JWellborn on “Broderick Mason Family”
I am researching the family of BRODERICK MASON (b.1764, d.1836) of Spartenburg SC. BRODERICK MASON married JANE POSEY Abt. 1787, and was originally from Culpepper Co., VA.
I am looking specifically for his will, any deeds, or documents which would verify FORD MASON as his son.
I have census documents for 1790-1830 swhowing his residence in the Spartenburg area.
If anyone could assist - I would certainly appreciate the effort.

gwthom on “Will of Moses Richeson or Richardson”
I am interested in hearing from anyone researching the family of Moses Richardson of the Spartanburg District of South Carolina. In the will of Mr. Richardson dated 19 Dec. 1850 it list his wife as Elizabeth and his children as follows John, Elian, W. P., Mary, O.P., and Matthew. Grandson John Richeson and then almost as an after thought it list Mr.Lucy Hunt with the rest of his children, which leads me to believe that she was either adopted or just raised by him.
Lucy is of special interest to me, her and John Hunt were my GGgrandparent and I know very little about either of them except that the 1850 census Dekalb County, Ala. lists him and his wife Lucy and there children Manerva, Clemont C., Percie T., Larkin, Millie L.(My ggrandmother) and Martha, and Andrew.
The 1860 St. Francis Co. Arkansas census list John and Elenore (which I believe to be his second wife since Lucy was not listed with the family here and Elenore is not listed previously ) with one additional child named Jane.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone with any additional information about John or Lucy or just simply cousins who are on the same trail.
Thanks Gale
