"Robert McGary Richardson departed this life December 6th, 1889 aged 89 years. 10 months, and 26 days. He was born in Maury County, Tennessee. He moved to Monroe County, Mississippi, where he married Martha R. Edington in early life and remained there until about the year 1846, and then moved to Franklin County, Ala. when Franklin and Colbert were one. Since they were divided he has resided in Colbert County, 4 1/2 miles west of Tuscumbia. He leaves behind 76 descendants, consisting of children, grand children and great-grandchildren. He was an old-time and true-blue Democrat. He never, once in his life, voted a mixed ticket. He furnished 6 sons and 3 son-in-law who fought gallantly for the cause of the South. He believed in churches and relgion and was a great Bible reader. He was of a happy and cheerful disposition. Loved company and the society of friends, and had many reue and warm ones, whereever he lived."
From the obituary of Robert McGary Richardson in the Southern Idea, Russellville, Ala., for Jan. 17, 1890.
The writer of Mr. Richardson's obiturary failed to state that he was married a second time to Mrs. Louisa Wingo on Dec. 30, 1873, at her home in Colbert County, by John N. green, and that they lived for sometime in the present Franklin County near Russellville. Mr. Richardson had several children who married into Frnklin County families. Two of his daughters married Addison Malone. His son, Henry, married a daughter of Andrew Jackson Willis of the Duncan Creek section, and the youngest son, "Dal" married a daughter of Edwin Vinson, an early settler of Franklin. One daughter married Calvin Enlow who lived for many years in Franklin. He had several other sons who lived and died in Colbert, near Bear Creek Church. From the sons and daughters of Mr. richardson and his first wife have sprung a host of people. He also had a number of relatives in the early settlement of what is now Colbert, and if al the descendants of these were to assemble together it would be a multitude indead. His second wife had several children by her former husband, Mr. Wingo, but I do not know anything about her early life not of her husband's.
