Excerpt from The Genealogy of the Richardson Family of the State of DelawareThe design of this publication is principally intended to preserve the history of the earlier generations of the Richardson family in this country. We are unable to trace their origin any further back, nothing being known of their English pedigree. The knowledge of the history of some of the branches, in the second and third generations, is already lost, and what is known of the others is possessed by but a few, and is also likely to pass into oblivion if not kept alive in print.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
