What you can find on this page:

This page contains results from a very small subset of the overall RICHARDSON Surname DNA Project.
All belong to assorted RICHARDSON lines from the Scottish Borders.
Those tested with FamilyTreeDNA are shown in the R1b Group 05 cluster of the Y-DNA results in the above project's public yDNA results and also have more lineage information in a DNA project subset on WikiTree (which has links to the family information available there).

Discussion & links

For fuller family trees of the RICHARDSON lines represented here, see Lorna's RICHARDSONs page
We are trying to find out more about the family of Ralph (RC-1) in particular, and the RICHARDSONs of Morebattle in general.
We intially only had one match, John (RC-2), whose ancestor Adam was said to have been born in New York (census records).

In Aug 2012, there was a flurry of excitement about a possible Bermuda connection between these two families, that brought in the family of James & Margaret (MABON) RICHARDSON, of Morebattle, whose sons James, and Thomas, were tailors in Bermuda.
It was also found that John's Adam was born in Quebec rather than New York (to James & Christian (OUTERSON) RICHARDSON, of Morebattle).
Both Ralph's and John's family have connections or potential connections to the family of James & Margaret (MABON) RICHARDSON.
- Ralph because Morebattle is where some of his ancestors were baptized (at the Gateshaw Secession church).
- John because his family were photographers in Bermuda for a time, and the granddaughter of James the tailor in Bermuda married one of John's relations, William Meade RICHARDSON, later of Wisconsin.

In Jan 2013, we found a third match, from a descendant of the James and Margaret (MABON) RICHARDSON above.
We had hopes that such a descendant would be a close match to John and a more distant match to Ralph, going some way to proving that they were one and the same James.
As we are trying to compare an Ancestry DNA test with the two FamilyTreeDNA tests we have already, this complicates matters. (The results have been manually converted using the SMGF conversions.)
RC-3 currently looks GD 2 to both Ralph and John, and from Ralph's perspective RC-3 is closer at GD2, with John (RC-2) at GD4.
Initial interpretation is that yes, the three trees are related but it looks unlikely that the Jameses are one and the same person.

Apr 2014 we have a fourth match (RC-4), from a descendant of William the Dancing Master, potentially one and the same as William born 1796 to James & Margaret (MABON) RICHARDSON above.
RC-3 and RC-4 are an exact match, but only for the markers tested by both Ancestry and FamilyTree DNA, so potentially anything from an exact match to 37 markers or GD5, or somewhere in between.

May 2016 has brought in a fifth match, another descendant of James and Margaret (MABON) RICHARDSON, this time tested on FamilyTreeDNA, so we are comparing like to like.
At 37 markers, Dave (RC-5) is a genetic distance of 2 (GD2) from RC-4, the descendant of William the Dancing Master, and GD 3 from Ralph, (RC-1) and John (RC-2)

Instead of all discrepancies being on faster mutating markers, we do now have two of the five matches sharing marker 456 = 17 instead of 456 = 16 the other three share.
Two of the five have also undergone SNP testing so we know that James (married to Margaret MABON) and William in Pringlestead share R-Z255, where the latter is tested for a sub branch R-L159.2 (see the R-Haplogroup tree which shows haplogroups, patriarchs and testees)
At least they aren't on wildly separated branches of the R-Haplogroup tree of mankind.
As yet, no autosomal DNA matches have been detected between these four RICHARDSON families but it is doubtful we actually know all of the descendants. If James married to Margaret MABON is the common ancestor of all except Ralph, that would seem to be well within the reach of atDNA given he is assumed to have married about 1795

Jul 2016 update:
Spurred on by the whiff of success, all 4 of the FTDNA tested kits are now on 67 markers, and 3 have done the Z255 SNP pack, all now being on R-ZZ7-1.
With yet another (slow moving) marker different in the 38-67 panel is it looking increasingly unlikely that James married to Margaret MABON, is the same James, later married to Christian OUTERSON
Whether or not William the Dancing Master does indeed belong to William and Margaret (MABON) RICHARDSON is a bit problematic to determine using purely DNA.
Tim's 67marker results remain at GD2 to those of the confirmed papertrail descendant of James and Margaret - one a slow moving marker, and the other a faster moving one.

Another set of FamilyFinder results for William the Dancing Master's line will arrive in a few weeks.

The next yDNA update will be once we have NGS test results for Ralph (aka BigY, analysed at yFull and by Alex Williamson on his BigTree).

Aug 2017 update:
We now have two of the above BigY tested, and undergoing analysis at YFull, both starting at the generic R-Y16467* sub branch, where we at the very very least expect to advance to below R-ZZ7_1 to the YFull equivalent of R-BY17700, which is what FTDNA has named the newly formed branch Ralph and Dave match too.
As always, more information would be great.
Any direct male line descendants of any of the unrepresented lines, or different branches of the represented lines, of the Morebattle RICHARDSONs out there willing to help by joining the RICHARDSON Surname dna project?
