Copy of portrait of Sarah Carter Richardson, hand-colored.
Sarah Richardson (~1831-unknown) was the widow of Mark Richardson, Sr. who was born about 1840 in South Carolina. She and many of her immediate family left South Carolina for Florida after the death of her husband Mark.
Sarah worked as a midwife. She had moved from South Carolina to Fort McCoy, Marion County, Florida with her twin sons Mark and Matthew, as well as two of her grandchildren Arthur and Esther Richardson. Her son Robert, his wife Martha, and their three children. Her only daughter and son-in-law also moved with Sarah to Florida.
