Sarah Richardson was an older sister of
Mazzie Richardson (1794?-1864), the wife of
Andrew Martin (1790?-1856). |

Parents Joseph & Sarah moved with most of their children to western Rockingham
County about 1795, settling on the North Beaver Island Creek, on or near the Stokes
County line. Since daughter Sarah married in VA in 1798, she seems to have moved
later as she shows in the 1810 Rockingham County Census as a head of
household with 4 children, 3 males under the age of 10 and one female over the age
of 10. |

|
All three sons, Wesley, Cephus and Thomas married sisters, Emelia (Millie),
Paliny, and Lavinia Jane Payne, respectively. |
