| Seeking information on WILLIAM & JOHN RICHARDSON who were in Isle of Wight and Surry Cos Va. in the early 1600s. The family farmed there until about 1745 when JOHN RICHARDSON moved to Johnston Co. NC. Many of his descendants remain there today. JOHN had three sons and five daughters. The sons are WILLIAM, THOMAS & LEVY. Thomas had one son, APPLEWHITE born in 1753. WILLIAM remained in Johnston Co. and his descendants operated the RICHARDSON MILL for many years. JOHN RICHARDSON built this mill in 1757 and it still is in operation as the ATKINSON MILL. One of the RICHARDSON daughters married an ATKINSON and the name was eventually changed. Others of this line invented VICKS SALVE and operated that chemical company until 1986 when it was sold to Proctor and Gamble. APPLEWHITE had four sons and seven daughters. The daughters married CHAMBLEES, BUNNS, O'NEALS, HOCUTTS. The sons, SAMUEL married CELAH HACKNEY and WILLIAM BRYANT married UNEY RAY. These two brothers moved south and ended up in Ala. in Sumter and Pickens Co.s. The other brothers, JONATHAN and APPLEWHITE II remained in Johnston Co. Both have many descendants there today. Some of the descendants of SAMUEL and WILLIAM BRYANT remained in Ala. while others moved to Freestone Co. Tx. after the civil war. Some remained in Freestone Co. while others moved to Montague Co.
