William "Roudy" Richardson is buried In Fought Cemetery, Washington, Pauling County, Ohio.I have directions if you need them.
While married to his second wife, legend has it that three Indians attacked and murdered his sister-in-law Barbara Dillbone and her husband. Richardson avenged their murders by tracking and killing the three Shawnee,getting two in the vicinity of Piqua and he third down by Auglaize.
He fought in two wars, the war of 1812 as well as the Revolution. He fought two years in the border wars of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
It is reported he had 22 children.
I am searching for information on his wife Catherine Millhouse
and the Native American Connection.Our family comes from Oliver Richardson, the son of William "Roudy" and Catherine Millhouse.
Would appreciate any information you have.
