William H. B. Richardson is shown in 1860 census records as owning 81 slaves; a part of the Richardson family that founded the Citadel. His father was Gov. J. B. Richardson. His grandfather was Gen. Richard Richardson who, though an old man, was in the battle of Fort Moultrie, taken prisoner at Charleston and only released when death seemed inevitable.
