I have been following with interest the discussion of the family of Isaac
Benjamin Richardson, Sr and his son Thurman Odus Richardson.

In Carroll Hayden's cemetery book, there is an Isaac B. and Annie H.
"Richards" buried at Barren Fork (Mt. Pleasant). The dates given
lead me to believe that this is actually Isaac B. Richardson and wife
and the name is either a typo or a misreading of the tombstone. My
EHC cemetery book is still on my old computer, I need to check that
source to see if it is actually "Richardson"

From what I can gather from various sources, including Ancestry.com,
here is what I have assembled on them.

Isaac Benjamin Richardson, Sr, b.17 Aug 1883 in Stone or Izard.
d. 1951 in Barren Fork (Mt. Pleasant AR)
md. to Annie Holmes Edwards (28 Apr 1885-1970) dau. of:
William Edward Edwards (14 May 1856-16 Oct 1932) (Barren Fork)
Martha Annette Shaw (4 Mar 1860-16 Aug 1886) (Shaw Cemetery)

Isaac was son of:
John Benjamin Richardson (b 1853, Independence-d. 1934, Sharp)
Fanny D. McElmurry (1858-17 June 19420

Fanny is reportedly a daughter of Isaac McElmurry and Rebecca Jane
Jones and from the same line as my gggf John McElmurry. However,
my McElmurry records do not show Isaac with a daughter named Fanny,
so I need to check this out.

I welcome other input on this family.......................harold b.
