After years of searching, I’ve found another link in my RICHISON line! Identifying George RICHISON as the father of John R. RICHISON was a real breakthrough for me last night – too late to do anything except the genealogist happy dance!
The documentation I have also ties Eleanor RICHISON WALLACE, Andrew RICHISON, Jane RICHISON Cook even more closely than before as siblings. George RICHISON and Eppy RICHISON FERGUSON are not mentioned so I may have erred in considering them siblings as well but I will do further research on that.
George can be found in the 1820 Fed. Census in Bethel Twp., Clark Co., Ohio, Series 33-88, Page 20 with what appears to be his wife and one daughter yet at home (Jane md in 1822 so this is most likely here). Hugh WALLACE and John RICHISON were appointed administrators of George’s estate on 20 Oct 1823 and some of the papers in the estate file have interest on promissory notes figured to 2 Aug 1823 which probably indicates the date of George’s death. Another account is closed as of 2 Aug 1823 reinforcing that as the death date. The estate file is A177 in the Clark County Probate Court and is many pages long with signatures of several family members. Although the estate is listed as Geo. RICHARDSON and the name is spelled in various ways throughout the estate file, when members of the RICHISON family signed their name, it was usually very clearly RICHISON.
I’d love to hear from anyone concerning anything new you might have on this RICHISON line which may connect with yours. What I have is posted on my web site at home.indy.com/richison if you would care to have a look. I’m always happy to share whatever I have.
