Erasmus Richardson
Erasmus Darwin Richardson (November 26, 1810 - January 2, 1892) was an American banker from Geneva, Wisconsin who served as a member of the 1st Wisconsin Legislature in the Wisconsin State Assembly, as well as holding various local offices.〔Albert Clayton Beckwith. ''(History of Walworth County, Wisconsin )''. Indianapolis: B. F. Bowen, 1912, vol. 1, p. 553.〕
== Background and personal life ==
Richardson was born February 26, 1810 in Burlington, New York, son of Caleb and Clarissa (Knight) Richardson.〔 He attended the local public primary school, and taught school himself until the age of 21. At that time, he took charge of a small school in Cooperstown, New York, where he was assisted by Elizabeth or Betsy (sources differ) W. Spafford for three years. Ill health forced him to leave the teaching profession. He married Spafford on October 23, 1834 in Cooperstown; they would have one child, Elizabeth. He wandered in the unsettled western territories for a while, recovering his health; then returned to Cooperstown and worked some years as a bookkeeper. On August 30, 1841, Betsy died there.
In 1842, the widowed Richardson came to Walworth County, Wisconsin, settling on farmland in Hudson which was annexed by the village of Geneva in 1844. He soon found work at a store owned by the Spafford (sometimes spelled Spafard) family, and on February 16, 1843, he married Alma O. Spafford, sister of Elizabeth, in Geneva. He was an Episcopalian, and in 1850 was one of the officers elected on the organization of an Episcopalian church in Geneva.
