A Virginian by birth, Richardson as a young man established a plantation in Northern Louisiana on Bayou Macon, but in 1863 he was forced to abandon it when the Confederate government flooded that area to try to impede Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's forces. After staying briefly with his brother in Monroe, Louisiana, Richardson, his wife Sarah Bosworth, their five children and slaves moved to Henderson, Texas, where he purchased a farm just east of town. His descendants still own the antebellum, two- story house on East Main Street.
