James Richardson1
(circa April 1775 - 27 January 1841)
BMDB data
James Richardson was born cir. Apr 1775 ?ROX, SCT, A prior 1770 date came from "New Brunswick Lineages" which gives Christian's husband as "1770, Edinburgh -1850, Lower Canada", source for this not (yet) found.The current revised date comes from a headstone in the Beechridge cemetery, which church included Williamstown in its catchment - where James is documented as living when son Adam born.1,2,3,4
James Richardson married Christian Outterson on 29 Apr 1820 Eckford, ROX, SCT, two films, slightly different formatting, of this marriage, both show: "James Richardson in the parish of Morebattle Christian Outterson in the parish of Eckford gave up their names for proclamation in order to Marriage Given to the poor 1/-", ie no indication whether or not James was a widower.1,5,6
James Richardson died on 27 Jan 1841 Williamstown, Seigniory of Beauharnois, QUE, CAN; This date based on the assumption that the headstone at Beechridge is this James.
Certainly the church is mentioned as being built to "serve the needs of the early Scottish pioneers in the Beechridge and Scotch Settlement areas of Williamstown, Seigniory of Beauharnois, now known as Sainte-Clotilde and the neighboring Municipality of Saint-Urbain Premier. "
Williamstown is where James is documented as being a tailor when son Adam's birth was recorded in 1835.
Elizabeth RICHARDSON, wife of Samuel MOFFAT is also buried in this cemetery, Elizabeth being the daughter of James & Margaret MABON, where my theory is that these are one and the same James.4,7 He was buried Beechridge Cem., Sainte-Clotilde, QUE, CAN, Monument #191: In memory of James Richardson. who died Jan. 27,1841, aged 66 years and 9 months.4
