Notes
It is said that David first married a "Mary Ann Brown" or "Mary Eaton Brown" around 1805 and had several children with her before her death around 1817, and then he married secondly to Nancy. The book "Genealogy of Wilkinson and Kindred Families" (1949) by Marseilles McCowen Wilkinson mentions a David Richardson who was born ~1774 son of Arthur Richardson of SC marrying a "___ Brown" in 1805.
It has also been suggested that David is the son of Enoch Richardson, who lived in Richardson and Jasper counties, Georgia[9]
David's son, John Eaton Richardson, another link to Mary Ann Eaton Brown.
The middle name of David's son John Eaton Richardson possibly comes from his 1st wife, who may have had the middle or maiden name of Eaton.
There is DNA (Ancestry & 23andMe) from Lucretia to David and not to Nancy. Lucretia named her daughter after Mary Ann (Eaton)

I'm unsure what this means. We do not have the DNA tests for any of these people mentioned, only descendants. DNA can prove a distinction between some of the kids being from different mothers (which is likely) but I have not seen it put together and tracked. Looking at thrulines descendants on Ancestry, there isn't a super clear distinction I can at least see between all of the descendants as it is many generations down the line.
Could more DNA work be done to possibly validate this? Descendants of the first wife should share half as much with descendants of the second wife would with themselves.
