1840: There are only 2 Jonathan Richardsons in New York in 1840: 1 in Independence, Allegany Co, New York and 1 in Troy, Rensselaer Co, New York.
Jonathan Richardson III and wife Marinda are in Independence, Allegany Co, New York, but there is no older male in this family that would correspond to Jonathan Richardson Jr. He may be living with another child in this census year.
1850: There is no Jonathan Richardson that would correspond to Jonathan Richardson Sr. It is possible that he is on the mortality census for 1850, though I do not have access to this census at this point in time.
