Eliza's parents were Edmund Richardson and Mary Dillard "Polly" Harrison - they married 21 Oct 1811, Pittsylvania Co, VA. Mary Dillard was the daughter of William Harrison and Anna Payne.

William Harrison's will proved 18 Feb 1811 in Pittsylvania, named sons: Robert, Nathaniel, & William P. Harrison; daughters: Susannah wife of William Ware, Jane wife of Henry Stone, Anne wife of Daniel Colemen, and Polly [or Mary] Dillard who married Capt A. G. Walters [This statement is wrong and obviously inserted later into this brief abstract of the will., Mary Dillard Harrison was not married at the time his will was proved - she married Edmund Richardson in October of 1811. The will was written, in 1807 and she was the only unmarried daughter then as well. Mary & Edmund's daughter, Eliza Ann Richardson, was the lady who married A. G. Walters. This error has been perpetuated in at least two Pittsylvania histories.]
