  • Notes 
    • Edna Risdon Neary, an early Risdon family genealogist, in her notes quotes "old family records" that state;

      Josiah Risdon was the son of Elisha Risdon, who moved from Stratford, Connecticut some years prior to the Revolutionary War where he conducted a school for boys who were preparing to enter England's Colleges and Universities. Elisha's son, Josiah, assisted him as a teacher in this school.

      Further research has NOT found evidence to prove, or disprove that Josiah was a son of Elisha, nor have records been uncovered for a school where Elisha or Josiah taught.
