I love what you are doing. Family history is so much fun. First, welcome, cousin! We must have the same family members on down to Amos.
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog when I was looking for more information of Nathaniel Hadlock Richardson. All I have for him is the vital stats for him and his wife Mary, and for their children. I have that he was a ship's carpenter in Stonington (Green's Landing originally) and a deacon of the First Baptist Church. I was looking for more stories to flesh him out.
I hope you come back to this or that someone else can add info. I'm at cindyjoslin@gmail.com
