1870; Salubrity Twp, Pickens Co SC, p.493, Household 178:
Next door to Hester Richardson is Franklin Richardson, age 33 with Nancy age 21, Ida C. age 2 and Bula J. age 7 months [born January]

An article about John's brother states that John Franklin "died a few years after serving as a Confederate soldier" and he was apparently deceased prior to the 1880 census:

He served in the 7th SC Infantry as a private. He is buried Carmel Presbyterian Church cemetery, Pickens Co, SC; FindAGrave Memorial #22081868. He was married twice - Hattie A. Bowers (4 Oct 1840-21 Aug 1864) and second to Nancy Kennon Breazeale (1848-1909). There were three children - a daughter Harrie Bowers Richardson who died 1 Sep 1864, age 2 weeks, 4 days - her mother apparently died in childbirth.
