Casper3050@aol.com DATE Wednesday, October 14, 1998 I am looking for info on Alfred RICHARDSON. He was born somewhere in La in 1815. He married Selena CRUMP and they moved to Mississippi. I have him in the 1840 Copiah Co. MS Census. And I also found him in the 1850 and 1860 Censuses of Washington Parish LA. I know they still lived there in 1870( I have this census). They had 10 children. They are Sylvester, Hardy, Leander, Emily, Gabraellen, Palatiah, Samuel, Eugene, William, and Angeline. Sylvester is my line. Anyway, I was hoping to find out who Alfred's parents were. He has a son named Hardy, so I thought maybe he would somehow be kin to the Hardy RICHARDSON in the Washington Parish book. I found where Alfred was mentined several times in the History book. I am not absolutely positive that they are from Washington Parish, but I was hoping to find that they moved there to be near family. I don't know dates of death or where they are buried. Any info you could give me would be really appreciated. I was hoping maybe you had run across them in your research. Thanks. Hope to hear from you soon. Memry
