“To know nothing of our ancestry or from whence we came to have no reverence for the precious memories of the past ‑ is to ignore the elements and influences which have made us what we are. ‑ And who so dead to sympathy and affection, to kindred and to country, that would not preserve the records of his ancestors, the place of his birth, the home of his childhood and the sacred spot where repose the loved and last ones of earth.”  ‑‑ Marshall P. Wilder.

Preface

To the Descendants of Eleazer Richardson:
In presenting this brief memorial of Eleazer Richardson to his descendants I am fully aware of its imperfections.
It is believed to be nearly, if not quite, accurate as far as it goes; but there may be omissions of some facts that are unknown to the writer. It has been my aim to gather and crystallize into printed form the fast perishing fragments of our family history that they may be “preserved unto us and to our children.”
To those who have kindly assisted me in my researches, I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation.
Many have contributed their mite, but I wish especially to mention my esteemed aunt, Mrs. Bedee (Richardson) Broughton, who assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Eva (Broughton) Potter, both of Oswego, N.Y., have brought from memory’s storehouse, and placed at my disposal, some genealogical matter concerning the generations of Eleazer and his son Azel which otherwise would have been difficult to obtain. To Dr. Joel Greene, of Dubuque, Iowa, I am deeply indebted for much interesting  information. Thanks are also due to Rosell L. Richardson of New York City for considerable of the material used in my introduction concerning the six generations, in America, of the ancestors of Eleazer Richardson.
If this humble effort to preserve the family archives shall be welcomed by those who should be most interested in them, I shall be more than content.

INTRODUCTION

Some account of Amos Richardson, the progenitor of Eleazer Richardson.
First Generation
Amos Richardson, the progenitor in America of this branch of the Richardson family  first appears in Boston, Mass., May 22, 1639. It is believed he was born about 1623. 
Savage’s Genealogical Dictionary speaks of “Amos Richardson, of Boston, merchant tailor, (perhaps as one of that great London guild)” as “a man of great enterprise and good estate.” He was closely associated by friendship and business with two generations of the Governor Winthrop family, acting as attorney. “It stated that he was one of the three most active attorneys in the law courts during the life of the Massachusetts Colony. He was also “a general trader throughout the colonies, and with his own vessels, to the West Indies.” He owned about “five thousand acres at Stonington and New London (Ct.), and in the Narragansett country” together with some lots in Boston including a “house and garden” bought 1642 “on the north side of what is now Summer Street.” It is believed at this time (1643) he married Mary ____. He removed to Stonington, Conn., probably about 1663, where he “died August 5, 1683, at his residence, Quiambog Farm, Stonington.” “His wife died early in the following month.”

(The interested reader who desires more detailed information concerning the above mentioned six generations and their descendants, is referred to the interesting volume “Amos Richardson of Boston and Stonington,” published in 1906, by Rosell L. Richardson, of 403 West 126th Street, New York City, of whom a copy can be obtained.)

ELEAZER RICHARDSON
Seventh Generation
of Amos Richardson, of Boston and Stonington, 1623(?) 1683.

Eleazer Richardson, the subject of this volume, was the son of Andrew and Mercy (Clauson) Richardson, and was born in Lebanon, Conn., March 21, 1774. In 1780, he removed with his parents to Manchester, Vt. He married Ophelia Washburn, daughter of Dr. Azel and Bedee Washburn. Dr. Washburn was a surgeon in Col. Seth Warner’s Regiment in the Revolutionary War, and was commissioned January 1^st, 1777, and retired January 1781. (See Conn. Rev. Rolls, also Probate Court records of the town of Manchester, Vt.) The name of Dr. Azel Washburn appears on the Soldiers’ Monument in the village of Manchester, Vt. Dr. Washburn probably died there in 1801‑2 for, in the Probate Office in Manchester may be found an inventory of his estate which was being settled in 1802‑3.

Dr. Azel Washburn is believed to have been the son of James (Jr.) and Elizabeth (Hooper) (Leonard) Washburn, and the brother of Jonah (5) Washburn, whose line of descent is James, Jr., born 1698 (4); James, born 1672 (3); John (2); John, at Duxbury, Mass., 1632 (1). Jonah was born at Middleboro, Mass., Feb. 16, 1733, and removed to Randolph, Vt., in 1785. Jonah (5) had a son, Rev. Azel, born 1764, grad, Dartmouth 1786, whose grandson, Rev. Azel Washburn Wild is now living at Saxton’s River, Vt. ‑ D. A. R.

Eleazer Richardson, with several other families, settled in the town of Bristol, Vt., in the spring of 1800. On February 6, 1800, he bought of Ichabod Cross, of Shaftsburg, Vt., land in Bristol, Vt., for which he paid forty-five (45) pounds. On April 27, 1809, he sold this land to one Eastman for two hundred dollars ($200). In 1814 he bought land in Monkton, Vt., for three hundred twenty-five dollars ($325), and in 1822 he bought land in Cornwall, Vt., and sold it in 1825. Eleazer Richardson and Ophelia Washburn were probably married in the town of Manchester, Vt., about 1796-7 although no record of time or place has yet been found. In 1826, he and his wife came to Richland, N.Y., to live, bringing with them the wife and children of his son Azel “who remained in Vermont working  for Squire Slade.” In 1827 Azel joined his family in Richland, N.Y. Eleazer died in Castile, N.Y., in 1834 and was buried there. Ophelia, his wife, died in Richland, N.Y., about 1843, and was buried in what is known as the Ferguson cemetery which is situated about one-half mile easterly from the village of Richland. In 1894 her remains were removed to the Richland cemetery, together with those of her daughter-in-law, Martha (Slocum) Richardson. Eleazer was shoemaker by trade.
Eleazer and Ophelia (Washburn) Richardson had three children:
1.	Bedee H., born _________.
2.	Azel Washburn born Dec. 12, 1800, at Bristol, Vt.
3.	Mercy Clauson, born Sept. 19, 1805, at Bristol, Vt.

Eighth Generation
Descendants of
Eleazer and Ophelia (Washburn) Richardson.

Bedee H., first child of Eleazer and Ophelia (Washburn) Richardson, married Joseph Talman. No record of her birth or marriage has yet been found. They had no children, and but little is known about them. They resided in Castile, N.Y., and he died there about 1866-8. She died about two years later, and both are buried there.
In a letter, her nephew, Dr. J. H. Greene, says: “Now for Aunt Bedee Talman. She was very much stouter than my grandmother, and taller. My impression is that she had no children. I never saw her more than two or three times, but I can see just how she looked now, and she had a sweet gentle smile as I recalI her, and she was very quiet. I think her husband Talman was not particularly interested in boys, for my boyhood impressions are not as much centered around him as in Aunt Bedee.” 
Azel Washburn Richardson, second child of Eleazer and Ophelia (Washburn) Richardson, was married January 9, 1820, at Monkton, Vt., to Martha, daughter of Samuel and Ruth (Hall) Slocum, of Rhode Island. She was born at Newport, R.I., December 24, 1795, and died at Richland, N.Y., 1858. Azel W. Richardson settled in Cornwall, Vt., soon after his marriage and three of his children were born there. In 1826 his family moved to Richland, Oswego County, N.Y., where  his other three children were born. They traveled by boat on Lake Champlain, and the Champlain and Erie canals to Rome, N.Y., and from there through the woods by ox-team, to a twenty-five acre parcel of land situated in the eastern part of the town of Richland. Azel W. Richardson was one of the first settlers of eastern Oswego County, and helped to clear the land of the giant pine which were so abundant in that section at that time. Many a tree of three feet in diameter at the butt, or larger, was cut down and rolled into piles and burned, in order to clear the land. He erected a house of pine planks sawed four inches thick, and about eighteen inches wide. These planks were placed on edge, and the corners locked by mortise and tenon. Holes were bored through these tenons, and a wooden pin driven through to keep the corners in place. This house stood on the left side of the road leading from Richland station to the village of Orwell, and was burned accidentally about 1875. He owned this land until he died in 1883, when it passed into the possession of his son, Heman, and is still owned by his descendants.

“Samuel Slocum (born at or near Dartmouth, Mass., November 4, 1736), served through the entire Revolution together with his six brothers (except one shot in 1777). All were from Tiverton, R. I. Samuel Slocum removed to Monkton, Vt., about 1786.”

He was a great athlete, and many notable feats are accredited to his honor. It was said he could jump over a broom handle held as high as his head from a standing jump. He could easily clear sixteen feet straight away jump. He was noted as a great wrestler among his townspeople. At one time a noted wrestler was showing his skill, and boasted he had never been put on his back. Richardson at that time was eighteen years of age. His friends urged him to step into the ring, and try his skill in throwing so noted an athlete. Finally, the wrestler himself hearing about him, urged him to step into the ring. Young Richardson declined, but finally said he would make one try it if wrestler would not ask him to make another, no matter who was thrown. This proposal was agreed to, and when all was ready and the word given, Richardson tripped his opponent and threw him so quickly he hardly realized what had happened until all was over. The wrestler urged him for another chance, but Richardson would not give him the second opportunity.
Concerning Azel W. Richardson, his grandnephew, Dr. J. H. Greene, of Dubuque, Iowa, in a letter written January 5, 1913, to the author (a grandson of Azel W. Richardson ) says:
“But Uncle Azel was the sport I would like to see now. He and my grandfather were the greatest friends, and when Uncle Azel came I can see them both doubled up with laughter and joking, while my grandmother would protest in a querulous way. I think Uncle Azel had a shrewd kind of Yankee wit, for I know that he always kept every one laughing who was in his company, and even my grandmother, at last, would join in spite of herself, while my grandfather would simply double up at his jokes, and I presume at the idea that any one could extract a laugh out of her. Uncle Azel was, I believe, a great athlete, for I recall once when I was there my grandfather, father and Uncle Azel were doing ‘stunts’ and that he beat every one in whatever he undertook. He was a stout, gray-haired man, cleanly shaven when I saw him, rather portly, but with motions like a cat. I saw his counterpart as I recall him, when I saw Denman  Thompson in the ‘Old Homestead.’ This I do not think is entirely childhood fancy. I have seen the play several times, and it always brings back Uncle Azel.  Not only that he used to tell me ‘Injun’ and I think, stories of Revolutionary times, and, in short, was one of the men a boy would love to tie to, and I know his visits were too short. I can remember that I saw him take a gun, and go through something that I think was a sort of manual of arms, or else he was making fun for my grandfather; for the latter laughed until the tears ran down his cheeks, so it may have been just nonsense. But he was a great old fun maker, as I recall him.”
After the death of his wife in 1859, Azel W. Richardson went to Castile, N.Y., where in 1861, he married his cousin Mercy (Derby) Jones, a widow. He resided in Castile until 1871, when this wife died, and he returned to Richland, N.Y., and made his home with his son, Heman, where he died February 7, 1883, and was buried there.
Azel Washburn and Martha (Slocum) Richardson had six children:
1.	Andrew Crocker, born Nov. 3, 1820, at Cornwall, Vt. 
2.	Amarilla Zoviah, born June 11, 1822, at Cornwall, Vt. 
3.	Martha Ann, born Dec. 2, 1825, at Cornwall, Vt.
4.	Heman Holt, born, July 24, 1828, At Richland, N.Y.
5.	Bedee Ophelia, born Oct. 23, 1833, at Richland, N.Y. 
6.	Eleazer Gilbert, born Apr. 15, 1836, at Richland N.Y.
Mercy Clauson, third child of Eleazer and Ophelia (Washburn) Richardson was born September 19, 1805, at Bristol, Addison County, Vt. In the family history of Rev. Joel Henry Greene, now in the possession of his grandson and namesake, Dr. Joel H. Greene, of Dubuque, Ia., is the following: 
“Elder Joel H. Greene was married December 2, 1825, to Mercy C. Richardson daughter of Ele(a)zer and Ophelia Richardson, granddaughter of Andrew and Mercy Richardson on her father’s side, and Azel and  Bedee Washburn on her mother’s side, in the 19th year of her age.” 
As the above extract shows, Mercy Clauson Richardson married on December 2, 1825, Rev. (“Elder”) Joel H. Greene, of Wallingford, Rutland County, Vt. He was born September 18, 1806.
The following extracts from “Elder” Joel H. Greene’’ autobiography and from letters written by Dr. Joel H. Greene, of Dubuque, Ia., to the author, it is believed will be of interest to the reader.
From the autobiography of Elder Joel H. Greene:
“On the 2^nd of December, I was married to Mercy (Clauson) Richardson, daughter of Eleazer and Ophelia Richardson. She was born in Bristol, Addison County, Vt., on the 19th Of September, A.D. 1805. About the year 1819, her father moved into Cornwall where I became acquainted with her. We were married by Rev. J. Bushnel. I immediately commenced keeping house.”
I thought myself entirely excused from preaching but soon the subject returned. I resolved that if the Lord opened the way I would go forward in the way of duty. My father had a farm consisting of one hundred acres of land situated about one-quarter of a mile east of the Baptist meeting-house in Cornwall, which he had willed to me provided I stayed with him but I willingly left it having, as I hope, an eye single to the glory of God, and a strong desire for the glory of souls. Having my father’s consent, and his approbation, I trust, left the farm in March 1827. I commenced study with Rev. Beriah N. Leach who was then the pastor of the Baptist church in that place. I kept house in the under part of his house.”
From the letters written (1913) by Dr. Joel H. Greene:
“After marriage he (“Elder” Joel H. Greene) attended Hamilton College (Clinton, N.Y.) beginning August 2, 1827, and graduated June 3, 1830. His family, remained at Cornwall for a time, and he made the trips back and forth to his family, on foot and once on horseback a part of the way. During his studies he taught school, and filled appointments at small places. He was ordained to the ministry of the Baptist Church at Pittsford, Rutland County, Vt., February 8th, 1831, his father preaching the sermon at that time. He preached there and at Weybridge, Vt., three years. He then preached successively at Parishville, Belleville, Salisbury, LaGrange, Hunts Hollow, Belfast and Franklinville, all in New York. Failing health took him to Castile in 1864, where he lived on a small place where he kept bees and raised fruit. In his last years he made his home in Franklinville, where he died July 22, 1873. During all these changes, his wife, never well after the birth of my father, loyally followed him, and, although she was frail and unfitted for hard work, no house was more tidy, and even dust was “tabu” in that house where she presided. Her home in Franklinville, NY, was a little house erected for them by my father. It was next door to us, and separated by a little gate which we always left open. Perhaps a few of my childhood memories of her may be interesting. I recall that my grandfather, and myself when a small boy visiting there, were provided with slippers made from carpet rags from her hands which we had to put on in the “entry way” in the rear so we would bring in no dust. Only visitors were permitted to come in shod. Her parlor was spotless and the envy of every other dame with a New England conscience, in respect to dirt as well as religion. She was always “sick” or “ailing” but she had the respect of everybody, but she held herself aloof from neighbors and friends. Although smaller than my grandfather, she had a mien and carriage that betokened rank whether she was entitled to it or not, and her black shining eyes could make any person quail by one look. The verdict of the community was that the “Elder” bad a pretty hard time of it getting along with “Mercy,” which I know was true, for I caught him once out in his buggy asleep wrapped up in a buffalo robe, with traces of tears on his cheeks, and I will never forget how it shocked me, but I do not think any person ever heard him complain and he was regarded as about as near a saint as was permissible in those days. But she made the finest cookies and pies and “turn-overs” I ever ate, even among relatives that were famed on both sides for being cooks equal to any. She was always very good to me, and I have the sweetest recollections of her crullers, and various doughnut and cookie figures that are associated with her memory, and the apples and peaches and “love apples” and the honey, and oh! all the old fashioned flowers that were at “Grandpa’s.”  Now I know my grandmother had a pretty lonely life, and as I size it up, was very proud. My grandfather (was there ever another angel like him!) waited upon her night and day as kind and gentle as any nurse, always trying to do something to please her. She was not in the least a scold or loud voiced, but she did much with her eyes and manner, and l as I say, she made my good old grandfather hustle whenever he was home, and I used to think that she was one of the people that “enjoy poor health.” But I know now she could not get around very much in those days, and realizing how she was criticized, I presume to a proud spirit like hers she had a share of trouble too. I am convinced that while criticized for not keeping up to the standard of digging and scrubbing and weaving of that day that she was a martyr, and I only wish I could have known her side of it. My grandfather was devoted to her, and what “Mercy” said or wanted had to go. Of course he did a great deal of the work that should have fallen to “Mercy” had she been well, and he had no small hand in keeping the house to her wishes.
He died suddenly of apoplexy, August 22, 1873, at Franklinville, NY. She (Mercy) survived him only, seven months. She was a quiet little body and bore her suffering with resignation. She lived for a short time in the little house next to our home but was finally removed to my father’s house where she died March 22, 1874. Both are buried in Franklinville, N.Y.”
Rev. Joel H. and Mercy C. (Richardson) Greene had three children:
1.	Zermiah Ophelia, born December 9, 1825. She died February 11, 1826.
2.	Infant (unnamed), born January 19, 1827.
3.	Henry Eleazer, born January 3, 1828.

Ninth Generation
Descendants of
Azel W. and Martha (Slocum) Richardson.

Andrew Crocker, first child of Azel W. and Martha (Slocum) Richardson was born November 3, 1820, at Cornwall, Vt. In early manhood he accompanied a band of Mormons traveling as far west as Cleveland, Ohio. There he left his traveling companions, and engaged in trading with the settlers along the Cuyahoga River by loading a boat with provisions and calling at different ports. He accumulated the sum of thirteen hundred dollars in gold, and formed a partnership with two other men (one a Mr. Johnson). In the summer of 1851, he died of cholera, aged thirty-one years. One of his partners died at the same time. He never married.
Amarilla Zoviah, second child of Azel W. and Martha (Slocum) Richardson was born June 11, 1822, at Cornwall, Vt. At the age of eighteen she was baptized and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Orwell, N.Y., and later transferred membership to the Methodist Episcopal Church, Sandy Creek, N.Y. On April 22, 1849, she was married by the Rev. Joshua Freeman to Francis Whitmore Baker, son of William and Harmony (Newton) Baker, of Richland, N.Y. She was a tailoress by trade. She died at Lacona, N.Y., March 22, 1900,  aged 78 years. Her husband, Francis W. Baker, was born at Vernon, Hartford County, Conn., August 23, 1824, and settled with his parents at Richland, N.Y., in 1844. Francis W. and Amarilla (Richardson) Baker resided at Richland, N.Y., until 1867, when they removed to Lacona, N.Y. In June, 1861, he enlisted as a private in the 24th Regiment, N.Y. Vols. Co. G, under  Capt. William Ferguson and served in the army of the Potomac under McClellan. He was honorably discharged July, 1863, having served two years.
