Biography
John was born in 1740. He died in 1779. He married Susannah Richardson. They had the following children: John Richardson, Richard Curd, Isham Richardson, William Richardson, Martha Curd, Mary, and Ann.
The Administrator of John's Estate was Epaphroditus Gilliam (see Prince Edward County District Court Records) and after Epaphroditus' death, Epaphroditus' widow Elizabeth Holland Gilliam became the Administrator.
This points to John being a brother of Epaphroditus and per the Gilliam Bible also a brother of William who married Elizabeth McCormick.
