Notes


War of 1812 Veteran Son of Thomas & Susannah (Taylor) Richardson. Husband of Sally Seymour and Rachael. Father of Gould, Sellick, Thomas, Susannah, Elias, Sally, Diana, Clarissa, Solomon & Silas Richardson. From A history of Ontario County, New York, and its people...History of Victor: "Jeremiah Richardson, who was a Montgomery county man, came here in 1802 and purchased a farm for four dollars per acre in the north part of the town, which he cleared up and upon which he built a log house. Here his son Silas was born, and here he died at an advanced age. Mr. Richardson delighted to relate reminiscences of old times and was well posted on town history." History of Ontario Co, NY, Conover & Aldrich, pub 1893, pg 221 article about SILAS Richardson, mentions his father Jeremiah: Mr. RICHARDSON's father, Jeremiah, was born in Hartland, Vt., May 10, 1778, and married Sally SEYMOUR of the State of Connecticut. She was born November 25, 1789, and came to Mayfield, now Fulton county. His grandfather, Thomas, came to Victor in the year1800, and his father, Jeremiah, in the year 1802. His grandfather, Thomas, when at work on his farm in Vermont heard the cannonading on Lake Champlain in the War of 1776, went to his home, took his wife and family to his father, made a small bundle, picked up his rifle and served three years until independence was declared. His birthday was the 4th of July, and up to the time of his death he invited his friends and celebrated the occasion in a fitting manner. Mr. RICHARDSON's father sold his wheat one year in Canandaigua for 25 cents a bushel, at the same time traded eight bushels of wheat for one pound of tea, and when about to build a barn went to Albany and purchased nails for the same at eighteen cents per pound. Mr. RICHARDSON has been justice of the peace 12 years, and is a member of the Universalist church, and his father was in the War of 1812 at the time Buffalo was burned. From Ontario County Times 1 April 1868 Died in Victor, on the morning of the 13th inst., Jeremiah Richardson, Esq., in the 90th year of his age. The deceased was truly one of the Pioneers of Ontario County, having removed from Harland, Vermont, in the year 1802, and settling upon the farm uponwhich he died. Was an active soldier in the war of 1812, having been called by his country to aid in the struggle for independence, rendering his services upon the northern frontier of the State. The deceased was kindly buried, at his request, by his Masonic brethren, who will please accept the hearty thanks of all mourning friends, who were present to witness the sympathizing manner of paying the last sad office of respect to a brother of the "Mystic order." Peace to his venerable ashes, is the responseof all who knew him; as his was a true Masonic life, his every pulsation vibrating in unison with the Golden rule, "doing unto others as he wished them to do unto him." He goes to his home over the River prepared to enter into the full fruition of joys that were in waiting for him
