He married Agnes Fraser of Georgetown, daughter of Benjamin Porter and Agnes Kirkpatrick Fraser, and they lived in Charleston. He was a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives (1836-1852, 1854-1860, 1864-1865) and a delegate to the Secession Convention. During his last term in the House, Richardson was elected district judge and served until 1868. He died in the prime of his life and is buried at Bloom Hill. Agnes Buford Richardson, his only surviving child, married James Sanders Guignard Mayrant of Columbia. (Note: should read Emma Buford Richardson). Note: The link for his mother is the correct link, however, her name may be incorrect in the memorial. According to the book, A Genealogical Record with Reminiscences of the Richardson and Buford Families by Elizabeth Buford Richardson published in 1906, Chapter VIII, The John Smythe Richardson Branch of the Richardson Family, page 81: John Smythe Richarson, attorney at law married Elizabeth Lucretia (Buford) Couturier in 1802. She was the widow of Thomas Courturier, and the oldest child of William and wife Frances (June) Buford. From the same book mentioned above, page 113: Francis deLesseline Richardson, Attorney-at-Law, married Agnes Fraser. He was the youngest child of Judge John Smythe and wife Elizabeth Lucretia (Buford) Richardson. Agnes was an only daughter of Benjamin Porter and wife Agnes (Kerpatrick) (Kirkpatrick) Fraser, and a sister of Hugh Fraser, Jr., and a grand-daughter of Rev. Hugh Fraser and first wife, Miss Porter. Col. Richardson's home was in Charleston, S.C., and he was a member of the Charleston bar. In 1848-49 he represented Charleston District in the South Carolina legislature. He and his wife were both strikingly handsome, and his many friends loved and admired him. He was a quick, brilliant mind, he knew no such word as failure. He was very affectionate, especially to his aged mother, and he had a kindly disposition. His children idolized him, and between him and his large number of nieces and nephews existed the warmest attachment. He was very bright, happy and cheerful, and his genial nature was inspiring. But all this life and cheer had to succumb to death when he was yet in the prime of manhood. He and his wife and their two little sons lie buried in Bloom Hill Cemetery. Four Children were born unto them: Maynard Davis Richardson, died in infancy; Agnes Fraser Richardson died unmarried; Emma Buford Richardson married James Sanders Guignard Mayrant, a cousin....; Peter Fraser Richardson was the youngest...died in infancy.
