Biography

One of the daughters of Joel Terrell, Sr. and his wife Sarah Oxford was Mary, called Molly Terrell. She married Isham Richardson and they were residing in Louisa County, Va. in 1765, but moved to Wilkes County, Ga. about 1784. He was credited with 650 acres of land in Wilkes and 300 acres in Washington County, Ga. Isham and Mary Richardson had a son Joel Richardson and a daughter Elizabeth Clark Richardson. Mrs. Richardson was living 5 Nov. 1787 when William Terrell and wife Frances and Isham Richardson and wife Mary sold 300 acres of land on Beaverdam Creek in Wilkes County to Thomas Terrell. (D. B. D.D. p. 6.) Isham Richardson’s will was dated 3 Mar. 1810 and he died the same year at the age of 86 or over. The will was not probated until 1816 because of dissatisfaction among the heirs over certain provisions of the will. (W. B. G. G., p. 44.) He made no mention of his wife in his will, so she must have died sometime between 1787 and 1810.
