General Notes: Husband - John Richardson

---

He was a native of Ireland, and immigrated to Butler County, Pennsylvania, in 1800, settling on a farm in Connoquenessing township. He learned the weaver's trade in his native land, and followed that business in Butler County for a number of years. He took up 400 acres of unimproved land, built his cabin in the midst of the forest, and resided there the remainder of his life. He was a member of the German Reformed church, and quite prominent in that denomination. In politics, he was a Whig.
