      David -

      I have been slowly going through the data I have and have computerized a small fraction of what I have to give youa sense of what I have. I think this will explain the John and Mary Richardson question - the hypothesis is that there were two Mary Richardsons, the first wife being Mary Easterwood and the second Mary Terrel. More work probably needs to confirm this.

      I hope this helps. As I get more time I'll keep filling in teh many blanks here.

      Take care,

      Mike

      57. Nancy Jane Richardson was born July 13, 1849, in Indiana. She married Jesse Spriggs Powell on January 24, 1867 at Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana. Jesse was born on February 2, 1847, probably at South Bethany, Bartholomew County, Indiana.

      The Powells moved from Monroe County, Indiana, to Nevada, Missouri, sometime after 1870. They lived in Missouri for a time and later relocated to Aliza, Illinois. Aliza is about five miles east of Muscatine, Iowa. Jesse was a farmer there, owning some 640 acres at one time.

      Nancy Jane died on July 6, 1891, possibly with another child. After her death, Jesse lost most of his wealth . He lived at such places as Wataga, Illinois, and LaCrosse, Wisconsin. He may have remarried but no proof of that has been found. Jesse died on March 4, 1923, and both he and Nancy are interred at Edgington Cemetery, Rock Island County, Edgington, Illinois.
