1877.
Shortly thereafter they moved to Waldton, (now Aroma Park) IL. where
five more children were born, Clara Ester 03/11/1884, Elizabeth Loise
05/20/1885, George Issac 04/24/1887 and Frank Leslie 03/11/1890.
Elizabeth Catherine died 02/22/1895 in Waldron. John then married
Airibell Shumake on 11/03/1895. John died in Marseilles, IL on
12/02/1930. and Airibell (Bell) on 08/22/1922.
Any information on John D. and his parents would be greatly
appreciated. The surname Kimmell (spelling?) may enter into this some
place.
