The entries on this page are several of my direct ancestors.

"Robert R. Richardson Died March 16th 1874  . . . " is my Great-great-grandfather.

"Mary E. Richardson, wife of Robert R. Richardson died Jan 7th 1891."  My Great-great-grandmother.

"Mattie Richardson (nee Coon) wife of RHRichardson Died Jan 21 AD  1901" is my Great-grandmother, my maternal grandfather's mother.  She is Martha "Mattie" Coon, married to Reverdy Hunter Richardson.  Here is a photo of the Coon Family Cemetery where she is buried.
 

"Reverdy Hunter Richardson Died April 12th 1916" is my Great-grandfather, my maternal grandfather's father.

The last entry on this page is my maternal grandfather, Clarence James Richardson, who married Annie Lee Dudding, my maternal grandmother.

There are two tragic stories recorded here. 

  •  My Great-grandmother Mattie Coon Richardson died in January 1901.  In 1906, my Great-grandfather Reverdy Hunter Richardson re-married to Nettie Ethel DuBose.  They had five children, one of whom was name Mattie after R. H. Richardson's first wife.  Mattie Richardson was born in 1908 and died in 1912 -- "She came to her death by burning."  Another source states that her mother went into another room of the house then heard the child screaming; her mother ran to her and found her clothing had caught fire because Mattie got "too close to the fire."
     
  •  The second is the death of "Richard H. Richardson, son of RHR and Mattie Richardson died Dec 6, 1900. Age 4 months."  He was the youngest son of Reverdy Hunter Richardson and Mattie Coon Richardson.  His mother, Mattie Coon Richardson, died one month later in January 1901.  Because the child died in December and the mother in January, I wonder if their deaths were related -- possibly a result of a difficult birth, or, illness such as pneumonia or flu.
