The color of each state indicates how frequently you will find someone with this surname in each state. For instance, if a state is colored red, then 1 in 100 people (or more) in that state have the surname. Similarly, yellow means approximately 1 in 300 have the surname, green means 1 in 1000, and blue means 1 in 10,000 (or less).

My husband's Richards ancestors (so far) begin with Curtis Richards and his wife Edith "Eady" Maynerd or Morgan. Through their son Charles Haskett Richards and his wife Asposia MOSS. Then through the daughter of Charles and Asposia Moss Richards - Pheobe Louise Richards was b. 1860 in Meigs Co., TN, she married John Wesley DOLAN.

I have pension papers for him and after he died his wife recieved his pension. The only children I know of is Samuel and John A. (poss more). They moved to Wright CO. MO. abt 1880 and bought property. In abt 1908, John A. and wife Belle disappear after his mother Maleney died. The son Samuel is my gr-grandfather.
