== Early life ==
James Richardson was born in 1819 in Aughnacloy, Northern Ireland to Daniel Richardson and Janet Armstrong. He emigrated to Canada in approximately 1823〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Queen's Encyclopedia )〕 and at the age of ten years moved to Kingston. His business interests started in tailoring and soon moved to grain and potash speculation. In 1844, based on an advertisement in the 17 January 1844 ''Chronicle & Gazette'', he and "Little" started their own merchant tailor's business on Princess Street in Kingston. The advertisement indicated that their specialties included "broad cloths, plain and figured beavers, cassimeres, doe skine (), tweeds, fancy and clan tartans, and an assortment of vestings". And those cloths were promised to be "made to order in the latest and most approved fashionable styles, on moderate terms, and at the shortest possible notice".
