John Richardson;Perry County Tennessee
I don't know if any of the Richardson family would find this helpful, but I would like to find the parents of John Richardson. I am actually looking for John Tucker who married Amy Williams Richardson (a widow). She had one son, John Richardson. My Tucker family settled in the Perry/Decatur counties of Tennessee. I would be interested in knowing if the John Richardson in Perry County is the son of Amy Williams Richardson Tucker. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Kim
