It appears as though the Richardsons had lived in the vicinity of
Holmhead and Trailflat Kirk (near the Hazliebrae Farm) since at least 1700:
Tinwald, March 28, 1700... Robert Richardson who
had confessed a breach of the seventh commandment

From The Birthplace and Parentage of William Paterson: Founder of
the Bank of England

Towns

Map showing location of Lochmaben and Hightae, John Thomson's
Atlas of Scotland, 1832
Robert the Bruce, King
of Scots, founded the Royal Four Towns
early in the fourteenth century during the Wars of Independence
against the English. They are the villages of Greenhill, Heck,
Hightae and Smallholm in Annandale.

The Barony of Lochmaben or Fourtowns
From The New Statistical Account of Scotland, Volume
9, 1836
Hightae"The Hearth Tax Returns of 1691 suggest that homes
and possessions were simple and unostentatious for even the most
prosperous Kindly Tenants. Ninety-ywo households were listed. Hightae
was the largest settlement with twenty-eight, but Smallholm, Heck and
Greenhill numbered nineteen, sixteen and thirteen respectively.
Testaments and inventories prove that some of the inhabitants were
comparatively wealthy but the only homes to have more than one room with
a hearth were those of John Carruthers of Buss, Matthew Wilson of
Greenhill, Alexander Henderson, Joan Rae and Robert Richardson of
Hightae and Thomas Wilson of Smallholm who all had two each....
Although Kindly Tenant's holdings of land passed from
one generation to the next without documentation 'testaments dative'
were made to deal with debts owed to or by the deceased or if minors
were involved. These are mostly available at Register House in Edinburgh
and afford fascinating glimpses of contemporary life....
The runrig lands of Heck and Greenhill extended to
between two hundred and three hundred acres, divided in six hundred
parcels most of which were described as "very crooked" in shape. A Dr.
George Bell "raised a summons of divisions" in 1778 but he was opposed
by the Kinfly Tenant James Richardson, a merchant and former Provost of
Lochmaben who probably lived at Heck where the community was
particularly stable and united even by Royal Four Towns standards...
Hightae had its own school from approximately 1728
but the original building probably resembled a large cottage. In 1728
James Richardson of Greenhill Quass left £100
to be used to provide a separate institution in Hightae, as well as
£200 to pay a master at Lochmaben to teach ten poor
scholars English, Latin, writing and arithmetic. He was described as
"merchant of Reading and Dumfries" so must have made a fortune in
England and then returned home. Unfortunately, the records of Reading,
Berkshire and Dumfries provide no further information about this man who
gave Royal Four Towns children the enormous benefit of a basic education
which would enable the industrious and intelligent to go on to
university and other trainings."

Sometime before

USA.
 The Prophet Joseph Smith
"I am going like a lamb to the slaughter, but I am calm as a
summer's morning. I have a conscience void of offense toward God
and toward all men. If they take my life, I shall die an
innocent man, and my blood shall cry from the ground for
vengeance, and it shall be said of me, 'He was murdered in cold
blood.'"
-
Joseph Smith shortly before his death on June 27, 1844
The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or the Mormon Church
was founded by a young man named Joseph Smith, Jr. in April
1830. Church members were severely persecuted and driven
from New York, Ohio, Missouri, and ultimately Illinois.
After Joseph Smith's murder in 1844, the Latter Day Saints
or Mormons abandoned their homes in Nauvoo, Illinois in fear
that mobs would soon come to destroy them.
The Mormons fled from Nauvoo on February 4, 1846 for fear of
attack. The journey was bitter cold and miserable. It took
them approximately four months to cross Iowa, due to severe
weather and axle-deep mud. Ultimately, they crossed the
Missouri River and settled an area on the Nebraska side,
which they called Winter Quarters. Some of the pioneers
stayed there for the winter of 1846, while others stopped at
temporary camps outside of Winter Quarters. By the spring of
1847, almost 400 lives had been lost, largely due to
inadequate provisions and exposure.
- from
The Mormon Trail
William and Mary's
son Matthew may have been born in Nauvoo, Illinois on July 1,
1844 (Joseph Smith was murdered on June 27, 1844).
 Nauvoo Temple, c 1846

Nauvoo c 1846
In all of Church history, perhaps nothing symbolizes the
pragmatic nature of Latter-day Saint religion as does the city
of Nauvoo. On the very hem of the western frontier, the
Latter-day Saints drained the swamps, wrote an ambitious city
charter, established a university, mounted a city militia, and
built a temple.
To Nauvoo and its vicinity came the great majority of all
Latter-day Saint converts for the next seven years, swelling the
population to about 20,000 by 1846. At its height it rivaled
Chicago as the largest city in the state. A vibrant, culturally
eclectic place, it came to be known as "Nauvoo, the Beautiful."

Painting of the Exodus from
Nauvoo
On 4
February 1846, in the heart of a Midwestern winter so cold and
bitter the Mississippi River froze over, the Latter-day Saints
were driven from their homes and lands
(in Nauvoo)
down a street which came to be known as the "Street of Tears"
and into the unknown mystery of the western frontier...
"For Brigham Young and his associates, the 1846 exodus from
Nauvoo, far from being a disaster imposed by enemies, was
foretold and foreordained—a key to understanding LDS history and
a necessary prelude for greater things to come. From a later
perspective too, scholars of the Mormon experience have come to
see the exodus and colonization of the Great Basin as the single
most important influence in molding the Latter-day Saints into a
distinctive people". (Reed C.
Durham Jr., "Westward Migration, Planning and Prophecy," in
Daniel H. Ludlow, ed., Encyclopedia
of Mormonism, 5
vols. [1992], 4:1563).
- from
Nauvoo, Illinois, 1839-1846
"In every part of the city scenes
of destitution, misery and woe met the eye. Families were
hurrying away from their homes,
without a shelter, — without means of conveyance, — without
tents, money, or a day's provision, with as much of their
household stuff as they could carry in their hands. Sick men and
women were carried upon their beds — weary mothers, with
helpless babes dying in their arms, hurried away — all fleeing,
they scarcely knew or cared whither, so it was from their
enemies, whom they feared more than the waves of the
Mississippi, or the heat, and hunger and lingering life and
dreaded death of the prairies on which they were about to be
cast. The ferry boats were crowded, and the river bank was lined
with anxious fugitives, sadly awaiting their turn to pass over
and take up their solitary march to the wilderness."
- from Nauvoo Guide, 1939
No odyssey in Mormon history
surpasses the tragedy and triumph of the Mormon exodus (February
to June 1846) from Nauvoo, Illinois, to Winter Quarters,
Nebraska. Deaths and other tragedies were varied and numerous,
resulting from such terrors as “black scurvy,” cholera morbus,
typhoid fever, “quick consumption” (tuberculosis), and maternal
deaths, not to mention the weaknesses of human beings under
stress. The triumph derived from the successful emigration of
thousands of men, women, children, and livestock under such
abominable conditions.

In January 1848,
gold was discovered in California, launching the famous stampede
of gold seekers to California in 1849. For outfitting gold
seekers, Kanesville vied for preeminence with St. Joseph and
Independence. These men swarmed into Kanesville, practically
buying out the Latter-day Saint settlements? wagons, draw
animals, supplies, and food. Shortages sent prices skyrocketing,
benefiting sellers but pricing many Saints out of being able to
afford to head west that famous first year of the gold rush. One
estimate said that even with new ferries the Saints built in
1849, some 5,000 wagons of gold seekers in 1850 had to wait
weeks for their turns to cross the river. 30 Kanesville's
economy boomed.
Gold seekers brought into Kanesville a scene of vices and
virtues. But some travelers heading west became exposed to the
gospel and liked it. When the John Harris family reached
Kanesville on their way to Oregon, they stopped near Bishop
Joseph Knight's place. John Harris was ill. Prompted that the
Harrises needed help, Bishop Knight recruited another brother
and visited them. They blessed the man, who was instantly
healed. Impressed, the family converted and went to Utah with a
Latter-day Saint wagon train. 31
Kanesville's primary reason for being was to help Saints get to
Utah. From 1848 to 1852 an estimated 46 Latter-day Saint wagon
trains left, involving about 2,900 wagons and more than 25,000
Latter-day Saints.
The Pottawattamie High Council vowed to "spare no pains to
further, by all available means in their power, the emigration
to the Valley of the Great Salt Lake." Elder Hyde reported on 12
June 1850, "We have attended the organization of 350 wagons of
Salt Lake emigrants." Because cholera was so rampant that year -
reports said 60 Saints had died from it while crossing Nebraska
- the branches in Pottawattamie County observed 14 July as a day
of fasting and prayer.

Closing Down
Kanesville and Iowa LDS Settlements (1852) In April 1852, six years after Thomas L. Kane described the
encampment that became Kanesville, the following description of
the same area appeared in the local newspaper: "It is a fine,
flourishing town, and contains about 300 houses; 16 mercantile
establishments; 2 drug stores; 2 printing offices; 5 hotels; 4
groceries; 2 jewelers shops; 1 harness maker; 8 wagon shops; 2
tinsmiths; 2 livery stables; 2 cabinet shops; 5 boot and shoe
makers; 2 daguerrean rooms; 5 practical physicians; 9 attorneys
at law; 1 gunsmith; 1 cooper; several ministers of different
denominations; 3 barber shops; 4 bakeries; 1 mill; 7 blacksmith
shops; and about 1,000 to 1,500 inhabitants.
Kanesville had become a thriving community; thus many Saints
were getting "too" comfortable. But Kanesville and its
surrounding Latter-day Saint settlements were never meant to be
permanent. They were only to serve as stopover and recruitment
places. "Abandonment, not establishment, was the watchword." So,
in an epistle dated 21 September 1851, the First Presidency
instructed "all the Saints in Pottawattamie" to come to Utah the
next season "and fail not... What are you waiting for? Have you
any good excuse for not coming? No! ? We wish you to evacuate
Pottawattamie, and the States, and next fall be with us." Those
who make the sacrifice "shall be blessed." In response, during
1852 the Saints pulled out of Kanesville and western Iowa and
formed into a massive stream of emigrants flowing to Utah.
The next year, 1853, the locals renamed the city Council Bluffs.
"The natural influx of Gentiles," a county history states, "so
changed matters that its character as a Latter-day Saint
community was lost forever." Whether this change was morally
beneficial is debatable. Under the old dispensation the saloon,
gambling and bawdy house were not tolerated, but now blossomed
out in full vigor, and... the city was what would now be called
a wide-open town."

William Daley, Mary Ann Graham
and their children Matthew (8), John (4) and David James
(infant) traveled to Salt Lake City as part of the Mormon
Migration of 1852 in the Henry W. Miller Company departing Kanesville, Iowa on July 8, 1852, and arriving at Salt Lake City
between Sept 10 and Oct 2, 1852. They may have crossed paths
with the Russell sisters. See Janet, Elizabeth & Margaret Russell, from Scotland to Salt Lake
City, Utah - The Mormon Migration.
The Henry M. Miller Company
"Bro. Miller was an
excellent captain to travel with. Elder [Orson] Hyde
and family were in the company. We made good time,
passing all the companies along the road down to the
7th. The cholera was very bad on the plains that
year, but only one or two died out of our company.
Captain Miller would not stop in one camp long
enough for the people to get sick and die. It was
very sorrowful to see so many graves by the
roadside... We arrived in Salt Lake City on
September 24th, 1852.

from
Richard Bentley,
Autobiographical Sketch |
"After breakfast
everything was got in readiness for travel. The
teams and wagons were formed in line and started for
another days journey on the plains. New and
interesting to me was the various changes of the
landscape, and its immediate scenery. The river bank
in general was void of the lofty forest trees that
lined the banks of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, but clusters of Cottonwood and willows were
the distinguished forestry of the country. Nothing
of consequence occurred to break the monotony of
travel for several days, only the meeting of
occasional strolling bands of Indians either on the
hunt or merely nomadic, changing temporary location
for change of pasture for their stock: all
app[ar]ently peacefully inclined but always hungry.
At one time we had camped early one afternoon to
give our cattle and horses a chance of good pasture,
as the grass and vegetation was luxurious, for
oftentimes feed along the line of travel was rather
scant. We had not been long in camp when a moving
black mass of something hove [sic] in sight. Our men
were called out to collect the cattle together and
drive them some distance from the camp to prevent a
Stampede, as a herd of buffalo, which the mass
proved to be, were steering for the river to drink,
and our camp lay directly in their course, and at
such times nothing could turn them. On they came as
it were with the velocity of the wind, and with a
pandemonium of noises that would drive a tenderfoot
such as myself into hysterics, however I survived
the shock. Some of our men who had travelled the
plains two or 3 times previously knew what would be
the result of such a charge and prepared for the
onslaught by getting their guns in readiness. The
herd at last reached us, ran directly through the
camp to the river, crossed the river and kept on
their course. However some of the herd was stopped
by the rifles of our men and seven of the beasts
were brought low, some falling right by the wagons.
There were no other casualties, and we remained in
camp all the next day cutting up and drying the
meat. It furnished buffalo meat about sufficient for
the camp the greater part of the journey onward.

Autobiography of Richard Bee

The arrival in Utah of the United States Army
(1857) in an effort to control the seemingly rebellious Mormons was
a stimulation to the economy of Utah and particularly Provo. The
several thousand Mormons from Salt Lake City significantly, the
soldiers from Camp Floyd needed materials and supplies. When the
army finally left the area in July of 1861, more than $4,000,000
worth of Government property was sold at a public auction for about
$100,000. One of the merchants who had prospered because of the
residence of the soldiers was Samuel S. Jones. He had begun his
mercantile business in Camp Floyd, first by making adobe bricks for
the fort and then in partnership with William Daley by selling
vegetables to the men. After the army left, Jones who had bought
some of the government property, established a business with a
Jewish merchant Benjamin Buchman. This partnership and its later
dissolution are symbolic of the sometimes cooperation, more often
competition, between the Mormon and non-Mormon merchants in Provo.
The competition intensified with the Mormon cooperative effort. In a
1867 church meeting, Brigham Young exhorted the Mormons to maintain
economic self-sufficiency and to trade only among themselves. He
soon afterward suggested cooperative merchandising. Late in 1868,
the ever enterprising S. S. Jones organized a group of Mormon
merchants including David John and A. O. Smoot, at the "Provo
Co-Operative Institution." Utah's first cooperative store—the "West
Co-Op" was established on Center Street in the building built by
Andrew Stewart. S. S. Jones became the manager.
