notes
See www.Findagrave.com memorial #17279639 regarding Amos Richardson, in which it is explained that Amos had only one known wife:
John A. Vinton's 1876 pub. "Richardson Memorial" errors in giving Amos an unidentified first wife named Sarah, who Vinton claimed was the mother of Amos' three eldest children. Anna Chesebrough Wildey's 1903 pub. "Genealogy of the Descendants of William Chesebrough, Founder of Stonington, Ct." compounds Vinton's error by also giving Amos a first wife Sarah, then expands her purported children to four by adding a non-existent son Jonathan. However, the non-existent Jonathan was Amos' grandson, the eldest son of Amos' son Stephen, the result being Wildey's complete lack of understanding the estate record of Stephen Richardson, including Stephen's wife Lydia (Gilbert)(Richardson) Chapman.
