| The research on this family tree begins with my parents: Charles N. Richardson Sr. and Hariett T. Wyman. Their ancestors, on my fathers side, are the Wygants, Richmonds, and Marshfields. My mothers ancestors, The Wyman Tree through her fathers line, also contains research on the Coe's, her mother's line. It is through the Coe line that we are direct descendants of William Bradford, who governed Plymouth Colony in our nations beginnings for almost 30 years. The Wymans also came over from England at around the same time as the Mayflower landing, and settled in the Woburn, Mass. area. There is a Francis Wyman Association, with a board of directors, that continue to maintain one of the Wyman homes. My husband's tree, the Mattes's contains research on the Aigeltingers, and Mattes's as well as the Koehlers, who migrated from Germany. These families primarily from immigrated from Germany, in the case of the Wygants and Mattes's. The Richmonds originated in Brittany, France; The Coe's, Wyman's, and Marshfields immigrated from The United Kingdom. Some of our ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War, as well as the War of 1812 with Great Britain. They were integral in founding this country, and their military sacrifices on the battlefield as well as their day to day civilian sacrifices afford their descendants the privileged lives we enjoy today. Their descendants, our cousins, nephews, nieces, and grandchildren continue to serve their adopted country in numerous capacities. Numerous sources were used in this research. In many cases, vast amounts of research was already completed, and it only required pulling the information together in order for it to make sense. US Census records, Immigration records, Ships logs, Draft records from WWII, as well as personal interviews, and other individual's research (Carol Wygant Felter, John Wyman as well as some unknown individuals) were used to compile this information. |
