Her house is near Carolyn Liebow's." [Note here that "Orient" may just mean away from Maine, per Ralph Stanley.] Mary Katherine "Carrie" Stanley Richardson (1848-1920) was the daughter of Enoch B. Sr. and Caroline H. (Guptill) Stanley. Capt. Lewis G. Stanley was her brother. She was the second wife of Capt. Meltiah Richardson (1828-1901) and mother of Emery Willard Richardson (1873-1883) and Charles Emery “Peter” Richardson (1885-1971). She attended higher education in Boston. She traveled with her husband on his vessel the Carrie M. Richardson and was an expert celestial navigator. Carrie is buried in the Stanley Cemetery. In 2001, the Great Cranberry Island Historical Society wrote and produced the original play, Carrie Richardson of Big Cranberry. [show more]
