William Richardson was born on 3 March 1821 Indiana. He was the son of Caleb Richardson and Celia Humphries. William and Elizabeth Bush were married 16 June 1842 Indiana Marriages has this as 14 Jun 1842. Likely was the license date.

Note, this marriage, plus cemetery records make this a possibility. However, cemetery records have W. H. dying Feb 10, 1879. He shouldn't be on the 1880 census with this Eliz, but he is, and the age is not quite correct.

More research is needed. William Richardson died 10 February 1879, Tipton County, Indiana at age 57 years, 11 months and 7 days, age 57y 11m 7d. He was buried Richardson Cemetery, Tipton, Tipton County, Indiana, listed as W H.¹
