Today I am looking for more information about my cousin Andrew Reddick Richmond (1847-1905)<\/a> of Mississippi and Arkansas.<\/p>\n

According to the published family history: \u201cIt is believed that Reddick Richmond moved to Arkansas early in life and all trace of this family seems to have been lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see what we can find about him in GenealogyBank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With a quick search I found him, along with his family, in the 1850 census.<\/p>\n

1850 Census<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is him \u2013 along with his parents and his two brothers.<\/p>\n

And here he is in the next two census enumerations.<\/p>\n

1860, 1870 Census<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great.
\nNotice that in these two census entries, only his middle name is used. No mention of his first name Andrew. A reminder to be flexible in searching.<\/p>\n

Since his father John Richmond (1811-1850)<\/a> had died when he was only two years old, I see that his mother, Martha E. (Sparkman) Richmond (1826-1913)<\/a> had remarried. More clues.<\/p>\n

1880 Census<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking further, here he is with his family in the 1880 census.<\/p>\n

Notice that in this census his name was given as simply his initials: A. R. Richmond.<\/p>\n

1900 Census<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then in the 1900 census<\/a> it is given as Andrew R Richmond.<\/p>\n

\nThis gives us much more additional information about him and his family:<\/p>\n
