Individual Details

William does not appear in the list of children among division of the estate of Noah Richardson in 1879. Presumably he died before then.

An article about his brother Mathias states that William was mortally wounded at the battle of Frazer's Farm, June 30th, 1862. FindAGrave has a date of death as 2 July 1862. However, the page gives his birth as 13 Dec 1810 - which is an impossible birth, he was born 1840. He was buried Carmel Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Pickens Co, SC. He served in the 4th SC Infantry as a Corporal.
