Descendants of Isaac Richardson
 © by Sue Ashby

THIS RICHARDSON FAMILY (which is of Halifax and other coastal counties) MAY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ONES IN CHATHAM CO.

BUT, MANY OF THIS ISAAC RICHARDSON FAMILY ARE SO SURE THAT THE ISAAC IN CHATHAM IS THE SAME ISAAC AS BELOW, I AM POSTING THIS.
 AS YOU CAN SEE, THE ISAAC IN CHATHAM DIED IN 1833. THE ISAAC HERE DIED IN KY IN 1845!!
I HAVE PROOF OF BOTH!!

MANY OF THE FIRST NAMES ARE SIMILAR AND BECAUSE THE NAME ISAAC, WAS NOT USED BUT A FEW TIMES IN SEVERAL GENERATIONS, I'M PUTTING THIS HERE, JUST IN CASE SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN PROVIDE THE TIE BETWEEN THEM.

MAYBE THERE IS A CONNECTION A GENERATION OR SO BACKWARDS AND SOME BROTHERS HAVE NAMED THEIR SONS FOR A FATHER OR GRANDFATHER??
I AM NOT RELATED, ONLY DID SOME OF THE RESEARCH FOR THESE PEOPLE, OVER SEVERAL YEARS.

A SMALL PART OF WHAT IS HERE IS NOT MY RESEARCH, BUT, INFO GIVEN ME BY OTHERS.. I CANNOT VOUCH FOR THE ACCURACY OF THEIR WORK. MY WORK IS MARKED IN RED AND I HAVE DOCUMENTS TO BACK IT UP.
A large portion of this family went to Canada to the Province of Ontario and they are listed as 'Black or Mulatto' in every case, up there. They intermarried in Canada, with Black and Mulatto. Some came back to the U.S. by the 1850 census and are in Michigan and other northern areas.
The ones that went to KY some times were listed as 'Mulatto' and sometimes not.
