He was probably the sonb,m of ROBERT and HARRIET A RICHARDS, both born in England. He was born Feb 1842, probably in Caton, NY.
In 1850, following her father's death, Nancy is livinga with her mother. In 1860, following her mother's death in 1852, Nancy is livingf with her uncle, WILLIAM T. FOLSOM. In 1865, she had emigrated to New York, and is listed as "niece" in the householdg of her aunt, SARAH C FOLSOM VEAZIE. In 1870, Nancy Richards, age 28, born Maine, appears in Corning as the apparent wifeh of Damond[sic] Richards with children Edward and Jennie. Damon and Nancy apparently thereafter moved to Catonj,n,c,k and lived there the rest of their lives.
A legal notice in the Binghamton (NY) Pressl mentions "Jennie Richards Houlden," grand-daughter of Louisa Veazie, and Clarence Richards, great-grandchild of Louisa Veazie, as heirs to ROBERT W FOLSOM, a brother of Louisa and Sarah Folsom.
