NOTE: We are inviting all relatives and friends to send in more information that we can archive and add to this website. We are especially in need of photos, individual names and information about extended family members and other details missing about the family. Because this website was originally created from my (KOH's) perspective, it now needs the input and perspectives of others far beyond my own. Please re-visit (and also add to) the list of growing family names below. Thank you in advance.
The following are many of the surnames within our family tree (connected through one or both of my parents): Arrington, Barnett, Baskerville, Beane, Bingham, Blaney, Brown, Cabiness, Calloway, Carter, Claytor, Cooke, Copeland, Crockett, Cunningham, Divers, Draper, Eastwood, Flood, Franks, Freeman, Gibson, Grogan, Grogans, Hale, Harper, Harrison, Harvey, Helton, Hilton, Holmes, Hughes, Hylton, Johnson, Jones, Joyce, Kirby-Green, Kirtley, Lewis, Lovelace, Martin, McDaniel, McLamb, Moore, Nowlin, Page, Paige, Patterson, Payne, Penn, Phelps, Porter, Reynolds, Rhodes, Richardson, Robertson, Saunders, Smith, St.Clair, Stuart, Terry, Thomas, Thompson, Trent, Tyehimba, Tyree, Tyson, Via, Watkins, Webb, White, Williams, Wilson, Woody, Worrell, Worthington, Zimmer. I could go on, but I will start leaving names off...(If your family surname is missing, please let us know so that it can be added)

Some history of the John Henry Richardson Family
John Henry Richardson (b. May 8, 1865 - d. July 5, 1955)
Emma J. Woody (b. December 25, 1864 - d. April 16, 1929)
John Henry Richardson was the son of Robert and Dilsey Richardson of Henry County, Virginia. His father, Robert, was a laborer in Henry County before and after the U.S. Civil War. Robert and Dilsey were married around 1850 in Henry County. Of this union, six children were born; Mary Jane, Annebella, Lucinda, Mariah, and Susan D. KOH is a descendant of John Henry Richardson.
(We are in need of more information about and for 1) John Henry Richardson's parents, 2) his 5 siblings or siblings' descendants or 3) any Richardsons in and from the Virginia region, who might be descendants.)
John Henry Richardson, a laborer, married Emma Jane Woody on April 23, 1891 in Roanoke County, Virginia. Emma Jane was the daughter of Elmund and Docia Woody of Franklin County. Of the union of John Henry and Emma Jane, seven children were born; six girls and one boy. There were two sets of twins; Bettie E. & Rosa E., and also Mary Jane and Martha Ann. Three of the children died at an early age; Nora - 4; Bettie, and Robert - age 1. (We are in need of more information about and for 1) Emma Jane Woody's family or 2) any Woodys or relatives in and from the Virginia region.)
Below are the children of John Henry and Emma Jane:
Nora Richardson (August 30, 1891 - August 27, 1895)
Bettie E. Richardson (September 9, 1893 - July 1894)
Rosa E. Richardson Penn (September 9, 1893 - July 10, 1954). Rosa married Thomas G. Penn
Robert Richardson (May 15, 1896 - October 1897)
Mary Jane Richardson Callaway (June 24, 1900 - November 4, 1955). Mary married Ernest Callaway
Martha Ann Richardson Reynolds Baskerville (June 24, 1900 - June 6, 1974). Martha was twice married; to Clarence Reynolds and later to Junius Bakerville. Martha was KOH's grandmother.
Lena Bell Richardson Nowlin (January 10, 1903 - March 17, 1962). Lena Bell married Charles Nowlin
Additional notes (but I always keep an eraser near by)!
(We need names and information on other relatives, including children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, distant relatives, etc.)
