Jonathan Richardson Sr Summary:
Jonathan Richardson, the progenitor
born circa 1743 (date from Veterans Buried in Livonia, Livingston Co, New York)
died bef 1829 (also from above, as well as deed records cited in letter from 1956)
buried: Annis-Powell Cemetery, Livonia, Livingston Co, New York, gravesite unknown - as per above
Deed Records cited in letter from 1956 state that he owned a lot in South Livonia, Livingston Co, New York (originally Ontario Co), totally 73 18/100 acres on Lot No. 70 dated 29 November 1814; on 2 February 1821 he deeded this land to his son Jonathan Richardson Jr. Jonathan Richardson Jr deeded this land to his son Jonathan (Jonathan III) on 14 October 1829. [I have not seen these deeds in person.]
No census records for any Richardson male in this family in western New York before 1810.
The name of his wife is unknown, though she is present in his household in 1810 in Livonia, Ontario Co, New York.
Parents: He is very likely not the son of Jonathan Richardson and Abigail Farmer, as it appears that Jonathan Richardson married Lydia Foster in 1772 in Chelmsford, Massachusetts (see vital records of Chelmsford, MA).
Children: Jonathan, Daniel, Joseph, and perhaps John; may be other children unknown at this time
