Thanks!

Freeman Richardson Sr was born in VT--possibly in what was known as Parkerstown at the time--It is possible that his parents were Johnson Richardson and Sibel Stanley but there is no connection that I can find as proof of this.  He was buried in Coit cemetery in the Town of Hastings, Oswego Cty, NY.

Freeman Richardson Sr. appears in census 1855, 1860, 1865, 1870, 1875 for Palermo, Oswego, New York.

His will is proven 9 August 1878 in Oswego County, New York and drawn 8 June 1878.

Cemetery marker says he died July 17, 1873 but it was 1878.

Newspaper looks like 1873 but is 1878 for his obituary.  Says son Col. Jno. B. Richardson.

Was married to Phoebe Connell but she died in 22 Sep 1865.  He remarried a Catherine ______, bef 1870 as she is on 1870, 1875 Censuses with him as wife.

Answer 2

IAccording to the 1850 and 1860 census,  Freeman was born between 1801 and 1810 in Massachusetts.

Phebe was born in New York.
