Hussey de Burgh recorded Mrs. Sarah Richardson as the proprietor of over 500 acres in County Longford in the 1870s. It is possible she was the widow of James Auchmuty Richardson who died in 1864. In the early 1850s, Jane Richardson was the proprietor of one townland, amounting to 200 acres, in the parish of Taghseenod, barony of Shrule.
