Barnett Richardson family
Can anyone tell me the evidence (if any) used to assign all the Richardson's of the area of Jackson Co., TN. to Barnett and Elizabeth (Martin) Richardson.
I have a proven line from Hattie Easter Ritcheson (1884-1956) -my maternal grandmother, to her father Harvey Ritcheson/Richardson (ca. 1820- bef 13 Oct 1885),to his father Benjamin Richardson (ca. 1795- aft.1870?). At this point the consensus opinion is that Benjamin was the son of Barnett Richardson.
[1810 U. S. Census, Bedford County, VA]
Barnett Richardson 11001/21110 [married Elizabeth Martin, 1790 Bedford Co., VA]
6 households
Thomas Martin 00011/2101[brother of Elizabeth and Nancy Martin]
John Richerson 50010/2101 [married Nancy Martin, 1793 Bedford Co., VA]
The male age 10-16 in Barnett's household could be Benjamin. But other alleged sons of Barnett appear to be missing.

Jr. Richison Benjamin 200100/00100
Richison John 200010/20000
Of course Jr. did not at that time always mean "son of" but having a Benjamin Sr. raises questions. As does the John Richardson with so many apparent children in his household.
Allegedly Barnett and his brothers John and Benjamin all moved to Tennessee (but every Richardson descendant seems to be assigned to Barnett alone in the information posted online.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
